Hold On

Five days later, the rail carriage parked at a station in southern Asgard. Afew minutes later, a light carriage departed from the station, bypassing the peripheral of the city and finally entering the manor along the mountain path.

The door opened and soon closed in the night.

Lola pushed open the door and heard the tide.

People in the big manor were hurrying to and fro. Everything was illuminated. Someone hurried down stairs of the doorway. He reached out to help Lola get off the car like a thoughtful and gentlemanly housekeeper.

"Professor Lola, it must have been a tiring journey!"

"Richard, did you ever smile so warmly when you were in college?" Lola said gently. "Alas, your smile is too fake and disgusting like your boss."

Richard's face twitched. He looked away. "I am just a temporary public employee. I haven't even signed any agreements. Please don't embarrass me."
