Chapter 124: If It’s Just a Visit
Fecha de publicación:
2026-10-21 22:00:40A little after one on Thursday afternoon, Riley walked into a small three-story building with Vivian.
There was no giant WHITMORE FOUNDATION sign over the entrance. Just a small plaque beside reception, with the name of a youth employment support center underneath it.
“This is way more normal than I expected,” Riley said.
“What exactly were you expecting?”
“More... foundation.”
“What does that mean?”
“I don’t know. Like a giant pictur

Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 138: And This Is Only Part of It
The afternoon portion of the tour did even more damage to Elliot’s sense of scale.The students moved into the shipping area, where an elevated walkway overlooked the operation below. Boxes streamed continuously along conveyor belts, labels were scanned, and packages split off toward different destinations. Workers loaded carts farther down the line, while beyond them, trucks were being filled one after another.“Does all of this go out today?” one of the students asked.The guide shook his head.“Not all of it. What you’re seeing is only part of the merchandise handled here.”Elliot looked down at the floor below, then back at the guide.“...Part?”“Yes.”Noah leaned forward beside him. “There’s already a ridiculous amount down there.”“There is,” the guide agreed. “But this facility has additional storage areas you haven’t seen. And this isn’t the company’s only distribution center.”He said it as though this we
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 137: The Place I Chose for Myself
On Saturday morning, Elliot watched through the window of the university bus as the cityscape gradually flattened out around them.The tall buildings thinned away, replaced by wide roads and sprawling warehouses. Eventually, a massive gray building came into view, so large that Elliot couldn’t immediately tell where it ended. A company logo stretched across one side, while enormous trucks moved steadily in and out of the surrounding lots.“That’s... big.”He hadn’t meant to say it out loud.The guy sitting across the aisle laughed. “I was literally just thinking the same thing.”His name was Noah Bennett, another sophomore in Elliot’s department. Elliot had seen him around campus a few times, but this was the first time they’d actually spoken.“It looked like a regular warehouse in the pictures,” Noah said. “Just... bigger.”“Same.”Noah glanced at him. “So why logistics?”“I wanted to see it.”Noah looked mildly
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 136: The Five of Us Doing Absolutely Nothing
Saturday afternoon, all five of them were at Riley’s apartment.There was no event.It had started with Jax posting I’m bored in the group chat. Benji was bored too. Tasha had nothing planned until the evening. Elliot was free. Riley didn’t have a diner shift.So Riley had sent—Then come over?An hour later, everyone was there.“So what are we actually doing today?” Tasha asked.“Nothing,” Riley said.“That was the reason you summoned us?”“We were bored.”“Extremely valid.”Jax dropped onto the couch.◇It was the same small apartment where all five of them had watched a movie before.This time, they hadn’t even picked a movie.Benji was showing Elliot pictures of the broken printer. Jax had taken it upon himself to inspect Riley’s refrigerator. Tasha was sitting on
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 135: This Is the One I Want to See
Sunday afternoon, Elliot had four sets of materials spread across his desk.They were for the short student workplace-observation programs Richard had sent him.Finance.Real estate.Manufacturing.Logistics.He had already read through all four once, but he hadn’t made a decision immediately. There was still more than a week before the deadline, and he no longer thought answering quickly had any value by itself.After leaving them alone for a few days and reading them again, though, Elliot noticed that there was one set of materials he kept opening without really meaning to.“I think it’s this one.”Maple was asleep near his feet.The program Elliot was looking at was the logistics company.◇What caught his attention first wasn’t the company’s size or name.It was what the program actually included.Warehouse automation systems, delivery planning, inventory management, and the way sam
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 134: Professor, This Is an In-Person Lesson
Tuesday afternoon, Elliot had just left the university library when a message from Riley appeared.Professor, you free today?Elliot replied as he walked.Still not Professor, but I’m free after five.Can you come to the diner?Sure.Then we’re doing an in-person lesson＼(^o^)／I don’t remember agreeing to teach a class.I’m bringing the materials.Apparently, it was another draft for the job-training program.Elliot smiled at the screen and sent back a simple Okay.◇He arrived at the diner around five-thirty.Riley was still working.“Professor, welcome.”“You’re doing this here too?”“You’re a guest lecturer today.”“Do I get paid?”“One coffee.”“Cheap.”“I&rs
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 133: You’ve Been Making a Lot More Decisions Lately
Saturday afternoon, Elliot was brushing Maple in the Ashford living room.At first, Maple had sat quietly in front of him, but halfway through, the view outside the window became more interesting than the brush. Every time she shifted, Elliot had to move with her, until somehow both of them had migrated all the way to the other side of the room.“We did not start over here.”Maple wasn’t listening.“We’re going for a walk later.”“Are you negotiating with her?”Catherine’s voice came from behind him.“Trying to.”“Is it working?”“I think I’m the only one participating.”Catherine laughed and sat down on the sofa.◇Richard came in a little later.“Elliot, what does your schedule look like next month?”“University?”“That and everything else.”Richard sat in the chair across from them.“A few companies I know are offering short workplace observation programs for stu
