Thus, Sierra had nothing but disdain for her. "Ah, I see what's happening. She's trying to sweep things under the rug, isn't she? She wants to get back together with you."The scorn in her voi

From that day on, Anya and John's wedding was a hot topic online.

    The plane landed in the freezing cold of Miravia.As I tightened the jacket around me, I quickly spotted Jerome happily waving at me.He promptly wrapped me in a bear hug the second I shivered my way over to him."Congratulations on leaving the past behind."I gently punched him on his shoulder.The joking grin on his face faded away the very next second as he said, "Let's go. We've got a lot of ground to cover.""Oh, right. This is your new assistant, Sierra Howler." He turned to gesture toward the young woman who had been following behind him this whole time.After we exchanged the customary pleasantries, I was rushed straight into the laboratory.I had been thrown straight into work the minute I met up with Jerome.It was past 11:00 p.m. when I finally had the chance to trudge to the place I'm renting.The next morning, I left for the office bright and early at 8:00 a.m.An entire week slipped by me in this grueling routine.Finally, the laboratory was officially ready f
