Chapter 692: Project Proposal

I heaved a sigh of relief once the reintroduction of Ana and Beruel went relatively well.

Even though I spotted Jane glaring at Beruel more times than I could count, no incident occurred.

Ana seemed excited to be in the presence of Jane—a bit too excited, to be honest.

She was here to work, wasn't she?

I could only hope that it was the same for Jane.

"Whatever. Let's discuss the project. That's why we're together, right? Jared?"
