章 62: Housewarming Again

The next day, Jacob called Khalifa to ask her to come to his housewarming later that night.

"Already?" Khalifa asked as she sat in front of her phone and laptop, downloading all that she could to prepare for the inevitable information lost.

He might be academically slow, but he handled this really quickly.

"Khalifa, come on, please? Come to my housewarming, I'll order loads of food!"

He seemed very excited to finally have a legitimate excuse to call her over.

One could imagine it wouldn't be easy to tell him of her trip.

In the end, she decided to call him. "Khalifa?"

"Did I bother you?"
