Ryder had just come out of Divinity when he heard the voice of Shu coming from outside. He took off the glasses and kept that in his inventory before he got off the bed and stepped outside.
As soon as Ryder stepped into the hall, he saw Shu sitting on the sofa. A cup of coffee was in his hand, which he was sipping casually. Alice sat some distance from him.
"Why was your phone off? You didn't even message. Do you know how worried we were?" she asked Shu.
"I'm sorry. Circumstances were such where I was unable to contact you. I'll make up for it, though. Let's go to the Maldives on a two-day vacation with Ryder," Shu told Alice as he smiled apologetically.
"Maldives? But it'll take time. Tickets and everything else needs to be arranged. Moreover, we don't have many days left. College is about to open soon," Alice asked with a concerned look on her face.
