บท 179: Gathering Information (1)

Logan and I were finally separated after a long talk with each other. He still didn't want to spill the beans about his secret mission, despite me continuously telling him that I would be alright. 

But he said that he was afraid I'd be targeted, so he didn't want to tell me anything. 

I returned home quite late today, and when I arrived home, Mom's car was already parked outside. 

I entered the house and found Mom sitting side by side with Grandma. Her face looked so bright as if she just got a bonus or something good.

Her joyous smile also brought happiness to me. I approached her and asked, "What's the good news, Mom?"

"Ah, Emmy! Do you know what I just got at work?"

"What? Tell me, I'm curious."

"I… got a salary increase!" Mom announced happily. I was happy with the good news, but I was a tad surprised and confused.

"That's great, Mom! But, what did you do to get that salary increase?" I asked.
