Chương 249: Invitation

Erik walked out of the gym with Amber in tow, feeling rather tired since he had been training since this morning and had just ended his sparring session with Amber. She had always been a great training partner, and he admired her dedication to martial arts.

As they walked towards their rooms, the two arrived at a part of the building where they had to split, but Amber started mentioning something before going.

"Hey, Erik…" the young woman said, "I just wanted to tell you that my parents are throwing a party next weekend, and I wanted to invite you. There will be many important people there, so you should attend; it is an occasion to get to know the higher-ups…" she added.

"Why should I? It's not like I want to meet them… But I appreciate the invite," the young man replied.

"I know, I would also avoid this if I could, but unfortunately, I know that making connections is part of the job and that it is important for our future, so just come, OK?" Amber replied.
