章節 467: Budget

"I'm glad you found the time to see me," Professor Boatbell announced while taking his seat behind the metal table. "I know things aren't easy for you in this period."

"Don't even mention it, sir," Khan politely replied, sitting on the other side of the table. "I'm actually sorry I couldn't plan something with your family's representatives. I hope this dinner won't offend them."

"Don't worry about it," Professor Boatbell reassured. "I've already warned them, and they understand your situation. They even wish to express their gratitude for having this dinner in the first place."

Khan smiled but didn't add anything. His return to classes had been messier than he expected, so he had used Professor Boatbell to escape the many invitations. The two had met in one of the Harbor's restaurants the same night, and the place had granted them a private room.
