ON THE WAY TO A MEETING

"XIAO LAN, tell Reas to heat up the food once he wanted to eat lunch," Astrid told his AI cat housekeeper.

His brother was using the virtual pod he bought him. Reas was probably playing one of his Mecha battles now. Ever since he bought that virtual pod for the other, Reas had been diving in the virtual world to play Mecha battles whenever he didn't have anything to do during the weekends.

It's understandable since that was Reas' only hobby since childhood. He hadn't played much after they arrived here at the capital. Then, school started, and he became even busier. Weekends were basically his rest days. The only time he would go out was when Astrid would invite to hang out. Of course, that didn't include that one lunch date he had with Lauren.
