Project Proposal

I heaved a sigh of relief once the reintroduction of Ana and Beruel went relatively well.

Even though I spotted Jane glaring at Beruel more times than I could count, no incident occurred.

Ana seemed excited to be in the presence of Jane—a bit too excited, to be honest.

She was here to work, wasn't she?

'Well...'

I knew Jane would find Ana charming and incredibly useful once the work started, but my main worry was Beruel and Jane. Fortunately, I knew I could trust her with separating personal affairs from official matters.

"You don't need to be so apprehensive, Jane. I no longer have any interest in the Fairy Sanctuary. You can keep ruling it, if you desire."

Beruel's words were gentle, and his eyes were genuine. His sudden change really surprised me, if I was being honest.

I could only hope that it was the same for Jane.

"Whatever. Let's discuss the project. That's why we're together, right? Jared?"
