The eavesdropper behind

Capitol City University

Anna knocked on the door of Edward's office and timidly entered after getting permission.

This was her third visit to Edward's office this week, yet she wasn't one of the students Edward was responsible for.

Her reason for coming was a bit unusual, and it was the same all three times: she was looking for any trace of Ryan.

Edward Smith was an advisor in the Department of English at Capitol City University and also Ryan's graduate advisor.

At least within the university, Edward had the most opportunities to see Ryan, which was why Anna kept visiting.

"Professor Smith, any news about Ryan?"

Ryan was a graduate student in the English Department. Technically, he was Anna's senior, though Ryan himself had never heard Anna call him that.

Anna walked up to Edward's desk like she owned the place. This time, she didn't even sit down,she was just there to ask about Ryan.
