He Wouldn't Let Her Go

Marina was hungry. Finally.

"What do you want to eat?"

Ryder breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to be tortured anymore. He should have learned that he must not play chess with Marina again.

"Let's have beef and vegetable casserole. It's too cold!"

Marina stood in front of the French window. Outside the window, it was all white. The streets were silent, and there were only a few pedestrians walking by.

It was not convenient for people to get out in this weather. So Ryder told his employees to work at home. If they lost power at home, they could rest for a few days if there was no urgent matter.

"Whatever you want."

Ryder didn't object. Marina then said that it was boring to eat beef casserole with Ryder alone. So she wanted to invite her friends. Norton had talked about it for a long time, but neither Ryder nor Marina had time. He had been lonely in the laboratory for too long.
