To Confess

At Elysium Biotech Institute, Rain finally managed to finish everything by two in the afternoon and headed straight to the airport with Clifford, who would need to stay behind for a few more days.

"You don't have to stay here with me; you should head back already," Rain murmured as Clifford accompanied her inside the airport.

"Well, I'll just make sure you're on the plane before I leave," Clifford replied with a grin, guiding her to the waiting area. "Stay here, I'll grab us some bubble tea."

Rain watched as Clifford headed off to buy the drinks. She smiled to herself, feeling warm inside, thanks to Alexander's earlier text message. He had reminded her to eat before the engagement party and to bring some chocolates with her, which she would pack in case she got hungry later.
