• “Son, what’s this rumor I heard that you and Nora have broken up?” I instantly recognized that voice. This couldn’t be. I stopped behind Ryden’s office’s door before I could knock. I was supposed to ask him if he had updates on Zarah’s research of a mystery burned page, but it seemed that I was the one who was getting updates on his relationship.

I knew it was bad to eavesdrop, but I was curious about the man with Ryden, now that he mentioned Nora, it verified my initial hunch. Alec Webster, Nora’s father owned a big company in the city.
