Chapter 25. Before Dinner

Emma's head felt heavy. Chapter three of her thesis had been completely overhauled by her college advisor. It turned out that conducting research in the field of ergonomics wasn't as easy as she had thought. Despite it being her favorite subject. If it's like this, can she still achieve her goal of graduating by March next year? Ah! She was truly frustrated. The longer she stayed in college, the more expenses she had to incur.

As if dealing with the extensively revised thesis wasn't enough, a flurry of messages from Andrew inundated her phone on this Saturday afternoon, adding to her exhaustion. He incessantly sent messages, reminding her of the dinner gathering at his house tonight at 7 o'clock. She had to attend because all the members of the Jonas family had confirmed their attendance.

"Uncle? What are you doing here?" Emma's footsteps halted when she saw Tom standing in front of her house.

"Uh, I came with the Young Master to pick you up," Tom replied.
