“Because this is the studio supplied to me by my company. StreamWave Studios is under Microworks

Corporation,” Zero explained.

The Microworks Building had a total of seventy floors, and it was Covenford’s tallest office building to

date. Because of its extremely modern appearance as well as the transparent observation deck at its

peak, it became one of the landmarks of the city and attracted a great deal of tourists to visit.

However, this was Larissa’s first time here.

6:30 pm was way past the business hours of most companies. A few banks nearby had already turned

off their lights, merging with the darkness of the night. However, the Microworks Building was still lit up

like the brightest star in the sky. Not a single floor was dark.

This was probably normal for an IT company.

Having seen Travis working overtime before, Larissa was nonchalant even as she faced this brightly lit

skyscraper. Her two companions were likewise unbothered–after all, they’d had significant life

experiences.

Larissa texted Zero. “I’m downstairs.”

Zero responded instantly, “I’ll be right down!”

The security of Microworks Building was very strict. Only those with work IDs and visitor passes could

enter.

Zero’s trip down was to deliver the visitor passes to her. But after ten minutes, Larissa did not see her.

Just as she was about to call Zero sent her a WhatsApp text. I’m sorry, Larissa! There are a lot of

people

headed down to the cafeteria to have their dinner at this time. The elevator’s a little slow T.T”

Larissa bit her lip but replied, “No rush.”

The night winds grew colder, and the three of them stood outside the building awkwardly as passers–

by and patrolling security gave them looks.

As Starbucks was still open, Larissa suggested, “Do you want to go grab a coffee to warm up?”

The other two agreed when a cheerful voice sounded from a distance. ‘Get me one too!”

Larissa turned to see that it was Dylan of all people standing at the door. Next to him was Kevan, who

had a

hand in his pocket while the other had his phone up.

“Mr. Shields, Mr. Rogers.” Larissa quickly greeted them.

Dylan smiled in return while Kevan said nothing due to being on a call. He did, however, nod lightly in

response.

“Why are you here?” Dylan asked while shooting curious looks at her two companions.

Larissa replied, “To see a friend. She’s a streamer with StreamWave Studios.”

“Oh.” Dylan did not ask for details. StreamWave Studios is on the 45th floor, do you need me to take

you up?”

He reminded her. “You probably can’t get in on your own.”

“It’s fine, my friend will be here soon.”

Dylan and Kevan would never come out on a whim. Larissa did not want to delay them with a little thing

like that. But the moment she finished speaking. Zero texted her again. “Larissa—I’m still waiting for the

elevator. I think—I might have to wait for a while. Maybe you should go to Starbucks for a bit—?”

“Sure.” Larissa texted back and stowed her phone away. “What would you like to drink, Mr. Shields?”

asked Dylan.
