Going slightly pale when she heard that, Rhea quickly said, “A-apologies, Professor! I just had some extra time, which was why I thought I could at least help you out this way… D-don’t worry, I help the other professors too, so I’m really sorry if Mrs. Burton misunderstands my actions… If needed, I can meet up with her to explain-”
“There’s no need for that. Also, hand me my phone,” replied Zivon who had handed it to Rhea before conducting the experiment since the experiment could be affected by electronic waves.
Handing him the phone, Rhea politely said, “Here you go! Um… I should mention that Mrs. Burton called earlier, and I told her that you were in the middle of an experiment… After hanging up, she sent you a message…”
Squinting a little, Zivon growled, “…Didn’t I tell you not to pick up any calls…?!”
“I-I’m sorry! I just answered because it was from your wife, and I was worried that it had something to do with your babies!” whimpered Rhea as she quickly bowed in apology.
Following a heavy sigh, Zivon replied, “…Just don’t do this again. Now run along.”
“T-thank you for your forgiveness, Professor!”
After Rhea had run off, Zivon disinfected his phone before finally checking Xavia’s message… but after reading it, he couldn’t help but raise a slight brow.
Once she picked his call up, he was quick to ask, “Xav? How’s Stefan looking?”
“Got it. We’ll talk later, alright, Von?” said Xavia before hanging up…
Unbeknownst to her, Zivon’s expression had darkened considerably. After all, he recognized Mark’s voice anywhere! Why was he with her again?! As his discomfort grew, he forced himself to look at the tattoo on his hand… and after taking a deep breath, he tried thinking things through.
From what he knew about the situation, Mark was probably headed for S City too, and if they met halfway, then their current situation would make sense… There was nothing to be suspicious about…
After reassuring himself of that, he shook his head before returning to his desk… However, as he was sorting out his messages, he realized that he had missed one from a few days back. Realizing that it was from an unknown number, he raised a brow before clicking on it…
