Ellinor was almost done eating. She took a sip of water and said, âActually, itâs not a kid Iâm talking about, itâs Veronica.â
Moran was taken aback and he furrowed his brows, âEllinor, Veronica is a university student; I only tutor elementary and middle school students.â
âCanât you just tutor her like sheâs a kid?â
âOh Howâs that gonna work? Sheâs a university student; tutoring her elementary school content would feel freaking weird, wouldnât it?â
Ellinor said seriously. âOur little sister here has been slacking off since she was a kid, so her basic knowledge is super weak. I think you know about her grades at Creston University, right?â
Moran was silent. Veronicaâs grades really sucked.
Ellinor continued. âShe was born into a family like ours, so she doesnât need much education to make a living. But I want her to learn more about basic knowledge and common sense. Moran, can you help tutor her?â
7m sorry. Ellinor. I might not be the right guy for this.â
Moran remembered that he once rejected Veronicaâs love confession, so he thought he should stay away from her to avoid any misunderstandings.
He only took Veronica with him to distribute flyers becausé Ellinor asked him to.
Seeing his reluctance, Ellinor offered again. âWe can pay you more. Arenât you trying to earn your tuition by working part-time? And save up some start-up funds before graduation?â
Athough Moran wasnât from a super-rich family, his family was well-off. He was working part-time because he wanted to be independent as soon as possible.
When it came to start-up funds, Moran hesitated. He really needed the money.
After thinking about it, Moran nodded, âAlright, Ellinor, Iâll take on this task! How far do I need to get her?â
Elinor smiled. âUntil you feel you can call it a day!â
Moran thought for a moment, âOkay! Iâll do my best to make you satisfied.â
After they reached an agreement, Ellinor tumed to Devin, âDevin, have someone clear out a guest room, take out the bed, and replace it with a large desk. Iâll be the study room for Veronicaâs tutor.â
Devin was surprised that Ellinor was concerned about Veronicaâs studies; he immediately sent someone to do as she instructed.
When Veronica came downstairs for some fruits and drinks, she intentionally stopped in front of Ellinor, her tone somewhat irritated, âHey!
Elinor Elinor was daydreaming, and Veronica knocked her back down to earth, âHmm? What?â
Veronica took a while to say, âThank you!â
Elinor smiled, âWhy thank me?â
Amph! You know exactly why!â Veronica flipped her chin up, grabbed her fruits and drinks, and went upstairs for tutoring.
After watching Veronica run upstairs, Ellinor daydreamed for a while longer, then excused herself to Devin and walked out the door.

The construction site for the Crescent Moon Project.
It was the plot of land that the Blanchet Corporation had bought to build a new office building. It wasnât originally vacant.
It used to be a run-down neighborhood in the city center. All the old buildings had been demolished before construction began, and the foundation work had started recently.
The foundation work was very important as it concerned the safety of the Blanchet Corporation staff for many years to come.
Wearing a safety helmet Ellinor inspected the entire site.
Chase followed her nervously, offering help from time to time, worried she might trip or hit something.
He was very careful, âEllinor, thereâs dust everywhere. You really shouldnât be here.â
After making sure there were no issues with the foundation, Ellinor sternly told Chase. âThis project is huge, and it concerns our companyâs reputation. We need to closely monitor every step and make sure no oneâs cutting corners!â
