Jared was a little uncomfortable after learning the news and stopped contacting Trisha.

They both returned to Chanaea after graduating from Maxwell University. To his surprise, Trisha applied for and was hired to be Harvey's assistant in Jupiter Group.

Alas, he was instantly proven wrong when Trisha joined the man in a nearby booth. She clinked her flute glass against the man's and took a light sip.
