Chapter 1840

Leonard, a cheerful and outgoing young man, worked skillfully at the machine while apologizing profusely. "Sorry about this. I don't know what's up with this machine today. It's being a bit temperamental. I hope it's not causing too much trouble for you." Karina smiled back warmly. "It's no problem at all."
