Chapter 194

After she sent the message, Briony didn't bother waiting for a reply. She made her way to the lounge, stretched out on the couch, and drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up from her nap, it was already half past two.

She washed her face, left her office, and headed back into the restoration room.

It wasn't until her work was done that Briony remembered to check if Stewart had replied.

Briony answered honestly. "He said he's away for a couple of days, but we'll talk when he's back."

James nodded, "I believe him. The professor mentioned yesterday that there's an artifact overseas that's about to get tied up in a lawsuit. The legal team is out there meeting with Professor Thornton to discuss strategy."

"Alright, then we'll just wait a couple more days," Briony said.
