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.

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.

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."
