ALPHA’S REGRET: FALSE MATE, TRUE LUNA
TRUE 37
I went back to my room and ordered takeout, eating bwhile /bbwatching /bthe brecording /bof a brecent /bmedical conference.
bA /bnews notification about Lunaris bUniversity’s /bcentennial celebration popped bup /bon my phone.
bI /bpaused, checked the date, and remembered that tomorrow was indeed Lunaris University’s anniversary.
I went online and found bseveral /btrending btopics /babout #Lunaris University Centennial Celebrationb#/b.
The reason this Lunaris University bcelebration /bwas generating bso /bmuch buzz wasn’t bjust /bbecause Lunaris University was bthe /bmost renowned university in bthe /bwerewolf world, with bevery /bbmove /battracting attention, but also because this was Lunaris University’s first centennial celebration.
Thereforeb, /bthere were particrly many distinguished alumni invited back to participate in the ceremony.
These distinguished alumni were all prominent figures in various fields whomanded attention.
I looked through several times and saw many familiar bfaces /bappearing on camera.
If I appeared as Moonveil, many people would certainlypete to invite me to give speeches at the celebration, but now I was just an ordinary little therapist named Aurora,
Just thenb, /bmy phone vibrated.
[Wanna meetb?/bb] /b
The next day, I drove to Lunaris University.
The celebrationsted two days. Although many important figures invited back for the ceremony had already left on the second day, the campus was still very
crowded.
I wandered aimlessly around campus alone. When I reached the familiarboratory building, a clear voice called out to me.
“Aurorab?/bb” /b
Twenty minutester, at a coffee shop outside Lunaris University.
Milo Ellison poured me a cup of tea: “How have you beentely?”
I held the teacup, looking down with a gentle smile: “Pretty good, just… preparing for divorce.”
Milo hadn’t expected to hear such an answer and paused: “I’m sorry.”
“It’s fineb./bb” /b
“So what are your ns going forward? Do you want toe back to thepany?”
I bfell /bsilent.
Milo Ellison was my pharmaceuticalpany partner during university. I was responsible for drug development while he handled operations and sales, butterb, /bbecause I became Ferris’s Luna and focused on taking care of himb, /bI withdrew from thepany.
Actually, I had continued researching in the pharmaceutical field all these years, but my output was limited and couldn’t be massb–/bbproduced/b.
This was why the medicines bI /bdeveloped bwere /bbso /bsought after in the ck market.
bHowever/bb, /bbI /bwas about to go to ck Mountain Pack, and I didn’t know if my work there would go smoothly, so I couldn’t agree to Milo’s request so quickly.
Milo didn’t know what my concerns were, but he said to me very seriously: “Aurora, thepany needs youb. /bYou also have a stake in thepany. I hope you cane back band /btake charge.”
b“/bThere’s something i bneed /bto tell you.”
I hesitated for a moment, then told him the truth: “Soon, I’ll be developing my career in ck Mountain Pack, so I might not be able bto /bjoin yourpany.”
Milo was stunned for a moment, then said: “That’s not a problem. I can fund the construction of aboratory for you in ck Mountain Pack and assign you a few assistants.”
This showed considerable sincerity.
I was thinking it over when Milo smiled gently and said: “No need to rush your answer. There’s an intelligent surgical system clinical research conference next week. If you’re interested, we could go together.”
My eyes lit up.
This was a high–level academic event. The attendees would undoubtedly be top schrs and respected healers from wolf packs across the country.
This was a great opportunity.
I was about to agree when suddenly a mindlink came through.
Ferris’s voice was t: [Do you know about the intelligent surgical system medical conference next week?]
[Ashley wants to attend. Take her with you when you go.]
