The next morning, Ayla woke up at 8 a.m.

During the night, she had a sudden idea and rushed to the study to write it down, staying up for a while.

On weekends, Meryll would come over and cook all their meals. After Ayla finished breakfast and Meryll started cleaning up, she seemed like she wanted to say something, but didn’t.

“What is it?” Ayla asked.

“Why didn’t I see Mr. Storm?”

Ayla froze. It felt strange hearing that. She knew Draven had moved in, but seeing Meryll actually worry about him made it feel real.

Draven was really living with her now.

From now on, they would eat breakfast together every morning. If nothing changed, this could last for two

years.

It all felt a bit unreal.

Ayla looked at her phone.

Draven had sent her two messages.

The first, at 6 a.m., said, “Something came up. I’ll be back tonight.”

Was he telling me about his schedule?

That made living together feel even more real.

Around seven, he sent another message, “Text me when you wake up.”

Ayla quickly replied, “I’m awake.”

He replied quickly, “Okay.”

Ayla put the phone down, realizing once again that they were really “living together.”

Draven’s place was right next door. His house had everything he needed, and his study was even bigger. During the day, he would probably be at his own place or out for work.

Since they were “dating,” living together really meant he would sleep at her place.

Draven was busy and sometimes had to work at night. He couldn’t keep running back and forth, so the small study Ayla made for him was for nights when he had to work late.

Chapter 296 Roommates

Thinking about it, Ayla could already imagine what their life as roommates would be like.

At night, whether he came home or not, they would just let each other know. In daily life, they didn’t interfere with each other. She didn’t ask what he was doing-apart from their cooperation, they were both independent people. Push too much, and it ruins boundaries.

Ayla said, “Meryll, if he’s here, make an extra breakfast. If not, don’t worry about him.”

“Okay.” Meryll had just realized they slept in separate rooms. She wasn’t exactly sure what kind of relationship they had. Of course, Draven was steady and responsible, and she secretly hoped they’d end up together.

But she didn’t pry too much. She knew as a housekeeper, it wasn’t her place.

Ayla stayed in the study all morning working on her data. Even with her small supercomputer at home, it still wasn’t enough. Progress was slow, and without results, the research would go nowhere.

She decided to head out to find Halle.

Friends sometimes just understand each other. Halle happened to be looking for her, too. “Ayla, about what I told you last time-Ms. Alvarado from Alvarado Group invited us. Want to go?”

“Sure. I need your help anyway.” Since the divorce, they met almost every week unless Halle was on a business trip.

“Then let’s meet at the alumni event tonight. It’s the School of Computer Science alumni chapter. Alvarado Group is one of the partners, and Lisa will be there, too.”

Ayla said, “What a coincidence.”

She technically wasn’t qualified to attend. Skyla had mentioned it once and said she’d try to get her a pass.

Alumni events were full of top talent-a group of really accomplished people. Alumni helped the school with donations, funding, talent recruitment, and boosting its reputation.

Last year, the alumni group donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Agron University.

Especially alumni from top overseas schools-they were on another level. At law school, grads either went to top law firms or into government. In the workplace, alumni often helped each other out. Staying in touch was important. Being in the same major made it easier to share inside information.

“Coincidence? Ayla, you knew this before, right?” Halle asked.

“I’m not qualified. I’m not going,” Ayla said.

Halle asked, “You’re not qualified? That’s funny. If you went, they’d treat you like a legend. How many honorary alumni have skills like yours? Come on, tell me. What’s going on?”

“I’m just not interested,” Ayla replied.
