By the time Ashley Bowen came back to her senses, Howard had already waved goodbye and left the lab.
She picked up the ticket. It was an all-access pass for a two-day trip to Shangji Island, with a listed price of 888.
Looking at the picture of the Gold Coast's sandy shores and the azure sea on the ticket, a small smile touched Ashley Bowen's lips.
When she got home from her classes that evening, Ashley Bowen was greeted by a rich, fragrant aroma the moment she stepped into the palatial main hall.
The dining table was laden with food. After days of eating nothing but steamed dishes, it was a rare treat to see a table full of braised and stir-fried options.
She had specifically asked Elaine to prepare it all in advance.
"Elaine, where's His Highness?" Ashley Bowen went to the kitchen, pushing the door open and peeking inside.
Sarah was lending Elaine a hand; the two of them were simmering a soup.
"Oh, His Highness is in his study, working."
"Okay."
