Hello everyone, Author here!
No, I'm not stopping the story! I just wanted to let you know that I may not be able to upload a new chapter this week because overtime has started again, and unfortunately, work is going to be taking up a lot of my time.
I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as I can, but if there's no update this week, that's why.
Also, just so you know, the next chapter is titled:
[Chapter 18: Carmen, Don't Do It]
And honestly... you should probably be worried about that title.
