Soon enough, he was in his usual lab coat, and as he was working on his new project, he heard his curious co-worker ask, “What’s that, Professor? I don’t think I saw anything like it in our project list…”
Not even bothering to glance back, he indifferently replied, “A little personal project.”
…Oh? Now everyone was even more curious!
“…You know, if you’re working so diligently on it, we at least know who you’re making it for…”
“Right? Mrs. Burton sure is a lucky woman! I wonder if it’s her birthday or anniversary…”
Raising a slight brow, Zivon eventually looked up and replied, “…Do you all want to work overtime?”
Naturally, nobody wanted that, and they awkwardly bowed before hurrying off, causing the lab to fall silent once more…
As the brilliant mind continued working tirelessly on the project, Xavia herself was busy organizing her work with Bianca and Dolly’s help.
Eventually, Dolly couldn’t help but ask, “…Honestly, why the big rush? It’s not like you have anniversaries due… Besides, even if there is a big day, isn’t he normally the one who surprises you?”
