Chapter 180: Chapter 180 – Ministry of Education I

Year 5, Fall, Second Month, First Week

“Ernest, I have to talk to you…”

The project manager danced around the kitchen, picking up breakfast, gently kissing his wife, and tickling his one-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, he was pressed with time and could barely spare a few minutes for his family. Since last week, when he was assigned to the project responsible for improving transportation between the Capital and the Tunnel, he didn’t have time to sit through a proper meal.

Though he would prefer to lead a less critical project and spend more time with his newborn child, the job was a one-time opportunity, with a bonus big enough to pay for the rest of his house installments in one go. Additionally, his performance would be carefully observed by Minister Reiner. It wouldn’t be impossible to get a promotion if he did a good job.

“Can it wait until tonight?”

Instead of answering, Moira showed an angry expression. Ernest knew better than to ignore this sign.
