DING~
The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and Richard stepped in alongside Marina Granovskaia.
"…"
Nana~🎵🎶
An awkward silence settled between them as light, almost comically upbeat elevator music played in the background, making the situation even more surreal.
Richard cleared his throat, trying to break the tension. "Ehem… Miss Marina, have you worked with Mr. Abramovich for a long time?"
Marina, as composed as ever, glanced at Richard with a faint smile and shook her head gently."No, I actually just started not too long ago. My sister was the one who introduced me."
"Ah, I see. Following in the family's footsteps?"
Marina thought for a moment before replying with a soft chuckle. "Not exactly. I'm working with Mr. Abramovich as part of my thesis—just until I can graduate."
"Ah, so you're still a student?"
"Almost done," she replied, a little sheepishly. "Just one more paper to go."
