Chapter 1: Introduction
Stepping onto the university campus always felt like stepping into a world that bustled with life without pause, all within its sleek, modern architectural frame. It was as if nature herself had been skillfully tamed and groomed between every well-designed lecture hall and state-of-the-art research facility. Lily paused for a moment on the cobblestone pathway, savoring the campus' energetic thrum.
Behind her, the Business Administration building sat regally amidst the lush green foliage and manicured lawns.
Lily took a deep breath, feeling the crisp morning air fill her lungs before letting it out in a soft sigh. Her impending study session might have been the cause, but the sudden appearance of a tempting distraction, one that could potentially rearrange the entire course of her day, was certainly a welcome prospect.
A delectable aroma wafted through the air, and Lily soon found herself drifting towards its source: a small espresso stand conveniently nestled in a grove of trees.
