Inside the room, the two people on the bed, upon hearing Leia's words, only then realized that they had spent the entire day in the room, and it was already dark outside.
Selena, who had been completely absorbed in her thoughts earlier, didn't feel much at first. Now, prompted by Leia, she suddenly became aware of the rumbling in her empty stomach.
She tugged at Osvaldo's sleeve and whispered, "I'm hungry..."
Osvaldo rubbed her head, suppressed the heat in his body, and got up to pick up clothes from the rack, helping Selena get dressed. Twenty minutes later, the well-groomed couple finally emerged from the room.
Waiting outside, Leia, who had prepared to receive her young master full of chill, was suddenly stunned when she saw Selena coming out of the room. Was the young madam actually strong enough to get out of bed?
Selena was in a good mood. She smiled at Leia and said, "Good night." Then, with raised eyebrows, she linked her arm with Osvaldo's and went downstairs to have dinner.
Leia, with wide eyes, looked at the backs of the two people, completely baffled. Although Selena's face showed some fatigue, there were no signs of excessive exhaustion, let alone anything else...
So, did their master and young madam really just spend the whole day talking in the room?
Leia, dazed, followed them downstairs. In the hall, under the warm light, various delicious dishes were already laid out on the table. Having gone without food all day, Selena's appetite opened up at the sight of the food.
She walked to the dining table and sat down. Osvaldo served her soup. The young couple finished their meal locked in the room, completely unaware that Selena's absence from the research institute due to her day off had caused a stir.
As everyone knew, Miss Turner was a true "workaholic." Since taking office, she had never taken a day off, except for when she got engaged. However, she unexpectedly took a day off when the owner of "Sacred Pearl" came to the capital.
Upon receiving the news in the morning that Selena had postponed receiving the owner of "Sacred Pearl" due to personal reasons, the entire research institute was in an uproar.
"The dean really has something going on, or..."
"That's the owner of 'Sacred Pearl,' and she delayed it just like that, not giving the other party any face. I feel like kneeling to her..."
"I've already knelt; I was just scared out of my wits..."
Almost everyone was prepared for the mysterious and aloof owner of "Sacred Pearl" to be dissatisfied. However, unexpectedly, there was a calm response from the other side.
Apart from confirming when Selena would be available to visit the research institute, the owner of "Sacred Pearl" showed no sign of discontent throughout.
This approach made a group of mechanical engineers who already admired the owner of "Sacred Pearl" even more fascinated.
Such magnanimity and tolerance were much better than the previous Miss Beatrice, who was unknown.
Truly deserving to be the head of Lab 717.
In a gorgeously decorated villa, Robert raised his wine glass, sitting on the sofa with a stern face, staring at the night outside the window.
A somewhat cold voice came from a corner, "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this move?"
Robert remained silent, just squeezing the fingers holding the wine glass with a bit more force.
The person addressed as "Your Majesty" was undoubtedly the most difficult person to figure out in the world.
In major matters, she would never show the slightest neglect.
