Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 325

At 7:30 AM, Roseanne arrived at the lab.

The others hadn't shown up yet when suddenly, there was some noise coming from the lounge.

Accompanied by footsteps, Owen emerged from inside.

Their eyes met, and both paused, taken aback.

Owen thought back to his hasty exit the day before, feeling slightly awkward.

Roseanne remembered her pretend sleep and the scene she had caught a glimpse of...

She also felt uncomfortable.

"Morning," the man broke the silence.

Roseanne nodded slightly, "Morning."

After that, she quickly moved to her workbench and started to busy herself with her tasks, even forgetting to put her lunch in the fridge.

Owen mentioned, "I'm heading to the break room. I can put that in the fridge for you."

Roseanne replied with a brief, "Thanks, Professor."

When lunchtime came, Roseanne left the lab.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Corley, hands in his pockets, standing not too far away.

The man wore his shirt in a carelessly stylish manner, the top buttons undone, paired with dress pants. It didn't look bad at all; in fact, it had a certain easy charm.

"Sorry, have you been waiting long?"

Corley responded, "Just got here a bit ago."

Roseanne asked, "What's up with Mr. Olson?"

Pulling out a document, the man handed it over, "This is the final exam Mr. Olson set for his class. He couldn’t be bothered to do it himself, asked me to work through it and come up with an answer key for his grad students to use for grading."

That old man, not willing to lift a finger!

Everything's getting dumped on him!

But that wasn't the worst part—

"I finished the questions and the answer key. When I gave it to him, he actually said he wasn't confident in it and wanted you to check it over to make sure it's correct!"

He was clearly mooching off Roseanne this time.

Hans Olson wondered, "What's the problem with her checking?"

He was too clever by half!
