Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 406

Carlson: "You applied for a lab in my name with the administration?"

"Oh, yes, that did happen."

"Who's going to use it? So I can get in touch with them."

Edna chuckled, "No one's going to use it."

"Just leaving it empty?" Although he had anticipated this, Carlson couldn't help feeling a bit down.

"Yes, empty."

He knew he shouldn't ask any more questions, just like the countless times before, it was better just to accept it.

But he couldn't help thinking about Roseanne confronting him, and Carlson suddenly asked, "If it's not going to be used, then why apply for it?"

Edna raised an eyebrow. It seemed she hadn't expected this sudden bite from the usually tame dog.

Her smile became even warmer, "Just because we're not using it now doesn't mean we won't in the future. Academic resources are all about grabbing what you can when you can, surely I don't need to teach you that?"

"What resources are in there?"

Edna replied, "Well, there's a CPRT meter in there, isn't there?"

Carlson reminded her, "Our research group already has one."

"Having two wouldn't hurt."

"What seems redundant to us could be incredibly valuable to other research groups..."

"Carlson." Edna cut him off, "Are you too free today? Have you finished everything in the lab?"

"…No."

Edna's expression darkened, "Since you haven't, focus on what you need to do. You don't need to worry about anything else! Even though you're a genius with outstanding academic achievements, you still need to remember who provided you with these resources and who created these opportunities for you!"
