For someone so unknown, even being allowed to observe from the side room should have been an incredible honor.

But now, being allowed to enter the actual lab and observe up close would no doubt stir

resentment.

She let out a quiet laugh.

“All right, but if someone starts trouble, can I count on you to curse them out for me?”

Jack blinked. “…Can you not go looking for trouble?”

Scarlett burst out laughing. “You really think I’d flip a table?”

Jack suddenly turned serious.

“If they really start bullying you and you don’t flip the table, I will. Don’t worry-Jasper’s got your back.”

Scarlett paused, startled.

Something warm stirred quietly in her chest.

She’d only joked with Jack to ease her nerves.

She hadn’t expected that he and Jasper had already prepared everything to support her.

No one had ever cared for her like this.

Not even pretended to.

A rush of emotion surged through her, overwhelming her in an instant.

Her voice came out a little hoarse. “Okay. I’ll be careful.”

After all, this opportunity to learn was rare. She wasn’t someone who couldn’t appreciate it.

Jack grinned. “Whoa, did I scare you? Relax, this is nothing.”

Scarlett shot him a massive eye roll.

Then walked straight into the lab.

As she sat down, the hem of her coat caught the light-faint blue fluorescence from when a centrifuge tube had burst earlier.

Under the morning lab lights, it glowed a cold, pale blue.

Jasper glanced over at her.

Her brow bones were smooth and defined like the rim of a porcelain bowl. Her eyes lifted slightly at the corners, long lashes casting butterfly-wing shadows on her cheeks. Her irises shimmered like spring water, crystal clear and mesmerizing.

The others in the room frowned slightly when they saw her.

Jasper introduced her calmly. “A friend of mine-an outstanding talent in this field.”

The experts exchanged glances, their faces full of unspoken disdain.

Outstanding?

This young?

Heh.

Everyone said Jasper wasn’t into women, a research-obsessed hermit.

But now…

Well, she was undeniably beautiful. It wasn’t hard to see why Jasper might be tempted.

Still, out of respect for Jasper, they held their tongues.

In the observation room-

The moment Pixel appeared on screen and wasn’t immediately thrown out, Rebecca nearly jumped out of her seat in panic.

“That looks like the girl I saw last time at Skycrest Labs-Scarlett?”

One of the professors studied the screen carefully.

After a moment, he nodded. “Yeah, it’s her.”

Micah turned toward the screen too, and the moment he saw Scarlett’s face, his heart jolted hard.
