Chapter 232: Shared Laughter
As the sun moved slowly in the sky over the Cayman Jungles, Brie was seen walking briskly towards the laboratory.
She had been tirelessly working on fulfilling all that Arthur asked of her. So much so that she rarely changed her lab coat, constantly needing to be reminded by her peers that she needed to stop forgetting to bathe.
Who was she to care about hygiene when important experiments needed more attention? Her attire usually consisted of basic cargo pants and her lab coat over a simple dress shirt.
That was all she needed. That and her glasses.
There was a sense of excitement in her stride today; she was close to a breakthrough.
However, as she approached the automatic doors, she noticed something peculiar. They hadn't opened.
She tilted her head to the side in suspicion.
"Hmm, that's odd," she muttered to herself. She reached for the door panel, ready to press the button, but something held her back.
The door was never locked to anyone unless something important was happening inside. Instead of opening it manually, she lightly knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, my lord?" she called. "Are you inside? I really wanted to finish that project I was working on."
Her calls were met with silence.
