Chapter 155: Everyone likes Thai food
After their visit to the omega research department, and their little talk with Dr. Liu, Andrew was feeling a bit more relaxed about everything, and it was lunchtime.
It was the time that Michael was supposed to come check on him, and Andrew was actually excited to tell him how good he was doing. Richard offered to have lunch with the three of them, but Andrew declined. He had a feeling that Michael’s chat wasn’t going to be a short one.
His fellow researchers were two friends from university, Dr. Ainsley Cox and Dr. Hailey Piper. Both were quite nice, but Dr. Cox was the one who had seemed eager to have a research subject on the team. The girls had seemed disappointed when Andrew had said no, but after he explained he needed to go meet up with his Doctor, the group was far more understanding.
So, Andrew headed off on his own to go up to the lobby once he’d gotten a message from Michael asking if he could meet there. It was a rather big deal, since Maxwell had controlled everything on his way down. Not that he had any issues with that, he just worried he’d set off an alarm or something absurd like that.
When he stepped into the elevator, there were two other researchers inside. On a quick note, Andrew knew that they were either omegas, or smaller betas, and Andrew immediately hesitated about getting into the elevator.
They seemed hesitant as well, but told him to come in, and Andrew did. He could have waited, but appreciated their consideration. He tried to stay as far away from them as possible in the small space, and once the doors opened for the lobby he stepped out quickly, wishing the two of them a good afternoon as he raced out.
He didn’t want to make them uncomfortable with his pheromones. That was the last thing he wanted.
Moving quickly, he scanned the people scattered around the lobby. It was oddly busy compared to before, and that was when he realised a lot of people were milling about smoking outside, or were waiting for food to be delivered. Huh.
No wonder Maxwell had had such poor nutrition before Andrew got into his life. Andrew would need to bring that up to someone, probably Maxwell and Mr. Newman? Maybe Mr. Beckett? He’d have to see who would have more power in this regard.
