Chapter 1541: What a waste of space
Later that night...
Penny yawned, alone in the pharmaceutical lab.
"Gosh..." she muttered. "This is so boring."
She wondered what she had found enjoyable about this job, as it now seemed incredibly dull. Maybe she had just enjoyed life more, making this seem more boring now.
But that wasn’t what truly irritated her.
Frowning, Penny gazed at the mixture she had been experimenting with like a mad scientist. Then, her eyes shifted to a transparent, round jar containing the other half of the lethal pill. Reaching for it, Penny examined it briefly.
"Damn it," she whispered. "I’ve already gathered all the ingredients, yet no one seems to have succeeded in creating an antidote for it."
Another heavy sigh escaped her as she set down the pill and turned her attention back to the drugs before her. Pushing herself away from the counter, she slid over to another long counter where some books were resting.
"I must have missed something," she muttered, wondering if she had lost her touch. With that thought in mind, Penny decided to reread some books, hoping they might refresh her memory.
Juggling two jobs wasn’t easy, but if it lowered the chance of this lethal drug harming her or her family, she didn’t mind.
As silence settled over the lab, a quiet, gentle voice suddenly cut through the air.
"Didn’t you say you hated this place?"
