Chapter 571:
Ellie was worried she might have misidentified the person. Surprised, the girl turned her head and exclaimed, “Boss p>
“Why are you here?” Ellie asked, puzzled.
Flossie was briefly flustered. “I came to give keys to a friend, but I accidentally dirtied a guest’s clothes earlier. I wanted to make it up to him, but I couldn’t find him p>
“Then once you find him, head home promptly p>
“Yes, boss, don’t worry. I’ll make it to the lab on time tomorrow, and it won’t affect the experiment p>
As Ellie got into the car, she suddenly remembered. If she wasn’t mistaken, it was a woman who had stained Levy’s clothes!
A drug development researcher’s hands should be the steadiest, so Flossie shouldn’t have spilled wine on someone else, right? Could it really be just a coincidence?
Ellie was about to ask Kaiden, but as she glanced at him, she found him casually observing her, chin propped on his hand.
“Boss?” Kaiden asked.
Ellie was left without words.
“That person doesn’t strike me as someone you’d find working in a bar,” Kaiden’s comment immediately debunked the excuse Ellie wanted to use that the girl was a staff member of the Rich Bar.
“‘Lab?” Kaiden asked again.
“Aren’t you drunk? How are you recalling everything so clearly?” Kaiden raised an eyebrow curiously.
Ellie shut her eyes and explained, “I’ve invested in a lab project. Since I’m funding it, the girl earlier called me boss.” She was merely the one providing the funds, at most just an average project starter.
Beneath the midnight city glow, the Rolls-Royce glided along. Kaiden wrapped his arm around Ellie’s waist, lifting her onto his lap.

“Hey!” Ellie patted his cheek softly.
“Stay still,” he insisted, resting his head against hers. “It’s not like the first time I’ve held you p>
Ellie had just glanced at the driver, who promptly raised the partition between the back and front seats, cutting off any chance for Ellie to use him as an excuse. Of course, it was because Bruce had trained him well!
“Just an investor?” Kaiden asked, looking at the charming woman on his lap. “Mrs. Thorpe, you have a history.” A history of deception.
If he hadn’t caught her with the Rich Bar owner’s issue, she might still be pretending.
“Of course, I’m telling the truth. You know, the lab focuses on researching and developing targeted cancer drugs. I’m not a biology or chemistry student, so how would I understand lab matters?” Ellie made a sensible argument.
Kaiden silently chuckled as he held her.
