Chapter 87 The Surprise Guest at the Lab
Sierra had spent the entiredayinthe lab, but this time she wasn’t staying late. Just as she was about to leave with some ideas m mind, she ran into someone she hadn’t expected, Kason.
After their last meeting. Kason had been away on business,and they hadn’t been in touch for days. She hadn’t expected to bump into him here.
Seeing her, surprise washed over Kason’s face. “What are you doing here?”
He glanced at the lab behind her. “Is this the lab you’re using?”
Instead of answering, Sierra asked. “Andwhat brings you here?”
“Because my family owns this research institute!” Kason replied, giving Sierra a meaningful look. “It seems we really are fated
Sierra’s expression darkened slightly.
She hadn’t realized that the research institute belonged to the Richardson family, and the connection between Shane and Kason was deeper thanshehadthought.
“Are you done for theday?Wanttograb some dinner?”
Kason invited her, his gaze intent on Sierra. Naturally inclined to get closer to him, she agreed without hesitation.
She changed her clothes and leftwithKason. As they departed, she glanced back at the institutewithaslightfrown. She had a hunch, but she wasn’t sure if itwastrue.
Kasontook Sierra to a restaurant and into a private dining room. Sierra’s face changed subtlyasshe entered; she hadn’t been here before, but the room was strangelyfamiliar.
The things Shanehadshown her included this room twice. Looking at the large floor–to–ceiling windows, unsettling images flashed through her mind, making her feel physicallysick.
“What’s wrong”
Noticing her hesitation, Kason took a couple of steps towards her, Sierra instinctively stepped back, then quickly composed herself and rubbed her forehead, saying. “Maybe I’m just lightheaded from hunger.”
“Sit down.” Kason said, reaching out to help her. Thistime, Sierra didn’t dodge. She noticedthatasKason withdrew his hand. he seemed to unintentionally scrape hers. It feltasif a slimy snake hadwrappedaround her, leaving a sticky sensation
While Kason was giving instructions to the staff, Sierra wiped the spot wherehehadtouchedher.

“Ijustgot back todayandheard about the bullying you faced. I tried calling you, but you didn’t pick up.”
“I saw your livestream today;youwereimpressive,”Kasonsaid, his eyes full ofadmiration. “T’d always heardthatMr. Evan wasagenius inthisfield, but it turns outyou’renoless capable.”
“What are yourplansafter graduation? Are you thinking about joining Xander Pharmaceuticals?”
Sierra’s heart stirred at the question, but her faceremainedneutral. “Let’s not beat around the bush.YoushouldknowI don’t get along with the Xander family”
Kason chuckled, his expression indicating he was well aware. Itwasno secret among their circle that he wasn’t a good person, and yet his daughter was sent to them. What kind of relationshipcouldthey possibly have!
“If you’re not considering Xander Pharmaceuticals, haveyouthought about Richardson Pharmaceuticals?”

“Oh?Whatare you interested in then?”Kasonasked, genuinely curious.
Sierra took a bite of her food and said slowly, “Something that at least feels challenging

Kason’s expression grew even more pleased as he watched her, his gaze heating up. He licked his lips and said, “You really are different.Ihavea feeling we’ll work well together.
Sierra smiled noncommittally, neither confirming nor denying. Her ambiguity threwKasonoff, making him feelasif hehad. been tickled, itching with anticipation.
Perhaps spurred by Sierra’s words, Kason grew bolder that day. When they were leaving, he even suggested they go to a r upstairs, but Sierra dodged the invitation.

She glanced at him and said, “Mr. Kason, aren’t you rushing things? Although I agreed to see where this goes, whether or not you’re to my taste depends on your performance.”
With a light laugh, she added. “I hear Mr. Kason is quite the playboy. Don’t disappoint me. You know, I’ve served three years in prison; ordinary just doesn’t impress me.”
Kason was even more excited by her challenge. Dropping all pretense, he eagerly said, “Givemea few days to prepare. Trust me. I won’t let you down.”
