Marshall entered the laboratory and found Catherine seated in her office. He was confused. “Catherine, aren’t you going to the authentication conference?

Catherine looked up at him, puzzled. ” Yeah. Why?”

“Then you should be preparing,” said Marshall. Catherine seemed to be carefree as a person who was going to attend a authentication conference.

Catherine grinned. “Don’t worry about it. Someone will do it for me.”

“Look at you guys! What are you talking about?” Someone interrupted them. Marshall turned around and saw Ultan and Rylan standing behind them. It was Rylan speaking.

Marshall looked at Ultan, wondering why they were there. Ultan explained, ” I invite Mr. Melton to the authentication conference.”

“I was worried about her preparation for the authentication conference,” answered Marshall.
