Rachel entered the study at night to serve Justin with some tea.

At the sound of the door being opened, he instructed her without looking up, “Put it down.”

For now, Rachel didn’t plan on telling him that she had seen the formula.

Since the dosages weren’t listed, she was worried that even if she informed Justin about it, he would think she was hiding something from him.
