Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 1247

Austin turned and saw Lily approaching.

"Professor Thompson." Lily greeted.

"You came just at the right time. The team just finished a set of experiments, but it's still not right. Come and take a look at what went wrong." Thompson was eager to bring Lily into the lab.

"Professor Thompson," Austin could not help but call out.

"Uh..." That made Thompson tilt his body sideways and raise his hand. " This is Austin Fike. I believe you two met yesterday. You haven't visited the institute recently, so you might not know him. Austin just joined US not long ago, and he's the student of a reputable teacher in this field!"

After a pause, he continued, "You two can chat since one of you is an expert in medicinal herbs while the other is an expert in fragrances. I'm sure the two of you can create sparks and miracles through exchanging ideas."

Lily looked at Austin and nodded lightly as if yesterday's unpleasant incident did not happen. Then she smirked. "I wonder who Austin’s reputable teacher is?"

"Well..." Thompson did not know how to respond to that. Everyone in the industry implicitly understood that Austin was Dominic’s student. However, as it was something Dominic did not publicly announce, no one would mention it even though they all understood it.

After all, Dominic kept his student a secret from the public for now. If he wanted it to stay that way, everyone would pretend they knew nothing about it yet, although it was the opposite.

"His teacher is a respectable man, and he’s one of the pioneer researchers of medicinal herbs. Since he prefers to stay lowkey, I'll not say too much about him," Thompson explained.

Austin, who was by Thompson's side, had his hands placed in front of him as he straightened his back. "My teacher doesn't care about his fame and likes to stay lowkey. I don't like using his name to get certain things for myself when working. After all, we're doctors, and the most important thing is saving lives. We don't care for fame, popularity, and whatnot.
