Chapter 52

The phone started ringing off the hook and Noella grabbed her phone, hitting the answer button.

Dubhe, a researcher from Lunar Lab, was howling on the other end.

“Boss, someone dropped off the latest lab gear for us, and guess what, it’s from the Pollack Group! They say it’s a gift for Mr. Pollack’s fiancée, but who the heck is a fiancée in our lab? It’s all dudes and beasts here! Should we even take this stuff? What If there’s a bomb inside or something? And if it blows us to kingdom come, I wonder if they’d find any shining wisdom in my remains.”

Noella said, “The lab gear’s for me.”

“What? You’re kidding, right? I mean, no offense, but who in their right mind would see you as a damsel? Wait a sec, it’s really for you? Since when are you chummy with the big boss of the Pollack Group?”

The Pollack Group is a mega conglomerate that’s got its fingers in pies all over the globe, from oil to toilet paper, they’ve got a stake in it.

“Just accept the stuff and zip it.”

“Hold up, the Pollack Group sent a bunch of potions too, stuff you can’t even buy with cash. Boss, you sure you didn’t do anything sketchy? Don’t tell me you knocked over the Pollack Group!”

From the side. Phecda chimed in, “As if! The boss ain’t like that. If she was gonna hit the Pollack Group, she’d totally go for the whole shebang, not just swipe some trinkets!”

Noella was speechless.

Palmer was muffling a chuckle with his fist, shoulders shaking. He was clearly amused by the clowns Noella had around her.

“Shut it, just log the data and keep your traps shut, or I’ll use you as guinea pigs for my next dissection practice.”

Two screams came from the phone, “Ahh, I knew our boss is stone–cold! She’s terrifying!”

“Hang on, the boss is the fiancée of the Pollack Group’s CEO? Does that make me part of her wedding gift?”

“You clueless? We’re more like bridesmaids! Heehee, when the boss marries off, do we get to dress up too?”

Noella hung up, totally exasperated.

Palmer was trying hard not to laugh, his shoulders bouncing up and down. It was a rare sight to see her looking a bit flustered–adorable!
