A Replacement Bride

Chapter 278

Katherine was carrying out a much more important assignment and she had no intention of fighting with these people.

At that moment, she shot him an indifferent look before stating calmly, "Where's the lounge?"

Howard heaved a slight sigh of relief upon seeing her relent. He quickly nodded and bowed as he pointed to the corridor on the left.

"It's that way, Miss Cornell. Go ahead."

As Howard said that, he turned around and spoke to the other researchers standing by the side. "You guys, why are you standing around in a daze? Hurry up and make the necessary arrangements. Prepare some snacks and beverages and send them over to Miss Cornell in the lounge."

The others finally came to their senses upon hearing his words and they proceeded with their tasks.

However, Katherine suddenly announced coldly, "I don't need snacks or beverages. Just bring me a glass of water."

As she said that, she shot an indifferent look at Rita before turning to look at Howard.

"Professor Walt, I'm not one to waste time. I've wasted half an hour because of the researchers working under you, so I'll only spare you fifteen minutes to get everything ready for me. Fifteen minutes later, I want to start work promptly in the laboratory. As for this woman…"

Katherine lifted a hand and pointed a finger at Rita.

"I don't want to see her when I'm working in the laboratory over the next few days. You can get her to take a break or fire her. I just don't want her to appear in front of my eyes."

As soon as Katherine said that, Rita paled and she revealed a horrid expression.

Howard was momentarily stunned as well but after weighing the pros and cons, he naturally went along with Katherine and quickly nodded earnestly.

"Okay! Sure! No problem! Don't worry, Miss Cornell. She definitely won't appear in front of you ever again!"

Katherine no longer commented on anything else upon hearing his assurance. In the end, she headed over to the lounge.
