The weekend flew by, and soon it was Monday.

Nyla returned to the R&D department to continue her experiments.

Lucia also came back to work, but she was much more low–key than before, pretending not to see Nyla and completely lacking her previous arrogance. Whether she had truly learned her lesson or was just biding her time to scheme again was unclear.
