Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 739

Seeing Ruby’s eagerness to avoid Sullivan, Nyla couldn’t help but smile. “Okay, I understand.”

The experiment finally ended around 7:00 p.m.

After cleaning up the equipment and workspace, Nyla was preparing to leave when Sullivan approached her with a bag of food.

“Nyla, you all worked hard on the experiment, so I brought some food,” he said.

Surprised, Nyla raised an eyebrow. “Sullivan, that’s very thoughtful of you.”

Tina, who knew Sullivan well, joined them. “Sullivan, you’re as considerate as always.”

In the past, when they worked late on experiments, he would bring them food. She hadn’t expected him to continue even after the teams were split up.

With a friendly smile, Sullivan said, “Of course. You’ve all been working hard. As the project leader, it’s my duty to handle the logistics.”

Since eating wasn’t allowed in the lab, he set the food up in the nearby office.
