Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 201

Chapter 201

Roseanne had an idea brewing, but she knew she had to wait a bit longer...

Wait until her current contract expired before she could make her next move.

That day, as usual, Roseanne stepped out, planning a visit to the library.

Just as she left her apartment building, she bumped into Owen.

He had been engrossed in preparing for a new research project, pulling several all-nighters, and had just returned from his lab.

"Morning, Mr. Reynolds," Roseanne greeted him with a smile.

"You know, outside of class, you can just call me Owen," he replied with a hint of resignation.

"By the way, I wanted to ask for your opinion on something. Remember the project I told you about before? The one I never got to finish?"

Roseanne nodded. She remembered it well. That project aligned perfectly with her research interests. And...

She couldn't bear the idea of abandoning such a carefully selected and finely crafted project halfway; it seemed like such a waste.

"Have you made up your mind? Do you want to continue working on it?" Owen asked.

Without hesitation, Roseanne nodded: "Of course, I do! But... I don't have a lab right now, so I can't complete the data part, so it's not..."
