Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

At 7:30 AM, Roseanne arrived at the lab.

The others hadn't shown up yet when suddenly, there was some noise coming from the lounge.

Accompanied by footsteps, Owen emerged from inside.

Their eyes met, and both paused, taken aback.

Owen thought back to his hasty exit the day before, feeling slightly awkward.

Roseanne remembered her pretend sleep and the scene she had caught a glimpse of...

She also felt uncomfortable.

"Morning," the man broke the silence.

Roseanne nodded slightly, "Morning."

After that, she quickly moved to her workbench and started to busy herself with her tasks, even forgetting to put her lunch in the fridge.

Owen mentioned, "I'm heading to the break room. I can put that in the fridge for you."

Roseanne replied with a brief, "Thanks, Professor."

When lunchtime came, Roseanne left the lab.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Corley, hands in his pockets, standing not too far away.
