Chapter 528

Owen Reynolds had lectures today.

During the break, he overheard two students discussing that the fire department had slapped a notice on one of the Life Sciences department labs, mandating renovations.

He didn't pay much mind to it until he heard the name "Roseanne" pop up in their conversation.

Upon inquiring further, he discovered it was Roseanne's lab.

He immediately rushed over and arrived just in time to catch a conversation.

"Professor," Roseanne greeted him, "What brings you here? Please, come in."

Mamie and Scales also chimed in with their greetings.

Owen Reynolds said, "I've heard about the situation. If the fire department's renovations go as planned, it'll take at least two months. For now, move your equipment to my lab; there's plenty of space." It sounded like a decent solution...

However, Mamie and Scales didn't immediately jump on board but instead looked to Roseanne for her decision.

Somehow, Roseanne had become the de facto leader of their little group.

Whenever there was a decision to be made or a crisis at hand, they instinctively sought her opinion.

Moreover...

They weren't brazen enough to assume Owen Reynolds's offer was solely because of them.
