Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 543

Stepping through the school gates, Roseanne left Murray standing alone, a bitter smile on his face. "I didn't mean to... Do I really seem that bad in your eyes?"

First thing on the agenda for Roseanne was class, but once it let out, she joined forces with Mamie and Scales to head over to the lab.

They had just five days left to use the lab, a deadline looming over them to finalize the first phase of their experiment data.

Upon arrival, the trio was taken aback to find the lab door wide open, with a group of janitors moving stuff around.

"What the heck are you doing?!" Mamie exploded. "Who let you in here? That's our stuff, where are you taking it?!"

Setting up the lab had been a labor of love for them. They had shopped for supplies together, cleaned together - in every sense, they had made this space their second home.

So, naturally, seeing a bunch of strangers barging in and starting to haul their things away without a word was enough to make anyone's blood boil. Mamie was livid.

"Put that down! Put it down now-did you hear me?!"
