Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 719

Scales had been dealing with some family issues lately and hadn't been to the lab.

Just after five, Mamie started packing her bag. "Roseanne, I've got dinner plans tonight, so I'm heading out."

"Alright," Roseanne replied, glancing over to see Mamie still holding onto a cracker. It was likely just to curb a craving, considering it didn't have much in the way of calories.

"Take care," she added, before turning back to focus on the lab data.

Once Mamie left, the lab descended into complete silence, and Roseanne could hardly tell how the time passed.

By the time she snapped back to reality, it was already dark outside.

After shutting down the equipment and tidying up the lab's common area, she took out the trash on her way out.

Roseanne hopped into her car, smoothly started the engine, and released the handbrake.

The car glided onto the road.

As she approached an intersection, Roseanne glanced at the GPS and turned right.

The street trees had lost all their leaves, leaving bare branches that whispered the area's isolation and age under the yellow streetlights.

Unhurriedly, Roseanne signaled right and moved to the far-right lane. Once she was cruising steadily, she casually turned on some music.

The soft tunes flowed like a gentle stream, bringing an inexplicable sense of relaxation.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Corley.

"Are you busy?"

His voice was deep and carried a hint of a smile.
