Chapter 140:

Late into the night, after Kellan had wrapped up the last of his paperwork, he noticed a soft glow still coming from the lab.

He didn’t need to guess who was burning the midnight oil.

It was always Allison.

“You’re working late again, Ms.

Clarke,” Kellan said as he pushed the door open and walked in, frowning instinctively.

Allison was focused entirely on her computer, but she looked tired.

She hadn’t slept well last night, and here she was working late again.

“Staying up too late isn’t good for your health.”

Allison didn’t even bother glancing up, recognizing him immediately by the sound of his voice.

She swiftly tucked away a small USB drive, then stretched and turned her gaze toward him.

“And what about you, Mr.

Lloyd? Seems like we’re both in the same boat, burning the candle at both ends.”

She lazily stretched, finally peeling her eyes away from the screen.

Kellan handed her a cappuccino.

“Don’t worry about me,” she replied, taking a long sip of the coffee without hesitation.
