The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1316

Manuel gave a nod, "But the person from T5 Research, Mirabella, isn't around." "Not around?" Ben raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised.

"Yeah, apparently, the virology team borrowed her, and she probably won't be back for a bit." Manuel didn't think much of it. In Riverdale, with its myriad research institutes, borrowing staff was just part of the norm.

Nodding, Ben remarked, "Quite the coincidence that she's not here."

"Hm?" Manuel didn't quite get what Ben was hinting at and shot him a curious look.

Ben shrugged it off with a smile, "It's nothing. Do we need to tweak the data again?"

"Yes, even though Mirabella's not here, her colleague put together a report that'll be coming our way soon." As Manuel spoke, he shed his protective coat. "Let's wrap it up for today. We'll have a meeting in my office later."

Ben stood there, lost in thought for a moment, before casting a final look at the lab equipment. He was the last to leave the lab.
