High & Haughty

When the door to Researcher Yang's lab finally opened, two assistants appeared. The first was a man, and the second was a woman. Neither of them looked particularly pleased at how late Anji was. 

"Do you know what time it is?" snapped the woman with arms folded in front of her chest, glaring at Anji, who had her head bowed immediately.

Before Anji could explain her situation or apologise, the man clicked his tongue, emphasising their annoyance. However, he did not scold Anji. Instead, pulled the woman towards him and stared at the small child.

"You know why you're here, right?" he asked Anji.

It was likely a rhetorical question because Anji was cut off before she could reply. However, after lifting her head, the state of the inner court shocked her.

Pointing at the utter mess that was Researcher Yang's quarters, the man smirked at Anji.
