Chapter 12

Damien's smile froze on his face.

As he was about to say something more, someone removed his hand from my shoulder.

A man I didn't recognize walked in, smiling warmly at me: "So you're Mr. Frost's teaching assistant? I've heard so much about you. I'm Zenith, your... senior colleague."

I recalled my mentor mentioning that Senior Zenith worked at an overseas lab and would be involved in this project as well.

"I've seen your experiments before and have been wanting to meet you. I believe with your help, this project will be even more perfect."

I nodded in acknowledgment, distancing myself from Damien and standing next to Zenith.

"Scarlett, stop being difficult. There are so many people watching."

Damien reached out his hand to me, but I avoided it.

"Oh please, Miss Everhart is still watching over there."

"Although our divorce papers aren't finalized yet, it's still not appropriate."

"You should stop flattering yourself."
