Chapter 2

Zara's eyes turned red and she started to apologize while crying.

"I'm sorry Elara, I know it would be embarrassing if you were caught leaking the experimental data, but you can't force me to lie."

"This data is the result of everyone's hard work. I really can't bear to see everyone's efforts go to waste because of your selfishness!"

Silas also protected her behind him and spoke.

"That's enough Elara! Aren't you just jealous that Zara, a newcomer, can lead a team to produce results in the lab, but you can't?"

"Zara is the person in charge of this project now. As for a parasite like you, why don't you get out of here?"

Am I a borer?

The laboratory has been established for four years. How many awards have I won based on my research results?

Even Silas' Young Innovator Award was half my achievement.

On the other hand, Zara has been in the laboratory for only three months, but has already caused more than ten troubles, big and small.

Even the rule against answering the phone during the experiment was added because she left her post to pick up takeout during the experiment.

But Zara was pulling Silas' arm and acting like a spoiled child, asking him to agree to hold a birthday party for her in the lab that night.

I suddenly remembered that Silas and I had planned to register our marriage on Valentine's Day, but after he received a call from Zara saying that she had a fever, he threw me on the side of the road without hesitation.

Love and not love have always been obvious.

Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Xavier was also surprised and spoke tentatively.

"Really? Then please consider me. You know, my mother likes you the most. She doesn't like any of the daughters-in-law I brought home over the years. If this continues, I will be single."

I rolled my eyes at him and signed my name on his Elara Laboratory invitation list.

"Shao Pin, I'm in a bad mood, go out with me for a drink."

Xavier took me to a bar.

But before I even entered the door, I heard the crowd booing.

"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"

I looked in the direction of the crowd and saw a man and a woman surrounded by a group of people, kissing each other passionately.

The man's back looks very much like Silas.

I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously dialed Silas's number.

The next second, the man frantically reached for his phone.

Then my screen lit up.

It was a text message from Silas.

"I'm doing an experiment. I'll tell you later."

The bar host's voice also sounded simultaneously.

"Congratulations to this couple for winning our fancy kissing contest tonight! The prize is a Hilton presidential suite card. Have a nice night!"

Zara jumped into Silas' arms happily, and Silas held her and spun around several times before taking the room card and leaving in a hurry.

The two were so excited that they didn't even notice me when they passed by me.

I watched them get into the same car, and Xavier next to me spoke with a worried look on his face.

"Elara, are you okay?"

"It's okay, but I'm afraid I can't drink tonight. I'll treat you another day."

I chased after him, flagged down a car and followed behind Silas's car.

I watched them walk into the hotel hand in hand and stay in the presidential suite on the top floor.

That night, the lights in the hotel room were on all night.

I also sat downstairs all night.

It was not until the next morning that I dialed the lawyer's number with a hoarse voice.

"Can you please tow away the car I drove for Silas before?"

"And all the supplementary cards I opened for Silas are frozen."

After doing all this, I returned home.

Took a hot shower, then turned off the phone and went to sleep.

I was woken up by Silas banging on the door.
