Chapter 299
Dr Wang
I shake her hand as the press takes pictures.
The flash of cameras, the murmur of reporters, the sterile smile I've perfected over years of public appearances—all of it is second nature. But beneath the professional exterior, my mind races.
It was too good to be true to deny the joint collaboration for research of suppressants with Daphne Han's company. She has access to the best facilities, the most advanced technology, and an unlimited budget. As a researcher, as a scientist, it was a deal I could not avoid.
She's taller than I expected. Most female Alphas are... diminished, somehow. Lesser. But not her. She stands with the kind of casual authority that comes from absolute certainty in one's own power. Her grip is firm, professional, and her eyes—
Her eyes never stop moving. Cataloging. Assessing. Missing nothing.
Dangerous, I think. This one is dangerous.
