Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1844

“Did your boss tell you to ask me that?” Lily asked with a raised brow.

Mike said nothing momentarily before he replied, “You’re still wary of me even now, aren’t you?”

“Yes,” Lily answered unapologetically.

The things Mike did and what he kept from them in the past made it impossible for Lily to trust him completely. After all, it was hard to rebuild broken trust, especially not with a few words exchanged.

They were no longer friends, but Mike was not her enemy either.

“Is there anyone I know working in this lab?” Lily asked out of the blue.

Mike was stunned and pondered momentarily before answering, “A few people here have worked with you before. Why? Did you meet them?”

“It’s not them,” Lily said with determination as she shook her head.

There might be those people who Mike mentioned here, but Lily only had vague memories of them. Lily was not one to socialize much or put in the effort to build relationships with her colleagues, so she would not remember them much.

She would only remember those who she had a close relationship with. It only took her a glance at the man to find him familiar, which meant he was different from the rest.

Hence, Lily was sure he was someone she knew well and might even be someone she was close to. It was just that she could not pinpoint who he was for the time being.

After some silence, she suddenly said, “Turn around.”

“Lily, it’s not entirely impossible for you to meet a friend here. Even if I’ve been part of this organization for a long time, I can tell you I haven’t learned about them completely. They’re too secretive and cunning.” Mike stopped and took a deep breath as he scanned their surroundings.

The two stood in an empty area, so it was easy to know if anyone was hiding at a glance.

When Mike ensured they were alone, he said in a lower voice, “But the boss should have all the secrets and key information about the organization.”

“Oh?” Lily raised her brow and gave him a direct response.

Mike was not bothered by her attitude and continued, “The organization had moved its headquarters twice, but I haven’t seen anything particularly protected during the move. There seemed to be no safes or computers either, so I think it might be something the boss carries around.”
