The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1246

Ben's face took on a more serious look as he mulled over the phone call he'd just had. After standing there quietly for a few minutes, he left the lab and headed over to the admin building to track down Wade.

In the office, Wade handed Ben a cup of warm water. "I've given your proposal a lot of thought, but I've decided not to be part of it."

Ben studied Wade, his handsome features clouded with thought. "Why not?"

Wade offered a diplomatic smile. "I'm just not really interested in researching human mutations."

"It's just about joining in on some drug trials and observations. It's not like you're diving into mutation research," Ben replied.

Ben really valued Wade's unique take on biochemical substances. But Wade was as stubborn as they come. Despite months of effort, Ben hadn’t managed to sway him.

Now, the medical research institute was in a phase where someone like Wade was exactly what they needed.

"I'm sorry," Wade politely declined again.

Ben twirled the black ring on his left index finger, paused for a moment, and said, "Alright, then. If you ever change your mind and want to join our project, just give me a shout."

Wade gave a slight nod.

Seeing this, Ben stood up. "I'll let you get back to it. I won't keep you any longer."

Wade had been curious about the project Zane and the others were working on, but he decided against asking. "Okay."

Ben gestured for Wade not to bother seeing him out and quickly exited the office. As soon as he stepped out, the smile he had worn faded into a frown.

He really is a tough nut to crack.

Ben's eyes narrowed, a cold glint in them as he walked towards the elevator. Just before he pressed the button, he heard a voice call out to him from behind.
