Chapter: 517
Norah wasn't too bothered by the encounter. She went into the lab, silenced her phone, donned a white lab coat, and got down to making medicine. Her main goal for the day was to create a Rejuvenation Powder and Mind Clearing Pills.
By the time she felt weary, it was already six in the evening, and her stomach, which she hadn't fed, started to complain. She tidied up her work from the afternoon, carefully packing the results into her bag.
As Norah opened the door, she wasn't surprised to find Shelton and his assistant waiting outside.
“Supernatural Doctor, you're finally here." Shelton came forward, relieved that his wait paid off since Supernatural Doctor emerged.
“Let's go somewhere to talk." Norah's voice was soft, slightly muffled by the mask.
Shelton led the way, saying, “Come with me, Supernatural Doctor. I've already prepared my office for your visit." Who would've guessed the woman following him was the world-famous Supernatural Doctor?
Soon, they reached Shelton's office.
“If there's anything you're unsure about, now's the time to ask,"
Norah instructed.
She took a seat on the couch and started to text Sean. “I'll be back in an hour."
Sean's reply was curt. “Got it."
Norah frowned. It was such a brief response. What was Sean up to?
“Supernatural Doctor, have a look at this. I've put together some questions about the project from yesterday. I'd appreciate your insights."
Norah tucked her phone away and accepted the folder Shelton offered, quickly flipping through it.
"Alright, I see where your team is hitting a wall. If you look here..."
She pinpointed the problems in the document and shared her sharp observations.
Shelton and his assistant were ready, making sure to record her advice on their phones as they listened.
The problems weren't complicated, and Norah cracked them in just ten minutes.
"Done answering you. I'm off now." Brief and to the point, Norah placed the papers back on the desk, got up, and headed for the door.
Shelton gave his assistant a look, and the assistant promptly presented a new stack of documents, effectively blocking Norah's way.
“The research institute has been plagued by these problems for years, but we haven't fixed anything yet. It's tough finding talented people like you, and even when we do, they're hard to get. It's been a rough few years for the research institute," Shelton stated emotionally.
His assistant chimed in, "Mr. Davis, you've put your heart into this.
While you've been toiling away, our researchers haven't lived up to your efforts."
Their act was quite theatrical, each playing their part, and Norah saw right through their charade. She began to frown.
