Chasing the Unexpected

Kenneth stood in a hospital corridor, staring at the bill with worry. Hearing Lucia’s voice, he replied seriously, “Within the next few days.”

He was completely out of money. With Mabel in police custody, his only option was to follow Lucia’s plan to get the money for medical expenses.

“I’ll be waiting for your good news then, Lucia said, hanging up with a smirk.

Once Kenneth kidnapped Nyla, she would ensure both of them perished at the scene, leaving her free of worry.

In the lab.

Nyla was preparing to continue her experiment when she received a message from Genevieve, asking her to come to her office.

When she arrived, Genevieve greeted her with a smile. “Nyla, how was the business trip to Rontana with Mr. Sumner?”

Nyla pursed her lips. “It was fi

Is there something you need?”

“Headquarters is very interested in the project you’re working on. Since it’s funded by Prospectus Technology, they’ve decided to have you work there for a while to avoid Mr. Sumner having to constantly travel back and forth to check on the progress.

Nyla was taken aback, frowning slightly. “How long will it be? And does Prospectus Technology have a lab?”

Genevieve smiled. “I’m not sure about the exact duration, but likely until the project progresses

significantly. As for the lab, Prospectus Technology bought a building next to their headquarters last year and converted it into a lab, so it’s ready for use.”

If the project’s progress was the measure, it could take at least a year or two. Drug development involved both pharmacological and clinical trials, with the former alone possibly taking years.

Seeing Nyla’s reluctance, Genevieve added, “You’ll get a daily travel allowance of 30 dollars.”

A daily allowance of 30 dollars meant an extra 600 dollars a month, a tempting offer for Nyla. Instantly, her reluctance disappeared.

“Genevieve, when do I start?” she asked.

Genevieve couldn’t help but laugh. “If possible, it would be best if you start tomorrow. You can wrap up your current experiment today and head to Prospectus Technology tomorrow to meet Mr. Hogg.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Nyla was surprised by the urgency but figured that starting sooner would mean receiving the travel allowance sooner, which was a good thing.

“Alright, Genevieve. I’ll finish up my work today and organize my materials,” Nyla said.

“Good. If you have any problems at Prospectus Technology, feel free to contact me.

Returning to the lab, Nyla packed up her equipment and headed back to her desk. The day passed quickly. After gathering her materials and personal belongings, she turned off her computer and informed Sasha about her transfer to Prospectus Technology.

Sasha was initially stunned but then her eyes widened. “You’re switching jobs?”

Her voice was loud enough to catch the attention of everyone nearby, including Lucia.

Nyla shook her head. “No, the company is sending me to Prospectus Technology to complete this project before coming back.”

Since other colleagues had been sent to other companies for projects before, Sasha wasn’t too surprised. “I see. I heard Prospectus Technology has many handsome and wealthy single men. If you meet any, remember to introduce me. My family’s been nagging me about marriage nonstop,” Sasha said.

Nyla laughed, not expecting that to be her concern. “Sure. If I find anyone suitable, I’ll let you know.”
