Chapter 240
Kaleb stiffened, his eyes growing dark. Giana knew that he was an intelligent man, and this explanation was already very clear.
“I finished work, bye.” Giana waved her hand and turned around, walkingway with big steps.
Kaleb clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and turned around to continue walking inside. The door of the 6th laboratory was open. Kaleb knocked on the door panel and stood at the entrance, looking inside.
I said softly, “Giana, you can go off work first; they probably still need some time.”
Kaleb saw a cage inside the glass, where a male monkey was riding a female monkey to reproduce offspring He hesitated, unsure whether to retreat or to advance.
“Katrina,” he greeted.
Hearing the sound, my heart jumped out. Looking back at the door, I saw Kaleb and, even through the mask, I could feel my cheeks turning red with heat. I hurriedly got up and walked to Kaleb, pushing him to go outside.“You wait for me outside for a while; they will be here soon.”
“Okay,” Kaleb complied with my push and took a few steps back.
I dared not look at him and entered the laboratory, closing the door. I exhaled against the door panel. Oh my God, I had done so many experiments; what haven’t I seen? Why did I feel so embarrassed when I encountered Kaleb in this particular situation? I calmed my heart rate and returned to my work position.
Kaleb sat on the long bench outside the laboratory, waiting. Half an hour later, I took off my work uniform, removed my mask, turned off the lights, and left the laboratory with my bag on my back. I walked out, and Kaleb put his phone in his pocket and stood up.
“Sorry for making you wait for so long,” I said, feeling slightly embarrassed and still a bit shy.
Kaleb slipped his hand into his pocket, “Luckily, I didn’t have to wait for long, but compared to their duration, it was quite enduring.”
Kaleb spoke the truth, but when it reached my ears, it was both awkward and embarrassing, with a hint of shyness. “No, they weren’t that long–lasting. I needed to collect experimental data, so I had to wait for the male monkeys…” I couldn’t continue speaking; my restless gaze shifted towards the laboratory door. I mustered up the courage to continue, “After it’s done, I will conduct a series of examinations on the female monkey to ensure the accuracy of the data.”
