Chapter 372: Worst Case Scenario

When Dr. Butler led Keeley into her lab, everyone stopped and stared. "Listen up, everyone! This is Dr. Keeley Hale and she's going to be conducting her cystic fibrosis research here from now on. I want all of you to be welcoming and answer any questions she might have about how things work at DOMA," he said strictly.

She winced internally. Great. The way he had worded things totally made her seem like a VIP rather than a coworker.

Still, she managed to paste on a smile and wave. "Nice to meet you all. I look forward to working with you."

She received a bunch of murmured hellos in return. Dr. Butler disregarded this and pulled two of the people who had been loitering about in the room aside after barking orders at them to come over.

Turned out, money could buy friendliness. She should have known. Exactly how much did Aaron give this guy for her to receive such special treatment? Honestly, she was afraid to ask.
