The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1101

The assistant's thoughts were all over the place, leaving him a bit dazed. He'd only chatted with Alex, the Vice President, once, and from that call, he could tell Alex was pretty young, probably in his twenties. A senior pharmacist in his twenties? Now that's some serious talent. If the rest of the pharmacists in the association got wind of how brilliant the new Vice President was, it would surely cause a buzz. No wonder the President kept mum about the Honorary Vice President's prowess.

With a soft sigh, the assistant grabbed the medicine bottle and left the office. He made a beeline for the archive room to store the medicine safely. Just as he was stepping out, he ran into the Vice President. Noticing his spaced-out look, the Vice President asked, “You seem out of it. Did David give you a hard time?”

Snapping back to reality, the assistant smiled and shook his head, “Nah, nothing like that.”

The Vice President gave him a knowing look and casually asked, “So, what's David brewed up this time?”

The assistant hesitated but then shook his head, “No new concoctions. The President just wanted me to inventory the archives.”

“Oh, okay.” The Vice President didn't pry further.

He was about to head to the archive room himself when his phone buzzed. Checking the caller ID, he waved at Grant and hurried off, answering the call as he left. Watching him go, the assistant pondered for a moment before slipping back into the archive room to stash the medicine in a drawer.

Mirabella nodded, her eyes drifting to the remaining candy in her palm before tucking it into her pocket. Soon enough, the test kicked off.

Linden, Kason, and Jessie were all keyed up, laser-focused on their screens, terrified of making a mistake with the data. This was the department’s first big research project in ages, and they couldn't afford to mess it up. Mirabella, having already gone over their data models, wasn't worried in the slightest, knowing everything was solid.
