Thanks to Gongsun Ce's reminder, which provided ample time, he finally found the device he needed. With just five more seconds, he would be able to finish setting the parameters and start the video call with peace of mind...
Just at that moment, the door to the laboratory slammed open.
The owner of Cecil Laboratory, a woman named Dr. Reena Cecil, strode into the room with her usual neurotic tone, "What time is it now? You should have been done 5 minutes ago, don't waste my time!"
"You, go out and wait—"
Mo Yuankai hastily covered his phone.
However, not being skilled at lying, he made a fatal mistake.
"Mo? You're in the bedroom, right?"
"Yes, I'm just changing clothes, I'll be ready in a moment—"
Somehow, Orianna's voice sounded three degrees colder.
"Mr. Mo Yuankai. Could you explain...
why you are meeting with a lady in your private room in such an unkempt state?"
For the first time, Mo Yuankai fully realized.
He was totally screwed.
