Irina was right, she really had gone beyond his request. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to allow her to court him.
Ethan chuckled at the thought.
Yes, he'd get access to every single material he might ever need, no favors demanded or debts recorded. But that convenience came wrapped in iron chains. It would bind him to the underworld queen in ways far messier than their current deal did.
And Ethan Carter did not belong to anyone.
Besides, he'd be hurting Lillian and he didn't want that.
Putting on a pair of latex gloves, Ethan adjusted his lab glasses and walked towards the work area Irina had previously gotten set-up.
He had on a clean white lab coat, which reminded him of his times in labs in his past life.
The desk was already arranged with all the tools and materials he might need by Irina's bodyguards on her command so he didn't have to bother with it.
