"Hello, Miss Shen. We're from the Biological Research Institute." The woman across from her extended a hand, her lips curved into a perfectly polite, fake smile. "We're sorry to disturb you."
Shen Lu wasn't quite sure what was going on, but out of politeness, she complied and shook the woman's hand.
"You were looking for me?"
"Yes. We'd like to ask you to come to the Institute, Miss Shen."
Shen Lu's mind immediately jumped to the pot of scallions in her backyard. 'Did someone let it slip? Do people from the Biological Research Institute know I managed to grow scallions?!'
But Shen Lu quickly dismissed the thought. Not many people knew she was growing them, and Lin Zhou didn't seem like the type to gossip.
'The people from the Biological Research Institute must be here for something else.'
'Don't tell me they found out I snuck a peek into that office the other day.'
'No, probably not.'
'If that were the case, they wouldn't be using words like "ask."'
