Khloe had recently returned to the country. She had informed Ethan in advance. The people from Lacuna were still watching from the shadows, and she suspected there might still be operatives in Goldmont City.
Although they likely wouldn't dare to act openly within the country, the Morrison Group was vast—any small move could cause significant disruption. Moreover, Winnie had just secured a major patent recently, making this a highly sensitive period.
…
The person who was called finally stopped, though she did not look particularly willing.
Only after the front desk called out several more times did she finally turn back and complete the registration.
While filling in her information, the receptionist followed procedure and asked, "What are you here for?"
"Interview," the woman replied in a low voice.
"Interview… then why are you dressed like that?" the receptionist couldn't help asking again.
Only when she leaned in slightly did she realize the visitor was actually a woman.
A black bucket hat, a face mask covering most of her features, a black trench coat, black trousers, and even gloves on her hands. The weather had already warmed recently. Being wrapped head-to-toe like that made her gender almost unrecognizable—and far too conspicuous.
"Freedom of dress. Is that any of your business?"
Suddenly, the woman looked up sharply and slammed the pen down onto the counter.
The receptionist flinched. The chilling gaze behind those eyes made her shudder, and for a moment she forgot how to respond.
By the time she came to her senses and picked up the registration form, the woman was already gone.
At the same time, Winnie and Ethan had just finished a meeting.
The new technology would significantly enhance the effectiveness of many drugs while also reducing production costs.
Going forward, Winnie would establish several R&D teams to handle frontline development work. This would also ease pressure on Ethan's side—at least in the short term, no matter what moves Lacuna made, they would not be able to damage the Morrison Group's interests.
As Winnie stepped out of the conference room, she happened to see Charlotte. Charlotte was just about to go in for another meeting with Ethan.
