Chapter 255

“Do not mention him. He is not my father.” Nicole knew that the relationship between this father and son
pair was tense, but she did not expect it to be like this.

She did not say much but instead patted him on the shoulder. “Go, remember my coffee.”

Rowan nodded as he walked out of the room. A faint look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes as he
muttered to himself.

“He is not my father. I don’t have a father like him!”

The hands inside his coat pocket silently clenched as well.

Rowan calmed himself down, and when he recalled that person’s cold pair of eyes on him, his entire
person shuddered.

Someone walked past him, and seeing him standing there unmoving, the person hurriedly greeted him,
“Boss, why are you here?”

Rowan snapped back and simply replied that he was okay. He then looked at the person.” Aren’t you
supposed to extract copper thiol ATP enzyme at Sector D for me? Why are you here asking me what I’m
doing here?”

The person choked at the words. He did not expect that his boss would know which section he belonged
to and what he was studying from the one-two hundred people in this lab, so he could only laugh it off
and say, “Everyone is curious about that beauty that came in yesterday, I’m representing everyone from
Section D to have a gander at her.”



Everyone was surprised when Nicole glanced down for a moment yesterday and could not get a proper
look at what she looked like.

One had to understand that working day and night in the underground lab, the guys had not seen even a
female mosquito for a good while now.

And, as the lucky winner of the scissors, paper, stone game of the nine people left in Team D, he was
sent up by everyone enviously on a glorious mission to see the beauty. Yet, none of them expected
things to go badly, and not only did he not see the beauty, but he also ran into the demon-like Rowan
instead.

Rowan sneered as soon as he heard that, “She isn’t someone the likes of you can see. Get back now!”

Rowan did it out of kindness. After all, Nicole hated the most being watched by others. If she were to be
watched by these bunch of fools like a monkey, he was afraid that she might beat them senseless.

When that time comes, who will be doing the work? What he did not know was that after her time at the
Royal Creek Institute, Nicole was almost immune to all sorts of stares,

After all, she already knew how weak these people were and could snap their bones with just a touch.

The man would have been normally scared to death if Rowan were to bark at him like that, but to see the
beauty today, he appeared somewhat more courageous as he said, “Boss, the beauty is for everyone to
see. How can you keep her for yourself.”

Seeing how brazen he was, Rowan squinted and laughed instead, an arc forming in his deeply
contoured face. The man had never seen such a brilliant smile from Rowan before and immediately had
goosebumps.

“You want to see? Fine, she’s in the third room from the back. Go and have a look then.”



‘You really can’t stop someone who has a death wish.’ That thought appeared in his mind as Rowan
stirred the coffee in his hand.

He originally thought that by the time he got back to the ward, he would see Nicole beat the crap out of
his subordinate. Yet, when he got there, Nicole was just sitting there while his subordinate was asking
her questions with a feverish expression. After getting her answer, he immediately used the pen Rowan
had taken from him to jot down something. When Rowan saw this, his hand that was about to knock on
the door paused.

It was Nicole who caught a whiff of the faint coffee aroma. She looked at Rowan. The coldness in her
eyes was abated, seemingly questioning him why he had not brought the coffee in yet.

Rowan shuddered, and when he walked in, he looked at the light in his subordinate’s eyes with a
puzzled look.

“This is the look of seeing a pretty woman, a look of taking in all of the beauty!”
