Naturally, the enigmatic Mia wouldn’t easily unveil her true identity.

Yet, despite the concealment, there was something oddly familiar about her.

“Please, have a seat, Dr.

Mia,” Andrew invited, gesturing toward the chair opposite him.

Madisyn, lost in her thoughts for a moment, blinked and then made her way over, gracefully lowering herself into the seat.

Her voice was calm when she said, “I didn’t expect the boss of the laboratory to be you, Mr.

Klein.”

Andrew’s eyebrows arched in mild surprise.

“You know me? I thought you were living a secluded life.” He leaned back slightly, studying Mia’s every movement with caution.

“Yes, I’m the one in charge of this lab.

I won’t lie-I created this lab for my grandfather.

His illness is progressing, and time isn’t on our side.

I need to develop a cure as soon as possible.”

“I see.” Madisyn nodded, a newfound respect glimmering in her eyes.

“Don’t worry.

I’ll do my best.”

Both Andrew and Corbett were Damari’s grandsons, yet while Corbett was consumed with his quest for power, Andrew was quietly fighting to save Damari.

Beneath Andrew’s cold and distant exterior, there was a deep well of loyalty and care, qualities she hadn’t fully appreciated before.

She couldn’t help but feel fortunate to have such a man by her side.

“Shall we order?” Andrew suggested, handing her the menu.

Madisyn scanned the options and chose a few dishes that caught her eye.

When Andrew glanced over her selections before passing the order to the waiter, a flicker of surprise crossed his face.

Was it just a coincidence? The dishes Mia had chosen were uncannily similar to Madisyn’s favorites.

As their meal was served, the conversation naturally shifted to their work at the laboratory.

Andrew listened intently, his initial wariness giving way to genuine admiration.

This woman’s expertise was undeniable, each word she spoke reinforcing his belief that she was indeed the real Mia-after all, such knowledge and insight could only come from true experience.

“Mr.

Klein, you’ve hardly touched your food.

Please, have some,”

Madisyn urged, gently placing a piece of meat on his plate.

Andrew glanced down at the meat and replied with a curt, “Thank you.”

Still, Madisyn couldn’t help but notice that Andrew hadn’t so much as touched the meat she put on his plate.

As the dinner neared its end, she couldn’t resist needling him a little.

“Mr.

Klein, are you worried I might poison you?”

Andrew met her gaze, his expression calm but measured.

“If I were, I wouldn’t have come.

The truth is, I have a girlfriend.”

For a moment, Madisyn was caught off guard.

That was the last response she’d expected…

But seeing how serious Andrew was, she couldn’t help teasing, “Your girlfriend’s never going to know, right? Is it really necessary to be so… principled, Mr.

Klein?”

Andrew’s face softened, his tone earnest.

“She’s someone I love deeply.

It’s not about principles; it’s about respect.

I don’t want to do anything that might hurt her.”

Madisyn raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued.

“Most women wouldn’t be bothered by something like this, right? Isn’t that a bit… petty?”
