“I wouldn’t say she’s petty.


    It’s my duty to maintain some distance from other women to show mymitment,” Andrew replied, his voice steady with conviction.


    Madisyn found herself both amused and unexpectedly pleased by his response.


    As they exited the restaurant, she yfully brushed against his arm, only for Andrew to sidestep slightly, keeping his distance.


    “Shall we head to theb now?” he asked.


    “Of course,” Madisyn replied, her demeanor instantly turning professional at the mention of work.


    Theb was nestled in the quiet suburbs, far from prying eyes.


    Though the area seemed unassuming, the security was anything but, with guards patrolling both inside and out.


    The building itself looked like a simple residential block, but as they descended into the basement, it was like stepping into apletely different world.


    The basement was reinforced with bulletproof and st-resistant materials, a clear indication of the substantial resources Andrew had poured into this facility.


    The deeper they ventured, the more amazed Madisyn was at how sophisticated the facility was.


    Finally, they arrived at the office.


    As soon as Andrew stepped inside, the air shifted.


    The team, who had been deep in discussion, immediately rose to their feet and greeted respectfully, “Good evening, boss.”


    Madisyn’s eyes flickered towards Andrew curiously.


    In here, Andrew was apletely different man-a puzzle she was slowly piecing together.


    Each new detail she uncovered only made him more intriguing, more enigmatic.


    “Good evening, everyone.


    Please, take your seats,” Andrew said, his voice cold and authoritative.


    As chairs scraped against the floor, all eyes inevitably drifted towards the stranger beside him.


    “Allow me to introduce ourb’s newest member, Dr.


    Mia,” Andrew announced calmly.


    At the mention of Mia, a ripple of excitement coursed through the gathered scientists.


    Dr.


    Mia?


    Her reputation preceded her-a figure of almost mythic proportions in the medical world.novelbin


    Her surgeries, famous for their daunting difficulty, were the kind that even seasoned surgeons hesitated to attempt.


    Yet, she had seeded in operating them.


    But as the scientists took in the young woman standing before them, there was a collective pause.


    Mia looked so… ordinary, almost unassuming.


    “Hi, everyone,” Madisyn greeted, her voice casual, almost too casual for someone with her reputation.


    “Is this really Dr.


    Mia?” a voice questioned, tinged with doubt.


    “In the flesh,” Madisyn replied, her calmness unwavering.


    Herposed assurance left little room for skepticism.


    After all, if Andrew himself had brought her here, there could be no mistake.


    Soon, the hesitation evaporated, reced by enthusiastic apuse.
