His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1363

Even if the woman did not stay up, it was still early for her to be here.

"Hold up, Professor Thompson. I have a quick question to ask." With that, Austin quickly turned around and went downstairs.

However, as soon as he reached the first floor, he realized that Thompson was alone. The woman seemed to have left.

"Austin, what's the matter?" Thompson asked with a smile, apparently waiting for him.

"It's just a little bump I've encountered during the experiment." Looking over his shoulder, Austin asked, "Professor Thompson, who was that woman just now? Is she also from our institute? Why is she here so early?"
