Lily followed Mike to the destination. She had known from the beginning where they were going, but she had assumed they would go in through the front entrance rather than the side. The car entered the place without causing any commotion.
Although it was just a side entrance, there were surveillance and infrared cameras at the top. From what she understood about her house’s security system, this place had tight security.
“This organization of yours is indeed something. They can even get into such a place,” Lily said, slightly surprised.
The corners of Mike’s lips moved, but he did not say anything. Soon, they arrived at the underground parking lot. Once the car was parked, Mike led her into an elevator, scanned his access card, and pressed the button for the top floor.
Lily noticed that there were only two buttons to press in this elevator, which were for the top floor and the underground parking, respectively. There were not any buttons for the floors in between, so they would not stop by there.
In fact, many people could not access the top floors without permission back at the research institute. At the time, she thought that the higher management used the floors for discussion on the project. In retrospect, it probably housed the mastermind of this project.
Even though Lily had never met this person, she suspected she had crossed paths with him. She even wondered if she had met him in the institute before and did not know it was him.
All this while, she had no idea about the mastermind's identity. Now that she was going to meet him suddenly, she felt slightly uneasy.
Standing in the elevator, she propped one hand on her waist by habit while stroking her belly with another hand. She took a deep breath, then breathed it out slowly. If anyone else were to see this sight, they would only think that a pregnant woman was out shopping. None of them would have expected that she was here to keep a dangerous appointment.
“You don’t need to be nervous.” Mike tilted slightly to the side and said lightly, “I promised Alexander that I’d take care of you.”
