“Did your boss tell you to ask me that?” Lily asked with a raised brow.
Mike said nothing momentarily before he replied, “You’re still wary of me even now, aren’t you?”
“Yes,” Lily answered unapologetically.
The things Mike did and what he kept from them in the past made it impossible for Lily to trust him completely. After all, it was hard to rebuild broken trust, especially not with a few words exchanged.
They were no longer friends, but Mike was not her enemy either.
“Is there anyone I know working in this lab?” Lily asked out of the blue.
Mike was stunned and pondered momentarily before answering, “A few people here have worked with you before. Why? Did you meet them?”
“It’s not them,” Lily said with determination as she shook her head.
There might be those people who Mike mentioned here, but Lily only had vague memories of them. Lily was not one to socialize much or put in the effort to build relationships with her colleagues, so she would not remember them much.
She would only remember those who she had a close relationship with. It only took her a glance at the man to find him familiar, which meant he was different from the rest.
Hence, Lily was sure he was someone she knew well and might even be someone she was close to. It was just that she could not pinpoint who he was for the time being.
After some silence, she suddenly said, “Turn around.”
