Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1073

Howard simply had no way of taking him directly to Serena's lab to interrupt her research.

Adrian knew absolutely nothing about this so-called neural data experiment, and frankly, found the data painfully boring.

But since he was bearing the title of an inspector, he had to go through the motions, absentmindedly following Howard on a tour of the island's facilities to check the boxes.

He endured the tedious charade until noon.

Just as Adrian's patience was wearing razor-thin.

Howard had suggested bringing him to the cafeteria for lunch.

Originally, Adrian felt utterly repulsed at the idea of eating in a crowded mess hall, much less sharing a meal with a bunch of random competitors.

But then a thought struck him, and he asked, "Is the cafeteria the only dining location on the island?"

Howard paused, then nodded. "Yes, we built it to be exceptionally large. It can hold two hundred people simultaneously. Even if every competitor dined at the same time, it wouldn't feel crowded."

Every competitor...

Adrian's dark eyes deepened with calculating intent.

He immediately stepped forward with his long legs. "Then let's take a look at this cafeteria."

It seemed...

Acting as her savior and bestowing a grand, magnificent favor upon her in front of an entire audience.

Would be infinitely more entertaining.

If Serena knew he had come to the island specifically to rescue her from her miserable lab and atrocious living conditions.

She would be so moved she'd throw herself into his arms right in front of everyone.

And the moment he stepped into the dining hall.

He spotted Serena almost instantly.

She was simply too conspicuous.

Especially amidst a crowd of competitors whose faces were dull and ash-covered from sheer exhaustion.

It only made her devastating, otherworldly beauty stand out even more.

She never wore makeup, and even her hair was casually pinned up with a stray pencil.

Yet her striking, high-contrast features possessed an aggressive, undeniable beauty.

Even while just looking down at her meal, the untouchable, aristocratic aura radiating from her was impossible to ignore.
