Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 252:

Henrik hadn’t anticipated her strong stance. With a deep gaze and a touch of charm, he suggested, “Alright, how about I just drop you off and pick you up from the lab every day?”

Khloe rejected the idea once more. “You’re not available every single day, and it’d only add to my troubles.”

Refusing to give up, Henrik countered, “Then let me be your chauffeur for a month. It’s absurd that we’re engaged yet so busy we barely spend time together.”

Khloe checked her watch, realizing she really was running behind schedule. With a reluctant sigh, she agreed. “Fine. One month. That’s it.”

“Deal,” Henrik said with a satisfied grin, finally letting go of her hand as he watched her walk away.

Convincing her to let him drive her wasn’t easy. Henrik had only hoped for a week, so getting her to agree to a whole month felt like a win. Clearly, she still had a soft spot for him.

Henrik’s mood lifted, and an unusually warm smile crept onto his face.

From the front seat, Alan noticed Henrik’s rare smile in the rearview mirror and blinked in disbelief, wondering if he was seeing things.

Unbelievable!

Was this genuinely a warm smile coming from Henrik, the man renowned for his cold, ruthless demeanor?

And all of this was because of Khloe. In more than ten years of serving Henrik, Alan had never witnessed him so delighted over something as ordinary as giving a girl a ride.

Truly, love had a strange and surprising influence.

Khloe, accompanied by Gloria, stepped into the interview room, where a sharply dressed young woman greeted her with a displeased look. “The interview was scheduled for four, and you’re ten seconds late.”

The woman standing before Khloe had short hair that barely grazed her ears and a pretty face, her expression tinged with dissatisfaction. It was Charlotte. An academic genius from Zhecrora University, with countless companies and research labs eager to secure her skills. So why would she even consider interviewing at this newly founded lab?noveldrama

Khloe raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised as she looked at Charlotte. “I never imagined I’d see you here. A top student like you—why would you be interested in interviewing for my new lab?”

Charlotte’s frown deepened as she responded, “That’s a pointless question. I’m here because I see the potential in your lab. Trust me, I know exactly what I’m doing.”

Khloe was both amused and impressed by Charlotte’s directness. She appreciated the blunt honesty. With a soft chuckle, she replied, “Alright then, I’m curious to hear what potential you see in my lab.”

Charlotte crossed her arms and tilted her chin slightly, her voice firm. “First, being new means there’s room for growth and more opportunities. Established labs are bogged down by bureaucracy, making real breakthroughs harder. And secondly, you are no ordinary person. About that patient, Desiree Fowler—I had my mentor review her medical data.”

As Charlotte spoke on the subject, her eyes lit up with excitement, and her voice was full of enthusiasm. “The virus in her body has dropped to an incredibly low level. In no more than six months, she could be completely cured. It’s nothing short of a miracle!”

Khloe paused for a moment, taken aback, before smiling with relief. She could feel Charlotte’s passion and excitement, recognizing the deeper significance of what she was saying.

“So this is the reason you decided to come to my lab?” Khloe asked, her tone thoughtful.

Charlotte dropped her arms and fixed Khloe with a determined gaze. “That’s right. When I reviewed that patient’s data, it was like witnessing a breakthrough that could offer hope to countless others. I came to ZU and pursued this field with one clear purpose…”

She paused, her tone steady and confident. “I’m here to defeat cancer.”
