The lights in the institute's laboratory were on all night.
Austin yawned at the crack of dawn as he removed his mask and washed his hands.He rubbed his worn-out, swollen eyes as he left
the lab.He had not stayed up for two nights straight in vain.
They were already at their final stage.
He did not think the problem was that serious.
Over the past two days, he had carefully pondered the issue at hand.
Since Lily could do it, why couldn't he? How was she any better than him? She was only a part of this project earlier than him and
had more experience than him.
Since she had more opportunities for practice, she would be further along than he.
He must have been too impatient these days to have overlooked this.
With this new point of view, he let himself get caught up in the project and worked long hours.He wanted to spend more time
narrowing the gap between him and Lily.He needed to achieve something.

If he failed to overthrow this woman, he would have to reevaluate himself.
Austin felt a tightness in his chest when he thought of how Dominic looked at him and the harsh words he said.
Austin knew he had to succeed.
No, he must be more successful than Lily.
Only then would he be proud.He stretched and shrugged his sore shoulders.
Although he didn't know much about raw materials, seeing how Lily succeeded without much knowledge of medicinal herbs meant
that the two had something in common.
That was his train of thought.
Lily was selfish and refused to give him the previous experimental data.
In the end, Austin had to look through all of the failed experiments in the lab and cto his own conclusions.
Then he thought of sandalwood.
Although common, it would be easiest for him to use it as a base to fuse with the medicinal herbs.
On top of that, he did not need to create a unique scent.He was not a perfumer, after all.
‘That's it!"
Austin felt quite proud of himself when he thought about this.
It meant he was as bright as her.
As he stood by the window and stared down, he was surprised to see other people here at this time.
Thompson was facing him and was talking to someone.
From the back, it seemed like the person was a woman.
Although there were women other than Lily in this research institute, what Austin found weird wasn't that there was a woman
around.
It was what she was doing here at this time.
‘Could that woman be Lily?!” Thinking of this, he immediately leaned forward and squinted to get a closer look.
However, judging from her figure, the individual did not seem quite like Lily.
Since Lily was pregnant, she would often wear casual and loose clothing.

Instead, this woman was wearing a long black dress with the waist cinched—clearly an effort to make her look extra slender.
At that moment, Thompson noticed Austin and raised his head before waving.
"Austin, you're up all night again!"
"I couldn't sleep, so | did sexperiments to pass the time," Austin replied smilingly.
"I thank you for your hard work!"
Thompson knew Austin was trying to compete with Lily.
For Thompson, friendly competition like this was a good thing.
Therefore, he did not call Austin out and instead encouraged him.
"You can do it."
The two exchanged a few more sentences, but the woman did not turn around. ebook She had no interest in seeing who was
behind her.
That piqued Austin's curiosity, and he wanted to see who she was.
Besides Lily, were there any other women who would work as hard and stay up as late as him?
"I thank you for your hard work!"
