Wasn't It Her Turn?

Of course, she couldn't say that out loud. As for what the other party had done, that remained to be seen.

Ashley wasn't as curious as she had been before.

In the end, I granted her wish.

What reason do we need? Superman is definitely right.

Not long after, the person who had been summoned arrived at the office with cleaning supplies.

Ashley immediately went to meet her.

The frown that was just now has completely relaxed.

While arranging for people to clean up the scene, she took a cleaning cloth and carefully wiped the stains on the edge of the table, her movements much more efficient than before.

After wiping it once, she looked down and felt it wasn't clean enough, so she wiped it again carefully.

She couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will likely remain her office from now on...

Meanwhile, Annie, who was hiding in the back, felt a sudden tightness in her chest when she saw Lin Mo and the others finally preparing to leave.

After Ashley went in, she couldn't help but glance over there a few more times.

Upon closer inspection, she saw Lin Mo walking out, heading in the direction she was heading.

This was bad. Without much hesitation, Annie turned around and quietly pushed open the door next to her.

He went straight into the emergency exit, then carefully closed the door until it was completely shut.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief; thankfully, she hadn't been discovered.

Lin Mo and the others definitely took the elevator; if they walked up the stairs, they wouldn't run into each other.

As for how many floors this building actually has, that's a minor issue.

Anyway, she's not an ordinary person; climbing a few more flights of stairs won't tire her out much.

It's better to run away now.

She'd seen just too much today; she needed to find a place to calm down.

Moreover, her mother was waiting for her, having successfully made it into the Seven.

This is such a big event, we should go back and celebrate together.

Thinking of this, Annie glanced down at the stairs beneath her feet and quickened her pace.

In the corridor, Lin Mo's gaze casually swept towards the emergency exit.

He didn't say anything; if the girl wanted to leave, he let her go.

We can't exactly call her back and ask her again how the viewing went, can we?

That would be incredibly embarrassing, especially since she hadn't done anything wrong.

Joanna's thoughts, too, began to stir.

Robin was cured, Madelyn was dealt with, and Ashley even got a promotion, though it had nothing to do with her.

But does that mean we've almost finished dealing with these few things?

So... isn't it her turn now?

Thinking of this, Joanna tightened her grip on Lin Mo's hand slightly.

Her eyes kept darting around Lin Mo.

I've already started planning my next move; going out to have fun would certainly be a great idea.

However, if Lin Mo doesn't want to go out, he can simply accompany her back and get a good night's sleep.

She felt it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

As long as I don't make her spend time looking at those messy research materials anymore, it'll be fine.

She and Maeve have played countless games in the past two days.

If she stayed any longer, she would start to feel like she was there just to increase the number of people in that laboratory.

Unfortunately, Lin Mo was actually thinking about something else at the moment.

Madelyn finished dealing with her, but there was still one person left.

The Deep.

He almost forgot about this guy; he still needed to find an opportunity to ask him about Becca.

Ashley didn't know much.

All I know is that Becca used to be in charge of the Deep's official social media accounts, and then I heard she left the company.

As for why he left the company and where he went, nothing is clear.

Thinking about this, Lin Mo also felt a little uneasy.

No way, all the awful things Homelander did in the original story have come to this world?

Could it be that the Deep really did take over?

Of course, this is just a suspicion at the moment.

We can't just pin the blame on this guy because Becca once worked for the Deep. We need to find out the specifics.

Just then, the sound of A-Train came from the side.

"That..."

Lin Mo turned her head to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

The A-Train glanced at him, then at Joanna standing beside him, and spoke with noticeably more caution than usual.

"I still have some things to take care of."

"If there are no other plans..."

"Can I go back now?"

After saying that, he obediently waited for Lin Mo's reply.

What happened just now in the office.

He could still vividly recall it, and his heart still clenched. At this moment, he really wanted to leave this place first.

Even just finding a secluded spot to catch your breath would be helpful.

Lin Mo didn't think much of it; keeping the A-Train meant there was nothing else to do for the time being.

He's already said what he needed to say, so there's no need for him to do the rest.

"Go."

Lin Mo waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

The A-Train immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"OK."

"Then I'll be going now."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to Maeve and Joanna.

Then, quite consciously, he left first.

Joanna watched his retreating figure.

Suddenly, I felt something in my heart.

This guy actually knew what was good for him today.

That's good; they even know to find things to do.

That leaves only...

Her gaze slowly shifted and landed on Maeve.

Maeve was originally looking at the numbers above the elevator.

For some reason, I suddenly felt like there were eyes watching me from the side.

She turned her head and met Joanna's gaze.

"..."

Maeve glanced at her.

She glanced again at Lin Mo, who was being held tightly by her hand.

Take another look, and you'll see those eyes that are beginning to subtly convey a sense of urgency.

I understand.

This is because they think I'm in their way, especially when I was keeping them company while they waited or played games.

Why haven't I seen her looking at me like that?

Now that everything's done, am I just superfluous?

Maeve couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly.

Okay, okay, let's go.

Can't she just leave?

You two better not regret this later.

And Joanna, I want to drag her along next time and play games together until who knows how late.

It's not that easy.

"I also have some things to take care of."

Maeve casually said, "I'm not going down with you guys."

Joanna's lips almost immediately curled into a smile.

"Good."

She agreed immediately, without even a polite word or asking any questions.

Maeve looked at her, speechless for a moment.

Wow, they're too lazy to even pretend.

She waved to Lin Mo, then turned and walked towards another elevator.

Not long after, in the corridor where there were just a few people.

Only Lin Mo and Joanna remained.

This time, Joanna didn't need to go anywhere else.

He just stood there, head held high, staring straight at Lin Mo, without saying a word.

Lin Mo and she stared at each other for a moment.

Finally, I couldn't help but laugh first.

"Alright."

Don't look at me like that.

Joanna blinked.

I haven't said anything yet.

Do you even need to say it?

Lin Mo reached out and gently patted her head.

This girl's thoughts are practically written all over her face.

Forget it, let's put the Deep matter aside for now. Anyway, the shareholders' meeting is in a few days.

That guy will have to show up eventually. If anything comes up, we can ask him then.

As for Butcher...
