Chapter 84: The Experiment Was Destroyed
Editor: Henyee Translations
This was her work from working overtime last night’ until past 8 PM. This matter instantly aroused the sadness and anger in her heart.
The laboratory was quiet. Everyone was secretly observing Anita’s reaction.
Anita calmly tidied up the mess on the table and said, "Who touched my experiment data in the morning?"
No one in the laboratory responded to her words. Everyone was extremely quiet.
"Let me ask you all one last time. Who touched the experimental data? if no one admits it, I’ll look for my mentor to see the surveillance footage later," Anita said sternly.
As soon as she said this, someone in the laboratory started to mumble, "What’s there to pretend for? Isn’t it just because you’re the teacher’s pet?"
Someone even said, "I wonder what she’s so good at. Her degree is inferior to ours and her experimental experience is inferior to ours."
Anita listened without saying anything and just let them talk.
"What are you guys talking about? Doesn’t Anita usually take care of us a lot?" The boy from yesterday finally couldn’t listen to everyone anymore, and he said with a flushed face.
"What’s wrong? You can’t stand to listen anymore? Have you forgotten that you applied for the Columbia University exchange program too? You didn’t get chosen, but someone else did. Don’t you feel bad?" a man said sarcastically.
It would be a lie to say that he was not upset. He had worked hard for so many years to obtain his mentor’s approval. He thought that he was better than Anita, but since Anita had been chosen and not him, she must have her own outstanding qualities.
However, he wasn’t eloquent. He stuttered for a long time and did not say anything.
Anita looked at the boy whose face was flushed and finally couldn’t help but say, "If you people feel indignant about me joining this project, then go and tell our mentor."
"And if you guys think that I have an improper relationship with my mentor, go ahead and report it. Let the school investigate. Don’t talk about others behind their backs. You’re also students who have been carefully selected to join the mentor program. Don’t you feel that it’s very embarrassing?"
"Yes, we’re not outstanding. You’re the most outstanding," another person said.
Anita sneered when she heard this. "If you have the time to slander others behind their backs, why don’t you complete your project better and let your mentor see you in a different light?"
This sentence was a little harsh. These few days, since they found out that Anita had joined the exchange program, they had indeed spared no effort in slandering her. They even felt that the mentor they chose had no taste, so their experiment progress had been lowered.
After Anita finished speaking, no one replied.
Seeing that the laboratory was finally quiet, Anita took a deep breath and turned to her deskmate. "Senior, you were the one who destroyed my experimental data, right? I won’t hold it against you this time, but don’t do experiments with me from now on. I hate being partners with villains." freewebnσvel.cøm
These words were too direct. The senior’s face flushed instantly. He tried hard to maintain his composure and said, "Who would be willing to be your partner? You relied on our mentor to climb up the ranks. Let’s see how long you can be arrogant for."
"There’s no need for you to worry, Senior. You should take care of yourself first," Anita said while looking at him coldly.
After saying that, the senior packed his things and left.
After he left, Anita quickly packed up her laboratory table. But she didn’t expect the boy, who had been helping her out, to come over with his things. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"Anita, can I partner with you?" the boy said softly while looking at Anita.
Anita glanced at the boy but said nothing. She smiled and then gave him a part of her desk.
The boy looked at the empty table and knew what she meant. He quickly walked two steps and placed his things on the table.
"Hi, I’m Jack. I’m glad to be your partner," the boy said with a smile as he reached out to Anita.
"Hi, I’m Anita, but I have to tell you beforehand that this is not a good time to be my partner," Anita said while glancing at Jack.
"It’s okay. I think you’re great. I believe you’re not what they say." Jack didn’t take his hand back. He still smiled at Anita.
Anita smiled helplessly when she saw Jack’s insistence. "Okay, then I’m very happy to be your partner. I hope we work well together." She reached out and shook Jack’s hand.
