Chapter 571
Elizabeth drived like a total maniac, after all, she was a race car driver.
Alexander, on the other hand, was super cautious, always worried about outside influences. But he never strayed too far from her.
When they got to the research institute, Elizabeth hopped out of her car, gave Alexander a thumbs-up, then flipped it down with a smirk.
She was in a rare good mood, waved at Alexander, and strolled into the institute.
Alexander sat in his car, looking annoyed. He'd eaten so much of her exhaust on the way there. He let her win, but she really thought she had him beat.
But this little race told him something new about Elizabeth: she could really drive.
All these years, he thought she was just a goody-two-shoes.
He should have known better when he saw her flashy purple sports car. No regular girl would trick out her ride like that unless she knew her stuff.
Just then, Nolan texted Alexander: [Mr. Tudor, are you done? Kyle's at the office and wants to see you.]
Alexander raised an eyebrow and glanced at Elizabeth one more time.
Yeah, he was done.
Elizabeth clocked in at the research institute, still in high spirits. As she greeted everyone, someone mentioned, "Elizabeth, we've got a new person."
"Why so excited about a newbie? Is it a handsome boy? Or a beauty?" Elizabeth joked as she put on her badge and changed into her work clothes, ready to check out the newcomer.
A boy warned her, "Elizabeth, this one's tough. Better watch out. We've been getting chewed out all morning."
Then he scurried off.
Elizabeth paused, confused.
In the research institute, besides Elizabeth, only the group leaders and department heads had the authority to lecture people like that.
Who was this person, and why were they acting like this?
Elizabeth hurried over and saw a girl throwing a fit in the lab.
The girl looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven, pretty, with a pleasant voice. "Listen up, from now on, I'm in charge of all the rules and regulations here!"
Elizabeth frowned.
The girl continued, "When is your director coming? Does she think this place is her playground?"
Someone in the lab tried to sneak out to call Elizabeth. But as soon as they looked up, they saw her standing there.
"Call her and tell her if she doesn't show up in ten minutes, I'll dock all her year-end bonuses!" the woman snapped.
Elizabeth burst out laughing. "Wow, you're a big deal, huh?"
The woman turned to see Elizabeth.
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "Dock my year-end bonus?" She had invested in the institute. She didn't care about the year-end bonus.
This woman thought she could control Elizabeth with money.
"Who are you? And who sent you?" Elizabeth asked.
The woman lifted her chin. "Sheldon sent me."
Elizabeth blinked. She should've guessed.
If it wasn't Sheldon, how could she be so arrogant?
"What's your relationship with Sheldon?" Elizabeth asked.
