Chapter 1801
Lily followed Mike to the destination. She had known from the beginning where they were going, but
she had assumed they would go in through the front entrance rather than the side. The car entered the
place without causing any commotion.
Although it was just a side entrance, there were surveillance and infrared cameras at the top. From
what she understood about her house's security system, this place had tight security.
"This organization of yours is indeed something. They can even get into such a place," Lily said, slightly
surprised.
The corners of Mike's lips moved, but he did not say anything. Soon, they arrived at the underground
parking lot. Once the car was parked, Mike led her into an elevator, scanned his access card, and
pressed the button for the top floor.
Lily noticed that there were only two buttons to press in this elevator, which were for the top floor and

would not stop by there.
In fact, many people could not access the top floors without permission back at the research institute.
At the time, she thought that the higher management used the floors for discussion on the project. In
retrospect, it probably housed the mastermind of this project.
Even though Lily had never met this person, she suspected she had crossed paths with him. She even
wondered if she had met him in the institute before and did not know it was him.
All this while, she had no idea about the mastermind's identity. Now that she was going to meet him
suddenly, she felt slightly uneasy.
Standing in the elevator, she propped one hand on her waist by habit while stroking her belly with
another hand. She took a deep breath, then breathed it out slowly. If anyone else were to see this sight,
they would only think that a pregnant woman was out shopping. None of them would have expected
that she was here to keep a dangerous appointment.
"You don't need to be nervous." Mike tilted slightly to the side and said lightly, "I promised Alexander
that I'd take care of you."
'Thanks." Lily just gave him a polite smile.
She did not take his words to heart. If Mike could protect her, he would not be threatened by the
mastermind in the first place. Frankly, he was in a dangerous state himself, so how could he protect
her?
However, there was no need for her to argue over this with him, so she responded in a perfunctory
manner.
Mike noticed her disapproval of his words. He just frowned and looked at the arrow pointing up on the
display and said nothing else.
As the elevator did not stop along the way, they arrived at the top floor soon after.
Ding!
The sign that they had reached their destination sounded, and the elevator doors opened. Light poured
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminto the square space, brightening up the elevator.
"Welcome!"
There was an ear-piercing, squeaky sound, which would make any of its listeners uncomfortable. Lily
frowned, trying to find the source of the sound, but to no avail.
After glancing around, she noticed that this was an extraordinarily huge office. To be exact, the entire
floor housed only one office, which was enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass. Since there were no curtains
to block the view, there was a lot of light in the room. That was why it was so bright when the elevator
doors opened earlier.
However, there was not a single person in sight in such a vast place that was well furnished. Only a
strange sound could be heard. Lily was perplexed and turned to look at Mike, but he appeared to be
accustomed to the scene as he strode toward the left side of the room before coming to a stop and
saying, "Sir, she's here.”
