Blair was speechless for a moment. Elizabeth glanced at Blair, paused for a couple of seconds, and then said, “If you impress me, I’ll let you start your research in three months.”

Blair was taken aback. “Elizabeth, I might not even be here for three months.”

“That would be ideal,” Elizabeth replied with a smile, turning back to her work.

Blair was floored by that comment. She thought, What does Elizabeth mean by that? Does she think I can’t last three months?

“Elizabeth, we’ll see about that!” Blair shouted at her retreating figure.

Elizabeth smirked, thinking Blair was being childish.

Luckily, there was too much work for Blair to cause any trouble. Elizabeth noticed Blair was pretty serious when she worked. The archive room was a mess, but Blair managed to organize it in just one afternoon.

Elizabeth was shocked when she went to look for something. Blair looked up at her and snorted, as if to say: You’ve hit the jackpot with my skills!

It was the first time Elizabeth really looked at Blair that day. She had assumed Blair would hide in the archive room and slack off on her phone, but Blair actually worked.

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and left with the files. Blair snorted and kept working.

At 6:30 PM, Elizabeth clocked out. Blair walked by on the phone, saying, “I’m so tired. This job sucks, especially that Elizabeth.” It was like she said it on purpose for Elizabeth to hear.

“But it’s okay, Sheldon is taking me out for dinner later!” she suddenly laughed, waving at a black business car outside.

The car door opened, and Sheldon stepped out. Blair called out, “Sheldon.” Sheldon smiled at her.

Blair said, “I could’ve gone by myself; you didn’t need to pick me up.”

“No problem, it was on the way,” he said.

Blair paused and thought, “What did that mean?”

Before she could ask, she saw Sheldon waving very attentively. “Elizabeth.” Blair’s face soured. She saw Elizabeth coming out too.

So, Sheldon was here to pick up Elizabeth. Picking up Blair was just a side task. Blair’s face turned grim, and she gave Sheldon a resentful look. “You like me less and less.”

“Not at all. I like you a lot!” Sheldon ruffled Blair’s hair, doting on her.

Elizabeth said to Sheldon, “Sheldon, I can go by myself. How could I trouble you?”

“No way, it’s already enough trouble for you to have Blair here. Picking you up for dinner is nothing,” Sheldon said, glancing at Blair.

Blair pouted.

“Oh, she did quite well,” Elizabeth praised truthfully. After all, Blair had organized the archive room neatly all day.

Blair glared at Elizabeth. Elizabeth hadn’t praised Blair once today, but now she was praising her in front of Sheldon.

Blair got into the car directly. Sheldon gestured for Elizabeth to get in. Elizabeth nodded. Before getting in, she looked around.

After a while, Elizabeth smiled bitterly, thinking, Alexander was just talking. How could he really come to pick me up from work.
