Walter could not stand the thought of being away from her, so even though he said yes to her going out, he still had a bodyguard stuck close to her side, did he not?

If that was really what was happening, Minnie could not decide if she was more upset or just plain annoyed.

She could not get mad at Walter for being so protective, but perhaps she was just annoyed with herself for being so oblivious. There she was, all grown up, and she did not even notice someone tailing her. Whatever the reason was, one thing was clear: This place was not safe anymore.

"Director, how's my mom doing?" Minnie asked.

Dressed in a pink uniform and sporting a mask, the director answered promptly, "Mrs. Lydia wasn't really hurt. She's been up and about for some time now." "That's a relief," said Minnie with a nod.

"Ms. Kast, missing your mom? How about I invite Mrs. Lydia over after we finish up here? Would you like that?"

Minnie jumped at the director's kind offer without a second thought. "That would be wonderful, thank you,

"Also, is there any way to make the treatment for my face last longer? My life's gone through some big changes, and coming in every month is getting tough."

She knew Walter all too well. He finally wanted to stick by her side, and she was not about to let that chance slip away. She had to work on becoming more important to him. Moreover, cutting down on her beauty salon visits would definitely lower the odds of Walter getting

suspicious.

The director's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Ms. Kast, how did you guess that we've been cooking up a brand-new material just for you?

"The experimental beauty treatment is still in the testing phase, but if it pans out, one session can keep you looking fresh for a solid six months." Minnie's interest was piqued at the thought of skipping her beauty salon visits for half a year

"Your scientists are really putting in the work," she noted.

However, the clinic director looked visibly worried.

"Sure, the treatment's tough enough, but we've only tried it on mice so far. We have no clue what it might do to human skin, she confessed. So, the miracle fix was a no-go for, then.

Minnie was not sweating it. She asked, "When's the next batch of data due? I'm all in for trying this stuff out as soon as it's a green light."

"I'll check in with the lab team on the timeline and get back to you with the fresh stats

"Just wondering, Ms. Kast: If the numbers look good, would you be up to be our first human test subject?" The director was treading lightly, knowing how precious a person's face was to them. Minnie scoffed at the idea. "You've lost your

not some nerve, thinking I would be your lab rat. Have wo

mind?

"Don't forget who got you this gig, your lab, your everything. He put you here to look out for me. You'd better stay sharp if you want to keep what you've got, got it?"

The director went white as a sheet. "My apologies, Ms. Kast."

Minnie dismissed her with a wave. "Save it. Just make sure you deliver on what I've asked. Do it right, and I'll make sure you're rewarded when I'm back. If you mess it up, well..."
