Verruckt strode toward her, his presence overwhelming. His gaze, unreadable as stone, never left her.
“From this point forward, no one wears perfhere,” he declared.
From this point forward? That phrase hung in the air, heavy with unspoken implications. It meant she wasn’t
going to die just yet.
Allison's lips curled into a faint, almost reluctant smile as she nodded. “Okay, Mr. Shaw.”
The security team in black finally escorted Verruckt out, and the researchers, too intimidated to even glance at
Allison, returned to their workstations.
As he walked beside Verruckt, Jareth asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty, “Mr. Shaw, should we take care of

into her cup as though the storm around her didn’t exist.
The maintenance workers, having reconnected the pipe, turned their attention to the malfunctioning microwave.
One of them muttered, “That could've been a real mess. If two cans of coffee had been put in the microwave,
this whole room could've gone up in smoke.”
Allison feigned surprise. “Oh, con. The worst that would've happened is a ruined cooking station.”
