Chapter 39 First Day At The Institute

• The laboratory had a limited number of researchers it could accommodate. Rachel and the others were full-time employees, while Lauren White was an intern. She had been the only intern, and Amanda Moore had recognized her abilities, so she felt secure in her position.
• However, she never expected that another intern would be added, which meant that as long as this new person performed better than her, she was at risk of being replaced at any time. This challenge was extremely severe for her, and her sense of crisis was immediately triggered.
• Lauren White spent the night studying strategies and arrived the next day, ready to confront the new intern. Before 9 am, the office door was pushed open, and Joshua Walker walked in carrying several cups of coffee, cheerfully greeting Amanda Moore, "Good morning."
