"So you are Georgia?"
As soon as the call was connected, a girlish voice said.
That voice was clearly the one of a wilful character.
Georgia had never heard this voice before, and thought it was strange.
Subconsciously, Georgia found that this girl was probably looking for trouble.
Georgia answered cautiously.
"Hello, This is Georgia, what can I help you with?"
When Georgia finished, the girl on the other line laughed sarcastically.
"Miss Lane, how is your business working as a lady in the club? Do you need me to introduce some
clients for you?"
This voice was full of sarcasm, and Georgia's face turned cold immediately.
"If you have nothing important to say, I will hang up."
After Georgia finished speaking, she was about to hang up the phone but the voice in the phone
suddenly shouted angrily.
"Why are you hanging up? Don't you want to listen to me because I have said the truth? Don't you work
in a club?"
Georgia took a deep breath, and she replied to the person on the other side of the phone.
"Even if so, does it have anything to do with you? You are not my client. I am not obliged to answer you
or continue to talk to you."
After saying this, Georgia was just about to hang up, but the girl asked anxiously again.
"Why can't I say it, my name is Miranda, isn't your boss called Layla? That's my mother, so am I your
boss?"
The girl's voice was like a coquettish and willful lady, Georgia suddenly remembered the man Layla
saw last time.
During the conversation between Andrew and Layla, it was indeed said that they had a daughter.
Layla also said to Georgia that this daughter did not recognize her as a mother, and she gave up this
daughter too. At the moment, what did this lady named Miranda want?
She originally intended to hang up, but when she confirmed that it was Layla's daughter, Georgia asked
again.
"Miss Bradley, even if you are Layla's daughter, the two of us do not stand in the relationship of boss
and employee. If you only called me to humiliate me and you have been successful, goodbye."
After saying this, Georgia hung up.
She felt that she should call Layla and ask what was going on.
But before she called Layla, Miranda's call came in again.
Georgia looked at the ringing in silence, and she thought of the sadness when last time Layla
mentioned about her daughter.
After thinking about it, Georgia still took this call.
"Why did you hang up? I haven't finished yet!"
Miranda asked coquettishly on the phone.
Through several conversations, Georgia had already felt that this Miranda was a savage and willful
lady, such a person that was spoiled when she was growing up.
Not knowing what Miranda thought about Layla, Georgia asked.
"Miss Bradley, no one is obliged to listen to your humiliation. I have taken your phone again because I
think you are Layla's daughter after all. I should give you a bit of respect. You'd better make clear what
you want. If you don’t say it clearly, I will immediately hang up the call. I only count to one, two, three..."
Before she counted to three...
Miranda spoke anxiously on the phone.
"I heard my dad say, my mother personally asked him to do something in order to help you, and
promised to see me."
Georgia heard about this from Vanessa.
"Miss Bradley, Layla did ask your father to help this time, but I'm back now, and I don't know if I have
troubled your father. Are you talking to me because of this?"
After Georgia said this, the girl's voice on the other end of the phone sounded sad.
"How could I call you because of this matter? My mother and I can't even talk to each other now, just
because she asked my father to help you. She has not begged my father for more than ten years. It
was the first time that she asked my father for help. I thought, you must be an important person, at
least you are very important to her, but I have checked, you are just a lady who is working for her..."
The more Miranda said the more she felt wronged.
"Layla didn't even want to see me, her own daughter, but she was willing to ask my dad for help to find
you. My dad had to take advantage of the opportunity to beg her to see me again. Who are you? Why
is she so wholeheartedly to you, but it was so hard for me to even see her..."
The girl's question and pain came over at once, and Georgia's anger towards Miranda was slightly
lessened.
Layla didn't say exactly what happened to her and her daughter, only that Miranda probably didn't
recognize her as a mother, but now that she was listening to Miranda.
Obviously, Miranda longed for her mother.
Georgia asked tentatively.
"Miss Bradley, what I have heard from Layla is that you don’t want to recognize her as a mother, so
Layla has given up on you. I think she’s just afraid of seeing you be hurt. There are no parents in the
world who don't want to see their children."
As soon as Georgia said this, the girl on the other end of the phone burst into tears.
"When I was 18 years old, I begged my dad to ask my mother to come to see me, but she didn't, but
because she wanted to help you, she agreed to see me, in the end she didn't need the help, so she
refused to see me. Georgia, what is your charm? She can help you with all her heart and soul, I even
suspect that she had you as a daughter before she had me."
The jealousy and sadness in Miranda's tone were so obvious, Georgia was very helpless.
But from Miranda's words, Georgia knew better that Layla was really trying to treat her well.
If she really quit this job, she didn't know if it would hurt Layla, but there were some things that must be
clarified.
She was a pregnant woman, there was really no way to drink and laugh with the clients.
"Miss Bradley, maybe I have fate with Layla, in fact, Layla and I are not that close, neither is our
relationship deep... I listened to you, you like your mother, then you should explain the
misunderstanding between the two of you, I think Layla has a misunderstanding towards you. She
seems to think that you don't like her and even hate her."
As soon as Georgia finished speaking, Miranda choked up.
"That's just because I insulted her when I was a child. I was ignorant when I was a child. My father's ex
wife raised me since I was a child. She kept saying bad things about her in front of me, saying she was
a shameless prostitute. Anyway, she said a lot of bad things about her. As soon as I knew that my
mother was her, and knew that she was selling herself in places like whorehouse, I scolded her. Then,
she never saw me again and even denied me. I later learned that my father’s ex wife had been lying to
me, I feel guilty and want to talk to her, but she doesn't want to see me."
Miranda was crying all the time, and Georgia understood the knot between the two people.
She didn't know how to comfort Miranda, Miranda cried for a long time, and she suddenly begged
Georgia.
"I know that I have a bad temper. I just called you and wanted to speak politely, but I scolded you
without holding back. I'm sorry, Miss Lane."
Georgia thought that Miranda had this attitude towards her. So when she faced Layla, she might not be
able to control her temper either. No wonder Layla didn't want to see her.
"Miss Bradley, I am not familiar with you. I can easily forgive you. I don't care about the abusive words
you say to me, because I can forget... But Layla is your mother. She must have had expectations
towards you a lot. Maybe she was looking forward to see you, but you said something to hurt her. She
didn't want to see you, probably because she was afraid of being hurt again. Can you understand what
I mean?"
"The more you are familiar with someone, the more you are expecting from someone, his words will
hurt you more."
"I know... I know, so, Miss Lane, can you do me a favor? I want to meet my mother, and I want to
apologize to her..."
It turned out that Miranda's purpose was this, and Georgia suddenly pondered.
After thinking for a long time, she responded.
"Miss Bradley, I can't guarantee that I will be able to help you, but I can try, can you wait a few days? I
want to explore what Layla is thinking and see what she is feeling right now."
After Georgia said these words, Miranda's voice suddenly became very pleasantly surprised.
"Miss Lane, thank you, everything is in your hands."
The two people said a few more words before the phone was hung up.
Putting the phone back, Georgia continued to look at her research data. This time she was cultivating
fungi in vitro to study anti cancer structural compounds and to see its effect on lung cancer cell
proliferation and apoptosis.
After observing some data, Georgia walked to Aston's side.
"I don’t know if it’s my illusion. The anti cancer molecular drug for Akt signaling target seems to be very
effective. Should we report it to the professor? It used to be extracted taxol from taxus chinensis and
the separation of catharanthus roseus. The vincristine is used to extract lung cancer drugs. I think this
time it is cultured and extracted from this fungus. This direction should be right."
After Georgia finished speaking, Aston immediately went to Georgia's table to observe Georgia's recent
data and the current state of the experiment.
After studying for a while, he nodded to Georgia.
"My data is the same as yours. We will discuss it with the professor later. If this direction is correct, we
will study this direction with all we got, and maybe we will succeed in the study soon."
After the two spoke, Georgia and Aston decided to organize the data together and then write a
research report.
After being busy most of the morning, by the afternoon, the two had quickly sorted out the report.
Georgia and Aston went to Professor Lee's office together, Ernie and Simon happened to be there.
Professor Lee did not ask those two people to go out, but asked Georgia to open the PPT and
introduce the data to them.
Georgia stood in front of them and spoke about her latest findings and data.
First, Ernie had a slight contempt for Georgia, but watching Georgia speak out the data so well founded
and that they made significant progress, his gaze towards Georgia also became admiring.
But Simon was looking at Georgia with complicated eyes.
Since coming to work these days, Simon had rarely spoken to Georgia. He seemed to be ignoring this
person. Apart from the last time he couldn't help but speak a few sarcastic words, Simon completely
regarded Georgia as non existent.
"Ernie, do you think that Georgia's data report is worthy of studying deeply? I think this is the right
direction."
Ernie nodded.
"The direction is right. I will also ask some people from my group to study this. If we work together,
maybe our project will be successful soon."
After several people had finished discussing and talking, Simon suddenly spoke.
"Professor Percy Chow will come to D City to give a lecture soon, Professor Lee. If Percy knew
Georgia was on our team, what do you think he would think?"
