Jay walked around the laboratory. The laboratory required minor repairs around its edges. Some of the equipment would need replacing. A few other things could use repair. He'd probably have to buy a couple of new computers.
He also wanted to talk to Evelyn about the experiment she was conducting. Jay had been working for Evelyn for close to two years now, since they graduated college. Before that, she worked for her father at the pharmaceutical company. Her mother died when she was young, so she grew up without much family support.
Her father left when she was young too, then returned a while later. She never liked him, and her mother didn't either. After her father left, she lived with her aunt, who worked at the same company. In high school, she met Jay. Together, they majored in chemistry. After graduation, she joined his dad's company. That's how he ended up in this lab.
