"Hey, are you okay?" Cui Zhen'en handed over a towel, "Wipe yourself down, you're drenched in sweat."

"We had no choice, you looked like you were in a lot of pain," another colleague answered.
Zhang Zhiyuan recognized her as Ning Jing, the medic from the medical room. Agencies always kept a medic on hand for emergencies, though most of the time it was superfluous. He was seeing her in the office for the first time.
