Serena Everett entered the research facility unhindered, donned her lab coat, and swiftly walked into the laboratory with her mask on.
Dean Miller was video calling a young man, his face also masked, making it difficult to see his expression.
"Serena, you’re here!"
Upon seeing Serena, Dean Miller grew excited instantly, getting up to greet her while proudly introducing the young man in the video.
"Serena, this is my most outstanding student!"
eting her gaze, Bianca Everett felt an even stronger sense of familiarity, furrowing his brow slightly.
Strangely, he found himself having such odd feelings towards an unfamiliar girl.
Serena remained composed, nodding politely at him.
"Grandpa Miller, what’s wrong with the chip?"
Dean Miller’s face turned serious as soon as this was ntioned, "While researching, there was an error with the chip, causing it to malfunction and suffer damage."
Speaking, Dean Miller handed the inspection report to her, and Serena, after a quick glance, beca serious as well.
"The chip is severely damaged, and the only solution is to implent the SLT system..."
Before she could finish, Bianca on the other end of the video already knew what she intended and frowned even more, speaking out.
"I disagree. Your thod is too risky; if it fails, the chip will be completely ruined."
Hearing this, Dean Miller hesitated too, as a complete chip failure would waste all their efforts and lead to a failed chip developnt!
"I don’t need your approval to do my work."
The girl’s voice was cool and calm but exuded an undeniable aura of dominance and audacity.
Bianca was stunned, clearly not expecting such a strong presence from a young girl.
Dean Miller, firm in his decision, spoke with determination, "Serena, we’re counting on you this ti! Proceed, I trust you!"
"Grandpa Miller, rest assured, I will do my utmost."
With that, Serena walked in with her long, straight legs.
Bianca frowned even more disapprovingly, "Teacher, why are you following her folly?"
"Bianca, if Serena can’t solve the chip issue, then I’m afraid no one else can!"
Dean Miller spoke sincerely, as even Bianca, his most proud student, acknowledged as the finest among the young in the scientific community, wouldn’t be able to solve it if Serena couldn’t.
The teacher actually believes in her that much?
A hint of surprise flashed across Bianca’s deep-set eyes as he squinted slightly.
The teacher believes in her; hopefully, she won’t disappoint him...
Ti ticked by, and finally, three hours later, the laboratory door opened.
Serena stepped out slowly, visibly exhausted in her eyes.
"Serena..." Dean Miller approached imdiately.
"Grandpa Miller, rest easy now, the chip malfunction is resolved."
Upon hearing this, Dean Miller finally relaxed, "Great, great, thanks to you, Serena!"
"Grandpa Miller, the remaining tasks are yours, I’m going back to rest."
"Alright, alright!" Seeing her exhausted look, Dean Miller couldn’t help but feel distressed, agreeing readily, "Serena, you’ve worked hard today, go rest, and we’ll handle the rest!"
"Mm." Serena nodded, "Goodbye, Grandpa Miller."
Watching Serena leave, Dean Miller couldn’t help but proudly tell Bianca in the video, "Bianca, see? Serena is as excellent as I said! I knew she could solve the chip issue!"
Watching the girl’s departure, an appreciation flickered in Bianca’s dark eyes.
He never imagined she could actually do it!
"By the way, Bianca, when will you return to Imperia?" Dean Miller inquired, "You said you’d return soon, I’ve been waiting for you!"
"Teacher, I had booked my return to Imperia, but a priority experint arose unexpectedly, causing a delay." Bianca’s eyes showed a bit of helplessness, "However, this experint is wrapping up, I’ll return to Imperia soon."
His family had been nagging him to visit his younger sister, so once the experint ended, he’d return to Imperia imdiately.
Whether his little sister was as unrefined and not adorable as his older brothers said remained unknown...
Thinking of the sister he had never t, Bianca’s usually aloof gaze softened, but soon furrowed his brow in distress again.
Always reserved and not good at sweet-talking girls, he wondered how to get her to like him upon returning.
"Alright, Bianca, hurry back!" Dean Miller nodded happily, "Once you’re back, I’ll arrange for you and Serena to et, and together, your collaboration in the chip research will surely be successful!"
"Alright, teacher."
After ending the video call, Bianca removed his mask as he left the laboratory, his gaze deepening slightly.
After today’s events, that girl certainly piqued his interest.
But she was too arrogant; if left unchecked, she might not progress far in this path.
Bianca leisurely changed back into his regular clothes, rubbing his fingertips.
When he returned to Imperia, he’d need to temper her pride a bit...
...
As Serena walked out of the research facility, she saw the black Maybach still parked at the sa spot, surprise flickering in her eyes before a warmth surged within her heart.
He actually waited outside the research facility for so long...
"Little lady, get in the car."
Damian Quinn stepped out, taking the girl’s delicate hand and leading her into the car.
Serena looked up at him, "Didn’t I tell you to go back?"
"I’m happy to wait here for my young lady." Damian Quinn’s lips curved as he offered her favorite pastries, bringing them to her lips, "Hungry? Have a snack first."
Serena was indeed hungry, obediently taking a bite from his hand.
Gazing softly at her, Damian Quinn fed her the pastry while offering her favorite drink afterward.
The three-hour experint drained Serena’s energy, and after eating, she started to feel sleepy.
"My little lady is sleepy, isn’t she?" The man’s deep, magnetic voice sounded unhurried, a hint of seduction in it.
"Would you like to rest in your brother’s arms for a while?"
