When Alfons finally left, Gabi went to the patio and silently ate her food with Aden.
"I'm sorry you have to see that."
Aden just nodded. They just finished their dinner and are now enjoying so wine on the patio with the view of the full moon. Earlier, the two ate without saying anything to each other.
"Ah, it's fine," Aden said. He, too, had his own family issues. In his case, it wasn't because soone in his family was scheming. It was because everyone is just too smart. One wrong word and the entire family would know your secrets. His mother looked casual, but she understood everything about him. aning, scheming around her is just not the best option. "This wine is from Plaria?"
"Yes, my father bought it."
"It's an expensive one. I believe they only made a hundred bottles with this version. And you actually opened it tonight?" He was languidly sitting next to her.
"Wines are ant to be open."
"True."
Gabi nodded. Her gaze was on the tree that looked beautiful under the moon. A sigh escaped her lips. Who would have thought that one day, she would choose to spend ti like this with a stranger? "If you still have things to do, you can leave. Thank you for joining ."
"You are weird."
"So are you," Gabi said. In fact, this whole thing was weird. She couldn't believe that she actually invited this man for dinner.
"After inviting for dinner, you are just going to kick out. Now I am thinking, you have so weird fetish."
"Huh?"
"Do you like watching handso guys eat?"
"" What? She turned towards him. She felt like laughing but getting angry at the sa ti. "Let's finish the wine. Since you cannot drive, I will let my driver "
"No need, one of my n will get ."
"Ah." Gabi nodded. Just as she suspected, Aden is soone trusted and valued by Archy. Perhaps he was really Archy's right-hand man.
"Hey, did you know that the footprints in the moon will stay there for the next hundred million years?" Aden said. Just like her, he was staring at the huge moon. "There was no air or anything that could affect it. So everything in that moon will be there for a long, long ti."
"Oh. I didn't know that."
"Every year, the moon is drifting away from our planet."
"Really?"
"Yeah about 3.8 cm." Aden lifted his hand and held it towards the moon. "After billions of years, the moon would go out of the Earth's gravitational field."
"You seem to know a lot of things about the moon."
"I read a lot."
"Really? You don't look like one."
"Heh. You are one judgntal woman. Just because I am good-looking doesn't an that I am dumb."
"" She doesn't know what to say. "Do you know a lot of the space too?"
"Let's see my knowledge is more in the field of science. I read a lot about space but I am more into dicinal science."
"Really? That sounds boring."
Aden turned toward her and chuckled. "Yeah it was boring, alright."
"If you love dicinal science then why are you working for Archy? Shouldn't you study dicine and beco a doctor or maybe a researcher instead?"
"I studied d."
"Yeah?"
"Though I never practice. I know how to dissect muscles and organs. Pretty useful."
"" Was he using this knowledge to torture people? How scary. "And you're not planning to beco a doctor?"
"Hmmm" Aden twirled the wineglass and smiled. "Nope. Helping people is not my forte."
"Oh, I know soone who loves to be a doctor." For the first ti tonight, Gabi had a gentle smile on her face. "He wanted to beco a doctor to heal his sickly mother."
"Sounds like the dream of a child."
"Yeah." It was her son's dream. A doctor. Soone that would save his mother.
"How about you? What are you studying right now? I heard you are pretty smart."
"I don't think I am smart enough."
"Whoa you are being humble. You finished college at a young age, right?"
"It was because I can morize a book. It has nothing to do with being smart."
"Really?"
"Yeah, acing the exam was easy. But applying that knowledge outside of the university is extrely hard."
"Ah, you need experience."
This ti, Gabi laughed. As soone who already lived a whole life, she had a lot of experience in life. "You are right. I need to experience certain things to survive. Anyway enough about . Why don't you tell more about dical science? Do you know which company is showing excellent results in their research?"
"Why are you asking?"
"Of course, I have to invest."
"Ah then just invest in Shen Group. Your money will be safe if you invest in that company."
"You sound confident."
"Of course, I am confident. I know their head researcher."
"Really?" Gabi smiled. "I heard they are trying to study nanotechnology right now? Is that true?"
"Yep."
"And do you think they will succeed?"
"Yep."
Gabi couldn't help but chuckle this ti. "Are you saying that because their head researcher is your friend?"
"No. Shen Group is made up of extrely smart people. With technology, I am confident that they are going to contribute a lot of things for the betternt of humans."
"" Why does this man sound like soone working for the Shen Group? "Nanotechnology. Do you think we could use it to create superhumans?"
"Hmmm Not sure."
"But it's possible, right?" Gabi asked before she turned silent. In the past life, Shen Group would have a big breakthrough about using nanotech to heal cellular level injuries and heal cancer. It was just one reason why they beca a superpower in this world, capable of ruining smaller countries.
"Probably?"
"Hey, do you think people with superpowers would exist one day?"
"Yes," Aden answered without batting an eyelid.
"That sounds good."
"Why are you asking questions like that?"
"I just know soone who likes superheroes."
"Ah" Aden stared at her side profile. "I think superheroes already exist in this world. We just don't know about them yet."
