Chapter 129
Sebastian looked at Evelyn the moment Lucas arrived.
Noticing that she was unfazed and was focused on recording data on the military tech, he gave a satisfied smirk
He had always known that Evelyn was a woman with a strong will. Once she made up her mind, she could pull herself out of anything quickdy.
She had always been exceptional when it came to balancing her emotions.
However, Sebastian could not help but pay attention to Locas.
Lucas clearly knew that Evelyn was here too, but his gaze merely brushed past her with indifference.
His sight never once lingered on Evelyn.
To anyone watching, whether they knew about their history or not, it would seem that the two of them were strangers.
The distance and detachment he effortlessly displayed cut deep into one’s heart.
“Did he ever bring you a hot drink? Sebastian scoffed, turning to Evelyn. “Mr. Grant is quite a considerate man.”
Evelyn kept her eyes on her notebook, her hands scribbling furiously. “No,” she said flatly.
She was telling the truth. The doting boyfriend of someone else used to be her cold and indifferent husband.
He did not love her–that was all there was
Sebastian parted Evelyn’s shoulder proudly. “Evie is all grown up now. To celebrate the end of your delusions, dinner’s on me tonight.”
“Stop it.” Evelyn chucked.
Their interaction was relaxed, showing their close relationship
Jason could not help but look over multiple times. He then shifted his gaze to Lucas, who was still talking to Tittany quietly.
Lucas paid no attention to Evelyn and Sebastian, much less cared about how close the two of them were a
“Everyone, gather around. Let’s share our thoughts on what we’ve seen today,” Thomas called out to everyone.
The group began to move closer
Evelyn telt she had gained a lot today, which gave her some inspiration. This made her jot down her ideas while walking.
Sebastian caught a glimpse of her notes and was stunned. It would be a big deal if anyone were to get their hands on this.
Inude were all the crucial technical insights. Any major business would kill for a copy of her notes
Her mind was incredibly sharp to be able to expand on just basic ideas. It was no wonder Graham had been so bitter about her leaving all these years.
Flynn also noticed Evelyn’s actions. He whispered to everyone around, “Anyone who didn’t know would think she’s some expert, eager and curious to leam.”
Tittany glanced at Evelyn’s notebook and let out a silent laugh.
She understood what Flynn meant. Evelyn was simply putting on a show.
“Today was very insightful, but I’m even more curious about why the UNZ combat drone’s lead developer hasn’t been made known yet? Are they from the institute too? Could it be Professor Hül?” Flynn questioned after approaching.
Brandon and the others tumed to Thomas. They were curious about it too.
Lucas glanced subtly in Sebastian’s direction.
Sebastian, had already stated that he was not the lead developer of the US combat drone. Since then, no other news has been beard.
“Would be possible for me to meet them?” Tittany asked Thomas sincerely. “I’d like to exchange some insights with them ”
She would not reach the same brights even if she had another five years. Regardless, her request drew attention from everyone present
“Could you introduce us to them?” Brandon added
Although his father was in the military, he had never leaked a single detail to Brandon. This caused the latter to be clueless about any of this
Thomas uiled knowingly and answered, “I’m afraid that’s not possible for now.”
“Why?” Tittany frowned, puzzled
unchanged. She was as composed as ever.
Thomas gair a light cough and said, “Researchers like to keep their time to themselves. Maybe late will bring you together when the time comes.
The non–duclosure agreement had not expired yet.
“Maybe they wouldn’t ever want to many of you, sebatian said casually, speaking out Thomas” in
na joke, but it was the truth.
Who did they think they were? Evelyn had no need to deal with ti
Tillary’s expression darkened slightly She was caugla eff guard by this revelation.
The lead developer was putting on more airs thun Graham Hill himself. She had been able to meet Graham just fine, so why would they be any different?
Lucas would take care of it when she had the mood for it. Who would dare say no to him?
Tittany composed herself and asked no more.
––At this moment, she looked over at Lucas, and their gazes met. The lookthey shared was so intimate that it was almost tangible.
Evelyn stond right across from them. It was impossible not to notice, but she merely looked away, unaffected
The others did not find anything strange in Thomas” response, Geniuses like the Una lead developer were understandably aloof
“This is just one of the many exhibits. There are two more tech parks left to see. After that, we’ll have a briefing on our plans. It may give you all some insights,” Thomas continued before instructing the staff members to prepare the vehides.
The distance between the tech parks was far enough that they needed to drive over.
Sebastian and Thomas moved off to discuss some details, while Evelyn planned to wait in the car
Several cars from the tech park were already parked outside. She scanned the area and chose the nearest one.
Walking over, she opened the car, only to come face–to–face with the man seated inside.
Lucas stared at her. “Hold on for a moment. There’s someone here,” he said to no one in particular.
He was in the middle of a video conference on his laptop,
Evelyn understood immediately. He was probably discussing something confidential about Bluezen and did not want her to overheat.
She gave him a calm nod before turning to leave. She did not intend to share a car with him.
Before she could take a step, sounds of high heels approached. Tiffany appeared beside her and cast her a cool glance.
“Ms. Reed, cate to move aside? That seat’s mine,” she said, hertone gentle but proud
