SWNOVELS Chapter 70
Gerard Lichman raised his eyebrows. “In
any case, I was the one who overstepped i
In the first place. Ms. Nicole, if you’d like,
you can come with me to meet our core
research team. Not everyone will have the
opportunity to see it.”
Nicole agreed without a second thought.
After all, if she knew about the latest
research technology of J&L Corporation,
she could grasp the market first and
would get a better grasp on the
development of artificial intelligence in
the future.
Once the three of them walked out,
Gerard turned to Logan and said, “Mr.
Logan, I’m afraid you don’t have access t
o the lab because it has our company’s
secrets. Don’t worry, I will ensure that Ms.
Nicole gets back safely.”
Logan looked at Nicole hesitantly. Nicole
understood Gerard’s concern, so she
nodded at Logan and said, “You can go
back first. I’ll be fine.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Nicole and Gerard got into Gerard’s car.
They sat in the back with the curtains
closed, so they could not see what was
going on outside. Nicole thought to
herself, ‘Gerard Lichman is that cautious,
huh? I’m looking forward to this visit even
more now...’
“Mr. Logan used to be Grant Stanton’s
right-hand man but he now works for you.
It looks like Mr. Stanton really values you.
No wonder you decisively refused the
idea of remarriage when I mentioned it
earlier. With such a good backer, who will repeat the same mistake?”
Gerard pushed up his gold-rimmed
glasses and spoke with a smile.
Nicole paused and replied in a clear and
cold voice, “Mr. Stanton values me
because he has a good eye.”
Gerard raised his eyebrows. It seems like Nicole won’t give Eric the time of day no matter what he does...’ After twenty minutes,
their car drove into an underground garage. As soon as they got out of the car, the surrounding lights were as bright as day. The
building had a uniform shade of Morandi gray, which was hard to distinguish. Perhaps it was designed as such to be discreet.
Gerard took Nicole to the elevator. He
reached out to scan his fingerprints on the screen in front of him. After three times of recognition, the elevator door
finally opened. Gerard extended his hand.
“After you, Ms. Nicole.”
Nicole was vaguely surprised and
impressed. She went into the elevator
and only saw one button to the 17th floor
with no other options.
“Don’t I need to be blindfolded?” Nicole
joked.
Gerard laughed. “Nah, you won’t be ablet
o take away any core secrets, so it’s fine
for you to see it.”
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and had a
n expectant look in her eyes.
Once they walked out of the elevator,
Nicole saw a hallway filled with silver-
gray glass. Almost all the walls were
made of translucent material, but it was impossible to see through any of the walls even on closer inspection. It felt like a top-
secret lab. Gerard took her into a closed, empty room. He just walked to the opposite side
of the room and placed his hand on the
glass wall. Suddenly, some curved thin
lines with some sort of data appeared on
the glass. Gerard stood in place and
aligned his pupils with a spot on the
glass. After the iris recognition, the wall in
front of him parted
Nicole followed behind and saw another
long gray glass corridor. If no one led the
way, it would be like walking in a maze.
Soon, Gerard pushed open a door and
said, “This is it...”
When Nicole walked in, she saw a few
people inside wearing white lab coats
with their heads down working on
something. Someone was spinning with a
gyroscope-like tool, and someone else
was talking to a computer.
“Everyone got off work. The rest here are
all single...” Gerard laughed with a relaxed
expression.
Someone heard Gerard’s voice. A man
with curly hair looked up and retorted.”
Tsk tsk... Don’t insult single people like us
... We have feelings too! Oh, we have a
visitor?”
Nicole smiled and wanted to say hello
when she felt something rubbing her
shoes. She looked down and saw that it
was the little tiger again!
The little tiger looked at her and grinned.
The stripes on its forehead moved. “Hello,
pretty lady! We meet again! I like you very
much...”
