Chapter 839



.

At the sight of this very familiar figure, Royce was perplexed.

He looked at Nora in disbelief, wide-eyed.

Miss Nora?

Was it Miss Nora?

Compared to half a year ago, when she was in New York, she seemed to have lost some weight and had become more beautiful. If it weren’t for those familiar almond-shaped, lazy eyes as Nora walked the streets, Royce wouldn’t have recognized her.

But what was Miss Nora doing here?

Royce was a bit stunned.

As he stood there, the people behind him thought Nora had blocked his way. Someone immediately asked, “You are?”

Nora looked at Liam and yawned. He said lazily, “Lisa.”

Lisa?

Royce frowned.

It was clear that this was Miss Nora, why was she calling herself Lisa?

He looked at Nora in confusion, but saw that the woman was giving him a cold warning look.

galnσνels.c○m hosts fresh updates Royce: “…”

He didn’t quite understand what that look meant.

Royce respected Nora a lot. The president was not married and had no children. When he picked Nora up in the field back then, he had said that NTT would be taken over by Cherry in the future.

Who was Cherry, she was this woman’s daughter!

Besides, wasn’t she handing it over to Cherry because Miss Nora just slept all day and didn’t want to be involved in the business at all?

The president had no choice. She had just said she would turn the company over to Cherry, but she was actually giving it to her, covertly.

As he thought about Miss Nora’s intentions, the people behind him misunderstood him.

One of them said, “Are you Lisa, the person Professor Myer was talking about? Why are you here, where is Professor Myer?”

Nora looked toward the stairs. “He…might be a little busy?”

All: “…”

They all felt as if they had been tricked.

They had come to see his project as investors, but he was acting like a big shot. Did he really think he was a renowned professor? They would still have some patience with a professor like Wilson. After all, Wilson had done many projects in the past.

However, Wayne was really too unpopular!

Royce’s first subordinate said, “Since Professor Myer is so insincere, we’ll leave now! We don’t want to waste our time here.”

Nora: “?”

She raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when a bright, caring voice was heard. “Well… since Lisa is here, why don’t we listen to her for a moment?”

Following the voice, Nora then saw that her neighbor, Liam, was also on this team.

“…”

Nora held her forehead.

There were quite a few familiar faces today. However, Liam seemed to have received a promotion. It looked like it had made him move up a level.

When Liam finished speaking, everyone looked at Liam. Royce’s subordinate scolded him, “You’re just a newcomer to the department. What are you talking about? How can a college student explain a lab project? It’s beyond her capabilities.”

Liam was reprimanded and was too afraid to speak up.

On the other hand, Royce came to his senses when Liam was interrupted by the two. He glared at Nora and asked, “Let the student talk about …. erm… you want to talk about it…”.

He looked at Nora shyly.

Nora: “…I don’t know what the project is about”.

She wasn’t coming to work on a real project. Like Anti, she hadn’t done many projects in the past. Besides, it took a lot of time to work on a project.

At most, she would just check in.

When Royce heard this, he immediately understood and said, “Then you don’t have to say anything more!”.

As he said this, one of Royce’s men misunderstood him. “Yes, you don’t need to say anything more. It will be useless even if you do. We are not going to invest in your project! The project proposal is a disaster. There’s only the two of you…”

Royce: “…”

He really wanted to shut his subordinate’s mouth!

He was usually so good at flattering him. Why couldn’t he see that something was wrong?

He had finally come to his senses.

Miss Nora was hiding her identity by claiming to be Lisa! The warning look she had given him earlier was also to tell him not to talk nonsense. Otherwise, why would she be here if she could just expose her identity?

Royce understood.

Miss Nora was asking for an investment.

However, she couldn’t expose her identity, so he had to make her investment look fair on the surface!

But his own subordinate had undermined him – how could he continue to invest ‘fairly’?

As he pondered what to do, Liam said again, “Um…. Actually, there are only two people involved in the project. This kind of situation is easy to solve. Professor Myer was very famous at the school back then, but he’s fallen out of favor these past few years. As long as we invest, the number of people won’t be a problem.”

One of Royce’s men scoffed and replied, “It’s not a problem? I think it’s a big problem! Did he bribe you? What’s the difference between this and a scam? Besides, this project proposal is a complete disaster. Is there any need to invest?”.

Liam felt embarrassed. He clenched his jaw and looked at Nora again.

Rene had said that it wasn’t easy for Nora to raise the three children alone. It wasn’t easy for her to attend school here. They were all neighbors and he had to help.

So Liam took a deep breath and continued, “That project…actually, if you look at it carefully, you may realize that it will be very valuable in the future. Even though we won’t be able to make any profit in the short term, we have to look further down the road…”

Even if Royce helped Wayne out of friendship, he couldn’t have given him money for no reason.

Wayne’s project was indeed promising for the future.

However, Royce’s subordinate kept nagging him, “This idea of yours is very dangerous! We are investors, of course we look at long-term profits! But you are a newcomer, what do you know, you still dare to talk nonsense here? Don’t tell me you want to defend Lisa because she is beautiful? Mr. Royce will definitely disagree! Won’t you, Mr. Royce?”
