Chapter 667 A Condescending Assistant

Obadiah successfully received the first and second reagents developed by Neera’s team.

After Obadiah inspected it, he was full of praise for her. “Neera, I knew it would be no problem! These two reagents completely met my requirements!”

As he spoke, he sighed sadly.

“With your intelligence, potential, and talent in medical research, if you continue to research, you’ll have very high attainments and surpass me! It would be great if you can devote yourself wholeheartedly.”

Neera smiled slightly and showed determination. “Mr. Hanson, although I run the company, most of my time is still in research and development. Don’t worry. I’ll never give up on this path.”

After hearing that, Obadiah was immediately relieved. “That’s good. I hope you’ll always maintain a pure heart in medicine.”

They chatted for a while and then turned back to business.

“How is the current progress of the third reagent?”

“We’ve begun to invest in research and development. There was a problem with the data before, which caused the experiment to be overturned and redone. It took some time, but now it’s on track.”

“Okay.” Obadiah smiled. “It’s not urgent. You should rest properly. Don’t exhaust yourself.”

After hanging up the phone, Neera’s smile faded slightly.

The research and development of the third reagent was indeed on track, but it lacked one of the rare medicinal

materials.

After much thought, she could only find a reliable medicinal material dealer in Kingsview to see if she could buy it at a high price.

In the morning, Katy helped Neera find a bunch of information. Neera had selected a few reliable sellers and planned to visit the store when she had time.

At noon, Penny’s dance teacher suddenly called Neera, “Hello, Ms. Garcia. Are you free now?”

The other party was polite, so Neera treated her with courtesy. “Yes, what’s the matter?”

“It’s Ms. Amanda. She’s in Kingsview now. She wants to ask if you’re free and make an appointment with you. Her time is very tight. It would be best to meet her today.”

Neera did not refuse her. “Okay.”

Neera agreed and made an appointment. At two o’clock, she picked up Penny from school and went to Amanda on time.

Amanda also had people with her, including her assistant and Penny’s dance teacher.

Amanda was from Essley. Her facial features were beautiful. The most beautiful part was her eyes, which were as blue and pure as sapphires.

Maybe she had been dancing for many years. Her figure was graceful, and her temperament was even more elegant and noble. She was already in her forties, but she looked young.

The two parties met, and Amanda was very enthusiastic. “Ms. Garcia, you’re such a beauty! You have a good figure and a graceful temperament. If you dance, you’ll be particularly charming!”

She first praised Neera and then smiled at Penny.

“Little girl, I’ve seen your dance. It’s very spiritual. You can dance gracefully at a young age. That’s good! I thought you were a cold little beauty, but I didn’t expect you to be so cute!”

Penny was very well-behaved, sat upright, and smiled sweetly. “Ms. Amanda, thank you for the compliment!”

Amanda touched Penny’s face, then looked at Neera and got to the point.

“Ms. Garcia, I value Penny’s dancing talent very much. It’s my first time to see such a good talent. I sincerely hope to take Penny abroad for training. I assure you that I’ll teach her everything I have.”

Neera responded, “Thank you, Ms. Amanda. I understand your love for talents. I believe you’ll do your best to teach students. But it’s Penny’s business. I’ll let Penny make her decision.”

After speaking, she looked at Penny to give her encouragement and support.

When Penny heard she would be studying abroad, her expression changed slightly. It was indeed the same as her previous guess.

She pursed her lips, faced Amanda’s expectant gaze, and spoke crisply and firmly.

“Ms. Amanda, I’m very grateful for your recognition and love. But I don’t want to go abroad. I have my family in Kingsview. They’re my most important people. I don’t want to leave them, so I’ll stay in Kingsview.”

Neera touched Penny’s head and followed suit. “Ms. Amanda, Penny is only interested in ballet and has no plans to develop it into a career. And for selfish reasons, I don’t want to be separated from my child. Sorry.”

After hearing that, Amanda looked disappointed. But before she could speak, her assistant could not sit still.

The assistant frowned and showed a condescending attitude. “Ms. Garcia, I hope you can think about it carefully. Not everyone is qualified to be Ms. Amanda’s disciple!”

Those words made Neera a little unhappy. She glanced at the assistant, and her attitude became cold.

“I thought about it very clearly. It might be a rare opportunity for others, but not us.’

”

Neera refused politely, then changed the topic. “I’m grateful to Ms. Amanda for appreciating Penny. But do all the staff around her have this attitude like you? If so, I can’t entrust my child to you guys!”
