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…”
