NovelEnglishChapter 1234
The dented corner of the machine had been repaired, so Keith and I got ready to go up to the second floor. An
installation was going on on the shed roof of the second floor. For safety, Keith and | both wore safety helmets.
Elena saw us and sneered. "You must have a lot to handle lately, Mr. Keith. Mr. Grant has putfully in charge
here. Maybe you should get srest and do your own thing."
Her words could not be any blunter. Keith nodded but did not say a word.
Elena then looked atand continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Ms. Lane is in charge of this project, but Mr.
Fredericks seems to be the one hardest at work. Even the handover work that's supposed to be your
responsibility as the secretary is now done by Mr. Fredericks. All you do is chere and take a look at things.
I'm confused about who's the boss right now.”
She was wearing heels, so she was much taller than me. Plus, she had her arms crossed, which inevitably made
| disliked this feeling, so | answered blandly, “Mr. Fredericks is the boss, of course. | should be the one working
with you, and that's negligence on my part. I'll take note of that in the future. | just hope that every twe
need to talk about work, you'll talk only about work."

Elena faked a smile. “Of course."
We had fought before, so there was no way we could get along well.
Though if she stopped nitpicking about everything, we would still be fine.
Keith still had things to do and could not stay besideall the time, so he left soon after.
Jordan needed to handle other matters, so he left after walking around the institute.
Elena and | were the only ones remaining, so we could only communicate with each other about what was going
on. Elena was perfectly capable at work.
Sof her ideas were great, but | had ideas of my own as well. She did not deny my ideas because of our feud
but carried out a serious analysis and adopted them if she thought they were feasible.
Working with her could invariably ignite a person's fighting spirit.
A day passed quickly. When it was tto get off work, Elena packed up and left immediately. She was hard at
work but was no workaholic.
Everyone at the institute had gone to have dinner, so | went down to the first floor.
| stopped in my tracks when | passed by the wall where the machine had fallen yesterday. Sometimes, one would
not stop until one satisfied one's curiosity.
Moreover, it was too strange. How could such a thick wall be hollow?
"Ms. Lane." Krayden's voice sounded behind me.
| looked back and asked with a smile, "You haven't gotten off work, Mr. Krayden?”
Krayden nodded with a smile. "I'll leave after doing schecks. Do you still have things to do?” "No, I'm about
to leave as well.”
"We can leave together.”
Since | could not refuse, | agreed.
After leaving the institute with him, | saw that Keith was not here to pickup yet. Hence, | took Mr. Krayden's
car back.

When I got in the car, | asked, "Mr. Krayden, the research institute wall seems really thick. Is that a special
requirement?”
Krayden started the car. "I'm not sure about that, but I noticed that the walls are especially thick too. ~ Maybe

Hence, the quality will inevitably be slightly poorer. Therefore, the walls are thicker. It made sense, but I still had
questions. However, | did not ask him as he mightknow much either.
The sky was already a little dark when | arrived at the accommodation.
When | got back to my room, | saws. Shannamaying on the bed and on her phene. | asked with a smile; "Are yout
