They had read about the patents and projects Amelia mentioned. They simply refused to admit that a graduate from a nameless university could turn out to be more outstanding than them.Other colleagues in the corridor nodded in agreement and shot Amelia looks of approval.After the three men left with their tails between their legs, the HR colleague heaved a sigh of relief. “Ms. Sinclair, that was a great comeback! But perhaps you shouldn’t be so direct next time, lest you offend someone in the academy.”Amelia smiled and said nothing more.-After going through the onboarding process, Amelia was brought to the dean’s office.The dean was an old man with a head full of white hair. His surname was Carter, and he spoke warmly with a tinge of sternness. “Ms. Sinclair, welcome to the academy. I’ve read your resume and seen your rich experience in emergency response UAV. I have a key project which I wish to hand to you to oversee.”The dean switched his computer on and retrieved t

Amelia knew that Lincoln and Jayden wouldn’t spare her so easily, but she didn’t expect them to appear in her life again under the guise of such a “collaboration”.She took a deep breath and said to Mr. Carter, “This collaboration…”“I know you have your concerns,” Mr. Carter cut her off and said sincerely, “Navitech’s technology in the area of core components for UAV is very mature. I’m sure the project can progress even faster with their support. The academy has made its assessment. This collaboration is all gain and no pain.”Amelia fell silent for a few seconds.She knew how important this project was, and that it wasn’t easy achieving results in a short period of time relying on the academy’s resources alone. Navitech’s involvement would solve many problems ahead. However, the thought of getting involved with Lincoln and Jayden once again made her scalp go numb.“I’m agreeable to it,” Amelia eventually said with a nod. “But I have one request. We have to be the ones taking

Amelia suddenly remembered receiving flowers and a birthday cake from nowhere.The sender had wished her a bright and promising future ahead.Now that she thought about it, they must have been from Christopher.Amelia took a deep breath and thought back on the car accident, which she wasn’t sure had anything to do with her. Her brows furrowed as she put the lid back on the box. Just then, her phone rang. Jayden’s name popped up on the screen like a blade piercing through the calm.Amelia hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call anyway. She greeted him coldly, “Hello?” “Mia, are you free now?” Jayden said with deliberate warmth and tenderness. “I heard about Navitech’s collaboration with the Academy of Aerospace. Should we find time to discuss the details?”He went on with a chuckle, “See how fated we are even after you leave Northon?”Amelia tightened her grip over the steering wheel. “Let our assistants liaise with each other regarding the project. I’ll arrange

With that, Amelia stood up, picked up the document on the table and turned to leave.When the meeting room door shut, blocking out the rage on Jayden’s face, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief. Yet, when she turned around, she saw Mr. Carter at the other end of the corridor.Mr. Carter had a glass of tea in hand and he waved at her when he saw her. “Ms. Sinclair, come to my office for a while?”Amelia’s heart fell as she followed him into his office.Mr. Carter poured her a glass of warm water before saying, “I heard something from outside the meeting room. Jayden Zephyr isn’t making things difficult for you, is he?”Amelia shook her head, her fingers tightening over the glass though she said nothing.She knew what the dean was going to ask her.Things between her and Christopher were no secret in the scientific research circle in Northon. It wasn’t strange that Mr. Carter had heard about it.As she had expected, Mr. Carter sighed and looked out the window. “I’ve heard about thin

Christopher recalled how Jessica said that Amelia did not call him.He deliberately changed his number and switched his social media profile to private to cut off all ties with her.Yet sometimes, he couldn’t control himself. He always had the urge to see her and hug her. His affection for her continued to burn in his heart.Yet, he could only suppress them and keep them hidden.“Keep a close watch on Jayden and don’t let him cause Amelia trouble,” Christopher said to Nigel. “Have you found anything regarding the car accident?”The mention of the car accident made Nigel’s face darken. “I have. The car that hit you had a fake license plate and information on the car owner was falsified. The driver is a foreigner and he left the country the day after the car accident. He’s now back in Mediva, his home country.”“Mediva? What a coincidence,” Christopher scoffed.Jayden pursued further studies in Mediva and stayed there for five years. He clearly had his connections there.“Jayden
