Chapter 143 - 144
Elodie’s POV~
Perhaps because he could see we were genuinely exhausted, Professor Nolan let us leave around nine that night.
After an entire day of mental strain, I went straight home, soaked in a hot bath until my fingers pruned, and collapsed into bed.
The next day, there was a glitch at Wilson Tech that needed addressing.
Johnny and I headed over that afternoon to sort it out.
When we arrived at Wilson Tech, we spent some time going over the technical issues with their team. I was mid-sentence, explaining a potential workaround, when the conference room door opened and two men walked in, escorted by a staff member.
I glanced up briefly.
Both of them looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place them immediately. One of them, tall, with sharp features, an expensive watch, raised an eyebrow when he saw me.
"Wait, she actually works here? Small world."
The other guy, broader build and more casual in his demeanor, just shrugged like he couldn’t care less.
A staff member nearby overheard and quickly corrected them. "Oh, you mean Miss Miller? No, she’s not with Wilson Tech. She’s from Cole Technologies, just here helping us troubleshoot a system issue today."
I felt their eyes on me, lingering a beat too long.
