Chapter 714:

“I’m afraid you have overestimated me.”

Her words were a gentle but clear refusal, hinting that she had no interest in taking on any new followers.

Aurora seized the moment and said, “Kieran, Lenny, you should listen to her.”

Aurora said it with an edge, hoping Kieran and Lenny would pick up on Harlee’s implication. She wasn’t interested in having them as Harlee’s followers.

However, Kieran and Lenny were undeterred.

“That’s not true. We truly admire you, Harlee.”

Aurora was left speechless, unable to hide her disbelief at their audacity.

Harlee rubbed the bridge of her nose, exhaling softly before turning back to Aurora and Ronald.

“I came here today because of Fleming, and I thought it would be nice to stop by and see you both. When I have some free time in a few days, I’ll make sure to invite you for a proper meet-up.”

Harlee turned to Kieran and Lenny, offering a polite smile.

“Gentlemen, you are giving me far too much credit. I’m certainly no expert in physics experiments compared to you.”

Aurora and Ronald replied, “Alright!”

Kieran and Lenny replied, “You are too modest.”

Kieran and Lenny thought to themselves that they weren’t fools and certainly wouldn’t be brushed aside. Though the results of Experiment A-class were the product of Kieran’s tireless work over three sleepless nights, they had been toiling away at it for nearly a year, and no one else had been able to crack it.

But Harlee not only solved it but also perfected it to a level that surpassed even their highest expectations.

Who could believe it was simply luck?

Harlee remained silent. She didn’t know how to respond.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Harlee turned to Fleming and said, “Let’s go, Fleming.”

“We are already over ten minutes late, and they are probably growing impatient.”

Kieran immediately jumped in, “Impatient? Harlee, where are you and Mr. Sanderson going?”

Harlee didn’t want to get into the details, but seeing the curious expressions on Aurora’s and Ronald’s faces, she knew they were just as eager for an explanation. They simply hadn’t voiced it. She sighed and shrugged before outlining the situation.

In the blink of an eye, Aurora and Ronald, as well as Kieran and Lenny, rushed to their desks, grabbing pens and paper. In perfect unison, they asked, “Harlee, can we join in?”

Fleming stood there, wide-eyed in disbelief. The four of them were indeed the heart and soul of the physics lab, moving as if they were one entity.

Harlee shook her head and replied, “This is a bet between me and them.”

The four of them exchanged disappointed glances but didn’t press further. Instead, they simply asked if they could watch.

Fleming gave his consent.

Harlee’s phone rang as they were about to leave the core division. With his sharp eyes, Fleming spotted the caller ID and instantly recognized it as Rhys. Without missing a beat, he reached out and said, “Harlee, good timing. I have a few words for that jerk.”
