Yvette entered the research institute without issue. After putting on a lab coat and a surgical mask, she hurried into the laboratory.
Barnabus was on a video call with a young man who donned a mask. Yvette couldnât see his face.
âYouâre here, Yvie!â
Barnabus became excited when he saw Yvette. Standing up to welcome her, he introduced her to the young man on the other end of the call.
He said proudly, âYvie, this is my best student!â
When lan Murray met Yvetteâs eyes, he thought she seemed familiar. He frowned at how he was feeling such odd emotions because of an unknown woman.
Yvette nodded to greet him, then turned to Barnabus. âWhatâs wrong with the chip, Mr. Zabel?â
Hearing her question, Barnabusâ facial expression became grim once more.
âWe made a mistake with the chip. Because of that, the chip is damaged and malfunctioning,â
Barnabus said, handing Yvette the report.
Yvette skimmed through the report, and her expression became grim as well.
She started, âThe chip is badly damaged. The only way how is to use the system level test to-â
Before Yvette could finish, lan understood what Yvette was trying to do. Frowning even harder, he interrupted, âI object. Itâs too risky. If it fails, the chip will be destroyed for good.â
Hearing that, Barnabus became hesitant too. If the chip was destroyed, not only would it waste all their hard work, but it would also mean the chip research would fail completely.
âI donât need your approval,â Yvette said calmly, but the underlying arrogance was evident.
lan was taken aback. He hadnât expected a young woman like her to have such a dominating presence.
Coming to a decision, Barnabus resolutely said, âIâll leave it to you, Yvie. You can do what you want.
I trust you!â
âDonât worry, Mr. Zabel. Iâll do my best,â she replied.
Then, Yvette walked into the laboratory.
lanâs features tightened in displeasure. He said in disagreement, âMr. Zabel, how can you let her fool around?â.
âlan, if even Yvie cannot resolve the issue with the chip, then nobody can!â
Barnabus was being honest. If Yvette couldnât fix the chip, then even lan, his best student who was widely acknowledged as the most outstanding scientific researcher of the next generation, wouldnât be able to fix it.
lan was surprised by how much trust Barnabus had for Yvette. He wished Yvette wouldnât let Barnabus down.
After three hours, the laboratory door opened. Yvette walked out looking exhausted.
âYvieâ¦â Barnabus called, immediately approaching her.
âYou can rest easy now, Mr. Zabel. Iâve reverted the damage done to the chip.â
Hearing âThatâs that, Barnabus finally relaxed. great! Itâs all thanks to you, Yvie!â
