Chapter 1263

“Yeah.”

Carl looked at Mr. Pearce and said, “Mr. Pearce, where’s the central control room?”

“This way, please.” Mr. Pearce immediately understood what Carl meant and proceeded to lead him to that room.

Carl and the men who had stayed behind followed Mr. Pearce to the central control room, after which he opened the door and began with the process of inspection with his men.

After he had examined the surveillance system in the room, he turned around and ordered, “Install some surveillance cameras outside.”

“Yes, sir.”

As the whole area was being set up, Carl stayed back in the central control room and took over from there.

On the other hand, Nicole was now running the very last experiment for the day in an office at the research base. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the screen, holding their breaths as they watched the endless flash of numbers. As they did so, Nicole began praying mentally, hoping that they would succeed this time.

“Ding.” The results appeared with a ding, and once everyone had seen it, they breathed a long, collective sigh and left in disappointment.

Nicole was devastated when she saw the results on the screen, as she had been met with another failure in spite of the fact that she had already tried her best. ‘Is it really impossible to develop this chip?’

At that moment, several men opened the door to Nicole’s office and waltzed in with Ike, causing everyone to turn their gaze at the door.

Nicole looked at them and instantly understood why they came over.” You’re all here to see the results, right? Come with me.”

Nicole brought them over to Naigel’s computer right away and said,” Naigel, show them the final results.”

Naigel looked at Nicole and reluctantly computed the results. Then, Ike and the rest proceeded to look at the results, before turning back to Nicole.

“Miss Riddle, we’ve already anticipated this outcome. We only agreed to your idea because of Mr.

Harmon. Now that the experiments have ended, please merge with Ike’s team, starting from next week.” One of the men in charge stepped forward as he looked at Nicole.

He had always been opposed to Nicole, and thus, he felt vindicated.

“No problem,” Nicole responded flatly.

Then, she turned to the people who had been by her side for the past few days and gave them all a grateful smile.

Hearing this, everyone stood up and stared at her.

“Thank you for the effort you’ve put in for the past few days. I have let you down, and I’m sorry.’ Nicole nodded and left the office.

“Wait up.” Kelly ran after her.

Nicole ran up to the rooftop with Harvey in hot pursuit. Once they were on the rooftop, he stared at Nicole from the back and maintained his silence. Then, he slowly walked up to her side without uttering a word and proceeded to watch the sunset with her.

After some time, Nicole finally spoke. “Maybe that guy was right. I’ve been wrong from the very beginning.”

Nicole felt that she had wasted everyone’s precious time.

‘If they didn’t follow her, she could’ve done something more practical together with Ike,’ Harvey thought.

“No one knows what’s right or wrong until it has actually been done. Only the people who’ve tried know what is wrong.” Harvey began to feel bad for her as he looked at her. ‘She didn’t have to do this, so why is she taking on this burden on her own?’

“Yeah, I know now.” Nicole laughed at herself.

“Maybe you’ve just started. You’re far from done here.” Harvey saw Nicole’s blood, sweat, and tears poured into her work for the past few days, and he believed that she had not reached her full potential just yet.
