NovelStartChapter 184 "I just saw Evelyn giving Professor Hill a gift," Tiffany said as she took a seat, her tone indifferent.
"A gift?" Mason chuckled. "What's the point of giving him a gift? It's like handing an acceptance letter from Halford University to an illiterate-it's a wasted opportunity." Evelyn was just a housewife with a bachelor's degree. She was able to meet Graham only thanks to Sebastian's foolishness in recommending her. Even if they were trying to gild her image, Evelyn would still need sreal capability.
Tiffany glanced at Mason, amused. "You're too blunt." Mason shrugged. "The truth is never pleasant to hear." He turned to Lucas. "Lucas, what do you think Sebastian means by this bringing Evelyn to meet his dad? Could it be that they've been involved for a while?" "No," Lucas responded slowly, shutting down Mason's speculation without a second thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTiffany couldn't help but observe his reaction, searching for any hint of emotion. Fortunately, he remained as cold as ever.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Sebastian's family was prominent in the national research community. Someone like him wouldn't care about Evelyn's background or education.
Lucas took a sip of his tea, his expression still distant. "Flying Seal Group is launching a project soon. Have you considered why they're meeting with Professor Hill?" Jason finally spoke up. "Flying Seal Group's projects haven't had this much fanfare before. Either this project has Professor Hill's technical guidance or it's a priority under snew policies." Tiffany immediately grew more serious. "So, you're saying Professor Hill might be involved behind the scenes?" Jason answered vaguely, "I'm not sure." His tone suggested uncertainty. If Graham was truly involved, it would mean the project was going to be a game- changer-a rare opportunity.
He glanced at Lucas, who had remained composed throughout the discussion. Then, Jason asked, "Have you finalized the tto collect the divorce certificate?" Tiffany turned to Lucas as well.
Lucas raised an eyebrow slightly. "Yeah, in about a month. What about it?" Jason leaned back in his chair, casually spinning his phone in his hand. "Nothing.
I just think it's been dragging on for a while." On the other hand, Evelyn was having a pleasant time.
She had gone out of her way to buy sof Graham's favorite desserts, and he was in a good mood because of it. She and Sebastian also discussed Flying Seal Group's upcoming technical innovations for the project with him.
Graham adjusted his glasses and nodded thoughtfully. "You're good at this. If you had spent half the energy you put into flirting with men into your work, you'd be famous by now." Evelyn couldn't argue with that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSebastian laughed, placing sfood on his plate. "Dad, don't say that. If she were to put all her energy into her career and not marry or have children, her grandmother would probably cafter you."
"Evelyn isn't like you; she has vision. Whether the outcis good or not, she has already planted the seeds. Who else can say the same, huh? Look at you-a bachelor. Shameless!" Graham scoffed. Sebastian fell silent. He shouldn't have said anything to avoid being roasted. Evelyn smiled faintly.
Graham then asked, "For this project, will Evelyn's nbe on the paper?"
After all, Evelyn had taken the lead on the entire project, working tirelessly on it. But putting her nontm would officially make her a key member of Flying Seal Group, but the confidentiality agreement hadn't expired yet. There were still srestrictions.
"Of course. She's the one mainly responsible for it. How could we not put her non it when everyone! hit etse is involved? Sebastian didn't see any issue with it. It was the perfect opportunity to show everyone just how talented Evelyn really was.
Evelyn, however, didn't pay too much attention to it.
She lowered her gaze, took a deep breath, and suddenly said, "Professor Hill, I'd like to apply to do my postgraduate studies under you. Is it... too late?"
