Chapter 47: Not as easy to fool as the man in front of me

Robert nodded, "Yes, my grandfather is very supportive of her career and built a laboratory for her at home. When she’s not at the research institute, she’s in her home laboratory doing a bunch of experiments every day. The printed reports are scarier than my homework."

Chloe’s index finger rubbed against her thumb, her eyes deep in thought.

"Reports?"

"Yeah, like some data sheets and stuff. My aunt is really paranoid, so anything related to data, she has to have several hard copies just in case something goes wrong in the database. In the end, the lab was piled high with papers, so it had to be moved to a larger space—ah, that’s the building you and my brother are living in now."

As he spoke, he laughed, as if recalling something interesting, "One time my brother and I were playing video games and accidentally barged into her lab. We almost burned it down. Later, my grandfather punished my brother by making him do 300 squats. Since I was still young, I got away with it by crying a few times."

Chloe lowered her gaze, "When your aunt left, what happened to her lab?"

"I’m not sure about that. My brother knows more about it. My aunt likes him a lot and often let him into the lab back then."

Chloe Collins frowned slightly.

After all this time, the breakthrough was stuck with Alex.

This Alexander Foster... he’s not as easy to fool as the man in front of me.

If she said something wrong with him, she might arouse his suspicion.

After all, with just a look or an innocent comment from her, he could think that she had a crush on him.

Robert kept talking non-stop, but she couldn’t hear a word.

It wasn’t until they were forced to take a photo that she finally snapped back to reality.

"What are you doing?"

Robert lowered his head to edit his messaging app’s caption and said, "Posting daily updates is a rule my mom set for me."

Chloe’s mouth twitched, what a strange rule.

In a blink, Robert had finished editing the caption—

[Our lunch (Picture) (Picture)]

Then he added Chloe on the messaging app.

The two didn’t sit for long and left after finishing their meal.

Behind them, Cherry and the others were still discussing the great Primordial.

Only Raine’s gaze quietly followed Robert and Chloe as they left, her bamboo chopsticks looking like they were about to be snapped by her grip.

-

At the same time, at the West Suburb Golf Course.

Alex handed the club to the caddie and walked back.

Seeing Mr. Ford, who was waiting not far away, smiling foolishly at his phone, Alex called out, "Mr. Ford."

Mr. Ford looked up and hurried over, "Young Master, are you not playing anymore?"

"No, there’s another meeting in the afternoon."

Just as Alex was about to go change clothes, he stopped halfway and looked at Ford indifferently, "What were you looking at just now?"

"Oh, it’s this." Ford took out his phone, showing Alex Robert’s post on the messaging app.

"Fourth Young Master and Miss Collins having lunch together, they seem to be having a good time."

Alex glanced at the photo, clearly seeing that only two people sat in the four-seat table.

Ford sighed gently, "Last time you personally invited her to dinner, she didn’t even agree. I thought she had a reclusive personality and didn’t want to socialize with others. I’m relieved now."

Alex’s face suddenly darkened, his demeanor colder than usual, "Don’t talk about irrelevant matters during work hours."

Mr. Ford retracted his fatherly smile and hurried to catch up with Alex, "Young Master, are you jealous? It’s good to be jealous. It means there’s still a chance for you to marry..."

"Mr. Ford." Alex frowned.

Mr. Ford smiled faintly and nodded, "Okay, I won’t talk about it anymore."
