Chapter 451
Zach was at a loss for what to say. What Chad just said was true.
Chad placed the documents on the table and smiled enigmatically. In that case, you should start working on getting rid of those strange impressions you have of us. It’s Mr. Larkin who’s abandoned his moral principles. Ari doesn’t really care about what he does.
“You also don’t have to do anything to express your sympathy for Ari, Mr. Quinton. If you really do feel apologetic, just stick to discussing work with us. That’s enough to show you truly respect her.”
Zach made no retorts. He could also see how determined Chad was to defend Ariel.
Zach heaved a deep breath. “I understand. There’s another reason why I’ve come here today. Vireon will be working with the Department of Defense on a project involving new, enhanced materials.
“The Department of Defense will recruit several teams to provide technical support for a certain project. My father has asked me to relay this information to your team. Perhaps Faye Tech can consider trying for it.”
Chad could see what Zach was trying to do. This was probably his way of appeasing them.
“Thanks. We’ll decide once we’ve discussed it among our team members,” Chad answered curtly.
Before leaving, Zach cast a glance in the direction of Ariel’s office.
He felt extremely perplexed.
Ariel probably wouldn’t bother acting courteous or friendly around him anymore.
After Zach left, Chad informed Ariel about the Department of Defense’s need for technical support. Ariel was all for it. With the Department of Defense recruiting people to obtain technical support, Faye Technologies would only benefit from a project like that if they managed to join in.
They had pretty much received first–hand information from Zach.
After they checked the location, Ariel decided to visit the place during the weekend.
She planned to find out more in advance about the latest progress the Department of Defense had achieved. This experience would also help the research on the sixth–generation fighter jet, which was scheduled to happen in the latter half of the year, progress more smoothly.
During the next few days, things were quite peaceful for Ariel. She had not heard anything from Evelyn after that. Jayson had most likely taken care of the issue.
Even if he hadn’t, Ariel would not mind making her stance clear to Evelyn once and for all.
All Ariel wanted was to prevent herself from being needlessly harassed by these people.
The Department of Defense had a space that was not part of the restricted area and was open to the public.
Since the Department of Defense was looking to recruit technical personnel, Ariel, Chad, and several of Faye Technologies‘
most brilliant engineers went there together.
Once they got there, everyone needed to go through the strict security checks. After the security team had made sure there weren’t any major issues, Ariel’s group was allowed to scan their ID to register their information and enter the place.
Ariel felt humbled to be in this place. She could not help but think about how she would have been able to contribute significantly to their country’s development by now if everything had gone as planned back then.
“There’s no need for you to be so down and gloomy. I’m sure it won’t take long for you to secure a position here. With your experience of having developed the U.N2, they’ll give you the green light no matter where it is you wish to do your research.”
Chad could tell what Ariel was thinking almost instantly. He smiles and patted Ariel on the head, trying to cheer her up.
When Zach got there, he saw how gentle and affectionate Chad was to Ariel.
Walker,”
He pursed his lips and walked up to the pair. Zach fixed his gaze on Ariel. “Ms. V Ariel simply looked at him and said nothing.
Zach had hardly ever faced any major obstacles in his life. He felt extremely defeated now that he had finally encountered one. Moreover, it was because of a woman.
At the same time, Zach felt a little dejected. He had some misunderstandings about their relationship. Zach didn’t mean to treat Ariel the way he did.
The Faye Technologies team wasn’t the only one that had received news
Ariel was about to take a look around the place when two cars pulled
the Department of Defense’s plans.
entrance.
Nancy got out of the car. She had around seven or eight engineers from Veyo Solutions following behind her.
Nancy had a contemptuous look in her eyes when she spotted Ariel She looked down on Ariel even more now after realizing how sly and cunning the latter was.
Ariel knew the Veyo Solutions team wouldn’t miss this chance to redeem themselves. Still…
Zach’s expression hardened the instant he saw Nancy. He swiftly turned his gaze toward Ariel. “You need to believe me. I swear I’m not the one who told her to come. I’ve only shared the information with your team.
