before she could be accepted by the research center.To obtain such an opportunity was so difficult that even Wilhelm had failed to do so previously.Thus, when Xavier and Winnie went to see him to discuss the matter, Wilhelm was naturally surprised by the development.He hadn’t expected Xavier to move so quickly and to be so lucky as to have one of the researchers at the research center resign.Still, the matter wasn’t as easy as Xavier imagined it would be.Firstly, they had to inform Andrew’s girlfriend to make the necessary preparations. Secondly, they had to make an appointment with the research center, which was where the problem lay.The physicist who had been liaising with Xavier’s classmate passed away all of a sudden.As a result, everything they had discussed previously was delayed, on top of the fact that they had lost the opportunity to even present their proposal.Due to that, Xavier fell into a long silence.Not only were all his earlier efforts wasted, but he only had half the amount of time previously available.At the sight of the gloomy Xavier, Winnie comforted him, “This always happens when we collaborate with others. Relationships are fraught with uncertainty, and no one can predict when an accident will occur. Therefore, depending on ourselves is still the most reliable choice.”“I know, but I don’t want to admit defeat just like that.” Xavier’s soul was still brimming with defiance. “I’m sure there’s another way.”With that, he picked up his jacket and prepared to head out.However, Winnie held him back. “You should get some rest. Have you forgotten about my friend? I’ll get in touch with her.”Before Xavier had a chance to protest, Winnie had already given her friend a call.When the call finally connected after ringing a long time, Winnie got straight to the point.“Lisanne, there’s something important I have to talk to you in person about. Are you free? I would like to meet you… Yes, the earlier the better… All right, I’ll see you soon.”Upon ending the call, Winnie waved her phone at Xavier’s face. “Done. I’ve already made an appointment with my friend. Since you must be exhausted after the past few days, you should rest at home and wait for my updates.”Xavier frowned in response. “Why don’t you let me come with you? To be honest, this wasn’t your business to begin with.” “What are you talking about? You’re just being foolish. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even need to do this. Besides, my friend doesn’t like strangers, so it’s better that I go alone this time. I’ll introduce you at the next opportunity.Giving Xavier no room to argue, Winnie grabbed her bag and left.Meanwhile, in a café opposite Livingsfill Physics Research Center, Lisanne had already ordered coffee by the time Winnie arrived.She was Lucas’ fraternal twin and shared a close relationship with Winnie.After greeting each other, Winnie sat down opposite her.“Lisanne, why did you come so early?” Winnie glanced at her watch. “I came ten minutes earlier on purpose, and from the looks of it, you have probably been here longer than that.”“I just came out to get some air.” Beset by problems recently, Lisanne looked visibly haggard. “It’s just too suffocating inside the research center. Also, the sudden passing of one of the professors has brought a sense of gloom to the office. By the way, I’ve taken the liberty to order you coffee.”“Thank you.” While stirring her coffee, Winnie explained, “Actually, I’m aware of the matter, and technically speaking, I’m here somewhat because of it.”“What?” Lisanne was taken aback. “Are you saying Professor Houlter’s death has something to do with you? You’re scaring me.”“No!” Winnie felt nonplussed. “You’re overthinking it. Actually…”Winnie related everything about Xavier’s challenge and all the latter’s efforts
