Chapter 142

Perhaps because he could see they were truly exhausted, Nolan let them go home that night around 9 PM. After a whole day of exhaustion, Ireya took a bath when she got home and went to bed early. The next day, there was an issue at Wilson Tech that required their attention. Freya and Johnny went there that afternoon to handle the matter.

Upon arrival at Wilson Tech, after briefly discussing technical issues, Rex and Yves walked in, escorted by a staff member. Seeing Freya, both Rex and Yves were slightly surprised. Yves raised an eyebrow. “She’s actually an employee of Wilson Tech? What a coincidence.”

Rex shrugged. He didn’t even know her well enough to know if she worked for Wilson Tech. A staff member of Wilson Tech overheard their conversation and added, “Are you talking about Miss Miller? She’s not an employee here. She’s from Cole’s technical team, here to help with a system issue today.”

Noticing that someone seemed to be watching her, Freya turned to glance over. She immediately recognized Rex and Yves as the two who had been discussing her at the auction. She glanced at them briefly before calmly averting her eyes. Yves chuckled. “Wow, she’s ignoring us.”

Rex, however, wasn’t interested in talking about Freya anymore. He was about to speak when Raven walked in from outside. Upon seeing them, Raven paused, slightly surprised. “Miss Brown.”

Upon seeing Raven, Rex’s expression changed, losing the indifference he had shown when Yves mentioned Freya earlier. Raven nodded, her face neutral. She greeted, “Mr. Hardin, Mr. Jolly.”

Rex approached her actively, “Miss Brown works at Wilson Tech?” “No,” Raven replied. “I specialize in algorithms, and recently I wanted to improve myself, so I came here to learn from everyone.”

Although Rex was a native of the capital, he rarely stayed in the city. It was only recently that he had returned. Since meeting Raven, he had heard a lot of discussions about her in their circles. He had learned that she was exceptionally talented, graduating from university at 18, and even enrolled as a Ph.D. student at a top-tier global university. This resume made him feel inferior.

Moreover, he had heard that she excelled in racing and esports, to the point of winning awards. In addition, she enjoyed adventure activities like rock climbing and skydiving. After learning more about Raven, Rex found her to be even more alluring and enigmatic than he had initially thought. He was even more interested in her now. Too bad… She was with Matteo.

Thinking this, he didn’t get too close to Raven, maintaining a respectful distance. “Miss Brown is truly diligent and hardworking.”

Raven replied, “Mr. Hardin, you flatter me. It’s precisely because I’ve realized my own shortcomings that I’m eager to learn more.” Raven was so excellent and humble that Rex admired her even more.

Rex and Yves were at Wilson Tech for work, as their company, HJ Tech, had a partnership with Wilson Tech. In fact, Cole, Wilson Tech, and HJ Tech were working on the same project, but Cole and Wilson Tech were collaborating on system technology, while HJ Tech and Wilson Tech were working on materials. When Rex and his team arrived, another project manager from Wilson Tech, Manager Jack, came to greet them. They walked towards Freya and Johnny.

Manager Jack smiled and said, “Mr. Gray, are these two—” Johnny raised an eyebrow upon seeing them. “Ah, Mr. Hardin, Mr. Jolly, and Miss Brown.” Treya had only glanced at Rex earlier and didn’t pay attention to the others. Upon hearing Johnny say “Miss Brown,” she immediately guessed it was Raven. However, she didn’t raise her head and continued to discuss matters with them.

Manager Jack smiled. “Do Mr. Gray and Mr. Hardin know each other?” “Yes,” Johnny replied. After all, they were all from the elite circles in the capital, so it was natural to know one another. However, their paths were different, and they weren’t very familiar with each other. Rex and his team greeted Johnny, then walked off with Manager Jack to discuss work matters. Raven stayed with Johnny. She naturally saw Freya. But after a brief glance, she lost interest and returned her attention to Johnny. “Mr. Gray, did you just arrive?”

Johnny was capable enough, and being a student of Nolan, even though he could tell Johnny was somewhat biased against her due to Freya, he still wanted to build a good relationship with him. After all, once she became Nolan’s student too, they would be interacting more and more. “I’ve been here for about half an hour,” Johnny replied, glancing up while taking notes. “Miss Brown seems to have been here much longer.”

Raven replied, “I arrived at Wilson Tech this morning, but after a busy day, I was a bit tired, so I went upstairs to have some water and rest for a bit.” This “going upstairs to have water and rest” obviously referred to going to Matteo’s office. Upon hearing this, Johnny paused, his tone becoming even more indifferent. “I see. So, Mr. Wilson is also at Wills Tech?” “No, he’s at his main company.” So, even if Matteo wasn’t there, she could still freely go in and out of his office?

Did this mean Matteo had no secrets from her?
