Volume 3 Chapter 92 - Central family remote control system (1/2)

“Hey, Evita, you’re back from the mountain?” Akali came over with an excited look before looking over at Tibbers on the side and making a face, “What? Tibbers, Evita caught you to go experiment with her? Isn’t this too much, she wants you to work even though it’s lunch time. I already told you to come to my team, do you regret it now?”

Tibbers gave a bitter laugh. He had worked up the courage to confess to Evita, but it was broken up by Akali.

If he said anything to Evita now, it would be hard to have this kind of courage again.

“I don’t regret it, I like the chief…..’s topic of refining Magic Crystals. I feel that it’s more promising compared to the magic resonance technology.” Tibbers tried hiding it.

“You dare say that the magic resonance technology I study has no future?” Akali suddenly raised her voice, “Let me tell you, sir chairman personally told me that it had potential! You dare look down on it?”

“No, no, no, I didn’t mean this. I just prefer the chief’s topic.” Tibbers quickly waved his hands.

“Humph, do you prefer this topic or do you prefer Evita?” Akali suddenly glanced at Tibbers as she said this.

Tibbers’ face turned red and when he was about to argue, Evita raised a hand to stop him.

“Alright, it’s useless to argue this matter with Akali.” Evita revealed a smile. She looked out the window before saying to Tibbers, “Akali is right, it’s lunch time right now, I won’t keep you here for work. Go and eat your lunch.”

“But, these……” Tibbers pointed at the large pile of Magic Crystals on the table.

“I don’t need your help with this.”

Hearing the certainty in Evita’s voice, Tibbers left the lab feeling a trace of disappointment.

Seeing Tibbers close the door to the lab, Akali narrowed her eyes and asked Evita, “What do you think of him?”

“Not bad, he is very talented with Magic Arrays and his mind is very sharp, so he’s very suited for research.” Evita said.

“You know I’m not talking about this.” Akali rolled her eyes and came up beside Evita, taking her arm. She pushed her round cheeks forward and said with a smile, “What do you think of him? Do you like him? I can see that you’re always doing experiments with him lately.”

“Nonsense.” Evita’s face was a bit red as she reprimanded Akali, “I’m just treating him as an assistant, what other ideas are there.”

“It’s easy to become close to your assistants.” Akali said while laughing, “You’re both young, it’s normal for something to develop over time, what is there to be shy about? Then again, Tibbers doesn’t look bad.”

“I’m telling you it’s not that.” Evita snappily threw off Akali and said with a serious look, “I’m warning you, you can’t speak nonsense. If it affects my relationship with my assistant, I won’t forgive you.”

Akali stuck out her tongue and acted scared, but then she said with a smile, “The point is that he clearly likes you, don’t tell me that you can’t see it.”

Evita was stunned, “He likes me? Are you joking?”

Akali looked at Evita in surprise. After a while, she slapped her forehead and said in a pained voice, “I thought that you were the smartest one out of all of us and the one with the deepest thoughts, but now it seems like you’re as dense as sir chairman! Think about it carefully, how does Tibbers normally treat you? If he doesn’t like you, then my eyes must be blind!”

Evita knit her brows and carefully thought about what Akali said. She remembered her interactions with Tibbers and she found that what Akali said might be true.

“This…..isn’t good.” Evita looked awkward, “I don’t feel that way about him, it’ll be more awkward when I work with him in the future.”

“What is awkward about it? If you really don’t like him, just find a chance to explain it to him. There’s no one forcing you to like him.” Akali said in an uncaring voice, “Look, I like the chairman, but the chairman doesn’t like me. Everyone knows this, but it’s not awkward between us because this is a very normal thing.”

Evita looked at Akali in surprise, “You’re actually admitting it this openly now? Why do I feel that you aren’t acting so calm because you don’t like the chairman anymore?”

“Humph, I thought it through. Like is like, not liking is not liking. Me liking the chairman is my matter, it doesn’t affect me if he likes me or not.” Akali looked at Evita with a deep gaze, “Anyway, I’m not like a certain someone who clearly likes someone, but isn’t willing to admit it, so they bottle it up inside.”
