Chapter 24
"These few days I found Miss Katherine and Mr. Elano quite close, there seems to be a rumor that they have known each other before us. I mean, Mr. Elano seems to have gotten to know Miss Katherine first so they are quite close."
"Really? They never show that closeness when they're in the office?"
"I don't know, I don't know what that means either. But the first day of introduction, Mr. Elano always looked at Miss Katherine and stared at her face for a long time. It's like it's all a code from them and we seem to have to investigate this closeness in order to get an explanation of what they are really doing."
"Agreed, we can't let one fall apart or have something make everything fall apart. I don't want to make things messy just because it's the two of them."
"You suspect Miss Katherine like that? She is a genius who has helped and given much of her abilities to help us and the people. Don't forget those who have gained life because of Miss Katherine's services. It's not funny if you forget about her just because of a little suspicion." One of the Professors who was there quickly dismissed the mistake made by his colleague.
"I don't know, I can't make things any more secretive if there is some unclear intention of them wanting to benefit from us. I don't know yet anyway and I will never let them step in alone and take control of all this. Even though Miss Katherine is close to Lord Elano because they have the same intentions."
"We actually don't know, don't make strange accusations. For that reason, we can't immediately create problems that will cause misunderstandings. Don't let us make changes that will cause trouble and destruction while we need to unite or survive in this terrible city. This city is already like hell, we can't make it even more like hell with hatred and unproven mistakes.
"Professionals, I'm sure Miss Katherine has no intention of doing that, she has lived here for many years and her father will not be one of the victims of the deaths caused by the disaster. If we make them experience that they are uncomfortable with it then it will only be a problem. We have to make sense of everything so that no one can make this destruction more real."
They seemed to stare at each other's faces, before finally nodding. The conversation and suspicions were blown away, making them stop talking and eventually nothing was said. After both of them were silent, who knows what people thought about the next intentions they had in their hearts.
No one can stop thinking about everything until they stop thinking. Whether it's evil or good, they will still think about everything to judge people as they wish, because as ordinary people, they will never be able to stop and escape from people's bad views.

"Some professors already suspect your closeness to Miss Katherine, sir. If they suspect this, it could cause trouble and you will never be able to get the end goal that you originally intended."
Elano sighed softly and nodded. "True, but I also can't stay away at the moment because if I know from her first then it will be easier. You know, this kind of ease would be more desirable so I don't have to wait for many people to talk about and watch the process of coming out but I already know better. Katherine has already discovered new formulas that can be used to build disaster-proof buildings, if I know from her it can be said that I will get a complete leak. I don't want to spend time with those useless old professors," he said making his assistant who was there fall silent.
"So you approached him to gain an advantage first? You mean so you don't waste your time with the ramblings of professors who will make things and test them and blame them if the project fails?"
Elano nodded. "If it's straightforward, then it means that he's already given me everything I want. I also know everything right away without having to bother myself to keep up with all the developments. It makes my time more plentiful too, it won't create any significant problems," Elano said as he wiped his face. "Taking the trust of the main character here will be easier and more profitable, without anyone realizing what I'm doing."
His assistant was silent, understanding all the steps his employer was taking. That said, this would make things easier, indeed having the advantage over having to follow all the procedures.
"I hope you're really doing it without any intention of making things the way you say, just because you're in love with her."
All of that was said by his assistant inwardly, because he did not want to say anything in front of his employer because he was afraid that it would come true and make him disappointed himself.
"Bring some food here, I want to eat something." Elano said as he sat down and leaned his head.
He looked at his assistant who was already walking away, before finally sighing and trying to get rid of his thoughts regarding what he had said earlier.
It was all for the sake of the company and its precious buildings, Elano had been known as a heartless businessman so he was able to get to this stage and have this life at the top. Until now, he was able to get everything and live well.
However, it was only this time that he had a breakdown and was a little doubtful of what he could get. He should feel calm and fine, there was nothing he had to do before making things really come true.
"Never mind, just see how it turns out later. I won't make things messy just because of matters of the heart."

Katherine sighed heavily with her head feeling so tired. She had just finished learning a lot of things that could be used to improve the building materials that she would work on and combine for the construction, and it was already 11:00 pm but she had not slept at all from this morning.
"It's fine, after this everything will get better and I'll make a really good building without any damage at all. Fortunately there are some professors who are willing to help and take care of some assessments and other research, this can help in more matters later. After summarizing everything well I can save it and will use it for the presentation that day, so that I can show and tell the performance and various properties of the materials that will be used."
Katherine yawned softly, it looked like she would be up for a long time tomorrow too because she was so tired. She was a girl who was never forced by her mother to cook because her mother herself wanted to do it every day. She just had to go through with everything and prepare whatever was her duty because that was the most important thing right now.
Her mother understood that what she was trying to do was very difficult and she was also listed as one of the most indispensable figures in the business of finding out what was needed in the construction and development of this city so that people could live well. After all this then they would also live in peace and quiet, that was their wish including her mother who also did not want to see her linger in the research room or work room until she forgot about the outside world.
After finishing summarizing and saving the file with a password lock that was more secure as it prevented people who might break into it, Katherine got up and walked towards the window. She was a little cold today because the weather had dropped drastically tonight and it showed that the situation and the weather were also unpredictable.
There was already a device that could predict the weather but since it was unstable and not supposed to be like this due to the sudden changes, it was also overwhelmed by what it was facing.
"It's really difficult, I have to make things better so that I can make things more organized in the future. I've found this disaster-proof building and it's working well so I'll find out about how to deal with the weather situation that changes at will. Having a baby when things like this are happening is really unfortunate. When life is difficult and most of those children won't survive either. Fortunately if they have a baby they will be asked to move for a while so that the child grows up a bit otherwise there might be a lot of deaths."
Katherine admitted that their government was good enough and did their best to make their people completely safe and able to live in peace. Even in this city the government did not turn a blind eye at all to still provide the best of what they needed.
Things like this are what makes them able to get a calmer life because in the future it will be easier to carry out whatever they want to do.
"I'd better sleep, if later everything is completely finished and I believe it can be used for this business then I will announce it in front of all the Professor's movements so that all the programs can be run immediately."
Katherine sighed softly, she could not carelessly complain because right now the most appropriate time was to rest and sleep optimally. Tomorrow she still had a lot to do and she also had to look for some errors that occurred in the test room that she herself had created.
Once all of this really went smoothly then she could resolve all the anxiety in her heart. There only needed to be a massive development in the city to adjust everything to the formula that she had found, so that the people could live peacefully and no one would have any difficulties at all.
Just as she lay down on the bed and began to close her eyes, someone in one of the places opened his eyes and stared at the window. He took out his cell phone and put it to his ear.
"It's almost 80%, sir. Just need a little more to be able to achieve what you want."
The man smiled, nodding in understanding. "Continue until the finish."
