Chapter 848
In front of them was an ordinary storefront, as ordinary as it could get.
Outside, there was a sign that read "LK Institute," looking just like a roadside snack shop.
Gavin gave an awkward smile, "We're poor. Bear with us, but our technology isn't bad!"
"Please, this way," he gestured them inside.
Elizabeth remained silent.
She knew this old professor was reliable. If she didn't know him, Elizabeth would have thought this was a trap, a scam.
Blair, perhaps still shaken from the earlier car accident, was being very cautious. She didn't dare walk ahead and stayed close to Elizabeth.
Blair also spoke less.
Elizabeth rarely enjoyed such peace and quiet.
The two followed Gavin into the storefront. Although the exterior didn't look impressive, the interior of the institute was quite well-decorated, clearly renovated in recent years.
Elizabeth glanced around and continued to follow Gavin further inside.
After passing through the reception area, they reached the innermost part of the research lab.
The outside looked shabby, but the inside was anything but.
Elizabeth squinted, suddenly curious. Could the shabby exterior be a deliberate facade?
After all, if it were too luxurious, what if someone came to rob them?
Just as she was thinking this, an elderly voice came from behind, "You're here."
Elizabeth and Blair turned around together.
It was a man in his seventies, with a head full of white hair.
Gavin immediately went up to greet him.
However, Elizabeth quickly noticed something odd.
Why did Gavin and this old man look so alike?
Not only did they look alike, but Elizabeth also noticed they seemed to share the same last name.
"Zander Dixon." Zander introduced himself.
Elizabeth looked back at Gavin.
Zander also glanced over and said, "Gavin is my grandson."
Elizabeth didn't know how to respond.
No wonder.
"So, is it just the two of you at this institute?" Elizabeth asked.
Zander shook his head, "There are others, but they're out on errands."
He coughed and took a few sips of water.
"I'm Elizabeth Percy. Sheldon sent me," Elizabeth introduced herself.
Zander nodded, "He called me."
"I heard you're very interested in SerenityLeaf, so shall we get straight to it?" Elizabeth sat down, not forgetting to take out the documents related to SerenityLeaf from her bag.
As Elizabeth was setting down the SerenityLeaf documents, her notebook fell out of her bag.
Blair looked over, and it happened to land face down on the floor.
Elizabeth picked it up and dusted it off.
Blair caught a glimpse of the scribbles on the notebook.
She couldn't help but curl her lip.
What was Elizabeth drawing? Did she think she had the talent of an artist or designer?
Elizabeth should just be an ordinary person.
"Let's get straight to it," Zander didn't intend to keep Elizabeth waiting.
Elizabeth immediately nodded and quickly got into the topic, discussing SerenityLeaf with him.
Blair listened attentively from the side.
When it came to work, she was quite serious, but only when it came to work.
The more Elizabeth and Zander talked, the more they hit it off. Gavin occasionally joined in, and the three of them exchanged smiles. Despite Blair's efforts to participate, she had to admit there was still a significant gap between her and them.
Zander was very interested in SH2N, and after talking with Elizabeth, he decided to join the SH2N development team.
Elizabeth couldn't be happier.
During their conversation, Elizabeth could sense that Zander was definitely not an ordinary person.
Zander was capable, just low-key.
Given that they were in Dream City, a chaotic place, he probably kept a low profile.
If he were in Lisbun, Zander would surely be a big shot.
They talked until very late, not even having time for lunch.
Around six in the evening, Gavin interrupted them, "Let's go out for dinner. I've already made reservations."
