The next day, after Neera went to the research center, she announced that Thora would no longer participate in the research and development.
After hearing this, everyone was quite satisfied.
With that young lady around, there was no peace all day long.
She not only didn't help much, but created a lot of troubles.
Everyone was happy and relaxed without her.
Over the following week, the Research and Development team was still busy.
Fortunately, the reagents development gradually got on the right track, and finally everyone no longer had to stay up late and work overtime.
In the afternoon, Neera wanted to tell Jean about the good news.
Jean replied instantly, "Congratulations, you've worked hard, I'll come to pick you up for dinner tonight, ok?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Neera agreed.
Shortly after, Katie talked to her about the company's situation.
"The site of the new research center has been completed, and various medical devices have also been shipped over from abroad. It will be ready to use as soon as next month."
Neera was very satisfied with this progress, and asked about other things.
"Has my aunt started to arrange for the research and development on the patent acquired from Garcia Group?"
Katie said, "It has already been started, and King is personally involved in it."
Neera brightened up as soon as she heard it, "King? That's great, I feel much relieved to hear him being part of it!!"
King was Sammy's mentor.
He was an important name In the IT industry.
His hacking skills were recognized as the best in the world, and with his help, there was nothing that could not be done.
As Sammy's mother, Neera had always had a good relationship with King because of Sammy's achievements.
Even King was involved in this...
She believed that, soon enough, the Garcia Group would regret selling this patent!
In the evening, Jean came to pick Neera up as promised and had dinner together.
After getting into the car, Neera was surprised to find that there were only the two of them.
"I thought you would pick up the little beasts."
Jean held the steering wheel casually with his good-looking hands, and smiled when he heard this.
"I went to pick them up, but they didn't want to come with me, saying they didn't want to disturb our date, so I sent them home first."
Neera didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, then we will live up to their kindness, where shall we have dinner tonight?"
Jean was in a good mood, and he deliberately created suspense.
"It's all been arranged, you just have to follow me obediently."
Neera couldn't help laughing, and teased him, "Why does it feel like I am being kidnapped by you?"
Jean reacted quickly, and replied in a soft voice, "Not kidnapping and trafficking, but possibly kidnapping you to go home."
She was teased instead, Neera turned red.
During the one-hour drive, the two chatted from time to time, it was trivial and interesting.
In the enclosed space within the car, the atmosphere was particularly warm.
There was a sweetness amidst the peace, and they both enjoyed it.
Soon, the car was far away from the urban area and stopped at a restaurant halfway up the mountain.
After getting out of the car, Neera was a little surprised.
"I did not know that there is such a hidden restaurant in Kingsview. The decoration is quite unique."
Jean threw the car keys to the parking boy and walked up to her.
"Go in and have a look, the inside is even more unique."
Soon, the two walked into the restaurant hand in hand.
Neera took a closer look, and after hearing Jean's introduction, she realized that this restaurant was indeed unique.
This restaurant only accepted ten tables of guests every day.
At first glance, it sounded a bit like the hunger marketing strategy.
However, after looking at the interior decoration of the restaurant, she could understand why.
The restaurant was not small in size.
However, for each table of guests, in addition to an area for dining, there was also an independent courtyard, plus a room for resting after meals.
This way, the entire restaurant could only be divided into ten large spaces.
Guests not only could dine here, but they could also order other services.
Neera's heart skipped a beat, "...What kind of services?"
It could not be that kind of unscrupulous "special" service, could it?
Jean couldn't help chuckling when he saw the obvious suspicion in her eyes.
"The service I'm talking about can be physical therapy, spa and so on. You have worked hard recently, and I brought you here specifically to make you relax."
After finishing speaking, he purposely moved closer to her ear, teasing her with his breathy voice, "What were you thinking, little rascal."
Neera knew she was going down the wrong route, and she blushed suddenly, feeling embarrassed.
However, Jean was not finished yet, so he narrowed his eyes meaningfully, "Also, I never go to that kind of place."
Neera shyly pushed him away, "Jean, I found out that you have changed!"
Jean leaned on the back of the chair and looked at her casually, "Oh? How have I changed?"
Neera blushed and complained, "You were not like this before."
Jean humbly asked, "What was I like before?"
Neera, "..."
This guy, who used to be cold, like a piece of emotionless log, had always been cautious and unapproachable.
Now, he seemed to be a different person, completely different from before!
Jean stared at her shining beautiful eyes, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips.
"Our relationship is different now! It would be bad if I was still the same as before. However, don't worry, only you can see this side of me in this life."
His loving promise was indeed touching.
Neera's heart skipped half a beat, and immediately raced.
She raised her eyes and stared at Jean's eyes. She saw his determination in them, her heart melted instantly.
After a while, the meal was served.
Neera was already hungry, and she dug in without hesitation.
After eating, she was very satisfied.
Jean walked with her around the courtyard for a while.
After digesting their food, a professional physiotherapist came to serve.
Neera was relaxing on the massage bed, enjoying more than two hours of physical therapy, and even did some skin care.
Probably because she was too tired, coupled with the aromatherapy, she was getting drowsy and she almost fell asleep.
After it was over, she stretched herself, feeling comfortable all over.
After changing her clothes, she went out from the lounge and found Jean standing in front of the French window, looking outside.
When she got closer, she then realized that it was raining already.
At this time, the physical therapist kindly reminded them.
"It's raining heavily. It won't stop so soon. The way down the mountain is dangerous and is prone to accidents. You may wait for the rain to stop, or rest here for one night before leaving tomorrow."
"OK, thanks."
Neera thanked her politely.
After the person left, she suddenly realized.
If they could not leave tonight, that meant she would have to spend the night with Jean, wouldn't she?
