Chapter 1705
Ike was rendered speechless in an instant...
He could only scratch his head awkwardly. "Um, I'm just here to check it out."
Jared withdrew his frosty gaze and strutted toward Nicole," Don't just bring any random strangers here."
Nicole smiled, "Got it."
Ike's face immediately dropped, for Jared had called him a random stranger, making Nicole laugh in the process.
As expected, Nicole had been changed by Jared, but Ike did not reserve the right to talk about it.
"Regardless, thank you Mr. Johnston and Nicole for allowing me to have a look at your advanced technology and
learn about it. Since I'm back for a while, I'd like to treat you guys to a meal."
Seeing how generous Ike was, Jared became repulsed. "You wish to treat us? How much is your annual income?"
Ike was stunned, for he did not know what Jared was implying. Were they going to eat a meal that would cost him a
year's worth of his salary?
Hearing that, Ike could not help but shiver.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole noticed how awkward he was and said, "It's fine. I'll treat everyone to that meal. After all, Ike is a friend of
mine."
Jared darted his eyes at Nicole, apparently unhappy to see her regard Ike as a friend.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. Although their friendship was not that strong, he was still a good friend who had
worked with her on the research project. It was only right that she bought him a meal.
"Let's go." Jared nodded while staring at Ike.
Because of Ike, Jared's dating opportunity had been dashed away just like that.
Ike was feeling completely awkward, and he felt even worse to have Nicole treating him.
Then, Jared drove the car and brought them to the restaurant.
The three of them quickly took a seat, after which Nicole looked at Ike and asked, "You did not come back just to
see the manned flying car, did you?"
Otherwise, Ike would not have stayed for a meal with them.
Ike smiled when he realized that he had been exposed by Nicole. "If I tell you the truth, you'll have to let me pay for
this meal."
Nicole raised her eyebrows and eyed him. "What is it? Spill."
Ike knew all too well that Nicole hated beating around the bush. Therefore, he could only tell her the truth. "I ran
into a bottleneck at the Aegis Corporation. Without the artificial intelligence system, our invention will just be a
stock flying
car even if we manage to produce one. It is no match for the manned flying car which all of you are creating."
Nicole knew that Ike was speaking the truth, and so, she continue listening.
"One should always move toward greater heights, and I was serious about what I've said today. Mr. Johnston, do
you still have any vacancies available?" As Ike was speaking, he grinned at them.
Nicole raised her brows. Initially, he thought that Ike was just joking. But it seemed to her that he really wanted to
join the company and work under Jared.
Jared looked at Ike with a brow raised. "You wish to join the company?"
"Yeah. The only thing I'm good at are manned flying cars among other high technology related projects. If you don't
mind me, I'm willing to devote myself to the company until I can no longer work," Ike promised while sitting up
straight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole looked at Ike and it seemed to her that he really wanted to do so.
Then, she asked, "Have you talked to Scott and made things clear?"
Ike immediately nodded. He knew that if Nicole asked such questions, it would mean that she was about to accept
him.
After that, he followed up by saying, "Of course, the current project I'm working on will be completed soon. It's
impossible for me to invent an artificial intelligence system.
So, I'll leave once this project is done."
"Why would you want to join our project now?" Jared squinted at him.
The research for the project was close to completion, and if Ike joined the team, he could only work on the post-
research process and complete the final touch ups.
Ike then looked at Jared and replied, "I'm really interested in the artificial intelligence technology of manned flying
cars. You can think of me as a workaholic when it comes to research. Give me a chance. I believe I can bring out a
better result on top of the current technology."
Jared glanced at Nicole. His intention of approaching Nicole during the last time was too apparent, and as such,
Jared still suspected that Ike had other intentions.
However, Nicole proceeded to give it some thought and said, "We will have to do mass production at the end of the
project. I'm afraid Terry would not be able to manage everything on his own. Since Ike is also an expert in this field,
we could consider him."
