Chapter 274
When Jimmy saw her, he was a little surprised. “Miss Miller?”
Freya nodded. “Hello.”
Seeing her, Jimmy smiled lightly. “Miss Miller, are you here to work at the base?”
Treya shook her head. “No, my professor asked me to come and help with something.”
Upon hearing this, Jimmy paused.
There were only a few people in the base who had the authority to bring in external personnel, and
He quickly realized that Freya and Johnny had a close relationship, though they weren’t a couple. He immediately connected the dots. “Your professor… is it Mr. Nolan?”
Freya nodded. “Yes.” She was really just like Johnny, both students of Nolan.
He hadn’t thought about it in this direction before. But now that he knew she was also a student of Nolan, it made sense why certain things had happened.
For example, why at the previous banquet, Johnny had emphasized that the latest project developed by Cole was largely thanks to her; or why at his grandfather’s art exhibition and the political and business seminar that Rex had attended, his father had shown so much interest in her….
His father might have already known she was Nolan’s student. But if she was just a student of Nolan, it wouldn’t explain why his father paid so much attention to her. Perhaps-
As he thought about the two new projects that Cole had launched, which had caused a stir, everything suddenly became clear to him.
He looked at her, momentarily speechless. Freya appeared calm and reserved, neither arrogant nor restless.
From just her outward appearance, he would never have guessed that someone so young had already achieved such outstanding accomplishments.
After a long pause, they sat down in the cafeteria. Jimmy asked, “How long are you planning to stay at the base?”
“I’m not sure, it depends on my professor’s plans,” Freya said.
Then, remembering that their last meeting had been about two or three months ago, she added, “It’s rare to run into you when I’m outside. Do you usually have a busy training schedule?”
Jimmy replied, “Yeah, and pilots don’t get many breaks.”
Since Jimmy didn’t have much time to eat, he chatted with Freya for a while before excusing himself to attend to something else.
The next time Freya saw Jimmy was two days later during the manned–unmanned combat trial.
The so–called manned–unmanned combat was an aerial battle between a fighter jet controlled by AI and one piloted by a human.
Once the trial ended and the data was collected, Freya and the other researchers began modifying algorithms and analyzing the new data based on the battlefield situation.
When Jimmy entered the department where Freya was working, he saw her and the other researchers busy at work.
He had been there for a while before Freya finally noticed him.
She paused for a moment, nodded at him, and then buried her head back in her work. Freya stayed at the base for nearly ten days before leaving.
She left in the early hours of the morning and arrived home just as it was getting light. As soon as she opened her phone, she was met with nearly twenty missed calls.
