Chapter 1049
"Professor Winkler, there''s another issue with the program and I wish to discuss it with you."
"What''s the issue?"
"It''s about the endurance" Her words were cut short by M.
"Imogen, why don''t we meet in person to discuss it?"
"Meet in person?" Imogen asked, surprised.
"Well, it''s the weekend. Are you busy today?"
"No, not at all."
"Great. I''ll send a driver to pick you up. Just give me your address."
Imogen felt ill at ease and quickly declined. "No need for the trouble. I''ll take a taxi. Please send me your address, Professor Winkler." "Alright," M replied warmly.
After hanging up, M sent Imogen the address. Imogen took a taxi and arrived half an hourter at a gatedmunity of standalone vis.
The driver remarked, "These vis are for important national figures. I can''t go inside. You''ll have to get off here."
Imogen got out and looked at the tall, sturdy walls and the strict security at the gate. Inside the residential area lived national officials and champions. It was natural for exceptional scientists like M to reside there as well.
She sent M a message. Shortly after, M came out to greet her personally.
"Imogen," M said with a friendly smile. Despite being able to clear her entry with a phone call, M came out to meet Imogen out of respect and fondness.
"Hello, Professor Winkler," Imogen greeted with a nod.
M took her hand and said, "Come on, let''s go to my ce."
Imogen asked worriedly, "Will I be disturbing your family?"
M replied, "No, my son doesn''t live with me, and my husband is busy at work."
"What does your husband work as?"
"He''s a government employee."
"I see," Imogen responded.
Seeing that Imogen didn''t probe further, M added, "My son has his own business."
"He must be very talented," Imogen said politely.
M sighed, "It''s quite worrisome, actually."
"Why?"
"He won''t get a girlfriend or even a boyfriend..."
Imogen forced a smile in embarrassment upon hearing M''s statement.
They chatted as they walked, soon arriving at Sudvi.
The Sudvi neighborhood was filled with flowers, among them were Lupines.
Wealthy people rarely nted these flowers. As they passed through the garden, Imogen asked curiously, "Professor Winkler, do you like Lupines?"
A gentle smile graced M''s lips. "My husband thinks I do."
"He nted them?"
"Yes."
"He''s really good to you."
M smiled happily and nodded in agreement.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
As they entered Sudvi, Imogen noticed that the living room walls were lined with books, packed tightly together. She was surprised to see that scientists were inseparable from their books, even in their daily lives.
The two of them went inside and immediately headed to the study to address the program issue on theputer. After a long session of research and discussion, Imogen
finally resolved the problem.
M invited her to stay for a meal. Imogen sat on the living room couch, looking around at the house''syout.
With a te of freshly cut fruit in her hands, M approached. "Imogen, have some fruit."
Imogen sat up straight and politely remarked, "Thanks, Professor Winkler."
M, pleased, sat down and gazed at Imogen with obvious fondness in her eyes. She sat across from ker and stated, "Imogen, you should visit more often when you have time."
"Sure," Imogen replied courteously.
"I''ll introduce you to my son when there''s a chance," M added.
Imogen smiled awkwardly as she ate the fruit. "I''m married."
M quickly rified, "Don''t misunderstand, I don''t mean to set you up. I just think you two could be friends."
