Chapter 420
“Do you think someone comfortable taking on high–paying tasks would be willing to work for others?” Romeo shot back.
True, folks took on tasks online because they can choose their own hours, not chained to a fixed work schedule.
“Plus, he cracked the existing system and set up a new one in less than half a day. With his skills and capabilities, why would he be content working with the rest of the team, stuck in a lab all day?”
He can create a new system by himself. What did he need others for? Would they just get in his way?
Carl admitted this made sense, but letting go of such an expert was a shame!
This guy was definitely beyond their research team!
If they could recruit such talent, it would be a huge boost for the future development of their group.
“How about we give him a cut of the profits? As for working hours, he can come and go as he pleases! As long as he can help us build a more powerful system or invest in other research?”
“Instead, why not just give him another hundred million to set up a whole new system.”
“Sure.”
“This new system is crucial for us, and it’s better if our people research it.”
No matter how powerful the other party was, if they had ulterior motives in the future, they’ll be the ones to suffer.
“I get it.” Carl reluctantly let go of this impractical thought.
After ending the cali, Romeo worked on his computer before heading to his bedroom half an hour later.
“Bella, are you asleep yet?”
He knocked on the door, but there was no response.
He wasn’t sure if the girl had covered herself with the blanket since it’s summer and the air conditioning might give her a cold if it’s too cool.
With that in mind, he opened the door to find the room quiet, the breeze lifting the curtains, and the girl lying on the bed like a beautiful painting.
Roméo suddenly wished time could stand still as the peaceful scene in front of him was how life should be.
The white sheets made Arabella seem like she was in a snowfield. She looked beautiful and petite on the large bed.
Walking over gently, Romeo covered her with the blanket when suddenly her phone fell out from under it.
Just as he picked it up, he noticed the page was still open. Clearly, the little girl had fallen asleep while playing on her phone.
The user name on the profile page of her phone read: Alex.
Arabella was Alex?
The task bar on the page showed a task worth a hundred million was completed an hour ago. And the specific completion time? She only took thirty–two minutes. And she did it after a date, in her spare time!
Carl was initially amazed, thinking she took half a day because their team took months and still couldn’t crack it.
But it turned out Arabella didn’t take half a day, but thirty–two minutes!
In just thirty–two minutes, Arabella solved a problem troubling their team for months!
If Carl knew, he’d probably be in shock, even questioning his life.
Romeo’s gaze fell on Arabella’s fresh and flawless face. So, this was another identity of Arabella’s. Carl suggested recruiting this hacker into their team, and having her work for them.
A slight smile curled on Romeo’s lips. How many more identities did this little girl have that he didn’t know about?
Each of her identities was unexpected and surprising to him.
Gently covering her with the blanket, Romeo bent down and kissed her soft lips..
“Rest well.”
Romeo’s gaze lingered on her repeatedly as if he couldn’t get enough. After a while, he locked the phone, put it on the bedside table, and quietly left.
Waking up after who knew how long, Arabella found the clock pointing to half past four in the afternoon. She had slept very soundly and comfortably by Romeo’s side.
