Reborn Without You (Amelia and Christopher) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231

Mr. Hale had reserved a private room.

The moment they all settled down, he cut straight to the chase.

“We need a space satellite by this year. We’re short of a chief engineer.”

He tapped on the table and looked deeply at Amelia.

“You’re good at satellite orbit determination. Join the team for this. Jasper, you can be the chief engineer. Aim to launch the satellite into orbit by the end of the year.”

Amelia’s heart was beating fast, still trying to grasp what Mr. Hale just said.

Mr. Hale was asking her to…

“Professor Hale, I…”

She gripped the teacup tightly in her hands.

Working in the aerospace industry didn’t feel pressurizing, but the space industry required precise and accurate calculations and much more effort.

“What?” Mr. Hale stared at her. “Do you have questions?”

“I haven’t touched space work for a long time. I’m afraid I might be quite rusty.”

“Since when did you become so lacking in confidence? Jasper will take the lead.”

Mr. Hale picked up his teacup and took a sip from it.

“This isn’t something major. Our country launches many satellites into space each year. Jasper will lead you in this project and get you up to speed with things and familiarize yourself,” he said thoughtfully. “Your specialization is in space flight. You might one day launch a rocket into space as a chief engineer, for all you know.”

Mr. Hale had always had high expectations for Amelia.

“Of course, you two should continue focusing on Nova Nine. Mia still needs to care for her child. Evelyn looks like a smart child. I can help you take care of her if you don’t have time. I heard that she’s been taking math enrichment classes recently?”

Amelia nodded. “Yes, she has.”

“Bring her to Institute 511 and I’ll teach her. Focus on working on the satellite. But because of your identity, the project will be under the name of Jasper and Institute 511. Do you have issues with that?”

He had helped Amelia resolve her main concern.

Amelia didn’t have any objections at all. In fact, she felt honored beyond measure. She never expected the professor to hold her in such high regard and felt so thankful for that.

Many students with master’s or doctoral degrees didn’t even stand a chance to participate in a satellite project.

This was a great opportunity for her to gain valuable experience.

Of course, she would seize it without a second thought.

She stood up and bowed deeply to Mr. Hale.

“Thank you, Professor, for giving me another chance. And thank you for being willing to teach me. I won’t disappoint you.”

Mr. Hale scoffed at how respectful she was being.

“Alright, now. Let’s eat. Just remember not to embarrass me.”

Mr. Hale picked up a spoon to grab some food.

“You’re preparing to take the post-graduate examinations and write your thesis. You’re also needed at work, and Institute 511 needs you as well. Just tell me if you can’t handle the workload, and I’ll get you a few assistants.

A lot of effort was needed to handle all the details of the projects.

But with all the hard work came promotion and achievements.

Amelia nodded.

“I’ll make the necessary arrangements for work. I’ll be at Nova Nine on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and at Institute 511 on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I’ll leave Sunday to prepare my thesis and the exam.”

She could squeeze everything into a 7-day work week, but it sounded exhausting to Jasper.

He put his spoon down and said, “Nova Nine is at the later stages of its projects. Just come over one day during the week. I’ll be keeping tabs on the projects, so you don’t have to worry.”

Amelia said with a smile, “It’s fine, Jasper. I won’t shy away from asking for your help if I really can’t take it.”

After the meal, Amelia went to the washroom to freshen herself up and bumped into Lucia on her way out.

Lucia’s face fell the moment she saw Amelia.

“What are you doing here?” Lucia demanded. “Who told you that we’re here today, or are you stalking us?”

Her tone was haughty, and she warned, “We’re celebrating the successful opening of Christopher and Nicole’s new company. You’d better not have any tricks up your sleeve and leave as soon as you can!”
