Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 296

Over the next few days, Xavier was barely at home, for he had been spending time with his physicist friend.

As for Winnie, she naturally didn’t stay idle. Instead, she got in touch with her friend from the Livingsfill Physics Research Center to get a better picture of the situation.

Unfortunately, her friend was bogged down by recent problems of her own. Therefore, Winnie could barely get in contact with her, and even when she did, they didn’t get to talk in-depth.

Just like that, Xavier finally received some good news on the fifth day—a member of the Livingsfill Physics Research Center was in the process of resigning. She wasn’t a citizen of Yartran and had handed in her resignation letter, which was awaiting approval.

With her departure, a vacancy was not only created, but the project she was working on also needed an immediate replacement. The situation consequently created the perfect opportunity for Andrew’s girlfriend.

Nonetheless, replacing the leaving staff was easier said than done. Xavier’s classmate had mentioned that Andrew’s girlfriend still needed to take a written test, go for an interview, and sit through a final evaluation before she could be accepted by the research center.

To obtain such an opportunity was so difficult that even Wilhelm had failed to do so previously.

Thus, when Xavier and Winnie went to see him to discuss the matter, Wilhelm was naturally surprised by the development.

He hadn’t expected Xavier to move so quickly and to be so lucky as to have one of the researchers at the research center resign.

Still, the matter wasn’t as easy as Xavier imagined it would be.

Firstly, they had to inform Andrew’s girlfriend to make the necessary preparations. Secondly, they had to make an appointment with the research center, which was where the problem lay.

The physicist who had been liaising with Xavier’s classmate passed away all of a sudden.

As a result, everything they had discussed previously was delayed, on top of the fact that they had lost the opportunity to even present their proposal.

Due to that, Xavier fell into a long silence.

Not only were all his earlier efforts wasted, but he only had half the amount of time previously available.

At the sight of the gloomy Xavier, Winnie comforted him, “This always happens when we collaborate with others. Relationships are fraught with uncertainty, and no one can predict when an accident will occur. Therefore, depending on ourselves is still the most reliable choice.”

“I know, but I don’t want to admit defeat just like that.” Xavier’s soul was still brimming with defiance. “I’m sure there’s another way.”

With that, he picked up his jacket and prepared to head out.

However, Winnie held him back. “You should get some rest. Have you forgotten about my friend? I’ll get in touch with her.”

Before Xavier had a chance to protest, Winnie had already given her friend a call.

When the call finally connected after ringing a long time, Winnie got straight to the point.

“Lisanne, there’s something important I have to talk to you in person about. Are you free? I would like to meet you… Yes, the earlier the better… All right, I’ll see you soon.”

Upon ending the call, Winnie waved her phone at Xavier’s face. “Done. I’ve already made an appointment with my friend. Since you must be exhausted after the past few days, you should rest at home and wait for my updates.”
