"Yeah."
Nicole nodded without a trace of joy on her face.
"You are really a blessing to Riddle Corporation.It seems that Mr.Harmon appreciates you very
much.Ordinary people can't take part in the research and development of such high precision work
since he has so many talented people under him." Sean looked at Nicole with envy.
"It is not as exaggerated as you say.I have no interest at all.Since you like it so much, I might as well
talk to Mr.Harmon and let you join the project."
"Stop joking.You are the one whom Mr.Harmon values."
Sean would not dare to overstep his boundaries.
"Me? I think you're the one who's joking.I'll be honest with you; there are a lot of things waiting for me,
and I really don't have time to get involved." Nicole looked at Sean with a serious face.
"What about Mr.Harmon? I'm afraid he won't let you go so easily? " Sean said what Nicole was really
feeling inside.
"That is the thing.I'm in a predicament, not knowing how to reply to him."
Nicole's beautiful face was filled with worries.It was the first time she was worried about something.
"It is really a delicate matter.If you don't reply with care, it will affect the friendship between you two."
"But don't fret.Just follow your heart.Don't let every day of your life be spent with melancholy.It isn't
worth it."
Sean patiently assured her, hoping his sister would be cheerful every day.
"You're right; follow my heart.You get busy.I'm leaving." Nicole said goodbye to him and got up to leave.
"Take care.I won't see you off."
Sean waved his hand at her.
After leaving Sean's office, Nicole drove to Martin's laboratory.
On the plane earlier, she had received a message from Martin saying that he had some good news to
share with her.
Martin was in the lab doing the final tests.He wanted to share the best results with the people he
trusted and liked the most today.
Nicole knocked on the door, but Martin did not open it as quickly as before.It took him a few moments
to answer the door.
"Nicole, you're here?" Martin's face was beaming.
He looked haggard, but his spirits were high.
"What are you doing? Taking so long for you to open the door for me." Nicole looked at Martin, who had
a strange smile on his face.
"Come on in.I want to show you something good."
Martin mysteriously pulled Nicole inside.
She wanted to shake Martin's hand away, but seeing how excited he was, she did not want to kill the
buzz, as he must have been in the lab for too long.
Nicole let him pull at her sleeve and brought her in front of a row of instruments.
Martin looked at the instrument and said, "See? This is my gift to you."
Nicole was startled, wondering why he gave her a gift for no reason.
"Has it been long since you have had any rest?" Nicole was concerned about his health.
The Beacon project would be ruined if he fell sick.
"Yes, but that's not the point.Take a look inside."
Martin pulled Nicole into the instrument and pointed to the glass enclosure.
Nicole followed his finger and looked inside; it was a circuit board.It just looked like a circuit board to
her.
"It is a circuit board.Don't tell me that is what you have been working on all these days."
She could not believe that a board that small had tortured Martin like this.
"Yes, I have been working on it all this time."
"What about The Beacon? Have you given up on The Beacon?" Nicole asked in puzzlement.
Martin smiled at her.
"This is The Beacon."
Nicole looked at him in confusion and then at the circuit board inside the instrument and pointed at it.
"This is The Beacon? It doesn't look like one."
"This is the heart of The Beacon.With this chip, The Beacon can be activated and become the most
meaningful Beacon."
