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.
