The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1239

Dane was lost in thought when James got up from the couch, grabbing his jacket. "I've got to head out, Professor."

Dane snapped back to reality, glancing at the clock. "Leaving already? Can't you stay a bit longer? I was hoping to show you the new batch of equipment parts in the storeroom."

James nodded, saying, "I've got something to handle, maybe another day."

Dane didn't push further. The contract was signed, so he wasn't worried about James backing out. "Alright, we'll catch up later."

"Sure thing," James replied, and quickly left the office.

Once James was out of sight, Dane turned back to the contract in his hand. After a moment, he looked over at his assistant. "Let Dr. Yang know we're scrapping the Level II plan. We're going straight to Level I."

The assistant, a bit taken aback, looked at Dane. "Isn't the Level I plan supposed to be really tough, according to the system's evaluation?"

Dane just smiled and shook his head. "That's because nobody could handle the core construction of the submarine until now."

Thinking about James's capabilities, the assistant seemed reassured and nodded. "I'll talk to Dr. Yang right away."

"Off you go."

Dane waved him off.
