Chapter 173

Can you actually pass out while eating a meal?

Was he pretending to be pitiful in front of her?

“Do you want to go take a look?” suddenly asked Aedan.

Iris came to her senses, shook her head, and said with a slight smile, “No need, his business has nothing to do with me.

“Just now you mentioned the issue of drug target screening, I didn’t quite understand, can you say it again?” She went back to the previous question.

Aedan nodded gently and they continued eating and chatting.

After discussing the two issues Iris was concerned about, the two of them left the restaurant. It was already close to 11 o’clock at night.

The restaurant was about to close.

Iris was supposed to pay, but in the end Aedan picked up the tab.

He said, “There’s no reason to make students pay.”

Well, since he only saw her as a student, Iris let him buy it.

Two research teams from Powell Pharmaceuticals had been working on the problem for over a month. But in the time it takes to have a meal, she got the solution from Aedan. Her gratitude towards Aedan was, of course, self–evident.

Of course, besides gratitude, there is more admiration for him.

Just like Aedan said, she was just his student, they only met a few times, no relationship at all.

But he was able to focus so attentively on the two complex questions she raised, and provide her with the perfect solutions.

Her admiration for Aedan was like a never–ending river.

“You solved two big problems for my friend, how can he thank you? How about letting him invite you to be the special consultant of their company’s R&D center?”

When we left the restaurant, Iris half–jokingly, half–seriously asked, what do you think about my new haircut?

If Aedan is willing to become a special consultant for Powell Pharmaceuticals, she is willing to pay whatever it takes.

“I’m afraid I can’t promise this,” Aedan refused bluntly.

Iris heard this and gave him a playful smile, “If the treatment is up to you, huh?”

Aedan was such a talented person, she really wanted to recruit him for Powell Pharmaceuticals.

Aedan laughed, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, “I’ll think about it.”

Iris realized that he was most likely just trying to brush her off, so she didn’t say anything more.

Two people had already arrived at Aedan’s black Land Rover. Aedan opened the passenger door for her and said, “I’ll take you back.”

Iris shook her head and pointed to the back of his car.

Later, Laurel was standing there, waiting for her.

“My friend came to pick me up,” she said, then smiled brightly at Aedan, “I really appreciate you, wasting so much of your time. How can I repay you?”

Aedan thought for a moment and said, “I’ll tell you once I figure it

out.”

Iris nodded, “Okay, it’s a deal.”

Aedan smirked, tilted his chin towards Laurel, then pulled out a cigarette and lighter from his coat pocket, saying, “You go ahead, I’ll smoke a cigarette.”

Iris looked at the cigarette and lighter in his hand, and couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “So Prof. Steele smokes too.”

The men around her didn’t smoke, so she didn’t like the smell of smoke

either.

Nathaniel didn’t smoke, Zayden didn’t smoke.

Before, Heriberto didn’t smoke either.

Aedan was about to light a cigarette when he heard that, he paused and looked at Iris.

Looking at her, the smile in his eyes deepened.

“How come the professor can’t smoke anymore?”

Realizing her overstep, Iris quickly waved her hand and said, “No, you go ahead, you go ahead!”

“I’m off now, see you next time, Prof. Steele,” she said, waving to Aedan as she turned around.
