Chapter 460 - 454: The Competition

Chloe Sinclair went to Jasper Shaw’s company after taking a day to rest.

Jasper Shaw was in the middle of a morning meeting, but he rushed out of the conference room the moment he heard Chloe Sinclair had arrived.

As soon as he walked through the main entrance, he saw Chloe Sinclair sitting quietly on the sofa.

The man’s heart softened. "What brings you here?" he asked.

He hadn’t expected her to be back until today.

"We finished our mission ahead of schedule, so we came back early."

Chloe Sinclair got up from the sofa and sidled up to him. Her dark eyes held a hint of a smile as she teased, "Miss me?"

A faint lemon fragrance wafted around the tip of Jasper Shaw’s nose, and in an instant, all his fatigue vanished completely.

"I did."

The man answered honestly.

Then, a thought occurred to him. "Are you going upstairs to see Aaron Archer?"

Chloe Sinclair nodded. "To see how the project is coming along."

Jasper Shaw mulled it over for a moment. "He’s upstairs. Go on up."

"Okay."

When Chloe Sinclair went upstairs, she saw that quite a few team members had arrived, all of whom she had interviewed before.

They all greeted her when they saw her approach.

Chloe Sinclair took a look around the lab. Seeing that the experiment’s progress was about what she had expected, she didn’t say anything.

After a quick look around, Chloe Sinclair left the lab.

With the New Year just over, Jasper Shaw was incredibly busy.

The two of them just had a simple meal together before Chloe Sinclair left.

The start of the school semester was in two days, and Chloe Sinclair still had to get her things in order.

But she suddenly had a nagging feeling that she had forgotten something.

But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t recall what it was.

Then, that very afternoon after Chloe Sinclair got back, Shawn Styles suddenly came to visit.

Chloe Sinclair: "..."

’I remember now!’

Before Shawn Styles could even speak, Chloe Sinclair was already apologizing profusely. "I’m so sorry, I... I forgot again."

Shawn Styles had given her a ticket to the Winter Games, but she had completely forgotten about it because of Nina Sinclair’s appearance on that variety show.

So, she felt incredibly guilty as she looked at Shawn Styles.

However, Shawn Styles wasn’t the least bit angry.

"That’s not why I’m here."

Shawn Styles said, "I came to thank you."

A confused expression immediately appeared on Chloe Sinclair’s face.

Shawn Styles quickly explained, "All the athletes who competed in this year’s Winter Games won gold, silver, or bronze medals. Next year, we’ll be participating in the Olympics abroad."

The sports team was unstoppable this time, taking first place in the track and field events.

Earning enough points to qualify for the Olympics is the lifelong dream of every professional athlete.

A century ago, Zenthia’s first foray into the Olympics ended in failure. However, nearly a hundred years have passed, and Zenthia is no longer the nation it once was.

Track and field has always been a weak spot for Asian athletes, but at this year’s domestic Winter Games, he and his teammates all shattered their personal records.

Even if they don’t win any medals at the Olympics next year, they are determined to ensure Asian faces are seen on the track in the finals.

Shawn Styles didn’t just want to prove his own abilities; more than that, he hoped to bring value to his country.

Of course, Chloe Sinclair understood the meaning behind Shawn Styles’s words.

"If nothing special comes up next year, I’ll definitely be there to watch."

In her past life, she had been far from this patriotic, and she had never paid much attention to the Olympics.

But in the decade that followed, the development of the internet greatly fostered a collective sense of national pride.

Over the past decade, Zenthia had used its formidable strength to prove its place in the world.
