It was his first time tasting food.

Robert's eyes widened, and his long eyelashes drooped, covering the barely discernible glimmer in his brown pupils.

Lucille was also hungry. She immediately began eating the moment she sat on the stool.

She bought a lot of food. There were all kinds of snacks covering the table.

While eating, she told Robert, "Don't just stand there. Have a taste."

Although she knew that Robert didn't need to eat at all, she still bought it. It was for the sake of allowing him to experience the world through taste so that he could finally taste something different after so many long and lonely years. Aside from that, after she finished eating, she was going to start working on the holographic game room. She couldn't push him too hard. She had to give him a source of comfort, too.

Robert certainly knew what Lucille was thinking, but he just smiled, which was warm and gentle on his lips.

After a while, almost all the food on the table was cleared out.

Lucille tidied up the table, then looked at Robert and said seriously, "Let's get to work."

Robert nodded.

Thus, for the next few hours, Lucille watched with her own eyes as Robert used an inconceivable speed, to construct all kinds of code for the holographic virtual world at an incredibly precise and efficient speed. He was totally focused, like a machine that didn't know what exhaustion was.

All the building blocks were engraved in his mind. He didn't need to think at all. Just like a computer, all he needed to do was retrieve the information from his memory.

Lucille was amazed by what she saw.

She looked away and began to devote herself to the development as well.

Time ticked by.

It was not until eight o'clock at night that Lucille stopped and stated, "Let's have a rest. That's all for today

Robert immediately answered, "Yes."

"It's getting late. I have to go. I'll come over early tomorrow."

Lucille patted Robert's shoulder and walked out.

It was already late when she returned to Jules Residence.

As soon as Lucille stepped into the villa, Culver came up to her.

"Please come to the dining room for dinner, Mrs. Collins."

"There's no need. I've already eaten."

Lucille immediately rejected him and walked upstairs.

However, she was blocked by Joseph at the stairs.

"What's the matter, Mr-Joseph?"

Looking at the girl's indifferent eyes, Joseph raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully, "Are you angry, Bobo

"Huh?"

What was there to be angry about?

Before Lucille could express her doubts, Joseph took the initiative to frankly state, "I'm not close to Fiona, nor are we childhood sweethearts. Our families are close, but I can't say that the two of us are close friends." Lucille remained silent.

"Bobo, what else do you want to know? I'll tell you," he continued.

She still didn't respond. After listening to his incessant talking, Lucille finally understood.

It turned out that Joseph had thought that she was indifferent to him and refused to have dinner with him because Fiona had shown up that morning. Thus, he thought that she was jealous.

"You're overthinking it," she replied.

Indifferently, she added, "I'm not angry, nor do I have any questions for you. I've always been very clear about the nature of our relationship. Just like what we agreed on at the beginning, we should never have any thoughts about each other aside from our agreement. You can rest assured, Mr. Joseph."

After that, Lucille walked past him and went upstairs.

She spent almost all her energy designing in the lab that day, so she didn't have time to think about anything else.

Lucille returned to her room and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
