✰*ೃ Chase's Pov ✰*ೃ
in the common area. I was coaching a student while Bree was coaching Leo and Blake in some training activities.
When I hear Mr Davenport walk in saying "Heads up, we got a visitor coming."
"Is it a government agent, coming to take us away?" Adam says distressedly. I frown "Our secrets been out for a year. Why would they take us away now?" I ask "Let's just say, I've done some things." Adam says and walks away. To be quite honest I don't even want to know.
"It's my chief scientist, Dr. Ryan." Mr Davenport says and turns to Bree and Leo "He is by far the smartest man I have ever worked with." He says--Wait what?-- I gasps and pointedly clear my throat "Ahem!"
"Oh, you are right. I'm sorry." Mr Davenport pats my shoulder "I am the smartest man I have ever worked with." He chuckles and the look of relief on my face disappears.
"Dr. Ryan was head of his class at MIT. And he's been Davenport Industries' employee of the month twice! That's never happened. Well, except, of course for me." Mr Davenport smiles.
"You named yourself employee of the month at your own company?" Leo asks Mr Davenport nods "I think you love you a little too much." He says "With all due respect Mr Davenport but that's worthless" Blake says.
"Do you have a company?" He asks her "No" she replies "Have you ever been employee of the month?" He asks "No but I have been named student of the month. Three times," Blake says smugly. I smirk at her.
"Was it Chase?" Mr. Davenport points at me. "Yeah?" Blake frowns and Mr Davenport chuckles "Oh honey. that's worthless" He says. He doesn't believe it, but I appointed her because of her merit, deserved, not because I wanted to.
"And It's not because I love myself. It's because I'm better than everyone else." Mr Davenport responds to Leo.
The hydraloop opens and Dr. Ryan steps out "Hey, hey! Wassup, dudes?" He greets Mr Davenport "Ladies dudes" He tells Bree and Blake.
"This is your esteemed chief scientist?"Bree questions I tilt my head, not impressed.
"And employee of the month. Got the parking space and everything. I don't drive, but my mom uses it when she picks me up." Dr Ryan says "Your mother?" Blake says.
"That's right, twenty-eight, still living rent-free in my parent's basement. Jealous?" He says. Blake presses her lips together "Oh it's so obvious like that" she says sarcastically.
She and Bree walk away. Mr Davenport guides us to the screen in the room "Dr. Ryan is here to construct and test Davenport Industries new space elevator."
I gasp indignantly "Space elevator?!" I exclaim "You see, this why people are out of shape. You should be building space stairs." Adam says, I scratch my forehead and my breathing quickens making my frustration evident.
"It's a highly advanced transport that climbs a tether all the way to our space stations. Since it's held up by gravity." Dr Ryan begins to explain the project I have been developing for the past year!!!
I breathe harder, wanting to punch the wall "we can resupply without ever using a rocket." Dr Ryan finishes the explanation and sees me huff angrily "Chase, you look confused an/or constipated. Do you have a question?" He asks--Yes. Can you please not stick your nose in my project!!?
"Yes! Why is he working on this?" I point to Dr Ryan while addressing Mr Davenport angrily "The space elevator was my project. I've been working on it for years."
"Yes, but I had to pass it off so you could focus on being a mentor." Mr Davenport explains "Don't worry, Dr. Ryan's been working off your research." He adds. I try to express more indignation but I think that is not possible.
