Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 84

Liesel sat in her office chair. Her black-framed glasses conveniently hid the wound on her forehead.

On someone else, they might have looked bookish or stiff.

But perhaps it was her striking beauty that made even something as simple as black-framed glasses become a stylish accessory.

She adjusted them slightly on her nose. She had cried the day before, so her eyes were still red and slightly puffy despite the cold compress she had applied. The coldness in her gaze seemed to have softened somewhat.

"I don't have time for these trivial guessing games. If you have something to say, say it. If not, you can leave whenever you want."

She was so cold and distant, as she had raised her defenses once again.

Even though Elijah had told her he was nothing like Jacob and urged her not to treat him the same, she hadn't taken his words to heart.

She refused to be hurt again. As long as she didn't invest her emotions, she wouldn't be vulnerable to pain. That, she knew all too well.

So, she didn't even give him a chance.

"You're being so harsh with me, Ms. Sharp," Elijah quipped. He took off his sunglasses and leaned close to her. With both hands braced against the desk, he bent over to look at her face.

"You've got glasses now, and you're still so stunning. What can I do? The more beautiful you are, the harder it is for me to let you go."

Elijah stayed close. His gaze drifted to the wound on her forehead.

His gaze flickered for a moment before he smiled and said, "Can I see your hand? After all, I'm the one who bandaged it. I should check how it's healing."

Liesel tightened her grip slightly. "That's not necessary."

As she moved to pull her hand away, Elijah was quicker. He caught her wrist and pulled it closer to him.

Elijah's eyes glinted with amusement, a smile dancing at the corners of his lips. "I've prepared the documents you wanted."

He handed her a file containing the data on holography. "This is the latest chain code we've developed. It allows people to wear the most convenient 3D glasses and access various videos and games.

"To cut costs, I've been experimenting with new materials, bringing the production cost of the glasses down to about ten bucks. Of course, that's the lowest-quality version.

"But we're not just aiming for those glasses. We're researching holographic pods. We aim to go beyond simply immersing people in 3D. We want to create a truly immersive experience. That's the real technological revolution."

As Elijah talked about the project, his eyes lit up. It was clear he had a genuine passion for it.

Liesel flipped through the documents and saw that the 3D glasses had already reached a prototype stage.

When she reached the section on the research requirements, she noticed a particular string of code. Her gaze sharpened as she turned to her laptop and opened the data network.
