Craving 55

Then, a bit embarrassed, she added, “Sorry, Mr. Barton, I haven’t 

officially interviewed at your company yet, so I didn’t recognize 

you just now.” 

Back in school, she had heard of Reginald’s reputation, but 

Reginald only supervised PhD and graduate students, focusing 

on his own research projects. 

There had been two public lectures, but by the time she heard 

about them and went to attend, even the entrance was packed 

with people. 

So, she had never had the chance to formally meet Reginald. 

Reginald nonchalantly shook her hand back, smiling as he said, 

“It’s fine.” 

After letting go, Reginald glanced around Harriet and asked her, 

“Alone?” 

Harriet smiled, “My assistant is busy with something else.” 

Reginald then said, “Let’s go to the restaurant together.” 

Chapter55 

“Sure.” 

It was rare to run into Reginald, and even rarer to have a chance 

to chat with such an expert in the field, so Harriet went to the 

restaurant with him. 

Besides, after leaving the Townsend Group, she would be 

joining Galaxy Innovations. 

At lunch, employees sat in groups of three or five, and everyone 

at each table knew each other. 

Harriet didn’t know many people, and Reginald didn’t know 

many either, though many knew him. When others came over to 

greet him, Reginald ignored them and directly sent them away. 

As a researcher, Reginald didn’t like crowds. There were very 

few people he enjoyed talking to or found worth talking to. 

At his company, people were always begging him for 

technology or to collaborate. 

So, at the large dining table, only he and Harriet remained. 

Taking the soup Reginald served her, Harriet thanked him and 

said, “Mr. Barton, I might need another half month to leave the 

Townsend Group, so my start date at Galaxy Innovations may

be delayed a bit.” 

Reginald smiled and replied, “No problem, just come over when 

you’re done.” 

Harriet smiled as well, “Thank you, Mr. Barton.” 

After taking a sip of soup, Harriet asked him, “I didn’t see you at the conference in the past two years. Why did you come this 

year?” 

Reginald served Harriet a piece of rib and said, “The higher-ups gave me a task, so I had to take a few days to come over.” 

Some people attended the conference by invitation, some tried every way to get an invitation letter, but Reginald was pressured by the government to show up and give these companies a 

chance to meet and talk. 

Reginald usually worked with military-industrial enterprises, such as guidance systems for cruise missiles, building communication centers, early warning systems, and so on. 

Some of his company’s R&D projects were in collaboration with research institutes, while others were independent. 

It was all very complicated, so he rarely worked with private 

Chapter55 

companies. 

Listening to Reginald, Harriet smiled and said, “For you, Mr. 

Barton, it really is a waste of time.” 

While eating, Harriet continued, “Mr. Barton, I heard Galaxy 

Innovations has been tackling wireless power issues recently.” 

Reginald nodded and replied unhurriedly, “Yes, we’re 

researching wireless power.” 

“Although there is wireless power on the market now, it’s not 

widely used. The reason is that during wireless charging, too 

much energy is wasted, and a lot of electricity is lost to the 

environment.” 

“So Galaxy Innovations has been researching this in the past 

two years, trying to see how to reduce power waste, and even 

find ways to absorb and utilize electrical currents from the 

environment.” 

When talking about work, Reginald seemed to shine, not at all 

like a man in his thirties-he was still full of energy. 

Reginald spoke earnestly, and Harriet listened with full 

attention.

Not far away at the main dining table, Kelsey had been 

watching Harriet and Reginald for a long time. Seeing them. 

chatting happily, with only the two of them at the big table, 

Kelsey patted Ellsworth and pointed at them, saying, “Ells, is 

that Hara?” 

“Is the one eating with Hara Reginald from Galaxy Innovations? 

Did he come to the conference too? How does Hara know him?” 

Kelsey fired off a string of questions. Ellsworth followed her 

gaze and saw Harriet listening intently to Reginald, her eyes 

shining. 

On this side, Ellsworth’s expression darkened. 

He hadn’t expected her to know Reginald, let alone get along 

with him so well. 

After watching Harriet and Reginald for a while with a cold gaze, 

Ellsworth withdrew his eyes and continued talking to Darrick. 

Meanwhile, Reginald and Harriet were still chatting happily. For 

the afternoon meeting, they sat together at the back. 

Reginald wasn’t interested in business conferences, so while 

the big shots were giving speeches and discussing plans, he 

was dozing off.

Next to him, Harriet noticed that while others were networking 

and talking about making money, Reginald was sleeping, and she couldn’t help but smile. 

Researchers really do have their own personalities.
