Julia glanced at Marjorie hoping to get an answer from her, but Marjorie just shrugged her shoulders. "What's that?"
"I'm quite interested in your robot creation. How about I fund the creation of your robot with a note after the race is over, I want the design of the robot. We can do a long-term, mutually beneficial business."
"Haha... Since when did Arlo company engaged in the business of technology and robotics? Sorry, I declined your offer. We already have enough funding for this project. See you," Julia walked ahead of Yusra.
"You better consider it again. This is a great opportunity and it will not come a second time. The prize of the race was not too tempting. You're gonna regret this, Julia!" yusra shouted trying to convince Julia.
"If you insist too much, then meet Flors. Because they're also interested in our science project."
"Flor's Breakup? How could they have a relationship with one of the biggest tech and robotics companies in the capital?" said Marjorie while glancing at Julia who was getting away.
"That's where it might be. He was just looking for an excuse to reject me. While it's true that the Flors company is interested in their robot designs, it's nothing, who wants the robot designs to be Lady Blue."
"Lady Blue?! What's Lady Blue doing with the robot?" I thought Marjorie, but she didn't really care about it because she knew how Lady Blue might want to hurt her friend.
...⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜...
A few days passed. The design of their robot is almost finished, just doing the expansion here and there then their robot is ready to be tested as a whole in case there is a problem. The race is held another week, precisely on the second day of the cultural festival.
"Hey, Sean! Where you going?" call Alwen before Sean walks out the door.
"As usual, go to the lab to continue the robot design we made."
"Gee... You look really excited about making those robots or because you're on a team with Julia?"
"Yes that's the reason too. But I couldn't get any closer to him because there was Julius. But it's okay as long as I continue to interact with him alone is enough. I'm gonna show Julia my prowess. He must have fallen for me and you lost, "pointed Sean to Alwen.
"How could you think that? It's not certain she'll like you."
"You rarely talk to him. There's no way she can like a stranger like you."
"We'll see later. I actually prepared a special gift for him. Julia would have liked it."
"What gift are you prepared for? Don't tell me it's a doll 'cause I'm sure she won't like it."
"No, of course not."
"I'm very curious. How about this. Right on the day of the cultural festival we express our feelings for her. Whoever is accepted, he is the winner."
"Agreed."
Sean and Alwen shake hands as a form of their agreement. Then they both came out of the special dorm building. At the top of the stairs Rica and Delfa had heard the conversation from the two men.
"Julia! Julia! Julia! It was always that lowly girl they were talking about. I really don't understand, what can they like about that girl? Even Yusra was following along," Rica grumbled.
"I don't understand either. Julia is just a con girl! No one can be trusted by him."
"But they're up to betting to get it."
"What would happen if Julia knew this?" an evil smile was slowly painted on Delfa's face.
"Yes, we know that Sean, Alwen and Yusra are currently betting to get Julia's heart. Even their bets are not playful, each of their favorite cars. That's why they did so many ways to attract Julia's attention. And they seem to have started to move forward again. For now Julia may not have feelings for any of them but do not know on the day of the cultural festival later."
"Honestly, I still don't understand what you're talking about."
"Look Rica. Think carefully. It's about a woman's feelings. If Julia knows that she is just a betting ingredient, imagine how hurt Julia will be. Even though they really love Julia, they still get sick. Which heart of a woman would be toyed with like that."
"Oohs... You're really smart, Delfa. You are my best friend. Right on the day of the cultural festival we will reveal everything to Julia. Let's see how broken that lowly girl's heart is."
"But the cultural festival is still a week away. I'm gonna get back at the girl now."
"What if we just wreck the science project?that way he won't be able to run the race. His heart will be broken again."
"the way? Do you want to steal the blueprints from their robot designs? Without the blueprints, of course, they wouldn't be able to continue making the robot."
"I'm confused, you ask or even give advice. But I like that idea. When they get back, we infiltrate their lab and steal the blueprints."
Day changes night. Julius, Julia, Nisa and Sean have just returned from the lab. They deliberately linger there just to relax for a moment. The door of the room was locked and the four of them stepped back to their dormitories. At exactly 21:19 Delfa and Rica launched their action. With the key that Rica managed to get from Sean after crashing into him, they smoothly infiltrated the room. Right on the table is a computer. Delfa turned on the computer and began searching for the blueprints of the robot's design. Just for a moment fiddling with the computer screen, suddenly a warning sign appears and then accompanied by the inscription 'Error' repeatedly until it meets the computer screen. Delfa was very surprised by what happened. He tried to fix it but still couldn't.
"What happened Delfa?"
"Don't know. Suddenly the computer was in this error. Looks like Julia put some kind of computer virus to protect the blueprints."
"Yes, leave it. We better get out of here."
Just about to get out. Suddenly they were shocked by the arrival of three men dressed in all black and wearing glasses. Two of the three men immediately arrested Rica and Delfa.
"Hey! What-what's this?!! Release us," Rica snapped as she rebelled in disengagement, as well as Delfa.
"Boss, we've caught the intruder" the man in front of Rica and Delfa told his boss through Handsfree.
"Areally who are you?!!" ask Delfa in a high tone.
"Let go! I am the daughter of the Pinkston family. You'll regret this!" oceh Rica kept shouting.
