I used to believe in science

Antoinette looked at her with no better expression, which made JJ feel that perhaps his persuasion had failed.After a while, she asked quietly, "Then how did you do it?"

"What?" JJ froze for a moment, not knowing what the other party was talking about.

So Antoinette asked again more clearly, "The cases we accept are all screened by you, JJ, so many files are sent to you every day, on what basis do you judge which case is more valuable?"

JJ smiled, and she touched Antoinette's hair almost lovingly and replied, "I can't decide which case is more valuable, I only judge where we can do our best."

In Antoinette's enlightened expression, JJ knew that some of her knots had been untied, maybe not all, but good enough.So she patted Antoinette, "We should go down, Rhett might be waiting for us."

When they went downstairs, Rhett was alone at the chess table, watching with the tablet that Antoinette had forgotten.When they walked in front of them, they hurriedly stood up and handed the tablet back to the owner.

Antoinette glanced at the content on the tablet. The verification formula that she had wiped half before had been completed and the result was calculated thoughtfully. She raised her head and raised one eyebrow and asked, "Have you read my blueprint?" ?”

"I thought you wanted to finish it." Rhett nodded ignorantly, and answered honestly.

The other side of Antoinette's eyebrows also raised, "Do you know how much you will pay for peeping at Stark's business secrets?"

For a moment, Reid's expression can be described as wonderful, from forced to surprised to wronged.

"Sorry……"

"I'm sorry, why do you need intellectual property protection laws?"

"..." JJ looked at the interaction between the two in silence, wanted to laugh, and couldn't hold it back anymore, so he burst out laughing, stepped forward and patted Reid's arm, and said with a smile, "Stop teasing him, Netty."

Antoinette laughed now too.

Rhett looked back and forth between the two of them with his eyes wide open, until Antoinette waved his hand, "I'm joking, don't mind, it should be me, thank you for helping me complete the formula."

"But, this is indeed a new product of Stark Enterprises, isn't it?"

"A part on the new product, and you haven't seen the whole design, have you? Just look at the strength verification." Antoinette waved the tablet in his hand, indicating that it was not a big deal, and turned around and led the way out. JJ came to pick them up to Rosie's house, it was too late to make everyone wait.

Rhett looked at JJ again, and the latter gave him an encouraging look. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked as he walked, "The shape of this part looks a bit special. What is it on?"

"I said that if you ask such a question, it involves commercial secrets." Antoinette replied without looking back.

They were already the latest arrivals. When they walked into the room, they saw Rossi waving a spoon and kicking out Garcia and Morgan who were making trouble. Millie is sitting in the living room eating melons and watching a play.

"Aaron, if you don't want to come to help, at least take care of your subordinates." Rossi protested by waving a spoon at Hodge.

However, Hodge seemed determined to sit on the sidelines, and just smiled, "It's not working time, David, there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates."

At this time, the three people who just walked in and looked at the situation curiously happened to be under Rossi's nose. He quickly gave up arguing with Hodge and turned to the newcomer, waving a spoon and clicking JJ and Anthony from left to right. "The two of you come in to help, otherwise you won't be able to eat tonight."

Unlike most people's impressions, Antoinette is actually a very homely person.Their old Jarvis was a very competent professional housekeeper, but unfortunately, his British origin limited his upper limit of development in the kitchen, so she started to learn to cook after her parents passed away.

Facts have proved that geniuses are not bad in any field, and Antoinette has a small achievement in cooking, so he can help Rossi cook some side dishes.

An hour later, when the dishes were almost ready, the dining table had almost turned into a card table. Emily Morgan partnered with Reed, while Garcia and Hodge were watching the play, and the scene was full of laughter.

"If you want to cheat Rhett, maybe the routine needs to be a little deeper." Antoinette brought the plate to the corner of the table they had hurriedly cleared away, and glanced at the Rhett card by the way.

"If you come, we won't have to worry about this!" Garcia tried hard to fire.

However, Antoinette didn't take that set, "You just want to watch us fight, and whoever loses can provide you with a laugh."

"It's time to eat, my God, what did you do to my dining table." Chef Rossi came out, criticized the mess, and then turned around and kicked the grill that had been prepared outdoors earlier.

After eating they went straight outside, and Rosie's house was large, with a nice courtyard outside.While they were making demons around the grill, Antoinette slipped away from the crowd and walked a little further away.

After a while, Reid took the two bottles of beer stuffed by Morgan, and walked over under the pressure of a group of people behind him.

Antoinette turned her back to them and didn't see the little commotion until Rhett walked up to her and handed her a bottle of beer. She looked at him in surprise and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Reid shook uncomfortably, looked away, and glanced back from time to time.

Antoinette also looked back, and the four eyes that had originally glanced at them withdrew in an instant.Antoinette blinked in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Reid also looked back instantly and shook his head, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at that bush." ​​Antoinette pointed to the shadow over there, "It has been pruned to look like a rabbit."

"It's true what you said." Reid looked in that direction, and after a while he recognized it. "Does this mean that you are in a good mood today?"

"It's okay." Antoinette shrugged and took a sip of beer. "What's wrong?"

"Rosie sent me a copy of 2001: A Space Odyssey, uncut, come and see it at my place tonight?"

"Okay." Antoinette nodded, and then Rhett had nothing to talk about. The two of them were silent for a while, and there was nothing to talk about except touching the wine bottle. However, this silence did not appear awkward, but rather natural.

Antoinette looked around and allowed himself to enjoy the quiet of being in company for a while.Then she looked at Rhett again, who was shaking his head down, obviously not as comfortable as she was.

But he didn't leave.

For a moment, Antoinette suddenly realized that what JJ said to her earlier did not seem to be due to unpreparedness, and she asked, "Did you ask JJ to persuade me?"

Only Rhett is the closest to him during non-working hours, and he is the most able to realize that he is too obsessed with the Gotham case.

"Uh..." Reid raised his head in a panic, showing a poking expression, then lowered his head and nodded.

"Thank you." Antoinette bumped Rhett's elbow and thanked him sincerely.
