    The car came to a halt at the parking lot of the facility, with Nicole and Ike getting down and walking off to theb


    thereafter.


    "Ms. Riddle, Mr. Ike." Theb guard greeted Nicole and Ike politely as soon as he saw them approaching the


    entrance.


    ’Is everything fine here?" Nicole asked.


    ’Yeah, everything is fine as usual,’ the guard replied.


    "Alright, thank you for your work,” Nicole said, after which she and Ike headed inside.


    "Are we going straight to the design department?" Ike asked as he was walking beside Nicole.


    ''Yeah. We''ve just talked about this, didn''t we?" Nicole replied to him sternly.


    Upon arriving at the entrance of the design department, they swiped their cards, pushed the door open, and


    walked in. The chief designer, upon noticing that Nicole and Ike had entered the room, walked over to greet them.


    "Ms. Riddle, Mr. Ike."


    ''How is the current design going for the team?" asked Nicole.


    ’It''s going well."


    ''I see. May I have a look?" Nicole asked the chief designer.


    "Sure. Over here please." The chief designer extended his hand as a gesture of invitation, whereupon Nicole and


    Ike entered the meeting room.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Once they were both inside, the chief designer activated the sma screen on the wall. "Miss Riddle and Mr. Ike,


    please have a seat. I''ll need a moment to search for the data and show it to the both of you."


    "No worries." Nicole and Ike took their seats and waited.


    After a brief moment, a rough sketch of the manned flying car appeared on the screen. Nicole and Ike''s eyes met


    for an instance. Then, they stared at the screen with frowns on their faces.


    Noticing their expressions, the chief designer suddenly felt nervous. ''We weren’t informed that Miss Riddle would


    being in for an inspection today. Why are they making it seem like there is one?''


    Nicole maintained her stare for a while longer and turned to Ike, "Do you have anyments?"


    Ike looked at Nicole and thought for a moment before making his remarks, "Our design seems quite in. If we


    were topete in the industry based on appearance, I''m afraid well be behind."


    The chief designer looked at Ike confusedly, "Mr. Ike, I didn''t quite get what you were saying. Are there other


    "That''s right. Miss Riddle and I were at a tech exhibition yesterday. We saw a conceptual design from a rival


    advanced." Ike exined to the chief designer.


    ''What? There are otherpanies working on manned flying cars?" the chief designer asked, extremely shocked


    upon hearing the news, as he had no idea prior to being informed of this.


    "Don''t be surprised," Ike said. "Even if they are just researching on it, I''m quite sure they''re at the same phase as


    US. Perhaps, they might be a little, but not far behind US in terms of progress


    "If we cane up with a design that''s a lot more attractive and practical, I think well be able to secure fifty


    percent of the market." Nicole looked at them firmly.


    Without realizing it, her faith in this project had given the chief designer and Ike the confidence boost they needed.


    "Now, let''s discuss about how we should improve and modify our current design together." Nicole looked at both of


    them, prompting Ike and the chief designer to respond with nods.


    "Ms. Riddle, which part of the vehicle do you think we could modify?" The chief designer turned to Nicole.


    Nicole looked at the current design and suggested, "I think we can make the hood a lot more angr and shy.


    When people look at it, they''d find it more pleasant to the eye. Second in the list of priorities is to reduce the


    windage. We should try our best to minimize air resistance as much as possible, so it would be safer for it to fly. At


    the same time, it would be able to increase mileage in the air."


    After she was done speaking, Nicole turned to look at Ike, ’What do you think?"


    ''I agree with the both of what you have said. While considering this, we should produce a manned flying car fit for


    two. That would be a huge selling point too." Ike stated.


    "He''s right. This feature could win potential buyers over, provided it is within the same price range.”
