Lance had his curt bow towards Jaqi's mother.
"And who is this? This is a restricted area, Jaqi?" Her mother said but without the domineering tone, rather a delightful one.
"This is Lance Berkley, a Mech Teir 1," Jaqi introduced.
There was a reason why Jaqi did not disclose his residential sector. Maybe she knew how her mother would react. Rather, she mentioned Mech Tier because mostly, they were branded as Mid-classers.
"Nice to meet you," the mother extended an open palm.
Lance smiled, grasped lightly, and shook her hand. She gripped hard back and shook their handshake sternly and abruptly.
"Lance, this is my mother, Janet Leric. The AOD of all Homestead," Jaqi said.
"That's way too much, dear," Janet reacted. "So, this is your research partner?"
"Yeah, about our in vitro propagation project," Jaqi answered. "I just wanted him to show the overview of this project here in the Dome."
