CHAPTER 372
~Zara's POV~
Dr. Pierce had developed cutting-edge biometric security solutions that were nearly impossible to hack or bypass. If anyone could make sure the Zephyr Eco-Hub was impenetrable, it was her.
Without hesitating, I pressed call.
The line rang twice before her familiar, crisp voice answered. "Zara Zephyr. It's been a while."
I smiled. "Evelyn, I need your expertise. I'm working on something big, and security is a top priority."
There was a brief pause, then she responded, "I'm listening."
I quickly explained the project, detailing my vision and how I wanted biometric security and AI-monitored surveillance systems to be integrated into the infrastructure.
Dr. Pierce let out an impressed hum. "You're thinking ahead, Zara. This could change the way cities operate. I like it."
"Will you help?" I asked, hopefully.
She chuckled. "I'd be insulted if you didn't ask me to."
