BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 460
After the press conference, that afternoon, Charlene and Stewart returned to
PrimeStar for a meeting.
As soon as Charlene walked into the conference room, the PrimeStar tech team
erupted in cheers. Word of what had happened at the Axiom Flux Technologies
launch had already spread.
The engineers here had worked closely with Charlene before. They knew she
was
talented, but after watching the press conference, they realized she was far more
impressive than they'd ever imagined.
Everyone was congratulating her. Charlene grinned and said, "Thanks, everyone."
It took another two or three minutes for the excitement to settle down before the
meeting finally got underway.
Across the table, Gaylord Hearst watched Charlene in silence.
He'd tried to ask her out a few times recently, but she always seemed to be busy and never had the time. He'd planned to try again in the next few days, but now... Gaylord had thought he already understood Charlene's abilities-after all, he often found excuses to consult her about work problems, just like the other
engineers. Yet, just like everyone else, today had shown him that Charlene was
in
a league of her own.
And now, looking at this brilliant, dazzling woman, he couldn't help but wonder:
did he really deserve her?
Especially when, despite all their recent interactions, it was obvious Charlene had
never seen him in that way.
With that thought, Gaylord quietly looked away.
After the meeting, Charlene left the conference room and was heading back to
her office when Gaylord caught up with her. "I watched the Axiom Flux
Technologies launch," he said, "Congratulations."
She smiled. "Thank you."
Charlene was swamped with work from the Axiom Flux project and had already
fallen behind on her PrimeStar tasks. In a hurry, she thanked Gaylord and quickly
walked off.
He didn't follow.
It wasn't that he was giving up. He simply realized that he needed time-to grow,
to become stronger, to become someone worthy.
Watching Charlene disappear down the hallway, Gaylord's eyes grew more
determined.
Whatever the reason he'd come back to his home country, he suddenly felt that,
by some twist of fate, this was exactly where he was meant to be.
Once Charlene's figure had vanished from sight, he returned to his desk, dove
into his work, and didn't look back.
The next morning.
Vesta was in her office, reviewing documents, when her secretary knocked and
entered. Vesta set her papers aside and asked, "Has Mr. Black arrived?"
Over dinner yesterday, Mr. Black had mentioned he'd come to Neural Nexus Tech
this morning to discuss a partnership. It was already past ten; he should have
arrived by now.
"Actually," her secretary said awkwardly, "Mr. Black's assistant just called. He's
decided not to pursue a partnership with us for the time being, so..."
Vesta paused, sudden understanding dawning on her. "I see. You can go."
But the secretary didn't leave.
