Drover's large eyes were looking at me, and I also looked at him with anticipation in my eyes.
I really hoped he would agree.
Finally, he nodded. "Okay, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
I let go of my unease and smiled as I waved them goodbye.
He turned around and went back to the car. From the window seat, Marius reached out and waved at me. ' Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After going back to my room, I looked at the time. It was likely dawn where Theo was.
Thinking of giving it a try, I dialed his number.
It connected after a while, and he looked to be washing up. "What's wrong?"
"I just met Drover," I told Theo the news excitedly.
However, he seemed stunned for a moment before he slowly responded, "It's late where you are. Did you go out?"
"Yes, let me tell you about it..."
I told Theo what happened, and after he was done listening, his tone softened a little. "You asked him to come to Grant Corporation tomorrow. Do you want to discuss the project with him yourself?"
"Yeah, you're not here anyway. I'm calling you now because I want to ask you something. You said you wanted to work with him before. Do you already have a project prepared?"
I had to learn a lot from Theo in order for the talks to go smoothly tomorrow.
While I listened to him, I took notes. In the end, I yawned again. "Okay, I got it."
Hearing my slightly hoarse voice, Theo stopped. "It's late. Get some rest. Otherwise, what energy are you going to use to see him tomorrow?"
"You’re right. I'll go to bed first. Have a good day."
I smiled, embarrassed. "Ah, yes. Sorry, did I disturb you?"
"No, I just heard some noise. But it was so late. What were you doing out alone?"
Hearing Nicky's words, I suddenly recalled that she was an expert in artificial intelligence. If so, how could I meet Drover today without her?
Thinking of this, I excitedly told Nicky about what happened the night before. She frowned. "This is a good thing, but Wanda, you can’t go out alone next time when it’s so late. After all, President Grant isn’t here. It’s fine if you had dragged me along. If it were the two of us, we would have company and it’d be safer."
I nodded and made an ‘OK’ gesture. "Alright, I'll definitely call you next time. How about it? Will you accompany me to meet Drover later?"
"Sure, he’s a role model in our industry. I'm just afraid that I'll say the wrong thing when I'm nervous." Nicky has always been calm, but in the face of such a huge figure, it was inevitable that she would be a little
flustered. Even so, I believed she would perform well.
"You'll be fine. Theo will be very happy if we can get Drover to sign the letter of intent for partnership immediately."
Nicky nodded and replied, "Yes, that’s a given."
