After the contract was signed, Loraine felt a sense of relief, as if she had achieved a major


    aplishment.


    As she thought about the medical robot, a product of Sr Company, her curiosity was piqued. She


    asked Marco, “How did theye up with this robot? Was it the same process as creating Qbot?”


    Before Marco could answer, his phone started ringing. Both were taken aback when Qbot blurted out,


    “No, Mommy! I’m unique!”


    Having not seen Qbot for a while, Loraine greeted it, “Hello, Qbot, do you also know the ninth


    generation medical robot?”


    Unintentionally, Loraine had triggered the system’s keyword, and Qbot, eager to assert its superiority


    over the medical robot, quickly responded, “Absolutely! The ninth generation medical robot is actually a


    product of Sullivan and Dad’s work…”


    “Enough, Qbot!” Marco cut it off abruptly. “You should be in your Lab right now! Don’t be lingering on


    my phone! Get back in there!”


    In an attempt to avoid further revtions from Qbot, Marco unlocked his phone and tapped it a few


    times. Loraine was suspicious that he was trying to silence Qbot.


    Upon raising his head, he caught Loraine casting him a questioning nce.

    Seeing her suspicious look, Marco was ready to divert Loraine’s attention with another topic. He


    chimed in, “Truth be told, the Bryant


    Group has been in talks with Sr Company for a while now. Our alliance has been long-standing.”


    Loraine didn’t miss a beat at his revtion.


    She’d had her suspicions about the depth of Marco and Sr Company’s alliance, and his admission


    was the missing piece of the puzzle. There was more to this partnership than met the eye.

    She threw a teasing nce at Marco, an unspoken question hanging in the air.


    “Mr. Bryant, you’ve managed to keep this under wraps so well. There’s been nary a whisper in the


    industry about this. Had I not been present to witness this firsthand, I would’ve remained oblivious to


    your ties with Sr Company.”


    A shadow of surprise crossed Marco’s face. He collected his thoughts and responded tentatively, “Well,


    I didn’t mention it because we hadn’t reached a desirable oue yet.”


    Seeing his honest reaction, any hint of Loraine’s irritation vanished.


    “Well, it’s not Like you owe me this information. Congrattions. This alliance with Sr Company will


    undoubtedly catapult the Bryant Group to greater heights!”


    Yet, Marco’s tone was sober as he countered, “Not just me, it’s us who are rising together.”


    Loraine was taken aback. She thought he was jesting until she noticed the earnestness in his gaze.


    His eyes held a warmth, a sincerity, as if she were a cherished gem in his possession.


    Loraine felt her heart flutter under his gaze. This time, she did not shy away from the intense affection


    reflected in his dark eyes.


    His eyes wavered when he noticed her unabashed look, and then he broke into a smile.
