Chapter 865


    There was a small conference room inside the conference room. When the door was opened, Theo


    and Elena were not there, so they must be in the small conference room.


    Sure enough, the voices of two people talking came from the small conference room.


    "Mr. Grant, the artificial intelligence technology has matured, so we might as well be bold. If we


    develop this new product first, we’ll definitely reap a lot of rewards."

    "No.” Theo''s voice was deep and low, containing a hint of displeasure. "Grant Corporation is a


    company, not your scientific research institute. If the new product development fails, are you going


    to bear the losses incurred?"


    Theo was losing his patience. When he looked up and saw that I was here, his expression softened


    considerably. He no longer paid any attention to Elena and got up to walk toward me.


    Elena looked at me and furrowed her brows. She was clearly upset.


    Seeing the weary look on Theo’s face, I held his hand and sighed. "You can''t skip your meal just


    because


    you have work to do. The food that Keith ordered has just arrived. Why don''t you resume working


    after you eat?"


    Theo pursed his lips and shook off my hand to take m e into his arms. "I would''ve run out of power if


    you hadn''te to give me a recharge."


    I smiled slightly and looked at the displeased-looking Elena. I lifted both hands to hug him back.


    "Your power bank is here now. Hurry up and charge up."


    Keith was a sensible person and quickly left.


    Elena had no intention of leaving and looked at us with a sullen expression. "Mr. Grant, we’re still in


    the midst of a meeting. Don''t you think it''s inappropriate for your wife to barge in like this?"


    Theo continued to hug me and spared her no nce." It''s after working hours now. It''ste and you


    should g o home. We can discuss it again tomorrow."


    She was still upset and nned to be unrelenting. "M r. Grant, we should-"


    "Ms. Mandez!" Theo cut her off. "You live alone, so you only need to take care of yourself, but I


    have a wife and a son. I need to be with them after work. I’m really grateful that you''re serious about


    your work and the contributions you''re making. I’ll ask Keith to inform the finance department about


    paying you more in overtime pay. It''s gettingte. You should go home earlier."


    Elena had no way of refuting him.


    I was awfully hungry and did not want to waste any more time on Elena, so I said to Theo, "You can


    recharge by eating too. I''m running out of power myself. Let''s go and recharge.”


    Theoughed. "Let''s go."


    Ignoring the sullen-looking Elena, Theo and I left the conference room.


    Keith took his portion and went to his office to eat. Theo and I sat on the sofa and nned to dig in.


    We were so famished and could not wait a minute longer.


    After forking a piece of steak and popping it into my mouth, I said with a smile, "Ask Keith where he


    bought this fromter. It''s pretty tasty."


    Theo drew out a piece of tissue paper and wiped my mouth for me. "I won''t have meetings thiste


    again."


    I shrugged. "I know it''s work-rted matters. Don''t worry, I''m not that narrow-minded.”


    Thinking about what I heard outside the conference room, I asked, "You don''t have ns on


    developing new products?"


    Elena was not wrong. If Grant Corporation developed new products first, the whole enterprise would


    reach a much higher level.


    Theo shook his head. "The technology isn’t matured enough. It will most likely fail with Elena’s


    efforts alone. This can''t be rushed.”


    He had his own ideas on this matter, and I was not an expert. Hence, I was not going to put forward


    my own ideas.


    After eating, Theo went home. It was almost ten o''clock when we reached home. Munchkin had


    already gone to bed.
