Aurelia thought that someone had bumped into her, but when she turned around, she saw no one


    there.


    Baffled, she turned back and continued eating. But something bumped into her again.


    She turned around immediately, but there was still no one.


    Suddenly, something tugged at the hem of her dress. She lowered her gaze and found a small robot by


    her feet.


    She recognized this robot.


    The founder of One Technology had used this robot as a medium during the meeting with Young Advertising.


    The robot looked up at Leslie, then at Aurelia. Its big mechanical eyes were filled with confusion.


    Aurelia felt even more confused than it was.


    “Mr. Synder, why does it look like it knows me?”N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Leslie stared speechlessly at the first robot he had ever made. He realized that it must have


    remembered Aurelia because he had mentioned her quite frequently recently.


    This robot couldn’t do much, but it had a great memory. It could distinguish between people, objects, and events that were


    frequently mentioned, then categorize them ordingly.


    He had made it just to keep himselfpany. If he wasn’t mistaken, the robot knew about the rtionship between him and


    Aurelia.


    “Mommy, Momm-


    Before the robot could continue, its power was cut off.


    Leslie tapped the back of its head and said to Aurelia, “It has short-circuited.”


    Aurelia held her chin and asked, “Why does it seem to recognize me? And why did it call me ‘mommy?


    Why did she feel like a child had mistaken her for their mother?


    intelligent


    Leslie said calmly, “It probably remembers you from the meeting. After all, it’s an machine with memory functionality. Since it’s a


    first-generation model, it tends to have glitches and mistakenly identify everyone as its parents.”


    “Is that so?” Aurelia still had some doubts, but the surrounding lights suddenly changed.


    Then, the jazz band that she had specially hired for the night took the stage.


    The singer’s deep voicebined with the futuristic setting created an indescribable collision.

    The people around them put down their wine sses and danced on the various colored ss tiles, thoroughly enjoying the


    rhythm.


    Aurelia looked at the event that she had nned with satisfaction. It was truly beautiful


    The next moment, Leslie pulled her onto the dance floor


    “Mr. Synder, what are you doing?”


    “Watching a show,” he replied, his gaze fixed on a particr spot.


    Aurelia followed his gare and saw Leon with an impatient expression on his face.


    Leon had lost the arrogance he had when he had entered the venue earlier. Now he resembled a bomb. on the verge of


    exploding.


    “What''s wrong with him?” she asked.


    “Do you know why he’s bing more frustrated the more rxed everyone else is?” Leslie asked.


    “| don’t know. Why?” Aurelia looked at Leslie.


    “Think about it. Why did Millie still continue to show off even when she wasn’t with Jackson anymore?”


    “Because she wanted to maintain her image in the eyes of others.”


    After saying that, realization dawned on Aurelia. She continued,


    on noticed that the others aren''t


    that eager to fawn over him, which shows that the Synder family’s status isn’t as great as he had thought. That''s why he’s


    bing impatient.”


    Leslie said, “He’s not dumb. The Synder family has monopolies over many industries.


    “In recent years, they''ve imed to support neers’ technology but have used various methods. to suppress and acquire


    those neers’ patents at low prices. They believe that they are at the top, not realizing that an unstable foundation can easily


    copse.


    “Negotiating a coboration with ourpany is Leon’s first business deal for the family. Everyone is waiting to see what he’s


    capable of.


    “He’s anxious that he isn’t getting his way, but the more impatient he bes, the less likely it


    would be for him to Seed.”


    Leslie’s tone was cold, and his eyes darkened as he looked at Leon. It was as if he was looking at his


    nemesis.


    Sensing this, Leon turned and looked in their direction.


    Worried that Leon woulde over and cause trouble, Aurelia reached out and hugged Leslie tightly, turning her back toward


    Leon.


    Because of how tightly she was hugging him, she had to press her face against Leslie’s chest. She could hear Leslie''s distinct


    and powerful heartbeat as well as feel his warmth through his shirt.
