Benedict was even happier when he heard that the mayor would be there. Now, Everleigh was representing the hospital and she was their hope to bring up their reputation.
They couldn't break it down even if they wanted to.
"Then you'd better go there quickly and not let others wait," Benedict urged. People who didn't know might think that he was the one who was going to meet the mayor.
Everleigh looked at him in disbelief.
He was the dean of the hospital, and it was just too obvious that he was flattering her.
After Everleigh and Theodore left, she couldn't help but ask, "Why was Mr. Lawson so aggressive about it?"
"The machine is going to be implemented in this place so he's definitely going to benefit the most. Apart from here, no other hospitals have this machine," he explained.
She understood. The more rare an item, the more valuable it was. She understood his thoughts. No wonder he was so polite to her.
The two of them returned to the company and waited for the arrival of the mayor.
Moses said that they had arrived downstairs and several people had gone out to welcome Talbot.
He led a few people in from the main entrance, and Theodore walked in from the opposite direction. "Congratulations, Mr. Godfrey. Your research was a success."
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Drake. This way please," Theodore gestured. Talbot nodded and followed him to the office.
Walking into the office, Talbot looked at the decoration inside and found that it looked a little abnormal.
"You guys go and test the machine. I have something to discuss with Mr. Godfrey," he turned and said.
The people behind him nodded and followed Moses out for the inspection.
Only Talbot, Theodore, and Everleigh were left in the office.
Talbot sat on the sofa and turned to look at Everleigh with a faint smile. "Miss Trevino, you are still as elegant as ever even after a few years."
"Have you seen me before?" She asked despite knowing his answer.
He chuckled and replied, "Previously, I knew Theodore had a girlfriend and asked him to introduce you to me. He refused unfortunately, so we missed the chance to meet the last time."
Her gaze fell on Theodore. He, on the other hand, was expressionless. There was no shame on his face at all. "Talbot was young and promising. What if you abandon me after I introduce you to him?"
Upon hearing this, Talbot spat out the tea in his mouth. He coughed for a long time before he regained his composure.
"Theodore, do you not trust me, or do you not trust her?"
Theodore didn't find anything inappropriate about what he just said.
She was very surprised too. How could she not know that he would have such a thought?
Was it because of that reason, or didn't he want to introduce her to the mayor?
That reason really made her speechless.
Talbot was very helpless too. Fortunately, he had been in this field for so many years, so he wasn't bothered much about it.
"I'm here today not only to see the results of your research, but also to talk about Wilson."
"He came to you to find out more about me, and whether our relationship is worth deliberating or not."
"Well, you've faced a lot of troubles here and there," Talbot answered with a smirk, but his eyes were cold.
Theodore pursed his lips and remained silent.
He didn't seem to care at all.
Instead, Everleigh was curious. Why did she feel that Talbot seemed to be gloating over his misfortune?
Not long after, the men who had been sent came back and said respectfully, "Mr. Drake, the inspection has been completed."
