Trina’s invention was not half bad, but her character was questionable. Bonnie would not let someone like her even enter her research institute.
Trina took the stage and confidently introduced her invention. She fiddled with her robot as she said, “The robot I invented can sing and dance. It can also rearrange a song into different genres, such as rock and roll and hip-hop.”
One of the judges said, “That’s neat. It’s certainly better than the other robots we’ve seen.”
“You’re right. That’s the best invention up to this point.”
Trina was on cloud nine as she accepted the ceaseless compliments.
‘I knew it! I have this competition in the bag with skills and talent. Now, all that’s left is Professor Terry. He represents Bonita Research Institute. If he gives me a nod, my victory is all but secured.’
She looked at him confidently. However, to her surprise, he lowered his head and fiddled with something. He showed no interest in her robot.
‘Wh-what’s happening?’ Trina grew worried. ‘It doesn’t make sense. My robot is an excellent invention. Quite a few investors and judges have complimented me on it.
‘If I remember correctly, Professor Terry sought my parents during the press conference for the latest nanomaterial. We thought he lowered himself to our level because he noticed my talents. I don’t think that’s no longer the case.
‘If that’s the case, why did he talk to my parents? He even looked at me back then. Wait a minute!’
