"What's going on?" I pushed the door open and entered the office. Theo frowned at a side display without saying anything, while Ruby was standing behind him.
Only when she saw me enter did she take a half step backward, pretending not to notice.
"Mrs. Grant,” she finally said, looking at me with some reluctance.
"We intended to apply the Al technology being developed now to machinery to see the results of the experiment, but machinery is also divided into many kinds, as well as the different parts that function differently."
I had heard Theo mention this before. Ruby's explanation was tinged with a slight sense of mockery.
"We finally picked out a more suitable set of machinery to be used as experiments by comparing a huge amount of data from before. We were going to begin preparing custom-made parts, but the relevant information data was accidentally lost by Keith."
Ruby said with an aggrieved look on her face as if she was pleading for Keith's sake.
I knew that underneath the aggrieved expression, there must have been a smug smile. Otherwise, how could she secretly glance at Theo out of the corners of her eyes right as she finished speaking?
Theo continued to look at the monitor and did not respond to her.
Such indifference was interpreted by Ruby as him still being angry with Keith.
"I’m pleading with you not to get angry, Mr. Grant. I know that this information is very important. The loss of this information is equivalent to our months of hard work all wasted, but it can't be helped. Not to mention, getting angry is bad for your health. It's not worth it."
