The exchange meeting came to an end.
I stood not far from Theo and Nicky who were being questioned by other companies for their famed artificial intelligence system.
Seeing them being surrounded all around, I could not squeeze myself in, so I could only wait.
"Madam Grant.”
A male voice sounded in my ear, and I followed the voice to see that Drover was approaching me.
It was obvious that he had just emerged from the crowd.
His voice was a little hoarse, probably because he talked too much at the meeting. I looked at him and greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Drover."
"I benefited a lot from what you said just now, and I can't imagine it coming from someone who doesn't know much about artificial intelligence.”
I kept thinking that his voice had a sense of familiarity, but I could not remember where I heard it from.
I started pondering in my head and forgot to respond to him.
"Madam Grant?”
It was not until he called out to me again that I came back to my senses. "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something earlier. Truthfully, I was simply muttering out those words."
Drover's eyes kept lingering on me, which made me uncomfortable.
At this moment, Theo's voice sounded. "I heard that it's rare for Mr. Drover to take the initiative to chat with someone. What's so special about my wife?"
He walked over to me and put his arms around my waist while exerting some strength as if proclaiming his property.
I found this somewhat ineffable. Could he be jealous about this too?
"President Grant, your wife is really very thoughtful. It'd be a shame for her not to continue in this field. Perhaps you could-”
