"You still prefer quiet places as always," she said with a smile.
I did not deny it. "Some people say that women should eat fewer pastries or they'll get old easily."
She was amused and popped a piece into her mouth. " What's the definition of old for women?"
Her question rendered me speechless.
Celine took her seat beside me and said with a smile," Some people are obviously in their 20s yet they have n o expectations and dreams for the future. They muddle through their lives. Some are obviously 70 or 8 0 years old yet are still trying new things and living positive lives. Which group of these two kinds of people do you think are older?"
She might not seem old enough but she had a clear view of things.
I smiled slightly. "I hope most people in their 20s to their 70s can live positive lives and stay young until the day they die."
We had a lot in common to talk about, and after chatting for almost ten minutes, Theo went on stage for a speech. Only then did Celine leave.
I finished my food and had nothing to do, so I walked
around freely in the ballroom.
There were a lot of employees in Grant Corporation, and after inviting several business leaders and distinguished figures in Whaldorf City, the ballroom was dense with the crowd.
Some of the small-scale Al research machines were given out to several outstanding employees. Then, Theo took the opportunity to announce to everyone that the Al machinery field would be handled by Elena.
At the sight of the novel Al machines, I must admit that Elena was truly an outstanding researcher and deserved to be valued by Theo.
After his speech, Theo left the stage and walked straight toward me.
He ignored the gazes of the crowd and held my hand, asking, "How are the pastries?"
