"Yo-You don't recognize me?" Blanchett stuttered.
"Should I?" Jacob asked.
Blanchett’s expression looked so shocked a s if she got struck by lightning. She then became a little depressed.
Anna was pleased immediately. She triumphantly gave Blanchett a sideways glance, "You heard it yourself. Jacob doesn't know you, so you can leave now."
Blanchett gritted her teeth and looked at Jacob earnestly with her big blue eyes, "We met at a conference last year when you came to participate in a tech seminar."
Tech seminar?
Jacob gave off a thoughtful look.
Blanchett saw the opportunity and added immediately, "Many people were not very convinced by your SL system at that time and challenged you on the spot."
Jacob took a good look at Blanchett and suddenly realized, "Oh, you were the first person who came forward and challenged me?"
Blanchett blushed and nodded faintly and bashfully, "It's me. I didn't know you were such a pro in programming."
Having recalled Blanchett, Jacob nodded lightly, "The knowledge of programming is vast, and I still have a lot to learn. So I wouldn't call myself a pro."
Such high-end skills, yet such a humble attitude... Blanchett was even more starstruck than before. "Anyway, when compared to you, the programming skills that I take pride in are simply not worth mentioning.”
Jacob nodded seriously. “That is true. Skillwise, you’re still a newbie."
Blanchett was left speechless.
Skillwise, you're still a newbie...
That was brutal. No face was given at all back there!
But Blanchett picked herself up at once and continued, "Everyone left their email address at the seminar. Later on, when I encountered something that I didn't understand, I sent you a few emails and you answered me patiently.”
Blanchett gazed at Jacob shyly. "You're really a great man."
Blanchett's flushed face made Anna extremely nervous.
This Blanchett girl should also be very into programming, so she and Jacob must have a lot of common topics.
Besides, Jacob had always been indifferent, but he was willing to reply to her emails. Was it that...
Anna's face turned pale.
"Email?" Jacob was perplexed for a second, then said, “That email address of mine is managed by the company. I basically don't log in to it."
Blanchett was stunned again, "What?
That’s impossible. You don't have to lie, Shelby."
Jacob frowned, "Why should I? This is the operations director of our company, you can ask him."
Jacob dragged Seth out of the bunch.
"Hi, gorgeous," Seth greeted Blanchett enthusiastically.
Blanchett could not help but bite her lips and ask, "Is what he said true?”
"Although I wish to tell you that it's not, unfortunately, it’s indeed true. Jacob’s mailbox is managed by the company, so the person who replied to your email should be one of our programmers," Seth said sympathetically.
Blanchett's expression looked as if she just got knocked down by a truck.
Anna became complacent out of a sudden. She knew it!
