"He’s hungry!" Hilaria said with a laugh. "He's been like this since he was a kid - can't stand being hungry. When he's hungry, he throws tantrums like a little kid!"
Hearing this, Rosalynn turned to look at the huge guy, Calvin. She couldn't associate childishness with him at all.
"Why don't you guys join us for a meal in town? I haven't eaten either. If you don't mind, I'll treat you as a thank you for helping me," Rosalynn suggested.
"Sounds good to me!" Hilaria agreed and looked at Wayne, "President Silverman, is that alright?"
"Of course."
Moments later, Wayne was driving with a stiff expression. Beside him sat the desperately hungry Calvin. Behind them sat Rosalynn and Hilaria, chatting away happily.
In just ten minutes or so, they'd discussed at least four topics. Their conversation eventually reached the subject of the Q City project.
"You did all that yourself?" Hilaria asked with a look of surprise.
"I just crafted the framework, but it was a team effort overall!" Rosalynn replied.
Rosalynn still had no idea who this grandma-like figure was, that even Wayne was so respectful to. She seemed knowledgeable about everything, with a wide range of interests. She wasn't unfamiliar with even the most technical topics.
"President Silverman, your secretary is quite impressive!" Hilaria said to Wayne. "It's a waste to have her with you. Why not hand her over to an old lady like me? I need a good-looking...," she paused and changed her words, " ...a smart assistant by my side!"
"Mrs. Jared, to be honest, Prodigy Inc.'s Mr. Wallace has asked for her before," Wayne said with subtle boasting. "I turned him down. If I were to hand Rosalynn over to you, I'd be creating enemies."
"Old, rigid Wallace?" Hilaria had a surprised look on her face.
Wallace was an ugly fellow, but he was loyal to his late wife. In order to avoid making her jealous and upset, he always had male secretaries and assistants.
And he actually asked for Ms. Tesdal?
Rosalynn kept silent.
