Chapter 865

There was a small conference room inside the conference room. When the door was opened, Theo

and Elena were not there, so they must be in the small conference room.

Sure enough, the voices of two people talking came from the small conference room.

"Mr. Grant, the artificial intelligence technology has matured, so we might as well be bold. If we

develop this new product first, we’ll definitely reap a lot of rewards."

"No.” Theo's voice was deep and low, containing a hint of displeasure. "Grant Corporation is a

company, not your scientific research institute. If the new product development fails, are you going

to bear the losses incurred?"

Theo was losing his patience. When he looked up and saw that I was here, his expression softened

considerably. He no longer paid any attention to Elena and got up to walk toward me.

Elena looked at me and furrowed her brows. She was clearly upset.

Seeing the weary look on Theo’s face, I held his hand and sighed. "You can't skip your meal just

because

you have work to do. The food that Keith ordered has just arrived. Why don't you resume working

after you eat?"

Theo pursed his lips and shook off my hand to take m e into his arms. "I would've run out of power if

you hadn't come to give me a recharge."

I smiled slightly and looked at the displeased-looking Elena. I lifted both hands to hug him back.

"Your power bank is here now. Hurry up and charge up."

Keith was a sensible person and quickly left.

Elena had no intention of leaving and looked at us with a sullen expression. "Mr. Grant, we’re still in

the midst of a meeting. Don't you think it's inappropriate for your wife to barge in like this?"

Theo continued to hug me and spared her no glance." It's after working hours now. It's late and you

should g o home. We can discuss it again tomorrow."

She was still upset and planned to be unrelenting. "M r. Grant, we should-"

"Ms. Mandez!" Theo cut her off. "You live alone, so you only need to take care of yourself, but I

have a wife and a son. I need to be with them after work. I’m really grateful that you're serious about

your work and the contributions you're making. I’ll ask Keith to inform the finance department about

paying you more in overtime pay. It's getting late. You should go home earlier."

Elena had no way of refuting him.

I was awfully hungry and did not want to waste any more time on Elena, so I said to Theo, "You can

recharge by eating too. I'm running out of power myself. Let's go and recharge.”

Theo laughed. "Let's go."

Ignoring the sullen-looking Elena, Theo and I left the conference room.

Keith took his portion and went to his office to eat. Theo and I sat on the sofa and planned to dig in.

We were so famished and could not wait a minute longer.

After forking a piece of steak and popping it into my mouth, I said with a smile, "Ask Keith where he

bought this from later. It's pretty tasty."

Theo drew out a piece of tissue paper and wiped my mouth for me. "I won't have meetings this late

again."

I shrugged. "I know it's work-related matters. Don't worry, I'm not that narrow-minded.”

Thinking about what I heard outside the conference room, I asked, "You don't have plans on

developing new products?"

Elena was not wrong. If Grant Corporation developed new products first, the whole enterprise would

reach a much higher level.

Theo shook his head. "The technology isn’t matured enough. It will most likely fail with Elena’s

efforts alone. This can't be rushed.”

He had his own ideas on this matter, and I was not an expert. Hence, I was not going to put forward

my own ideas.

After eating, Theo went home. It was almost ten o'clock when we reached home. Munchkin had

already gone to bed.
