“Daniel, see the guests out,” the robot said.

Kimberly and Zachary couldn’t stand it any longer. They exchanged glances filled with resentment toward each other.

At this moment, Aurelia finally stood up. “Please wait. How about I continue?”

“Why should I believe you?” the robot asked.

Aurelia looked directly at the robot and said slowly, “Because you’re interested in the proposal. Why else would you waste three minutes letting Kimberly come up with something to say? Since we want to collaborate and you’re interested, why not listen to the whole thing before making your decision?”

“I am indeed very interested. Even so, that’s just a plan. I won’t entrust such an important plan to an incompetent person.”

“Then, you can entrust it to me,” Aurelia boldly volunteered. “I’ll definitely meet your expectations.”

“You?” the robot questioned.

“Yes, just give me two minutes. That’s all I need. If you’re not satisfied with my presentation, we won’t bother One Technology again,” Aurelia said firmly.

The conference room fell silent.

After a moment, the robot slowly spoke. “Set up a timer.”

“Thank you.”

Aurelia smiled and immediately stepped past Kimberly to stand in front of everyone.

“The proposal emphasizes professionalism. The banquet shouldn’t be extravagant but innovative and filled with elements of technology. Those present can…”

Ten, nine, eight… three, two, one.

With the final seconds of the countdown, Aurelia finished explaining about the opening banquet that would be rich in futuristic elements concisely.

She had covered the key points, the process, and the arrangements for it. She had even explained each professional term in detail.

Everyone present could tell that Aurelia had conducted thorough research for the proposal.

As for Kimberly, she had barely even scratched the surface.

Everyone in the conference room were intelligent people.

Combined with Kimberly and Zachary’s act in the lounge earlier, it became clear who had really made the proposal.

But Kimberly was still just an employee. Hence, Zachary had to have played a part in helping her steal someone else’s work.

Zachary felt the contempt of the crowd, and his confidence faded.

Kimberly stood to the side with her face flushed.

Although they were only looking at her, she felt exposed.

Aurelia! It was all Aurelia’s fault!

Aurelia ignored Kimberly’s gaze and looked at the robot calmly. “What do you think?”

The robot remained silent, but it turned its head. It was just a small movement, but Aurelia’s heart was in her throat.

She had bet everything on this. If she failed, she would definitely be fired from the company.

“Very good. I look forward to working with you.”

“Likewise!” Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Daniel walked over and handed Aurelia some documents. “Ms. Simmons, please sign the contract.”

She nodded and was about to pick up the pen when Zachary snatched the documents away and handed it to Kimberly.

With a smile, he said, “You must be mistaken, Mr. Xenos. Kimberly wrote this proposal, so she should be the one signing the contract.”

“Yeah, Aurelia isn’t qualified to sign the contract at all. I’m the one who wrote the proposal,” Kimberly said, grabbing the pen from Aurelia’s hand.

“Is that so?” The robot’s voice sounded again, its tone even colder than before. “Do you need me to remind you of the consequences of fooling your client?”

Both Zachary and Kimberly froze.
