Chapter 75

If Charlene made a scene, Thome would be unhappy. She was aware of the dynamics of Charlene and Thorne's marriage and would never try to offend Thorne. After all, Thorne would hate her even more if she irritated him once more. Laverne was a little relieved to hear that. However, she was concerned that if Thorne were too kind to Vesta, Charlene wouldn't be able to cope with the jealously. Regardless of their opinions, Charlene didn't give their predicament any particular thought because Professor Hancock was sitting next to her. Professor Hancock had made it a point to welcome Charlene earlier because he knew she was at the fair. He had been hoping to speak with Charlene since their last wonderful conversation at a party, but they had been too busy.

He didn't want to pass up the opportunity since they had crossed paths. So soon after he sat down, he struck up a discussion with Charlene. Professor Hancock and Charlene spoke quietly since they didn't want to disturb anyone else at the enormous table. Observing Professor Hancock conversing with Charlene in a friendly manner all the time, Vesta and Laverne paid little attention, assuming Charlene was talking to him about work-related issues. "Hank, you can't shake off your professional habits," joked the individual seated across from Professor Hancock. You've been chatting all day, and you still can't stop at the dinner table."

Someone else chuckled and said, "All right?" Hank had spent some time talking with Ms. Hawkins earlier in the exhibition hall. When I try to discuss technical stuff with you guys, you always send me off to your engineers," Professor Hancock said, grinning and refusing to give in to their demands. You're not accustomed to me not communicating with you? " Who would have thought today's young ladies are so interested in Al, coding, and the like?" someone asked, glancing first at Vesta and then at Charlene. The times have evolved. "Indeed," someone else added. Hank informed me that there are more talented people nowadays and that our nation's future is bright after speaking with Ms. Hawkins at the exhibition.

"Ms. Hawkins is a bright young woman from a prestigious university. Vesta grinned modestly as she heard the praise. "I feel flattered. Because Thorne was a high-status man, everyone preferred Vesta as his woman. Regarding Charlene, Despite the fact that she was merely employed at Stewart's Corporation, everyone acknowledged her beauty. They didn't give her much attention because she had no other support, even if her relationship with Stewart was unclear. Vesta offered Thorne a piece of steak when the supper was ready, and he accepted it without question. The conversation then gradually shifted to discussing the possible future of several of the expo's exhibits. "Speaking of which, Mr. Henderson, it appears that your driverless vehicle and Mr. Ferguson's intelligent traffic programming language are a good fit," someone said. I'm very thrilled about it. Are you guys not thinking about working together?Everyone had settled into their seats for dinner for quite a while.
