I was furious. After they left, I left the stall and returned to my seat, my face filled with anger."Are you feeling unwell?" Luke asked in a low voice, noticing my return. "Do you need to go back and rest?""I'm not unwell, I'm just..." I almost blurted out everything Joey had done, but remembering she was Luke's ideal, I paused and said, "I just ran into Ms. Jefferson from the interest class in the restroom. She was telling someone that we're con artists here to scam people at the conference. From her tone, she seems to have a deep misunderstanding about us. When the conference ends and we try to connect with people on our list, she might jump out and label us as 'frauds!'""Did she insult you?" Luke's expression darkened further."She didn't know I overheard her conversation. If this blows up, it'll be hard to smooth over."Though today's AI conference wasn't large, dozens of media outlets were present. Any disturbance would be quickly reported.With today's fast-paced intern

"Mr. Walker answered the call. I don't know the specifics of the situation."Even if there was a real emergency, it would be confidential company information that couldn't be shared. Joey's question was inappropriate!"I understand. I'll inform them and we can talk once Luke is available," Joey said, sounding disappointed."Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Parker."After ending the call, I pondered. Luke seemed to have a good understanding of Joey's character based on his earlier reaction. His unwavering love for her must be genuine!At the hotel, as I got out of the car, I noticed a man in an old-fashioned suit nearby.It was the old man from the other day. Had he gotten lost again?I quickly informed Luke and hurried over to the old man, a worried expression on my face.He was looking around when he spotted me. His face lit up with a smile. "I finally found you!""Sir, did you come here specifically to find me?" Despite our brief encounter, I sensed a genuine purity fro

The old man and Professor Killiney must be close friends for him to speak so candidly."Professor Killiney's golden retriever has a beautiful, glossy coat. It's well cared for," I said.The golden retriever was quite plump. If it weren't for its large, imposing size, I would have been tempted to pet it."'Professor Killiney' sounds too formal. Call him Grandpa Patrick!" the old man suggested.The old man's friendly demeanor contrasted sharply with Professor Killiney's stern, dignified expression. I observed Killiney's face carefully, then just smiled at the old man without speaking.The old man glared at Killiney. "A smile makes you look ten years younger. Stop frowning all the time. You'll scare the young lady!"Professor Killiney didn't respond.The old man's face broke into a pleading smile. He lowered his voice slightly, "Give me some face in front of the young lady.""Your face isn't as important as her trying to get me to take on a student.""Taking on a student is good!

"I'd have to meet the person she's recommending first before I make a decision," Professor Killiney admitted.The old man didn't pressure him to agree immediately. Instead, he called out to me, "Young lady, bring over the person you're recommending.""Sir, he's not in Brookshire," I replied. Jon's situation was unique, and I wasn't sure if he had ever flown before. He trusted Penelope, so it would be best if she could accompany him on the long journey. "I'll arrange for him to come right away.""We could go to him directly!" the old man suggested, concerned that Killiney might change his mind."Becoming a student requires sincerity. Since when do teachers chase after potential students?" Killiney frowned. "If you want to go, go ahead. I'm not going!""There's an auction in Johnsonville in three days," Luke chimed in at the right moment. "One of the items is an antique landscape painting from the 1800s. If you're interested, I can offer you both tickets to the auction."The old ma

I turned back, my face beaming at the old man."You have the most beautiful smile," the old man complimented me. He then glanced at Luke and commented, "He must be your boyfriend. You make a handsome couple!""Oh no, sir, you've misunderstood! He's actually my boss!" How could I ever compare to someone like Luke? The old man was giving me too much credit! Suddenly, I realized that I hadn't even introduced Luke to them yet. "This is Luke from JL Capital," I quickly added, emphasizing his success as a partner and Johnsonville's famous bachelor.I stopped mid-sentence, remembering Professor Killiney's disdain for businessmen."He's Luke Walker, a partner at JL Capital," Professor Killiney interrupted calmly. "He's been in the news lately because Hanque's new car model, based on Jon's design concepts, has been selling well."Luke chimed in, "Jon has many more meaningful design ideas, like using AI for facial recognition. If we can continuously improve and promote this project, it coul

They had experienced job loss, betrayal from loved ones, and the breakdown of their families. Both of them had lost hope and the desire to live.Because they had gone through similar hardships, they saw themselves reflected in each other. They provided encouragement and support during those challenging times.Their genuine friendship has endured until the present day.The old man shared that even if his own children were to abandon him, Professor Killiney would never leave him behind.As he said this, his face, filled with pride, also displayed a hint of guilt.This guilt likely stemmed from his illness, which he believed might burden Killiney.In that moment, I thought of Wendy. We never considered each other as burdens, but instead felt that we weren't doing enough for one another.Upon sharing this, I noticed tears shimmering in the old man's eyes, and I felt a lump forming in my throat....In the suburbs.Just as we arrived at Jon's residence, Joey called."Ms. Middleto

"She'll be here soon," I said, reassuring Annette that Penelope would keep her promise.Just as I spoke, Penelope arrived at the door."Penelope! Annette!" Penelope greeted us with a cheerful smile. Upon seeing Luke standing beside me, she quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Walker."Luke nodded in acknowledgement.Penelope then turned her attention to the elderly man and Professor Killiney. I introduced them, saying, "This is my cousin, Penelope. This is Professor Killiney, and..."In the midst of introductions, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to ask the elderly man's name, as I had been referring to him as 'Sir' so frequently."My name is Karl Shaw. Since you're Jen's cousin, you can call me Grandpa Shaw," Karl said, understanding my predicament and coming to my rescue."Hello, Grandpa Shaw. Hello, Professor Killiney," Penelope greeted them warmly.Karl responded with a kind smile and then playfully nudged the stern-faced Professor Killiney. "You're the elder here, t

Annette had noticed Jon's progress and was genuinely happy for him. "He asked for ice cream this morning. I bought the ingredients and will make extra for everyone to try later.""Thank you, Annette!"I took the tray with the tea that Annette had prepared and carried it to the living room.Karl and Professor Killiney were still examining Jon's "ornaments," arguing heatedly."I think this green car is the most stylish!""The black car is the most valuable. Yours is all show. You're an amateur, don't argue with an expert like me!""Let me interview you then. As an expert who's been out of the game for five years, how does it feel to be outclassed by a youngster?" Karl held up the small car like a microphone to Professor Killiney's face."So what if he outclasses me in practical skills? He still has to become my student!""Tsk, tsk. Earlier you were reluctant to take him on, and now you've changed your mind so quickly?" Karl smirked. "I think this kid's a genius. He could achieve
