Chapter 357

Keith had just come in carrying a pot of herbal tea when Elodie happened to walk by. She ignored him completely, brushing past without so much as a glance.

She didn't even look back.

Keith was taken aback. He glanced at Jarrod, then at the tea in his hands. “Mr. Silverstein, should I...?"

Jarrod sat unmoving on the sofa, absently rubbing his knuckles. After a moment, he replied with cool indifference, "Pour it out."

VistaLink Technologies had finalized negotiations with several suitable companies.

The licensing fees weren't cheap, and annual renewals were required.

The next day.

Elodie received a call from Charlie.

Elodie tensed up. Ever since she'd officially become Charlie's student, she'd felt the pressure of having him as a mentor.

"Understood. I'll keep that in mind."

Only then did Charlie continue, "Are you free tomorrow? Come by for dinner. We can talk in detail."

Elodie agreed obediently, "Of course."
