Chapter 553

Elodie nodded.

She turned and noticed that the judges were already seated.

Besides Charlie, several others looked familiar-industry heavyweights, all of them.

The venue was massive, perfectly suited for a technology showcase.

Spectators were gradually filling the seats.

As Elodie headed over, she spotted Jarrod, who had personally escorted Sylvie.

Sylvie's expression darkened when she saw Watts and Elodie paired together. She didn't bother with a greeting, just turned to Jarrod and said, "Go on up, Jarrod. I'm fine here, you don't need to worry."

Jarrod gave a brief nod.

Elodie barely glanced his way, instead turning to discuss strategy with Watts.

Sylvie cast a wary look at Watts-she respected his skills. But the fact that he seemed interested in Elodie...

A hint of mockery curled at Sylvie's lips.

Elodie was more resourceful than she'd expected. She hadn't delivered much in terms of results, but she'd managed to snag the attention of a man. No wonder Jarrod had lost interest.

Sylvie brushed past Elodie with a cold glance and returned to her own team.

Jarrod made his way back to his seat, next to Maurice and Selma.
