Chapter 94. A needle in a haystack

Claire stared at the news on her computer screen, dumbfounded

She never expected to see that HP and Venus AMD had made an official partnership.

Her thoughts was racing with an overwhelming sense of betrayal from Mr. Rodriguez, and the news that Hip had released instantly felt like a slap in the face, When Mr. Rodriguez had proposed a partnership to her, he hadn't rushed to announce it to the press.

Claire scoffed, a mix of disbelief and anger bubbling inside her. She looked up at Sandra, who stood nearby.

"This is not what I imagined," Claire muttered to herself, her fingers scrolling down the news feed in a desperate search for more information.

She stopped at one particular headline and cliclued on it, feeling a knot tighten in her stomach. The article featured a video of Venus AMD launching their new software.

"Am seeing things?" she whispered, trying to make sense of the situation.

Sandra, still standing nearby, noticed the change in Claire's demeanor, "What's wrong?" she asked, concerned lacing her voor
