Chapter 94

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. He'd said he wanted to make it a surprise. Tums out, it is differnt from what he'd promised

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

"Is this really happening? Did they toy with us?" Claire asked, referring to Hp..

Sandra hesitated, unsure of how to respond. Before she could muster a reply, Claire cut her off with a sharp breath.

"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.

Claire already had a bad feeling about it, but she clicked on the video.

Her heart fell as she watched.

"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
