The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

“Mr. Nolan.”

Upon seeing Nolan walk in through the door, both Franklin and Julia stood up to greet him.

Upon seeing Julia, there was no surprise on Nolan’s face.

Julia politely introduced herself again, “Hello, Mr. Nolan. My name is Julia Brown. We met before at the technology exhibition-”

“I know,” Nolan replied, his face neutral, extending his hand to shake hers.

Once Nolan sat down, Julia took the seat next to him and then said, “I have always admired you, and I’ve been hoping for an opportunity to meet you, to discuss the AI field with you face to face.”

Nolan simply responded with a brief “Mm.”

At this moment, Franklin’s phone rang. He stood up, saying to Nolan and Julia, “I’ll step out to take this call. Please, continue your discussion.”

Julia nodded.

After Franklin left, Julia picked up the menu and handed it to Nolan, saying, “Mr. Nolan, let’s order first and then chat while we eat?”

greater progress.”

Since she had come to meet Nolan, she had prepared well in advance.

She then took out her computer and said, “Let me show you the product I developed when I graduated with my PhD.”

Nolan scrolled through the mouse and reviewed her graduation project.

After going through a few sets of data, he said in a low voice, “As a graduation project, it is indeed much better than what most doctoral students present.”

Upon hearing this, Julia’s smile deepened, and her confidence grew. She was about to speak. when Nolan let go of the mouse, his gaze shifting from the computer as he asked, “Is this what you completed this year?”

Julia answered, “Yes.”
