Chapter 444

The next morning, after dropping Jasmine off at school, Charlene drove back to PrimeStar.

In the days leading up to this, she'd already met with two heads of autonomous vehicle start-ups alongside Stewart, but after each meeting, she'd felt that neither was quite the right fit.

Determined to find more suitable partners, she and Stewart attended a cocktail party that evening.

They arrived early, mingled briefly, and soon spotted Thorne and Vesta across the

room.

Both Charlene and Stewart quickly averted their eyes.

Perhaps their disinterest was a bit too obvious, because Thorne and Vesta made no move to greet them either.

A little while later, Dalton Ramirez and Kelvin Scott showed up.

When Dalton caught sight of Thorne, Vesta, Charlene, and Stewart, he headed over to Charlene and Stewart first to say hello.

"Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Ross. It's been a while."

It had, in fact, been some time since they'd last seen Dalton.

Charlene and Stewart acknowledged him with polite but expressionless nods.
