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.
