Chapter 449

For safety's sake, Charlene hired two extra caregivers to look after Sybil and asked them to keep an eye on the situation in Room 1003 as well.

That very night, she got word that the patient in 1003 had already been discharged early.

Even though Georgina had left the hospital without incident, Charlene didn't let the caregivers go just yet. She decided to keep them around to continue caring for Sybil, just to be safe.

Stewart was making good progress negotiating a self-driving car project, and he'd been swamped with work lately. So, when the government hosted its annual high- profile Business Excellence Conference, Charlene attended on his behalf.

The event was a way for the government to recognize and reward companies for their development and contributions to the industry.

This year, between six and seven hundred companies had received invitations.

Charlene didn't arrive especially early. As soon as she entered, Granger Harden wrapped up his conversation and made a beeline toward her. "Ms. Ross, glad you could make it."

Charlene nodded. "Long time, no see."

Vesta was there as well, representing Neural Nexus Tech.

Ever since the conference began, Granger had barely taken his eyes off the entrance. The moment Charlene arrived, he wasted no time heading over to greet her-which didn't surprise her in the least.
