After the press conference, that afternoon, Charlene and Stewart returned to

PrimeStar for a meeting.

As soon as Charlene walked into the conference room, the PrimeStar tech team

erupted in cheers. Word of what had happened at the Axiom Flux Technologies

launch had already spread.

The engineers here had worked closely with Charlene before. They knew she was

talented, but after watching the press conference, they realized she was far more

impressive than they'd ever imagined.

Everyone was congratulating her. Charlene grinned and said, "Thanks, everyone."

It took another two or three minutes for the excitement to settle down before the

meeting finally got underway.

Across the table, Gaylord Hearst watched Charlene in silence.

He'd tried to ask her out a few times recently, but she always seemed to be busy

and never had the time. He'd planned to try again in the next few days, but now...

Gaylord had thought he already understood Charlene's abilities-after all, he

often found excuses to consult her about work problems, just like the other

engineers. Yet, just like everyone else, today had shown him that Charlene was in

a league of her own.
