"And who might this be?"

"Hello. I'm Mila, a friend of Mr. Whitmore's."

Before Forrest could answer, Mila introduced herself with easy confidence.

Forrest glanced at her, his tone warm and gracious. “Ms. Sutherland and I studied the same field-she's my junior. She's exceptionally talented and played a significant role in the Atlas Language Model project."

"Of course, absolutely."
