Cyrus was a bit surprised. Graham rarely praised anyone, and judging by his expression, whoever was behind this must truly be extraordinary.

“Good evening, everyone! Welcome to SynNexus Group’s launch event. We’re truly grateful to have you all here tonight.”
As the host wrapped up. Sarah, representing SynNexus Group, confidently took the stage to unveil their innovative creation–the medical Al robot,
Standing under the spotlight, Sarah introduced Kova’s features and uge, her yoke steady and clear. A surge of pride swept through her this was a moment she never thought she’d experience
As just a state university grad in Sogin–where master’s degrees were standard–her job int was brutal, especially after quitting her last role when the sleazy boss runed hostile after she rejected his advances.
When she first met Simone, she couldn’t help but think, “Is this for real? A teenager running a company?” She only took the job because the paycheck was too tempting to ignore
I didn’t take long for Sarah to realize how wrong she’d been. Simone wasn’t just smart–she was a natural leader. Patient yet sharp, she turned every mistake into a learning opportunity, teaching Sarah things she’d never imagined.
At work, Simone gave her full autonomy to maximize her potential. This product launch made Sarah realize her limitless possibilities–she feln privileged to join SynNexus Group, and even more so to have a CEO like Simone.

After the event, Simone asked Sarah to leave first and went to find Cyrus on her own. When Cyrus saw her, he couldn’t help but ask, “Simone, what are you doing here?”
Samone paused for a moment before replying, “A friend invited me. It wasn’t the right time to reveal her identity just yet.
Hearing her mention a friend, Cyrus didn’t press further. Just as their conversation ended, Graham let out a deliberate, heavy huff, which finally drew Simone’s attention to him.
Simone gave him a faint nod, her expression calm and indifferent. “Hello, Mr. Irwin.”
“Wh–what did you just call me?” Graham’s eyes widened in shock, and he nearly choked on his breath.
“Mr. Irwan Is there a problem?” Simone’s tone was

Graham opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words. Then, he suddenly remembered the time she had saved him–back then, she had called him “old man Thinking of that, he felt a little better, though his emotions remained complicated.
