"The success of the film festival this tis also thanks to Grant Corporation's artificial intelligence system. If
there wasn't anything managing the scenes from behind, this event wouldn't have been successful. Thank you,
President Grant, for bringing in such a good project..."
| was no longer listening to the rest of the sentence as all my attention was on the first half of the sentence. |
looked at
Jerand asked in disbelief, "Did you hear that? Does that mean he succeeded?"
"I heard it. It's a success. Let's prepare the feast."
Jersaid lightly, but my heart was filled with joy. "I have to hurry. Remember to bring over your party
poppers." In the next hour, | warmed up all the dishes and served them on the table. Then, | repeatedly urged
Jerthat the poppers had to be fired at the stas we waited for them to chome.
Hearing the sound of the car driving into the villa, | held my breath. Then, there was a sound coming from
outside the door, which was being opened slowly.

"Congratulations, President Grant~!"
With the sound of my voice, Jerand | unleashed the party poppers.
However, it was quickly followed with confusion. The person who cin was not Theo but Xander.
"Hmm? You're back, but why isn't Theo with you?"
Xander patted away the confetti on his body as he said, "President Grant seems to have been dragged back to
the company to celebrate. | vaguely heard the words ' celebratory party.’ Didn't he tell you about it?"
"No. I'll call him and ask."
| put down the party popper and took my phone. Just as | was about to make a call, Nicky's call cin instead.
When | answered it, | heard her slightly apologetic voice, "Wanda, President Grant and | can't go back hfor
the tbeing. They've set up a celebration party in the company. As soon as we left the venue, we were taken
back to Grant Corporation. He's still being surrounded right now. Would you like to cover to celebrate with
us?"
There was a lot of clamor coming from her side, and she almost had to shout to talk to me.
There was a sense of sourness rising in my heart and | felt a lump in my throat. | slowly responded, "No, that's
alright. You guys should go ahead and celebrate."
I could not hide the sadness in my voice, and Nicky probably could sense it as well." Wanda..."
Before she could say anything else, | hung up the phone.
As | turned my head around, | smiled and said, "They're not coming back for a while, so let's finish up everything
on this table and not waste anything."
"Okay!" Xander and Jersaid in unison.
We sat down together, and seeing the expression on my face, Xander asked in a low voice, "Are you all right,
Wanda?"
Waving my hand, | smiled and said, "I'm fine. Let's dig in."
Jersighed, then shook his head.
"Grant Corporation had just

launched their first artificial system project and got it on the film festival. They've made a mark here, so they
should be excited about it. The leaders should, of course, be at the celebratory party."
| took a piece of crab meat. | knew they were just trying to comfort me, so | raised my head and said, "I know. I'm
just a little bit upset, but it's nothing. Let's not talk about this anymore. Eat up. Even if he's not here, we have
Xander. Xander was great tonight too, so this feast is my gift to congratulate you."
After that, Xander and Jerno longer said anything and merely ate the big meal with me.
Ultimately, we were not able to finish all of it, and | was in no mood to clean it up. Hence, | just left the dishes on
the table and went upstairs.
| slept lightly until the middle of the night. | could smell a little bit of alcohol, but it was only for a short moment.
The smell quickly disappeared afterward.
When | opened my eyes, there was no one around. Was Theo not back yet?
| put on a coat and walked out of the room to go downstairs. Then, | saw Theo sitting in the living room with
his head up against the

Just as | was about to go forward, | saw Nicky walking out of the kitchen...
