A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce)

I was speaking the truth. But Bruce's frown only deepened.

Just then, the lift door opened, and I feigned a calm demeanor and walked out.

But suddenly, Bruce grabbed my wrist and pulled me backward.

"Say that again, Nancy Fisher," he grunted hoarsely and urgently, giving off an inexplicable sense of grievance.

I took a deep breath and said, "I'm just stating the facts. Am I wrong, Mr. Harold?"

"You..." Bruce began.

"Bruce," Cindy suddenly interrupted.

Bruce paused before immediately letting go of me.

Then, Cindy jogged up to Bruce and affectionately hugged his arm. "I sent you a message. Didn't you see it?"

Bruce hummed, the anger on his face fading, and his expression returning to normal.

It was as if I had imagined the confrontation.

"You seemed engrossed in your chat with Nance. What were you talking about?" The topic suddenly shifted to me.

I met Cindy's doe eyes and muttered calmly, "Nothing much. We were just discussing the use of words."

"Really?" Cindy turned to Bruce. "Are you also interested in this area, Bruce?"

"I finally found you, Nance." Caroline stood at the door, giving me a knowing look.

Grateful, I hurried to her office.

"What's wrong? He didn't seem to be in a good mood today," Caroline said.

She was always good at observations.

I sighed. "I'm to blame for my thirst for knowledge."

"What?" Caroline was confused.

"

"Mr. Harold taught me a bit of economics yesterday. So, I returned the favor by teaching the art of words to him today," I explained indifferently. Caroline sighed and pouted. "Is this how you nerds communicate?"

It seemed we were getting off track, and I had more to learn.

Observing my silence, Caroline handed me a gilded, red envelope.

"Mr. Fowler is holding a business banquet at the Vienna Winery the day after tomorrow, and many industry big shots will be there." Then, she paused before continuing, "Stack, whom you admire, will also

be attending."

I was shocked. "As in the world-renowned software engineer, Stack Wilson?"

"Yes." Caroline smiled at me. "Feeling better now?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I was too excited to speak.

Stack was a world-class software engineer whom I had admired since my college days.

And the amazing thing about him was that he didn't need a debugger. Just by scanning the code, he could expose any errors within it.

It would be my greatest honor to meet him.

So, I spent the whole night preparing the technical questions I wanted to discuss with Stack.

Somehow, news of the banquet reached Cindy.

The next morning, she texted in the

group, "Caroline, I heard that we also

received an invitation from Helix

Group. Can I tag alon

night?" én.swnovels.net

She even sent an emoji to highlight her playfulness.

Caroline wasn't a petty person. But it was unfortunate that the invitation clearly stated that each company wasonly allowed to bring one key person. én.swnovels.net
