After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms novel Chapter 284

Shirley showed up right on time at the coffee shop for her two o’clock meeting with Amy.

Amy looked every bit the part in her tailored suit, sharp and confident. Just seeing her, Shirley became even more certain that Amy was the real mastermind behind Resonance AI. She jumped in with an apology, not wanting to waste a second. “Amy, I’m really sorry. I honestly had no idea Resonance AI was yours when I found your flash drive. It was pure luck. The second I saw it, I was completely amazed. I mean it, your talent is incredible.”

Amy picked up her coffee, calm and elegant, and raised her eyebrow just slightly. “Shirley, you’ve managed to turn Resonance AI into such a polished system. That takes a lot of skill. You’re pretty capable yourself.”

Shirley felt her cheeks get hot. There was no way she could admit what really happened, so she stuck to her story about stumbling onto the project by chance. She kept apologizing and throwing in compliments, hoping Amy would forgive her.

Thankfully, Amy didn’t seem like she was holding a grudge.

Shirley guessed Amy was probably just looking to cash in on the original Resonance AI anyway.

“Amy, I won’t lie, you’re exactly the kind of expert everyone wants on their team. We at The James Group would love to have you as a consultant. What do you think?”

Amy smiled, her eyes a little amused. “You’re not just here to invite me to The James Group, are you?”

Shirley’s smile slipped for a moment, but she recovered quickly. “You’re right. I also wanted to ask for your advice about Resonance AI. I’ve hit a wall and, honestly, I really need help from someone with your level of expertise. If you’re willing to help, we’ll make sure you’re well compensated.”
