The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 156

She nodded.

Finally, Alaina left the General's house with Silas.

Once they got in the car, it was dead silent.

Alaina looked out the window at the passing streetscape. Just as she was about to say she was heading to Apex, she heard the man beside her speak in a cold voice: "Why didn't you wait for me to leave together this morning?"

She replied indifferently, "I didn't. I went to the car to wait for you."

Her wrist was suddenly grabbed. He forced her to look at him, his eyes intensely dark. "Still mad?"

Alaina struggled, but couldn't break free. She simply glared back. "Mr. Summers is busy with official duties. I wouldn't dare make you angry over my petty issues, and I certainly don't have the right to be mad at you."

Silas's Adam's apple bobbed, his tone softening slightly. "We haven't found the mastermind targeting you yet. I can't let anything else happen to you."

Alaina's heart skipped a beat. Seeing his rare moment of softness, she forgot what to say for a second.

After a long pause, she said, "It's all for work. I understand."

Silas loosened his grip.

She pulled her hand back, looking out the window again. "Drop me off at Apex Microelectronics. I'm anxious to deliver the results to you."

Silas didn't say anything else, instructing Morris to drive to Apex.

Alaina walked into the equipment workshop and ran the final round of data simulations. Seeing the successful results, she let out a huge sigh of relief, her eyes welling up involuntarily.

Standing in front of the massive lithography machine, the old her would have been jumping for joy.

Now, she just stood there calmly, sending a message to the Apex team to come verify it.

The moment the message went out, the Apex lithography team swarmed in.

The CEO arrived in person as well.

Everyone held their breath. When the verification was complete and they saw the yield met the standard, the room erupted.

They hugged, cheered, and gave Alaina thumbs up, praising her brilliance.
