"The success of the film festival this time is 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...”
I was no longer listening to the rest of the sentence as all my attention was on the first half of the sentence. I looked at
Jerome and asked in disbelief, "Did you hear that? Does that mean he succeeded?"
"I heard it. It’s a success. Let’s prepare the feast.”
Jerome said lightly, but my heart was filled with joy. "I have to hurry. Remember to bring over your party poppers.” In the next hour, I warmed up all the dishes and served them on the table. Then, I repeatedly urged Jerome that the poppers had to be fired at the same time as we waited for them to come home.
Hearing the sound of the car driving into the villa, I 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, Jerome and I unleashed the party poppers.
However, it was quickly followed with confusion. The person who came in 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. I vaguely heard the words ' celebratory party.' Didn't he tell you about it?"
"No. I’ll call him and ask."
I put down the party popper and took my phone. Just as I was about to make a call, Nicky's call came in instead. When I answered it, I heard her slightly apologetic voice, "Wanda, President Grant and I can’t go back home for the time being. 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 come over to celebrate with us?"
There was a lot of clamor coming from her side, and she almost had to shout to talk to me.
