Drover Night.
I entrusted Munchkin to Fred’s care just so he could spend more time with Tina and then came here with Theo.
As expected of a night devoted to technology, even the exterior decorations were special. They were made to look like a whole computer program.
For someone like me who did not understand these sorts of things very well, the decorations gave me a headache. I could not understand them one bit.
Since two people could enter with each invitation, I entered with Theo. Meanwhile, Nicky was new to this event as well, so she was busy looking around.
I heard from Theo that 'Drover Night' was named after a person.
The man’s name was Drover Flynn, and since he had studied in this industry for many years and contributed a lot, they named this meeting after him.
Many of the people attending would want to have a good chat with Drover, so the invitation letter could be said to be difficult to get unless one was a leader in their own industry. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to get their hands on one.
There was a corresponding seat number on the invitation, and we quickly found ours and sat down. Our seats were right next to each other, so I sat between Theo and Nicky.
"The design here is quite creative, and you can tell it’s a technical flow at a single glance."
There were blue and black lights everywhere. They made the space look incredibly technical.
"Drover was involved in the design, and he said he wanted people who came here to have an unforgettable memory of this event."
I looked at Nicky and saw that there was a gleam of light in her eyes. It seemed like she admired this Drover guy very much too.
This ignited my curiosity even more. I truly wanted to see Drover’s true appearance quickly.
As time went on, the seats were gradually filled. After the last person was seated, the entire venue suddenly grew dark.
I squeezed Theo's hand tightly. Every single time this sort of thing had happened before, some mishap would befall me. Even now, I still had post-traumatic stress.
Theo held onto me and exerted a bit more strength into his grip. Perhaps he wanted to reassure me.
After a while, the screen in front of us began to be divided into two. It was also emitting some flowing fluorescence light, and the little dots of light emerged
together into a single word—WELCOME.
As the surrounding crowd was amazed, all of the lights were turned back on.
