Chapter 220:
Intent on signing the contract with Wilson sooner, Amelia ended the call and hurried back to NovaSphere Technologies’ Research Department.
She might have been the brains behind the AI program, but her unfamiliarity with NovaSphere Technologies’ ongoing projects led to failure after failure in test runs.
Relief finally washed over her at four in the afternoon the next day, when the system and the company’s intelligent robot synced without a glitch.
When Wilson suggested dinner, she politely turned him down and made her way to the airport, the signed contract clutched tightly in her grasp.
Matias had reached the airport before she did, and when he spotted her, emotion filled his eyes.
Grinning, Amelia held up the contract and said, “It worked out for us p>

Settling into her seat on the plane, Amelia drifted off into a deep, dreamless sleep. Matias listened to her quiet breathing and shook his head when the flight attendant offered food.
Only when the plane landed did he gently wake Amelia.
A car, arranged by Davin, was waiting for them outside the airport. By the time they pulled away, it was already half past five, leaving only thirty minutes before the Stewart Group’s office would close.
All the way, Matias kept urging the driver to speed up.
Soon, the car reached the final intersection near the Stewart Group headquarters, and Matias said with a smile, “We’ve arrived just in time, Amelia p>
That remark made Amelia smile. Just as she drew breath to reply, her phone buzzed.
Instead of a name, the screen showed only numbers. Amelia answered the call, instantly hearing the urgency in Erik’s voice.
Erik got straight to the point, telling her that someone was on the brink of jumping off a building at the company’s construction site on the east side of Kretol. Reporters from every media outlet in town were already gathered there.
Senior executives at the Stewart Group should have been the first to respond, but Jewell and the others were too tangled up in their own race for the CEO seat to bother.
Wyatt had started that project himself, and now, if disaster struck, the blame would fall squarely on his shoulders. Erik had rushed to the site but couldn’t manage the chaos alone, leaving him with no choice but to call Amelia for help.
The call ended just as the light switched to green. Amelia paused for a second to think, then turned to the driver and said, “We need to get to a construction site right away p>
“Amelia!” Matias exclaimed in shock, staring at her wide-eyed.
