Chapter 1176

Cally sighed. "Although this matter has now come to an end, Elena will surely hate our guts. Who knows how she’s going to make things difficult for us in the future?”

Jordan was right. Although I did not like Elena, there was nothing to pick on in terms of her ability. Otherwise, Theo would not have personally invited her to work in Grant Corporation.

If she did not have a crush on Theo, there were actually many times when her ability and work ethic amazed me.

If things went south and Elena quit in a fit o f pique, then Grant Corporation would definitely suffer a loss.

"Do you still have work to do later?"

Shannon chuckled mischievously. "If you don’t, then we can go over to my grandpa’s right now to have a meal together. There are a lot of fruits in his yard. We can have a s much of them as we want."

Lally derided her jocularly. "You foodie."

She continued after a pause, "But we still have a meeting later. We need to come up with a solution after something like that has happened in the institute."

I said, "There's an orchard not far from here with various kinds of fruits. You can go over and tour around. We’ll give you a call after our meeting."

Shannon had no choice but to agree. "Life's tough. I came all the way here to hang out with you guys but you’re leaving me here all alone."

Cally and I smiled but said no more.

On the way to the conference room, we bumped into Krayden, who smiled a little awkwardly and rushed off after greeting us.

Cally and I were a little confused. What was wrong with him?

After entering the conference room, Cally prepared some hot water in advance.

Krayden walked in with a bag of fruits and handed it to Cally while saying, "I need your help to clean fruits for us, Cally."

"I'll do it," I said, getting up.

Krayden froze and quickly said, "Oh no, I can do it myself."

I frowned, feeling a little confused now.

I cast my mind back to the past few days and remembered that I had not offended him in any way, so why was this suddenly happening?

After he went out with the fruits, I was just about to discuss it with Lally when Theo and Jordan walked into the conference room.

Elena followed behind them. When everyone had taken their seats, Keith started speaking, "Many of us are still puzzled by the burglary that happened in the research institute, but the project waits for no one. Today, we'll discuss our next course of action in detail.”

"It's been half a month since this project started, but things have come to a complete standstill due to somebody's mistake. We have no way of continuing with the project. I suggest we end all cooperation related to this project here and now," Elena said with a sullen expression.

She was not wrong, but the termination of the cooperation was not something she could decide.

Cally's expression sank after hearing what she said, but she chose to hold her tongue.

As the leaders, Theo and Jordan were here mainly to listen to everyone's opinions before making a decision.

Keith explained in detail the project's progress, then allowed everyone to express their opinions.

"Now that the project progress is stalled, I hold a huge responsibility and can’t shirk i t. But the main thing now is to find a way t o keep the project going,” Lally started first.
