That was when Bradley rerendered something Organisers from the International Tech Form had provingly respihed out, hoping Joshua could serve axsi band witlascarim and present award at the Wallingtonlab Tech Conference

wack then, Bradley had refined on leshus’s behalf With Joshua’s packed schedule, he figured there was no point even asking.

What he hadn’t expected was for Shermaine to show up not just as a participant, but as one of the top–fier experts. That changed everything.

Stenned, Bradley had called the organizers back and told them Joshua was available after all. The organizers were overjoyed and locked him in right

gway

John was, after all, a global powerhouse in renewable energy and Al. His recent breakthroughs had shaken the entire industry, and his net worth had

landed him in the global top ten at just thirty–one.

Once Shermaine and Joshus parted ways, Harold led her backstage.

The lounge was expansive and luxurious. Each contestant had a private armchair, and glass tables were laid out with drinks and fresh fruit.

When Shermaine walked in, about ten people were already there.

With her arrival, that made eleven. Nine more were still to come.

Shermaine was a newly promoted platinum–level expert, having jumped two ranks by completing two SSS–level missions back–to–back, an achievement that made her stand out immediately.

A massive screen in the lounge was broadcasting the red carpet, so most of the room already knew Boa was a woman, just like Kylie.

The experts varied in age, some well into their forties, others barely out of college. But regardless of age, they had all taken notice.

After a few polite greetings, Shermaine gave a slight smile and took her seat.

Coincidentally, Kylie was seated directly to her left.

“Didn’t expect you to be Boa,” Kylie said, glancing over with a smirk.

Shermaine casually reached for a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap. “Yeah,” she replied, “funny how things work out.”

She hadn’t expected Kylie to be Dolcie, either.

Dolcie was the name that had followed her through every mission she’d taken, the constant shadow. Who would’ve thought she’d suddenly reappear as some long–lost cousin? A cousin with questionable motives, especially when it came to Shermaine’s man. The whole thing was irritating beyond belief,

“I’m looking forward to seeing how you do in the challenge,” Kylie said, voice cool but loaded.

Truth was, she didn’t take Shermaine seriously. She believed she could’ve handled those two SSS missions herself. The only reason Shermaine’s Al system outperformed hers, in her mind, was that it had been built by a Wallingtonian company, handpicked for the event.

No one could outdo her when it came to Al.

Shermaine took a slow sip of water and said calmly, “Looking forward to watching me wipe the floor with you?”

Kylie’s eyes narrowed. “What makes you so sure you’ll beat me?”
