Chapter 195: Chapter 193: Successful Test, Picking Up the Car

Five hours passed. Cecilia alternated between sitting, standing, and pacing. She had repeated this cycle over a dozen times, but the code on the screen was still flashing by at a dizzying pace.

Their eight-person team had written an astonishing amount of code over the course of nearly two years. ’No wonder programmers code themselves bald,’ she thought.

In the midst of her waiting, she received the news that Director Lawson had won his lawsuit. The celebration party was about to start, but the work here showed no signs of finishing.

She had no choice but to call Timothy Rowe over. "How much longer will this take?"

"You must be tired of waiting, huh?" Timothy Rowe glanced at the time before venturing a guess. "Probably another two or three hours."

’Two hours?’

’Doesn’t that mean we’ll be here until eight o’clock?’

"If you have something to do, you should go ahead," Timothy Rowe said. "There shouldn’t be any more issues on our end. You don’t need to wait it out with us."

Cecilia felt a pang of indecision.

Director Lawson’s event was a celebration party, but the victory was already a done deal. There would be plenty of other chances for a celebratory dinner.

This, however, was different. Other members of their team had been trickling in, all wanting to witness the project’s success together. Deep down, she wanted the same thing.

"It’s fine. I’ll wait."

Having made up her mind, Cecilia pulled out her phone and sent messages to Estelle and Director Lawson to explain the situation.

Time ticked by, second by second. Just as Cecilia, who was waiting in a corner, began to feel drowsy, a deafening cheer suddenly erupted from the main office area, startling her so much that she shot up from her chair.

"What happened? Is it done?"

Cecilia hurried over. Members from both the Jennings Group project team and her own were excitedly high-fiving one another. Timothy Rowe pulled her over and pointed to a corner of the screen. "Cecilia, look! An integration rate of 99.58%! We did it!"

Cecilia broke into a smile. "That’s wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Paige and several of the other senior team members were so moved they started to cry. All their hard work and perseverance over this long period—wasn’t it all for this very moment?

Reginald Jennings stepped forward with a smile. "Thank you all for your hard work. Our next step will be to import the merged code back into the product and run comparison tests between the old and new data sets. We’ll send you the data as soon as it’s ready. We can talk about signing the contract once the results are in."

"Okay, no problem."

Reginald Jennings glanced at the group and added, "It’s almost nine. If you’re all up for it, I’d like to treat everyone to a late-night meal. You must be hungry, right?"

The Jennings Group staff had been bringing them fruit and snacks throughout the day, but no one had been in the mood to eat. Now that the project was a success, the hunger finally began to set in.

Timothy Rowe and his group were too polite to agree right away, but the Jennings Group employees all cheered their approval.

Seeing this, Cecilia turned to Timothy Rowe. "You guys go ahead. I think I’ll skip it. I’m a little tired today and want to head home early to rest."

"Alright. You head home and get some rest."

Cecilia then said her goodbyes to Reginald Jennings. He tried to convince her to stay, but when he saw she was insistent, he didn’t press the issue.

The next morning, dressed casually, Cecilia went to the nearest DMV to pick up her driver’s license, then took a taxi to a Rolls-Royce dealership.

It was the same friendly saleswoman who had assisted her last time.

"Miss Sterling, you’re here!"
