Chapter 72 Stewart and Charlene felt a chill run down their spine.
Stewart quickly said, “We're already on that, developing a new product line. We should have ssamples ready by next year.” “Uh-huh." Kenton responded coldly, adding, "Don't cto seeagain until you get it done." Charlene and Stewart: "Yes, Professor Wagner." Kenton said again, “Senda review tonight." Instantly, Charlene and Stewart realized that by 'review,' their mentor meant a technical summary of today's exhibition entries.
Charlene and Stewart nodded. "Yes, sir." As the conversation concluded, Stewart quickly added, "Professor Wagner, completing it in one night might be challenging." It wasn't just challenging, but it was near impossible.
"How about a month?" he ventured, considering the vast array of exhibits and the detailed analysis required, adding to thousands of words. How could they summarize it all in one night? Kenton didn't reply but fixed them with a look. Despite his gentle demeanor, Kenton's gaze was something few could withstand. Stewart instantly straightened up. "Got it. We'll get it done!" Charlene was speechless.

Stewart explained, "He was talking about your husband." Kenton meant, “Look at the partner you've chosen!" Charlene realized it, too. But...

"Let's go," she said.
Charlene and Stewart weren't planning to leave yet. After all, that was a prnetworking opportunity, and going hso soon would be a shame.
After Kenton left, they returned to the exhibition hall. They met Thorne om again, but Charlene didn't approach him, nor did he cover. To everyone else, they seemed like strangers.
