Chapter 233

Since their heated clash, Hannah and Vincent hadn't crossed paths again.

Hannah buried herself in her role, dedicating sixty days to catapulting Polaris Tech and Nova Tech into industry dominance.

Nova Tech's hormone-detecting wristband launched with a frenzy, selling out instantly during pre-sales and exploding across digital platforms.

Polaris Tech's immersive narrative game, Mirror Souls, surged to the summit of platform rankings at beta, receiving stellar feedback and accumulating major revenue.

Hannah's fearless choice to spotlight a greenhorn head creator, despite resistance, turned into a legendary move within the professional circle. Within two months, Hannah's resolve and brilliance attracted admiration, quieting critics who had once labeled her a clueless kept woman or those who'd once underestimated her post-split and vision loss.

That afternoon, after a session ended, Hannah entered her workspace. Felix presented her with an elegant gold-lettered card for Silverwood University's hundred-year ceremony-a distinction reserved for elite alumni.

Hannah's chest fluttered. It marked her debut receiving that honor. Before now, she'd only seen such an invitation go to Vincent.

"Should be fun," Felix remarked, studying her expression. "Planning to attend?"

"Maybe," Hannah muttered, flinging the card aside.Mingling wasn't her thing.

"You've been running nonstop for weeks. Take time off. The invite says you can show up with loved ones,associates, or friends," Felix uurged.

Hannah, sorting documents, looked up. "You are desperate to go?"

Felix hesitated and then gave a subtle nod. He was craving uninterrupted time with Hannah-something their recent workload hadn't allowed.

After pondering a beat, Hannah relented. "Alright,we'll attend." She figured she could use a break.

Felix's delighted expression radiated enough joy to brighten the entire building.

When the centenary bash at Silverwood University arrived,high-profile guests flooded the entryway.

Just as Hannah and Felix exited their glossy vehicle,she noticed familiar figures engaging nearby.

Tyler Craig, an economics professor, was laughing beside the distinguished academician Bjorn Haywood.Flanking Bjorn was Miles.

Hannah wasn't quite surprised. She'd done her homework on Miles while investigating VitraMind.He'd graduated from Silverwood University, three years ahead of her. Bjorn and Miles seemed tight,with Miles attentively nodding as Bjorn spoke.

When Hannah's gaze met Miles's, Miles gave Bjorn and Tyler a nod before approaching Hannah.

Felix and Hannah exchanged courteous greetings with Miles.

"Caught you off guard, Mr. Whitaker?" Hannah joked,spotting the flicker of shock across his face.

"A bit," Miles admitted. Back when Hannah pitched her proposal, she hadn't mentioned a thing about them being alumni. He straightened his gilded eyewear.

Hannah offered a playful smirk. "Didn't realize you wore glasses."

Miles arched a brow. "Not my vibe?"

"No, they suit you," Hannah replied, holding her grin. "Mr.Whitaker, I've got some thoughts on Polaris Tech's next moves I'd love to bounce off you,"Hannah added.

They dove into a spirited back-and-forth, ideas flying.

Felx stood off to the side, struggling to jump in.

Nearby, Tyler and Bjorn observed Miles and Hannah's exchange, faces glowing with unmistakable appreciation.

Tyler leaned over and said quietly, "They make such a perfect match. Think the online buzz about them dating has some truth?"

The internet had been swirling with talk of Hannah and Miles being romantically linked, based on their constant appearances together.

Bjorn nodded. "I'd like it to be real. They're well-matched. Imagine their kids, total heartbreakers!"

Tyler's tone mellowed. "Yeah. Alas, too bad about Hannah and Vincent. They were wild about each other back then."

Bjorn waved it off. "Too bad? Please. Hannah is dominating her field, and Vincent's career thrives.Best-case scenario. Their intense, messy
