“We have several AI projects.” Mr. Yates replied quickly, his gaze focused on Joshua, “Which one are you referring to?”

“No problem,” Joshua replied, knowing he was not there for serious business. He glanced at Cynthia and, with a meaningful smile, asked, “I’m curious, aside from Shirley, does Chairman Yates have any other daughters?”

“I’m my father’s only daughter,” Shirley confirmed, leaning against the hospital bed with a youthful voice.
