Meanwhile, Lillian continued with her daily work. Leonard had postponed his return again, so she was temporarily staying with the Mercer family.
Her work was progressing smoothly. Considering her health, she wasn't rushing things.
With the support of the Li Algorithm, the core programming for her project was nearly complete. Now, she and Victor were busy running calculations, just waiting for the final moment to make the announcement.
Victor was extremely thorough and cautious, which matched Lillian's style.
Neither of them would announce anything until they were absolutely certain.
Emma came by to update Lillian on the recruitment of aviation talent.
With a generous offer on the table, they had indeed attracted a qualified candidate.
"Ms. Mercer, we've done a background check on the candidate. We're just waiting for you to conduct the final interview and make a decision."
Lillian looked at the file. "Talent like this is certainly hard to come by. I just wonder why she would leave a top-tier institution to come to my small, private company."
Her eyes scanned the resume's education and work experience sections several times before landing on the photo, and finally, on the name: Celia Bennett (formerly Candy).
Emma explained, "She needs money, desperately. Also, her previous employer was a sensitive government agency, so we couldn't dig up the deeper reasons. You'll probably have to ask her yourself or investigate further, Ms. Mercer."
Lillian nodded. "Contact her. Tell her she can come in for an interview whenever it's convenient for her."
Emma immediately called Celia Bennett, who happened to be nearby and arrived at the company in less than fifteen minutes.
She came in a hurry, without any preparation, dressed very casually.
