Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1609

John's face was a picture of helplessness. He knew Emmy felt guilty for delaying the project by over half a month and believed she was holding the team back, even though their progress was already exceptionally fast. That was why she was working so frantically to catch up. But having worked on numerous research projects, John knew better than anyone that their current efficiency was already the fastest among all the research groups at Harvard. Furthermore, the immense complexity of this project meant it was never going to be completed overnight. Yet, looking at Emmy's stubborn profile, John swallowed his protests and helplessly stayed to work another three hours of overtime with her.

The clock quietly ticked past nine in the evening. The computer screen suddenly let out a crisp beep. The data processing was complete! The screen displayed the final test results, perfectly aligning with their projected parameters! Emmy's eyes widened in astonishment, and she let out a thrilled shout.

"John! We did it! The AI model is a success!"

John shot out of his chair, staring at the data in utter disbelief. He had assumed this batch of data would only bring them closer to their expectations, never imagining it would meet the standard on the very first try. According to his calculations, they needed at least two more weeks of repeated testing to get the model running properly. He never expected such a sudden victory. "God! Emmy! You are a miracle!"

Overwhelmed with ecstatic joy, John's face flushed red as he opened his arms and walked toward Emmy, intending to give her a celebratory hug. However, just as he was about to reach her, the laboratory doors were suddenly pushed open, and a tall, imposing figure strode in. The man wore a black dress shirt with the collar slightly unbuttoned, revealing a glimpse of sharp, defined collarbones. His dark hair was slightly tousled, carrying the weary yet rugged aura of a long journey. He looked up, his deep, dangerous gaze locking onto John's outstretched arms.

A bone chilling cold shot up John's spine, making his scalp prickle. In front of this man, he suddenly felt like a quail being targeted by a hawk. He yanked his arms back instantly, then quickly turned around, pretending to be busy organizing the lab bench. Caught up in her excitement and with her back to the door, Emmy remained completely oblivious to the commotion behind her. Confused by John's abrupt retreat, she walked over to him. "John, what is wrong? Is there still an issue? But looking at the metrics, the model seems flawless. We are completely ready to enter the final testing phase."
