Anthea was completely unaware of the buzz surrounding her on the forum.
She was busy with her tasks when suddenly a message popped up on her screen.
A: "Hey there, with the Tech Summit Global just around the corner, could I add you on WhatsApp? We’d like to arrange for someone to pick you up from the airport."
Juggling tasks with one hand, Anthea replied with ease, "Sure, send me your WhatsApp number."
A: "How about I add you instead?"
Anthea sent over her number. To keep her online life organized, she had recently set up a new account.
Soon enough, the contact request was accepted.
"Hello, I’m Mason," came the message.
"Great, see you in Capital City," Anthea responded.
Meanwhile, Mason, holding his phone, eagerly opened Anthea’s profile. To his surprise, it was blank—no posts, no personal information.
Curious, Mason turned to Eugene, who was sitting nearby. "Do you think the boss might actually be some middle-aged man?"
Eugene frowned slightly, "Or perhaps an older gentleman."
"What?" Mason was wide-eyed, "Could they really be that old?"
Eugene chuckled, "How old is Dr. Varn now?"
Mason had a moment of realization. In the tech world, notable figures often had years of experience under their belts. Dr. Varn only became famous at 46. The tech giants at Pellonia were no spring chickens either. Research and innovation take time and dedication.
So, it seemed logical that Boss YC might be an older person.
