Seeing that he seemed free, Ashley ventured, “Professor, are you free tonight? I’d like to have dinner with you.” Even Mark hadn’t had dinner with Nan Zhi Zhi in ages. Mark quickly chimed in, “Yeah, Professor, are you free?”
Nan Zhi Zhi replied flatly, “I have a prior engagement.”
“Ah?” Mark’s face fell. Ashley’s did too. She was about to ask when he’d be free, when he added, “The appointment is with Chase.”
Ashley was stunned. Mark was too. He glanced at Ashley and whispered, “So, Professor… why would Chase contact you? Can you tell us?”
“He wants
to introduce someone to me. He hung up without further explanation. Mark looked at Ashley. “The person your husband wants to introduce to the Professor… could it be Tanya?”
During a meeting with the Lin family, he’d learned they also had a tech company. Tanya’s previous attempt to join their company was for their programming language, CUAP. Everyone thought their Professor had led its development. Now that Tanya couldn’t join their company, she might be seeking out the Professor to study CUAP. Or maybe she wanted to become his student.
Mark swore, “Damn it!”
