Kenneth Osborne received praise from the two big shot figures, boosting his self-confidence further.
He knew that there were no precedents to follow in his field, and he didn't want to imitate any, either.
After sitting in the lab for a while longer, he waited for the computer to finish running the optimization program. The software speed more than doubled, and the results were impressive.
He uploaded the optimized software package to the other party's site before packing up his things to head home.
Lawrence Winters happened to call him, "Hey Kenneth, when are you headed home? Should we save dinner for you?"
That's when Kenneth realized he was starving.
He slung his backpack over his shoulder, put on his Bluetooth headset, and said as he walked out, "I just left the office and should be home in about fifteen minutes. What's for dinner? I'm good with anything."
