And the Nobel Prize...
Albrecht heard the distant claps as the recipient of the Nobel Prize was announced. He found it ironic considering that his discovery was just the simple effect of photoelectricity.
Anyone would've discovered it if they were observant enough, that's why Albrecht couldn't believe that he received the Nobel for that. Then again, his contribution to theoretical physics was considerably generous, and that's one of the minor reasons why he was given the Nobel.
As he stood in front of the audience, he noticed someone lingering from the distance, smiling as she turned away. Albrecht clenched his fists in frustration as he clutched on the 'trophy' he received commemorating his Nobel.
'Yeah, right, she only came here for that... she didn't come here to see me.' He told himself, suppressing his anger as he shifted his attention to the crowd who was waiting for his speech.
He heaved a sigh of contempt.
