Seriously?

Even Jalen, a Ph.D. who returned to the country after studying abroad, couldn’t solve such a core issue immediately!

Keira was only an undergraduate. Even if Professor Miller praised her talent, could she solve it no matter how well she defied expectations?

Luca thought those things as he clicked the mouse. He opened that email, and then, he blinked!!

“Bang!”

Jalen slammed the documents he held onto the table and raised his chin slightly. “Meeting time!”

Luca didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he was staring at that email.

“Luca! Is your butt glued to the chair?!”

Jalen was in a bad mood, and seeing Luca moving slowly, he shouted angrily.

Luca glanced at the content of the email, saw that it was a blank file, and immediately stood up. “Coming. I’m coming…”

Keira failed to solve the problem, and she had probably sent this email by mistake.

When he left his computer, the attachment that had just finished buffering in the email was lying quietly in the interface…

In the office.

Jalen frowned and briefly explained the situation at the just concluded meeting. He didn’t mention Keira and just said, “In two days, if this core issue cannot be solved, I’ll resign.”

The moment these words came out, the office became quiet.

Jalen did have a temper and often scolded them, but he was a qualified team leader, and they all respected him.

After a while of silence, everyone started talking.

“Jalen, just tell us what to do.”

“Yes, for the next two days, we won’t sleep. Let’s do our best!”

Jalen delegated work, increasing each employee’s workload several times, yet nobody complained.

It was only after the meeting that Jalen felt like he had forgotten something…

He suddenly turned to Luca. “Where’s Keira?”

How come she wasn’t at work yet?

Luca shook his head, but another person said, “She came in in the morning, clocked in, and then went to the library.”

The complexion on Jalen’s face instantly turned gloomy!

He was struggling against Jake for her, but that woman had gone out again?!

Someone couldn’t help saying, “Jalen, she’s too ungrateful. If she worked with us on this project, she would gain so much work experience!”

Luca didn’t agree with Keira’s approach but still spoke for her. “She just graduated from college. She doesn’t understand these things… Besides, our stuff is too complicated for her. She probably won’t understand…”

“We’re a team. Even if she doesn’t understand, she should still stay and help at this key moment, right? Is she taking a salary and not working? Who does that!”

“That’s right. What’s wrong with this girl? Is our team beginning to keep loafers?”

Jalen took a deep breath, feeling that Keira was ungrateful!

On the roof.

Tom had been keeping an eye on the situation below and knew more about it than Group One. He was complaining to Lewis.

“Jalen is working frantically for her while she is leisurely reading in the library

all morning… She is a real femme fatale!”

Lewis frowned, his cool scrutinizing eyes glancing at Tom. “Reading all morning?”

“Yes, she clocked in and went there. She hasn’t even had lunch yet!”

“What book?”

“I didn’t pay attention to that. I assume it’s a paper on new energy?”

“…You assume?”

The clear displeasure in Lewis’s voice gave Tom a chill, but he suddenly realized something. “She’s been targeting the library since she started working, so her purpose in joining Horton Group is to search for information?”

What book she was reading became hugely important!

Tom bowed his head, “I’ll find out now!”

But Lewis had already stood up. He was buttoning his blazer as he walked briskly out, only leaving a word behind. “Don’t bother.”

He quickly arrived at the library and found her among the books in the neurology category.

She was looking up, her eyes swiftly sweeping across a row of books, then coming to rest at the highest level of the shelf.

She then saw something. She dragged over a ladder, climbed up, and reached for the book.

She was wearing a loose hooded sweatshirt today, along with skinny jeans.

Her movement raised the lower hem of her sweatshirt, revealing her leg.

From Lewis’s perspective, her legs were slender and straight, and her jeans wrapped around the pretty curves of her derriere, above which was her fair waist!!

Lewis paused and slowly looked away. Her fair waist seemed to be imprinted on his brain and sparked a thought in his mind. “Her waist is so thin that I can wrap my hand around it.”

Keira didn’t notice him. After getting the book, she casually flipped through it, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

The book she wanted to find was this one!

Overjoyed, she momentarily forgot she was still on the ladder and stepped forward as if she wanted to go to the seat next to her, but her foot missed the step, and she lost her balance!

Now she was in trouble.

Just as Keira thought of this, she fell into the warm and strong arms of someone…

It was only then she realized that Lewis caught her.

The two were very close, and she could smell his vanilla fragrance. His large hand was holding her butt, and the burning heat from his palm went through

her thin jeans…

Keira’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she felt so embarrassed! All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

But she understood that he didn’t mean to do that. It was just a coincidence.

Keira hastily jumped down, calming herself down. “Mr. Horton, thank you.”

She blushed a little.

Lewis paused, subconsciously looking at his empty hand.

She was so light and soft… The touch just now made him suddenly feel a bit parched, He had been running the business for years, but for the first time, he felt a little at a loss.

He lowered his gaze, his eyelashes slightly trembling. He controlled himself and said, “You’re welcome.”

There was a moment of awkward silence.

Keira cleared her throat. “I just remembered I had something to do in the R&D department. I need to go back.”

“…Okay.”

With Lewis’s permission, Keira quickly hid the book she just found in a corner out of sight, worried someone else might borrow it, then left the library.

By the time she reached the elevator, her face was still burning a little.

Keira casually grabbed something to eat and returned to Group On in the research department.

As soon as she entered, she noticed something was wrong right away.

The colleagues who were originally quite friendly toward her now seemed like they didn’t see her…

Kira didn’t understand and just thought everyone was not familiar with her.

In the afternoon, she went to the library again.

But she was stopped by Luca, who said in a low voice, “Don’t go in the afternoon…”

“Why?”

Kira was puzzled: “Didn’t they say that as long as my own work is done, I can go?”

Luca immediately looked around and indeed saw the odd looks from his colleagues.

He too started to become impatient and said bitterly, “Yes, once the work is done, you can go, but have you finished the work I assigned you last week?”

“Yes, it’s done!”

“I know it’s difficult and you can’t solve it overnight, so you need to stay here and………. wait, what?!”
