The entire floor was quiet. Jeremiah led Abigail confidently to the door of the Development Lab and kicked a few times.
No one answered, but Jeremiah didn’t seem tumprised. Before pushing the door open, he turned to Abigail and said, “Mi Gibson, please
moment.”
“Okay,” Abigail replied.
She watched Jeremiah step inside, then turned and walked down the corridor. As she reached the door of another
sen, it suddenly opened from the
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” a
“a man asked sharply.
Abigail took a step back, facing the middle–aged man standing in the doorway.
“Sorry, I’m here for work,” she said.
Timothy Newman frowned at her, clearly annoyed. “My department’s not hiring, Who brought you here?”
He looked irritated, and a flash of impatience passed through his eyes. Another one trying to sneak in through connections, he thought.
“Mr. Newman, I was just looking for you,” Jeremiah called out as he stepped out of the Development Lab and saw Timothy speaking with Abiga Jeremiah quickly walked over to stop the conversation.
“You brought her?” Timothy asked, shooting a glance at Jeremiah. “My department’s full. Take her somewhere else”
Jeremiah looked helpless. “Can’t Timothy just let me finish?‘ he thought
“Let’s not get into that now. We’ll talk inside,” Jeremiah said, pushing Timothy back into the office. He turned to Abigail and added, “Please wait”
The door shut again, Abigail tumed and walked over to the Development Lab. The
the door was wide open, and she could see
I see the computers inside.
She muttered to herself, “Top models. Wonder what the specs are like
“They’re great, of course,” someone said suddenly
Abigail turned and saw a young man walking toward her. Leon Perly glanced at her with surprise in his eyes. “Hey, gorgeous. Are you looking for someone?”
“No, I’m here for work,” Abigail answered Thinking back to Timothy’s reaction, she hesitated. “But your department manager might not agree
Leon was still surprised that such a pretty girl would want to work in their department, and then he heard that their manager didn’t agree to hire her
Leon thought, ‘No way that’s happening‘ He immediately remarked, “Don’t worry, gorgeous, I’ll make sure Tim says yes”
He thought, it’s rare for us to have a girl join the department, and she’s so pretty. There’s no way I’m letting her slip away!
The office door slammed open with a loud bang cutting off Timothy and Jeremiah’s conversation
Timothy glared at the doorway where Leon stood, his brows twitching hard. “Can’t you see I’m busy? Ever heard of knocking
“Jeremiah, that girl outside is really joining our department?” Leon’s eyes lit up
Jeremiah nodded and shot Timothy a smug book “Too bad your manager said no.”
Then he gave Timothy another look and thought, ‘Go ahead and say no again. I don’t believe for a second he’ll stick to that once Leon speaks up!
Chapter 302
“Tim, she’s already here. Just let her stay” Lean said.
Timothy was about to turn him down when Lean added slowly, “I’ll finish two more modules tonight.”
Timothy’s eyes lit up. “You said it. No backing out”
Without waiting for Leon’s reply. Timothy turned to Jeremiah. “Tine, that girl can stay for now. But let me be clear if she behaves, she can stay, if the doesn’t, I’ll kick her out without hesitation.”
Rendered speechless, Jeremiah gave Timothy a look, thinking, ‘Kicking Abigail out! If she complains to the boss, he might be the one getting kicked out
“Make sure you give her a proper job,” Jeremiah said, then opened the door and walked out.
Abigail was standing outside with her head down, lost in thought
“Ms, Gibson.” Jeremiah gave her a warm smile.
Abigail got straight to the point. “Did he agree?”
Jeremiah nodded. “He did. It was just a little misunderstanding earlier. Ms. Gibson, you can start work here without worry, I’ll head back now”
Abigail nodded and watched him leave.
The office door opened again. Leon came out behind Timothy and shot Abigailla wink. “What’s your name?”
Timothy frowned as he looked at Abigail, already thinking about what to assign her
“Abigail Gibson,” she replied.
Timothy gave a half–hearted nod. Seeing that, Leon suddenly spoke up. “There’s an empty spot next to my desk. She can sit there and help out with a few
things.
Timothy didn’t object Leon jumped on the opportunity and offered to take Abigail over. Timothy, of course, knew exactly what Leon was up to. He glared at Leon and waved them off, grumbling, “Just go.”
Leon chuckled, gave Abigail a look, and quickly led her away
He brought her to the Development Lab, walked over to a spot in the back, and pointed at a computer. “This is where twork, and now it’s yours too. Let’s make a good team.”
Abigail glanced at him and gave a
small smile. “Sure.”
Meanwhile, Stephen’s car had just pulled up outside the company building
“Dani, are you sure you don’t want me to come up with you!” Stephen looked at Daniella with concern
“Stevie, rll be fine on my own.” Daniella’s voice was so. “if you see Abby, please talk to her if she’s willing to let me marry Ralphie, asks
Stephen’s expression darkened. “It’s not up to her. She has to give him up.”
He didn’t care at all that Abigail was his biological sister. Even his tone was harsh.
Daniella lowered her eyes, hiding the malice in them.
