Jake exclaimed in shock, âYouâve finished it? How is that possible?!â
Having graduated in the field of energy, he was well aware of the complexity involved in the work.
Thatâs why he didnât find it odd when Isla said that Dr. South needed more time and hadnât yet given him the solution.
How on earth could Keira have finished so quickly?
Keira narrowed her eyes. âIâll organize everything and send it to you later, and youâll know. Jake, donât forget what you promised me!â
After saying this, she entered Group Oneâs office.
As soon as she walked in, members of her group surrounded her. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luca, being vigilant, glared at Jake. âKeira, did he belittle you again with Dr.
South?â
Se??ch ?ew?o?e?/o?g o? ?oo?l?
The rest of the members immediately chimed in.
âMiss Olsen, donât take him seriously!â
âExactly, being so competent at your age already makes you top-notch! Donât compare yourself with Dr. South.
-Youâre already amazing! Youâre so young, yet youâre more impressive than anyone else here!â
Jalen came out of his office.
From the looks of it, he must have stayed over at the company again the night before.
He frowned and looked at Keira. âDonât worry. I stayed up all night and figured out a rough solution to the problem. If we work extra time today, even if we canât provide a complete solution, at least a suggestion is enoughâ¦
He had also sent a WhatsApp message to his cousin, explaining the situation in the R&D department.
Regarding Jakeâs pressure on the department, Jalen knew that Lewis would support him!
Keira was touched by their kind words.
She smiled, âThank you, but itâs not necessary. Iâve already finished it.â
Jalen waved his hand. âYou donât have to worry about this anymore. Iâll talk toâ¦
What?â
His eyes widened in surprise. âYouâve finished?
The others also looked at her in disbelief, âMiss Olsen, what did you just say?
Am I hallucinating from fatigue?â
Luca laughed bitterly. âKeira, donât joke around with us!â
Keira laughed. âIâm about to send an email and Iâll cc everyone.â
She walked into her office with her laptop.
The department members and Jalen stood there, looking at each other, still in disbelief.
It wasnât until the sound of a new email pinged from someoneâs computer that everyone returned to their desks and opened their email.
Sure enough, they saw an email sent by Keira.
Everyone immediately downloaded the attachments and opened them. The content left them stunned.
For a moment, the department went quiet.
Seeing everyone engrossed in reading the solution, Keira quietly left the office and headed to the rooftop.
With her work completed, she intended to meet Lewis to retrieve the book on neurology.
She hadnât forgotten about making the medicine for old Mrs. Horton.
Rooftop, inside the office.
Lewis was reviewing some documents when Tom entered abruptly, âBoss, Miss
Olsen is here to see you.â
He paused, the pen leaving a trail on the paper.
At the small of his back, it felt like he could still feel her soft touch, which slowly turned into burning heat.
He moistened his lips, his voice deep. âEnter.â
As soon as Keira entered, she saw Lewis sitting quietly there. He didnât lookup and said softly, âI know about the research and development department. Itâs alright if you guys canât find the solution. The company has a complete set of rules and regulations that will protect your legal rights.
Keira laughed. âI didnât come here because of the R&D departmentâs issues. I came here because⦠I was thinking about youâ¦â
Her voice trailed off, and a sudden itch in her throat made her pause.
Lewisâs hand shook, ruining a document that had just been printed.
His throat tightened a little. He slowly looked up and saw Keira clearing her throat before speaking again. âI was thinking about your book, the one from
the library.â
Lewis was speechless.
He took a deep breath but felt a little desolate deep down.
He casually picked up that book from his desk and handed it to Keira. When she took it, he said lightly, âNext time, donât stop in the middle of your sentence.â Keira happily took the book, oblivious to his strange remark, and said casually, âRight, thank you.â
She then turned to leave.
Only after she had left the room did Lewis drop his gaze.
He laughed softly.
Interestingly, Keira hadnât taken the kiss in the car to heart while he had been overthinking it for two days⦠He was overreacting.
Whatâs more, Keira already had a boyfriend.
Lewis regained his usual calm and composure.
Now that the R&D work was completed, Keira completely let go and spent the whole day researching Alzheimerâs disease.
As it approached clock-off time, the quiet office finally stirred.
The director of the R&D department and an angry Jake walked in.
Jalen had just finished verifying Keiraâs solution and found no problems at all. He excitedly informed the director, âOur company really struck gold this time. Keiraâs solution will be as good as Dr. Southâs!
The director frowned, while Jake snorted. âYeah, youâre right. Theyâre identical!â
At first, Jalen didnât catch his meaning. âHaha, sheâs as good as Dr. Southâ¦â
As he said this, he suddenly froze. âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean, she stole Dr. Southâs solution!!â
After Jake finished speaking, he sneered at Keira. âIn the afternoon, I received Dr Southâs solution, and itâs almost identical to yours! I wondered how you seemed so composed, and it turns out you had this in mind! Did you think that because you sent your email earlier than Dr. South, the solution would be considered yours? Keira Olsen, youâre incredibly naive to think that by changing a few details we wouldnât be able to tell! How dare you steal from Dr.
South?â
Jalen frowned. âThere must be some misunderstanding here. Keira has been working in the company with us all these days. Some of the content was even completed by usâ¦â
Even though this part only accounted for twenty percent of the entire solution. Upon hearing this, Jake immediately responded, âWhat kind of misunderstanding? The two solutions are identical. Do you mean to say that rather than Keira stealing from Dr. South, Dr. South stole from Keira?! Do you think thatâs possible?â
One was a respected doctoral scholar, and the other was an undergraduate. It was clear who was more trustworthy.
Jalen was rendered speechless.
Keira frowned as she listened to their conversation.
It was unlikely Dr. South would have sent an email to Jake, so the only explanation was thatâ¦
Someone had forged her solution to seem as if it had come from Dr. South! Jake intended to use this opportunity to suppress her and her team. Was that it?
What a joke.
Keira said mildly, âCouldnât there be a third possibility?â
