Frankie was slightly surprised.
The young woman he saw at the hospital the day before had her hair disheveled by Rebecca’s mother-in-law, so he didn’t get a clear look at her face.
This young woman looked so much like her!
Frankie picked up his speed, trying to approach her to confirm his speculation.
However, just at that moment, the elevator arrived, and Keira and Jalen entered it.
By the time Frankie got there, he only saw the elevator doors slowly closing. What an unfortunate coincidence.
Frankie wasn’t in a hurry, for the young lady had left her phone number when she called him the night before.
After the negotiations with the Horton Group were over, he could call her to express his gratitude. He could discuss a proper way to thank her with his family.

Keira didn’t see Frankie. She went to the R&D department with Jalen.
As soon as they entered the office, they saw their colleagues pulling their hair out in front of their computers.
“Tomorrow is Friday, and Vice President Horton is really making things difficult for us by asking us to submit the plan!”
“I think we can give up now. This task is impossible for a human to complete.” “Jalen went home to sleep last night. Does that mean he has given up?” “I wonder how Mr. Olsen is doing? Could she bring us a surprise?” Luca immediately said, “Don’t say that. It’ll put too much pressure on her. No matter how talented Keira is, she can’t be compared to Dr. South. Age is a factor…”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
When they saw Keira and Jalen, the group immediately started gossiping excitedly, “Jalen, did you meet Dr. South at the gathering last night?”
Jalen rolled his eyes. “How could Dr. South possibly attend such a gathering? If he showed up, that bunch of people would eat him alive!”
Did you meet Mr. Morgan then? Did he say what Dr. South is researching lately?”
“No, he didn’t.”Jalen Riley suddenly looked at Keira. “But we could ask Keira.
She seems to be on good terms with him.”
What? Miss Olsen, you actually know Samuel Morgan! That means you might as well know Dr. South?”
Everyone looked at Keira together, “Miss Olsen, could you introduce us to Dr. South if there’s a chance in the future?”
Keira canned the group and saw their faces filled with joy and expectancy.
She smiled faintly. “Sure, we might even work together someday.” Everyone burst out laughing at her words.
Let s forget about that. I don’t even dare to dream of it!”
“I am content just to see Dr. South in person!”
“If we could get his guidance, it would be such a benefit!”

Everyone laughed and talked, and finally, they began to work when Jalen started yelling angrily. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Keira took her laptop to her own office. Before she entered, Jalen stopped her. “Don’t push yourself. The intensity of this project far exceeds our team’s capability. Our superiors are aware of this. They won’t let Jake hurt the team’s morale.”
Listening to his words of comfort, Keira smiled. “Don’t worry. Trust me.”
Jake stood outside the office, gazing at Keira.
She had beautiful features, and the confident and bright smile on her face reminded him of her university days. It seemed like any hardship could be easily overcome in her presence.
But where did her confidence come from?
Apart from Dr. South, no one could complete such an arduous task in such a short time!
He turned around, walked to the resting area, and called Isla on his cell phone. Before tomorrow, can Dr. South send me the solution?”
Isla tried to stall. “Jake, Dr. South is very busy. He’s abroad…”
Jake said irritably, “If you keep stalling, Keira Olsen and the others will solve the problem!”
Isla sounded a little panic-stricken. “I’ll tell him to hurry up.”
Jake narrowed his eyes abruptly. “Isla, you’re not lying to me, are you?”
“Of course not. I’ll go and talk to Dr. South now.”
Isla hung up and became frantic.
These two days, she had been using Mrs. Olsen’s email to send Dr. South messages, but his replies were ruthless, saying that he was on a business trip and not to be disturbed!
She wouldn’t be able to provide a solution by the following day. When Jake saw that she had lost her value, he might call off the engagement…
No!
She absolutely couldn’t allow that to happen.
Determination suddenly flashed across her eyes, and she entered the ward to see Mrs. Olsen. “Mom, do you know the Allens from Clance? Jake wants to make contact with them.”
Mrs. Olsen’s condition had been stable for the past few days, and she was ready to be discharged the following day.
She had been reading a book in bed. Upon hearing Isla’s words, her fingers tightened, but then she looked up and said, “No.”
Isla’s eyes flickered.
Mrs. Olsen’s reaction clearly hinted that she knew the Allens but didn’t want to introduce Isla to them!
Isla decided this selfish woman wasn’t fit to be a mother.
She wasn’t like Poppy, who had always indulged her since childhood!
Now that Mrs. Olsen was unwilling to help her, what should she do?
Isla was truly in a panic.
Keira didn’t work on the entire project on her own; her colleagues in Group One helped a lot.
By the time they clocked out, the general plan was almost determined and just needed a bit more refinement.
Keira brought her laptop to the underground parking lot. After getting into Lewis’s Bentley, she noticed that he wasn’t in the car.
The driver explained, “Mr. Horton has an appointment tonight. He told me to send you home first.”
Keira didn’t think much of it. “Alright.”
However, Lewis didn’t come back the whole night.
The next day.
Keira brought the plan that she worked on overnight with her to work, full of excitement.
As soon as she arrived in the research department, she saw Jake standing in the rest area with a cup of coffee, clearly waiting for her. “Just a friendly reminder, Keira, today is the last day. If you don’t submit the solution before the end of work, I win our bet, and you’ll have to take responsibility for what you said!” Keira didn’t know what to say.
Did this man have nothing to do all day?
She rolled her eyes and walked to her office, but Jake followed her, “If you work for me in the future, I won’t treat you badly. At least I can introduce you to Dr South…”
Keira scoffed. “Don’t bother.”
Jake said angrily, “I know you’ve got on good terms with Samuel Morgan and think you don’t need my help, but do you think he’ll introduce Dr. South to you? He just takes you as a plaything! If he had any real feelings for you, he would have helped you solve the problem!”
“I don’t need help.”
Jake laughed, “Really? Other people praise you as a genius, and you really begin to compare yourself to Dr. South, thinking you can come up with a solution?!” “My solution is already complete.”
Keira’s laughing eyes were full of irony. “On the other hand, Vice President Horton, did you get Dr.. South’s solution yet?”
