Claire North furrowed her brows, looking worried: "Why don’t you go and persuade sister to voluntarily leave The Veridian Institute of Medicine? Otherwise, when the two research groups compete a month from now and as the team leader she can’t produce any results, that’s when it’ll be the real joke."
"No, I won’t persuade her." Evelyn Xavier’s eyes flickered, and she said fiercely: "I want to tell everyone about this and have them all witness the spectacular moment when Raina North gets kicked out in a month! It’ll be so satisfying!"
Claire North curled her lips slightly as her lowered lashes hid the shadows in her eyes.
After Raina North received her employee badge, she went to the research lab assigned to her. Before she even pushed the door open, she heard voices full of excitement.
"What’s the deal with Director Woods? How can he let a chump become our boss?"
"I heard ’North the Chump’ is just a high school graduate. I really don’t know how she got into The Veridian Institute of Medicine?"
"Maybe she slept her way in with her looks. I’ve heard that ’North the Chump’ is really good at pleasing men."
"Everyone should be careful. What if she knocks on our doors in the middle of the night?"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and everyone was startled.
The person closest to the door with glasses was about to scold her immediately, but upon seeing Raina North’s face, his tone softened a bit: "Little sister, are you here to report to Group Two too?"
"Yes." Raina North curled her pink lips: "Hello everyone, I’m Raina North, here to report. Rest assured, you’re all very safe. I’ll firmly reject those like you."
"You are... Raina North!" Check latest chapters at NoveI(F)ire.net
As soon as Raina revealed her identity, the young people showed disgust and immediately said in dialect: "Don’t think we’ll work with someone like you."
Raina nodded, swiftly moved aside from the doorway, gesturing with her hand, and seeing them still not moving, she raised an eyebrow: "What are you all waiting for? Aren’t you going to leave? Or are you waiting for me to invite you out?"
Everyone was furious: "You’re kicking us out?"
Raina blinked: "Isn’t my meaning clear enough?"
"You! Raina North, you’re something! We’re leaving!"
The people in the lab all left in a rush.
Raina walked into the lab and quickly looked over the research progress they left behind. As expected of the young generation praised by those seniors, they were indeed talented, but with their current capabilities, they were still quite far from successfully developing the medicine.
Raina couldn’t help but shake her head.
A timid voice suddenly came from behind.
Raina turned around to see a chubby young girl standing uneasily at the door.
"Is there something you need?"
"My name is Leila Foster. I’m your assistant, and you can instruct me on anything you need."
"Oh. They’ve all left, you can leave with them too."
The young girl shook her head like a rattle: "No, I won’t leave. My grandfather said I should stick by your side at all times."
Raina raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Who is your grandfather?"
Leila puffed out her chest, speaking proudly: "Simon Foster."
Her grandfather is indeed the head of The Veridian Institute of Medicine, but aside from Raina, she’s never mentioned it to others.
Raina smiled helplessly: "He’s quite the old fox."
Leila looked at Raina eagerly: "Raina, do you agree to let me stay with you?"
Raina couldn’t help but think to herself, they’ve already sent such a soft and cute girl to her, how hard-hearted would she have to be to refuse?
Leila’s eyes lit up immediately. Seeing the young girl’s undisguised joy, Raina felt her mood wasn’t that bad anymore.
