My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

36 Astonishment

Luca was in a stun and stared at her in disbelief.

Keira casually said, “I said, it was sent to your inbox last Friday.”

Luca swallowed. “Wasn't that an empty email?”

Keira was bewildered.

Luca realized something and ran to his workstation. Looking at his email on the
computer, he indeed saw the attachment!

But he still couldn't believe it. He opened the attachment nervously!

The development of new energy is different from software coding.

Not only did they use computer simulators, but they also had to go into the lab for
real experiments.

Keira had finished the task assigned to her last Friday, so Luca spent all morning
in the lab assisting Jalen, and that's why he didn’t notice.

Once the attachment was downloaded, Luca couldn't

wait to look at it.

As he read through it, he immersed himself in the

report.

The application of core technology was a bit complex. Some of it took him quite a
while to understand.

Seeing his silence, Keira prepared to take the elevator to the 60th floor where the
archives were located.

The elevator arrived, and she entered it just as a group

of members did.

The R&D Department and the laboratory were located on different floors of the
tower, and they each had

their own tasks to do.

“Beep!”

The elevator alarm beeped, indicating that it was

overloaded.

Someone said, “Keira, you better get off.”

Their tone was tinged with displeasure.

Keira was taken aback and raised her head, “I wasn't the last one to get on.”
The person scoffed. “Even though that's the case, work

is first come first served. We're in a hurry, and you're so idle. If you're not busy,
why don’t you get off first?”

The others immediately echoed.

“Exactly. You don’t actually need to work; you're just going to read books!”
“Hurry up and go. Don't waste our time!”

“Our team leader is still waiting for us. Would you be responsible if we were
late?”

Keira frowned, detecting the hostility of the group.

Although she didn’t quite understand what was going on, she took a deep breath
and got off the elevator.

She didn’t need to argue about something like that.

As a researcher, she understood the exasperation when a problem couldn't be
resolved promptly. Besides, there were eight elevators in total. It was just a
matter of wasting a bit more time.

Once the elevator doors closed, someone in the group suddenly whispered.
“Were we a bit too harsh just now?”

“She’s just so tactless... She doesn’t do any work at all,

and yet when we achieve results, she reaps the

benefits too. That's not fair!”

Keira entered the 60th floor through another elevator and hastily looked for a
book she put away.

As long as she studied hard, she was sure she could solve old Mrs. Horton's
problem soon.

But then, she discovered her book was gone!

Keira was dumbfounded.

She hurriedly looked around the bookshelf, but no matter how much she tried,
she couldn't find the book

Nobody nearby seemed to be reading it...

The books in the Horton Group's library clearly

couldn't be taken out!

Where did the book go?

Suddenly, she realized something...

There was only one person in the company who could get a book out of here!
On the top floor.

Lewis was engrossed with his own eyebrows drawn

together as he flipped through the thick volume in his hands.

The book was about neuroscience.

Briefly familiar with the subject due to his

grandmother’s health, he still found the book complex and difficult to understand.
He was also curious to know why Keira was reading it.

Tom provided Lewis with a detailed report of Keira's actions downstairs. He then
added, “Boss, Keira is simply taking advantage of Mrs. Horton's fondness for her
and acting as she pleases! You even arranged for her to be in a department that
matched her major, to give her a chance to learn and yet she shows no
gratitude!”

Lewis coldly replied, “She's not really here to work.”

Tom was perplexed.

He couldn't help but feel that the boss seemed to be speaking up for her.

It must be his illusion!

He then asked, “This book doesn’t seem to have much

relevance. Should we return it?”

Lewis tapped on the book, thinking about the girl's anticipation when she saw it
today. He suddenly remembered the feeling of her in his arms earlier...

All of a sudden, he felt dry-mouthed, “No need for

now.”

Keira had wanted to go upstairs to get the book from Lewis, but when she
remembered their hug earlier, she suddenly became shy.

In the end, she strolled back to the R&D department.

Just leaving the elevator, she spotted Jalen and team members drinking coffee in
the lounge, tr stay awake.

They all had weary expressions on their faces.

Seeing Keira’s laid-back demeanor, someone couldn help but speak up:

e

“Keira, this is a company, not a shopping mall for you to loiter around!”
“Exactly, we're all so busy right now. Don't you feel

ashamed not offering to help?”

“Do you even understand? Being involved in our projects can help you gain work
experience!”

“We are all on the same team. If the project is successful, the bonus is equally
divided. We never looked down on you for being an intern, but you can’t be this
unreasonable, right? You just want to earn money without doing anything?”
“Although you're a special case here, we have never minded your lack of ability.
We thought we could guide you, but your indifference to work is outrageous!”
Keira paused, asking seriously, “So, what can I help

with?”

“You don't understand the technical stuff, so you at least help us with odd jobs.
Print some stuff, ru errands, or get some coffee!”

Upon hearing this, Keira frowned. “I'm sorry, that's n part of my job.”

Having started working since junior high, she understood workplace rules.

Having said this, Keira was about to enter the office.

The team members, however, were incensed by her

remarks.

“What kind of person is she? She has no real skills, yet she’s here putting on airs
like a princess. How

arrogant!”

“We can't understand why the company would hire

someone like her!”

Watching Keira’s nonchalant demeanor and hearing these complaints, Jalen
frowned even more.

He wanted to help Keira, but she looked irredeemable!

To think he had even stood up against Jake for her, he felt like such a fool!

leave! We don’t need freeloaders on our team!”

Inside the office, Luca was now filled with excitement

and fanatic fervor. He was still engrossed with the

email.

He finally understood it!

Luca shot up from his seat, ran to the door, and excitedly grabbed Jalen’s arm!!
