35 Solution
Seriously?
Even Jalen, a Ph.D. who returned to the country after studying abroad, couldn’t
solve such a core issue immediately!
Keira was only an undergraduate. Even if Professor Miller praised her talent,
could she solve it no matter how well she defied expectations?
Luca thought those things as he clicked the mouse. He opened that email, and
then, he blinked!
“Bang!”
Jalen slammed the documents he held onto the table
and raised his chin slightly. “Meeting time!”
Luca didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he was staring at that email.
“Luca! Is your butt glued to the chair?!”
Jalen was in a bad mood, and seeing Luca moving slowly, he shouted angrily.
Luca glanced at the content of the email, saw that it

was a blank file, and immediately stood up. “Coming.
I’m coming…”
Keira failed to solve the problem, and she had probably sent this email by
mistake.
When he left his computer, the attachment that had
just finished buffering in the email was lying quietly in
the interface…
In the office.
Jalen frowned and briefly explained the situation at the just concluded meeting.
He didn’t mention Keira and just said, “In two days, if this core issue cannot be
solved, I’ll resign.”
The moment these words came out, the office became quiet.
Jalen did have a temper and often scolded them, but he was a qualified team
leader, and they all respected him.
After a while of silence, everyone started talking.
“Jalen, just tell us what to do”
“Yes, for the next two days, we won’t sleep. Let’s do our best!”

Jalen delegated work, increasing each employee’s workload several times, yet
nobody complained.
It was only after the meeting that Jalen felt like he had forgotten something…
He suddenly turned to Luca. “Where’s Keira?”
How come she wasn’t at work yet?
Luca shook his head, but another person said, “She
came in in the morning, clocked in, and then went to the library.”
The complexion on Jalen’s face instantly turned gloomy!
He was struggling against Jake for her, but that wom had gone out again?!
Someone couldn’t help saying, “Jalen, she’s too ungrateful. If she worked with us
on this project, she would gain so much work experience!”
Luca didn’t agree with Keira’s approach but still spoke for her. “She just
graduated from college. She doesn’t understand these things… Besides, our
stuff is too complicated for her. She probably won’t understand…”
“We’re a team. Even if she doesn’t understand she

should still stay and help at this key moment, right? Is she taking a salary and not
working? Who does that!”
“That’s right. What’s wrong with this girl? Is our team beginning to keep loafers?”
Jalen took a deep breath, feeling that Keira was ungrateful!
On the roof.
Tom had been keeping an eye on the situation below and knew more about it
than Group One. He was complaining to Lewis.
“Jalen is working frantically for her while she is leisurely reading in the library all
morning… She is a
real femme fatale!”
Lewis frowned, his cool scrutinizing eyes glancing at Tom. “Reading all morning?”
“Yes, she clocked in and went there. She hasn’t even had lunch yet!”
“What book?”
“I didn’t pay attention to that. I assume it’s a paper on

new energy?”
“…You assume?”
The clear displeasure in Lewis’s voice gave Tom a chill, but he suddenly realized
something. “She’s been targeting the library since she started working, so her
purpose in joining Horton Group is to search for information?”
What book she was reading became hugely important!
Tom bowed his head, “I’ll find out now!”
But Lewis had already stood up. He was buttoning his blazer as he walked
briskly out, only leaving a word
behind. “Don’t bother.”
He quickly arrived at the library and found her among the books in the neurology
category.
She was looking up, her eyes swiftly sweeping across a row of books, then
coming to rest at the highest level
of the shelf.
She then saw something. She dragged over a ladder, climbed up, and reached
for the book.
She was wearing a loose hooded sweatshirt today, along with skinny jeans.

Her movement raised the lower hem of her sweatshirt, revealing her leg.
From Lewis’s perspective, her legs were slender and straight, and her jeans
wrapped around the pretty curves of her derriere, above which was her fair
waist!
Lewis paused and slowly looked away. Her fair waist seemed to be imprinted on
his brain and sparked a thought in his mind. “Her waist is so thin that I can wrap
my hand around it.”
Keira didn’t notice him. After getting the book, she casually flipped through it, and
her eyes suddenly lit

The book she wanted to find was this one!
Overjoyed, she momentarily forgot she was still on the ladder and stepped
forward as if she wanted to go to the seat next to her, but her foot missed the
step, and
she lost her balance!
Now she was in trouble.
Just as Keira thought of this, she fell into the warm and strong arms of
someone…
It was only then she realized that Lewis caught her.

The two were very close, and she could smell his
vanilla fragrance. His large hand was holding her butt, and the burning heat from
his palm went through her
thin jeans…
Keira’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she felt so embarrassed!
But she understood that he didn’t mean to do that. It was just a coincidence.
Keira hastily jumped down, calming herself down. “Mr. Horton, thank you.”
She blushed a little.
Lewis paused, subconsciously looking at his empty
hand.

He lowered his gaze, his eyelashes slightly trembling. He controlled himself and
said, “You’re welcome.”
There was a moment of awkward silence.

By the time she reached the elevator, her face was still burning a little.
Keira casually grabbed something to eat and returned to Group On in the
research department.
As soon as she entered, she noticed something was wrong right away.
The colleagues who were originally quite friendly toward her now seemed like
they didn’t see her…
Kira didn’t understand and just thought everyone was not familiar with her.
In the afternoon, she went to the library again.
But she was stopped by Luca, who said in a low voice, “Don’t go in the
afternoon…”

Kira was puzzled: “Didn’t they say that as long as my own work is done, I can
go?”
Luca immediately looked around and indeed saw the odd looks from his
colleagues.
