CHAPTER 179: CHAPTER 180: THE PRESIDENT IS ANGRY (PART 1)

"Me?!" Merlin Bradley turned pale, "Vera, you’re... really going to compete with her?!"

Vera Wave shrugged, looking indifferent, "At worst, I’ll lose. Anyway, she doesn’t like me. If I’m going to die, I’d rather die on the battlefield than retreat before even stepping on it."

She’s already been through the darkest times in her life; this really isn’t a big deal.

Merlin Bradley looked at her with some difficulty, "But I... I’ve just passed the probation period, and I have no experience."

Vera Wave looked into her eyes seriously, "If you don’t participate, you’ll never have experience. What if we win? Then you’d have the chance to join this project. Do you really not want that?"

How could she not want it?

Every day without any major accomplishments, just assisting other colleagues, earning less money than others in the same position, and enduring disdain and sneers—no one wants a life like this.

Seeing Merlin Bradley was a bit tempted, Vera immediately launched her sweet persuasion.

"Merlin, I beg you, if you don’t join, I won’t even qualify for the competition. Please just help me out, and I’ll treat you to lunch. Merlin, beautiful Merlin!"

Unable to resist her soft yet persistent pleading, Merlin Bradley had no choice but to agree.

Vera turned around, clasping the proposal in her hands, noticing the couple’s contract on the table, and quickly placed the proposal over it.

Remembering Kris Cooper, she frowned again. That guy seemed really upset, and she wondered if he’d returned yet.

Picking up her phone, she was about to call Kris Cooper when she heard the sound of high heels; Kylo Sail had already walked out of her office.

"To those elite who just received my text, come to my office, let’s prepare together."

Immediately, five or six people around stood up noisily.

"Kylo, it’s an honor to collaborate with you again!"

"Yes, indeed!"

...

"Kylo, can you... take me with you too?"

A dark and thin male colleague stood up, speaking ingratiatingly.

Kylo Sail didn’t even glance at him, "No, how could I prevent you from taking care of your son!"

This person, Vera also knew, his last name was Ruben Campbell, thirty-eight years old this year, and quite capable at work. But since his wife passed away last year, he became a single dad.

Originally, he worked with Kylo Sail, but because his son was home alone and too young to cook, he brought his son to the work site. Due to this, he had a conflict with Kylo and has been sidelined ever since.

Ruben Campbell pressed his lips together and sat back down.

With a haughty glance at Vera, Kylo, lifting her head like a proud peacock, walked into her office.

Seeing Ruben Campbell looking dejected, Vera stood up and walked to his side.

"Brother Ruben, would you... like to join my team?"

Ruben Campbell turned his face in shock, gazing at Vera as she approached, and she smiled back at him.

"I know you have a lot of experience in this area and many connections. Could you... give me a hand?"

This gesture gave Ruben Campbell plenty of face.

Locking eyes with her, Ruben Campbell hurriedly stood up from his chair.

"Vera, thank you, I..."

"You don’t want to?!"

"No, I..."

"Then you do agree!" Vera grinned, extending her hand to him, "Pleasure working with you."
