Harriet looked up at Kelsey, who smiled again and exined,

    “Rushtar Group now has quite a few tech cooperation projects

    and wants to develop its own tech brand. So I’d like to offer iyou /i

    double the sry of Gxy Innovations to join Rushtar Group,

    and I hope…”

    Before Kelsey could finish, Harriet interrupted her: “No need, I’m

    doing well at Gxy Innovations, and I have a contract with

    them. With that sry, you should be able to find someone

    more suitable.”

    She had already left the Townsend Group, so there was no way

    she would go to Rushtar Group.

    Harriet didn’t even think about it and directly refused Kelsey.

    Seeing this, Kelsey smiled and said, “Hara, you don’t have to

    answer right away. Think about it. We’ve known each other for

    years, and I just want to offer you better benefits and more

    opportunities.”

    Harriet replied firmly, “No need, I’m already doing very well

    now.”

    Seeing Harriet’s determination, Kelsey looked at her and

    dropped the subject.

    After chatting about other things for a while, Kelsey went to the

    next building to apany her grandmother.

    After seeing Kelsey off, Harriet immediately felt the world had

    be much quieter.

    She closed the door, carefully sat back on the bed, picked up

    her professional book, and continued reading.

    The next day, after getting her anti–inmmatory injection at the

    hospital, she was discharged.

    She left the hospital on crutches.

    Kathie came to pick her up and apanied her home.

    Ellsworth, meanwhile, was away on a business trip.

    After resting at home for a day, Harriet went back to work.

    Sometimes Kathie drove her, sometimes she took a ride–hailing

    car herself, then went up and down the stairs on crutches.

    Although her mobility was limited, she could still manage her daily life.

    After returning to work, she needed to submit the first phase product tracking report. Harriet had her mother–inw and another tracking user fill out the forms, collected their feedback and signatures, and only Vicente was left to contact.

    At her desk, after dialing Vicente’s number, Harriet politely said, “Mr. Leach, this is Harriet from Gxy Innovations. I need to submit the first phase product tracking report. When would it be convenient for you for me toe by for your signature and

    to record some feedback?”

    Even though she had met Vicente several times, Harriet still

    remained very polite.

    On the other end of the line, Vicente replied warmly, “Ms.

    Chavez, I have time now. Since it’s inconvenient for you with

    your injury, I’ll have my driver pick you up.”

    Harriet said, “That’s not necessary, I…”

    Before Harriet could finish, Vicente interrupted her with a smile:

    “Ms. Chavez, no need to be polite. The driver will contact you

    when he arrives. See you soon.”

    Harriet replied, “Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony with

    you, Mr. Leach. Thank you, Mr. Leach.”

    Chapter206

    With Vicente arranging for someone to pick her up, Harriet

    waited at thepany.

    Soon after, she received a call from Vicente’s driver, and Harriet

    went downstairs on her crutches.

    When she got downstairs, the driver quickly came over to help

    her and opened the car door for her.

    Half an hourter, the car arrived at the municipal office

    building. Harriet got out and, led by the driver, headed to

    Vicente’s office.

    When the office door was knocked open, Vicente quickly stood

    up from his desk to greet her with a smile: “Ms. Chavez, I’m

    really sorry to make youe all this way when your leg is

    injured.”

    As he spoke, Vicente went over to support Harriet.

    Entering on her crutch, Harriet said, “It’s alright, the crutch

    makes it quite convenient.”

    After Harriet entered the office, the driver quietly closed the

    door and left.

    After Harriet sat down on the sofa, Vicente poured her a cup of

    Chapter206

    tea and then sat on another sofa.

    Each sitting on a sofa, Harriet took out the survey form and a

    pen from her bag and said to Vicente, “Mr. Leach, I need you to

    fill out and sign this survey form. Any other feedback, I’ll record

    separately.”

    Taking the survey form from Harriet, Vicente read it carefully,

    then bent over the coffee table to fill it out.

    Normally, Vicente was polite, but no one else who came to him

    for business ever received such treatment–having him bend

    over the coffee table to fill out a form.

    Afterpleting Harriet’s tracking form, Vicente also gave

    several suggestions for the product and user needs.

    Vicente spoke earnestly, and Harriet took notes just as

    seriously.

    As they were discussing the product robot, the office door was

    suddenly knocked.

    Harriet looked up and saw a young man in a proper white shirt and ck suit pants standing at the door, asking Vicente, “Mr. Leach, do you need me to get your lunch today?”
