“You’re still hesitating?” Leon looked at her, speechless for a moment. “Why wouldn’t you just say yes?”

Abigail gave him a straightforward explanation.

Leon stared at her, his expression unreadable. “You’re that short on cash?”

He thought, ‘Otherwise, she wouldn’t be asking about

Leon’s gaze grew more complicated. “Ambitious. Being a team leader is a lot of work, but yeah, the raise is decent–more than decent.”

Abigail nodded. “Thanks.”

Leon chuckled, “If you really mean that, then tell me who wrote the

He still didn’t believe Abigail had written it herself. He thought, ‘She’s

“I’ll tell you when I get back,” Abigail said before heading to the office. She walked in and got straight to the point. “I’ll take the team leader job.”

Leon gave her a weird look. “With that kind of skill? Who wouldn’t want to meet the genius behind it?”

“Just meet them?” Abigail had assumed he wanted her to help. “Well, now you’ve met her.”

Leon froze for a second, then looked at her, speechless “Wait, are you trying to say you’re the one who wrote it?”

Someone muttered, “She’s only on her second day. Sure, she solved a problem for the department, but that doesn’t mean she’s qualified to lead a team. She’s way too young. Does she even know how to manage people?”
