“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 the salary. Most people would’ve just jumped at the promotion”
“I want to buy a place. I don’t have one yet.” Abigail didn’t think there was any reason to hide it.
Leon’s gaze grew more complicated. “Ambitious, Being a team leader is a lot of work, but yeah, the raise is decent–more than derent?”
Abigail nodded. “Thanks.”
Leon chuckled, “If you really mean that, then tell me who wrote the program yesterday.”
He still didn’t believe Abigail had written it herself. He thought, “She’s way too young to be that good!
“ll tell you when I got back,” Abigail said before heading to the office. She walked in and got straight to the point. Tl take the team leader job.”
Timothy wasn’t surprised. He smiled and replied, “I’ll stop by later to assign your team.”
Abigail nodded and returned to the Development Lab, She could feel eyes on her the moment she walked in.
Leon was chewing someone out nearby, practically growling, “You better stop eavesdropping before I lose my patience and teach you a lesson.”
The guy quickly nodded, scared still
Leon let go of him just as he spotted Abigail. His face relaxed. “You’re back.”
Abigail sat back down in her seat. “Why are you so curious about who wrote the program?”
She didn’t come out and say it was her. After all, Leon had made it pretty clear he didn’t believe it was.
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
dassumed 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?”
Abigail didn’t respond. Leon thought for a moment and gured, ‘That genius might be Abigail’s secret weapon. I came right out asking to meet them–no wonder she’s being so guarded.”
“Alright, I believe you,” Leon said, choosing to let the matter drop
Abigail had no intention of explaining either. And just like that, a misunderstanding took root.
Soon after, Timothy came over and officially announced Abigail as the new team leader. The Development Lab instantly used with discontent.
Everyone in this department had real skills. Naturally, they weren’t thrilled about taking orders from someone else–especially a young girl like her.
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?”
Another voice chimed in, “Exactly. Mr. Neyman, I don’t agree with this. You’re being way too rash.”

The complaints came one after another. Leon glanced at Abigail, worried she’d be upset only to realize his concern was complate turned out that Abigail was eating tracks.
Abigail didn’t hold back, She handed him a bag without hesitation. The two of them crouched there, quietly sharing snacks like a pair of sneaky lids, completely ignoring the protests around them,
Abigail ended up eating three bags in a row. She couldn’t stop
Before the Gibson family found her, Abigail could never afford snacks like these. Even after they brought her back, the Gibsons–were too busy catering lo Daniella to care about Abigail
Leon instantly tried to hide the snacks, but it was too late. He looked a bit embarrassed as he glanced at Timothy. Wanna try some?”
