Phoebe suddenly realized her mistake. She quickly apologized, “I'm sorry, Mila. I'll pay more attention next time."

Because Milas belly wasn't very obvious, and it was hidden under a thick coat, so it was easy for Phoebe to forget that she was pregnant. Mila murmured, "When dealing with such matters, harmony and peace are paramount.”

Phoebe replied, "Okay."

The employment procedures went smoothly.

Phoebe didn't work for the military base. She solely served Mila as her personal assistant. Her salary was paid by Mila personally.

In the research department, Mila met sprofessors she had known before, such as Joe and Alan, who were older senior researchers. They had witnessed Mila's brilliance before and were ecstatic to see her joining their team.

However, sresearchers who had returned from overseas had a disdainful attitude toward her. Especially when they knew it was a young woman, with delicate features and a seemingly fragile appearance.

Also, it was rumored that she entered through connections, so they looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts.

Just as everyone was chatting and getting acquainted with Mila, Jacob, the new team leader of Team B, couldn't stand it anymore.

He called Mila into his office and handed her a stack of documents. "Wanda Hoffis, right?" Jacob lightly said, "From now on, you'll be in charge of Project 016. You'll be in charge of analyzing the nuclear fuel.”

Mila took the documents and browsed through them.

She furrowed her brows as she knew she needed to handle Radium material which had radioactive elements.

Although the research values were small, it was too dangerous for her as a pregnant woman even if she wore radiation protection suits.

She might be able to endure it, but her baby couldn't.

Mila politely declined, "I'm sorry, team leader. I can't handle this project. Could you assignsome other project instead of this?"

Jacob hadn't expected the new employee to be so assertive. On her first day of work, she was already talking back at him.

Jacob asked angrily, "The project can't be changed. How about you switch teams? Do you think another team will accept a rookie like you?" Mila casually said, "Any team will do.”

Jacob sneered, "You're really ignorant. Do you really think you can just waltz into another team whenever you feel like it?"

Mila took a deep breath and then suppressed her anger. She forced a smile as she said, "Team leader, what exactly do you want then?" Jacob pointed at the documents on the desk. He angrily scolded, "You have no choice but to obey your superior. Either handle this project or resign and go home!"

Mila was starting to panic. She looked at Jacob's angry face and knew he was not someone to mess with. He was also biased against her. Working under him would likely be tough and full of obstacles.

Mila just wanted to get through her work and the late stage of her pregnancy without any troubles.

“I'm sorry, team leader. I choose to transfer to another team.” Mila nodded politely before leaving the team leader's office.

As she returned to the research room, Joe asked curiously, "Chubs, what did the team leader want with you?"

Mila frowned. She complained in a low voice, “The team leader seems to have a bias against me."

Joe said quietly, "He's a high school classmate of Ms. Hudson. He seems to like her a lot, and she likes Mr. Morrison. So you should know the reason why he is targeting you."

Mila suddenly shuddered.

Fenna's high school classmate? Or Fenna's admirer?

Oh god, he was a ticking tbomb!

At that moment, Mila decided to transfer to another team.

In the evening, there were snowflakes fluttering outside the window, covering everything in white.

In the office, Nathan was reviewing blueprints of a new supersonic aircraft.

There was a knock on the door.

After three knocks, the door still remained closed.

Nathan slowly raised his head. Usually, Cole and Fenna would enter the room after they knocked three times.

At that moment, there was another knock on the door.

Nathan continued to look down at the documents. He softly replied, "Cin."

The door opened as the soft footsteps approached.

Nathan raised his head and he immediately froze.

Mila was holding a small basket woven from willow branches. The basket was filled with fresh strawberries.

She had a sweet and charming smile. "Mr. Morrison," Mila greeted politely.

Nathan snapped out of his daze as he returned to his senses. He asked softly, "Do you need something from me?"

Mila placed the basket of strawberries on his desk. She tried to please him in a gentle tone, "I saw a strawberry tree near the dormitory building. The strawberries are ripe, so I picked sfor you to taste.”
