Leon’s pare finally landed on Victoria, I stayed for only abrier moment before shifting away.
In that instant, every trace of hire good mood for the day vanished. No matter how much she had anticipated things beforehand, she had never expected this outcome.
“This is Mr. Quigley of Quigley Corporation. For the next two months, he’ll serve as the acting CTO of Nexus Interactive,” Timothy introduced him to the team.
“He’ll have full authority over the new project. Moving forward, you’ll report directly to him instead of going through me.”
“Understood,” the employees responded in unison.
Timothy then began introducing each person to Leon
From the moment she entered, Victoria had been staring at him. The thought of resigning flashed through her mind repeatedly.
Nexus Interactive was a publicly listed company, but Quigley Corporation had hundreds of subsidiaries just like this one. He barely had time to manage the business he already controlled There was no way he had come here without anterior motive
“And this is our newly hired concept artist and marketing designer, Victoria. She has extensive creative experience and highly refined artistic skills,” Timothy continued. Leon cast a fleeting glance at her before withdrawing his gaze, his expression indifferent. He gave a noncommittal sound in response.
Since Timothy had learned about Leon’s identity from his boss, Steven Sinclair, he was naturally eager to make a good impression.
“Is there anything else you’d like to ask?” he inquired
“Not for now. I’m only here to check the project’s progress, Leon replied in an unhurried tone.
Seeing no further questions, Timothy quickly concluded the introductions and let everyone return to their work
Victoria had originally planned to confront Leon, but there were too many people around. If she stayed behind, she would inevitably become the center of office gossip.
As soon as everyone returned to their workstations, the employees wasted no time in whispering among themselves.
“Wow, our new00 is ridiculously handsome. His mature, refined temperament is really something else.”
“Wait until you miss a deadline. Let’s see if you still find him charming when he’s breathing down your neck.”

“Victoria “someone called her name.
Snapping out of her thoughts about resigning, Victoria quickly adjusted her expression and turned toward the voice, “Yes?””
“How’s your progress with the project materials?” The person approaching her was dressed in a sleek, professional outfit. Her slightly cool gaze tested on Victoria.
*1 still have a bit left to go,” Victoria answered.
um, so let’s deal with issues promptly,” the woman said bluntly. Her shoulder–length bob made her look sharp
“If you have any questions, come to me. You’re assigned to my team, and efficient
Victoria nodded. “Understood.”
She recognized her to be Jane White, the team leader.
The rest of the attemoon passed in a blur, ber mind completely distracted
She considered going straight to Timothy to sign, but with no way to pay the breach penalty, it was not an option. After much deliberation, she still went to see him. She had signed the contract that morning, but the company might not have finalized it yet. As long as the official company seal had not been stamped, there was still a chance.
At that moment, sher
e completely overlooked the fact that if this was truly Leon’s doing, he would never give her away out
The hesitated for a moment before knocking on the manager’s office door.
Timothy looked up and immediately set aside what he was doing “What can I do for you?”
Victoria perusted at the doorway. “Can I come in to talk
