Jalen was taken aback, “Can you understand it?”

Just as Keira was about to reply, the introverted male colleague jumped in. “Jalen, I think she’s telling the truth.”

Jalen glared at him, “Do you two know each other?”

I was still a student last year when she joined us to work on a research project led by Professor Miller….”

Keira studied his face, trying to recall. “Luca Barker?”

Luca blushed and nodded, explaining to Jalen, “She’s the only undergraduate student that Professor Miller recruited for the project. She’s a fast reader, and she has experience with these fundamental frameworks.”

But Jalen still looked at her disapprovingly. “It’s just the basics. There’s no need to be so proud just because you understand it! If you’re so capable, solve the core technology issues then!”

Luca immediately chimed in, “Boss, you are asking too much of her.”

Jalen sneered, “If you don’t have what it takes, just do as you’re told. Go to the resource library and look up the most basic things. You should be ashamed of yourself!”

With that, he left.

library and headed straight there.

The Horton Group’s resource library was located on the 60th floor. It was essentially a large private library, only accessible to employees of the group.

The books here covered knowledge from various
