The Wrong Woman

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 some professors 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, some researchers 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.
