“Wyatt, I’ve come up with an innovative idea,” Mia announced. Weart didn’t take it seriously. “What is it?” he asked.
“Using nanorobots in surgeries for cell-related diseases!” Mia answered proudly, thinking this idea would definitely be unique. His eyes visibly brightened. “That’s actually a good idea. Nanotechnology is increasingly being used in the medical field, and it’s starting to be involved in Margedies. But there haven’t been any cases specifically targeting cell-related diseases, so this definitely counts as an innovation. Think it over and write up a full proposal, of course, no pressure. I’ll send the idea to the team group chat, and we can all work on the plan together!” Mia smiled, pleased. “Okay!”
However, a dark glimmer crossed her eyes as she left Wyatt’s office. How on earth did Luna come up with such a good, innovative idea, especially after just joining that lesser-known team? But it was a lesser-known team for a reason. As long as Mia tweaked Luna’s idea and added some popular elements, she could easily outshine her.
She smirked and thought, “Luna, I really have to thank you!” She could already imagine how satisfying it would be to stand on the award stage while Luna watched from the sidelines. But would Luna regret her choices and come crawling back to the seniors? No, Mia wasn’t going to give her that chance.
At first, Mia had thought about using the seniors to coax Luna back into the team, making her work for free. However, after seeing how Luna looked at the meeting, she had changed her mind. She hadn’t expected Luna to look so beautiful after her makeover. Men were visual creatures, and despite Wyatt’s indifferent attitude today, he wouldn’t let Luna slip away that easily. He would still try to find a way to get her back. Not to mention, Luna was already close with Russell and Kevin, and then there was that pervert Trevor and the opportunist Ethan.
Mia couldn’t afford to take any risk. She wouldn’t let Luna have a chance to rejoin the team. She had to ensure that Luna was completely ruined—inside and out. Once Luna lost her support and reputation, she would end up nothing more than a plaything for men, and then there would be no chance of her ever competing with Mia again.
Mia resumed her work, planning to log back into the website—just having a good innovation idea wasn’t enough; the development plan was just as important. Before she could click on the webpage, Trevor entered the office.
“Mia, can you do me a favor?”
Mia looked at Trevor. He was the most serious and professional person on the team. He was always meticulous with his academic work, and the experiments he oversaw were always flawless. In some ways, he had achieved more in his field than Wyatt, but he was humble and low-key, which was why he didn’t attract as much attention.
Mia was happy to help him. “Sure, what is it?”
“I need to buy a few sets of reference books, but I don’t have enough money,” Trevor said, testing Mia’s attitude. He would ask for more later.
Mia chuckled. “I thought it was something serious. Don’t worry about it. I’ll just buy the books for you.”
“No, no. Just lend me the money.” Trevor was overjoyed. Unlike Lama, who had left evidence when borrowing money, he hadn’t expected Mia to be so generous. Mia took out her phone. “I’ll transfer you 50 dollars. That probably won’t be enough, though. I heard Wyatt say that a full set of professional, genuine reference books costs thousands.”
“How many sets do you need? Tell you what, I’ll send you 2,000 dollars. If that’s not enough, you can ask me again!”
