Chapter 158: Cursed and Blessed
Ethan offered to drive to the Mediterranean restaurant Cammy had reserved for their lunch meeting. Thanks to Cammy’s foresight in pre-ordering their meals during the reservation, they didn’t have to wait long for the food to be served.
As Ethan sliced into his lamb sliders, he glanced at Eve and asked, "So, how are you finding Cross Tech and your team so far?"
Eve smiled, her eyes glimmering with excitement. "Cammy has been an incredible mentor. She’s teaching me everything I need to know, and honestly, we’re almost done with the transition. She even handed over some of her tasks to me before we left for lunch."
Ethan nodded in approval. "That’s great to hear. How much longer do you think the training will take?"
"Probably by tomorrow," Eve replied confidently. "I’m already familiar with most of the tools the team uses. Cammy’s just guiding me through the process and design she created for the site, as well as how far she’s progressed with the project."
Ethan couldn’t help but smile. "Looks like you’re fitting in perfectly."
"Yeah, you can say that. I just hope everything goes smoothly until I finish the project," Eve said with a soft smile, trying to keep her tone light.
"Why wouldn’t it? Everything will be fine," Ethan replied with a reassuring smile.
But Harry, who had been silently slicing the meat on his plate, suddenly spoke, with a cold and sharp tone. "Or... maybe Ms. Ferguson is already anticipating something bad to happen so she has an excuse to quit."
Eve’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she quickly masked her expression and let out a subtle, sarcastic chuckle. "And why would I quit, Mr. Parker? Unlike others who were born with a silver spoon, I’m just an ordinary employee bound by a contract.
You think I have the luxury to walk away? I can’t even afford to pay the bond if I break that contract. But even if I could, I wouldn’t. Because I’d rather endure the hardship and finish what I started—for my daughter, who needs me to fight for her future."
