When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 140

Seeing it, Evelina feigned shock, "Maybe we should go back and change it."

"No changes needed. According to the agreement, she should be fired. And there's no need for additional help since I've already finished the coding."

The guy, reeking of arrogance, pulled out a thumb drive, looking down on Lemira, "Move aside, if you can't hack it, don't talk big."

After he sat down, he immediately started working. And he passed the test with flying colors.

Looking smug, he taunted Lemira, "How about that? This is what real skill looks like!"

Lemira snorted, "Stealing my code and then bragging about it as if it's your own skill! Indeed, your talent for thievery and boasting is impressive."

"What are you blabbering about?" Ethan became red-faced, a mix of anger and a touch of guilt, especially as he glanced at Evelina.

Evelina calmly spoke, "The team lead has skills too. You can't just accuse him of stealing just because your own code is not up to par."

The manager, growing impatient with Lemira, said, "You're fired."

"I'd like to see who dares to fire her."

Lucian walked in, Hogan following behind him.

Seeing Lucian, Evelina instantly turned exasperated, wondering why he had to show up right then.

The manager hastily spoke with reverence, "Mr. Langston, I had a reason for firing her. Her code was all wrong, and her attitude was appalling, not to mention she wasn't cooperating with the company's directives. We can't keep an employee like that."

Lucian's expression was icy, "She was never here to be an employee. She's going to be your boss, your superior. What company directives does she need to follow?"

As the words came out, the room went silent in shock.

Evelina's face fell. What did that mean? Was Lucian planning to hand over the branch to Lemira?

The sleazy guy couldn't help but speak up, "And why would she deserve that?"
