Ever since the International Medicine Competition was done and dusted, Sharon was already questioning herself if she was suited for medicine.
The best example to show the difference between a genius and an average person was the difference between Janet and herself.
Upon hearing that, Janet’s eyes merely narrowed, but she did not utter a word.
At this moment, the phone in her pocket vibrated before the ringtone quickly followed.
She took out her phone and had a look—it was Lee. I bet he is calling because he couldn’t come to a conclusion with Robert.
Janet let out a slight ‘tsk’ before she got up and walked outside lazily.
“I’m going out to take a phone call.”
After she went to the corridor, she finally answered the call.
“What’s up?” Janet arched her eyebrows with a teasing smile on her face. “You can’t pacify him?”
Lee was quite annoyed by Robert.
“Robert called me numerous times in misery, pleading for you to show up. I think you better talk to him yourself.”
He had taken many orders for Janet previously, but this was the first person who was insistent with his request.
When she heard the impatience in Lee’s voice, she laughed and replied in exasperation, “Fine, then. Agree to their request, but I have a condition.”
Upon hearing that, Lee was dumbfounded. She didn’t agree to this before, so why is she agreeing to it now?
However, he was more curious about her request. “Go ahead.”
“Tell him to include Sharon in the surgery. She’s a first year medical student in Woodsbury University.”
“Sharon Nathan? Your coursemate?”
Janet hummed in agreement.
“A-A-Alright,” Lee replied hastily.
This is my first time seeing Janet taking care of others so much.
Meanwhile, on the other side in Yobril, after Melissa signed the contract that was worth one billion, the various news companies were quick to change their stances. The articles that mocked her were immediately taken down and replaced by articles that praised her stellar performance.
The headlines of the news changed from ‘Melissa Rocher—the destroyer of the good reputation upheld by Rocher Family?’ to ‘Huge turn of events—Melissa Rocher signed a contract worth one billion that might pave a new way for the Rocher Family’.
Even the members of the medical team from the Fuller Corporation treated her much better after that.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. You really can’t underestimate Melissa at all. She earned the one-billion contract all on her own.”
“Yeah. I heard the competition is quite fierce for this contract. I can’t believe that Melissa was able to get it.”
“Say, if it were Janet from Sandfort City, do you think she’s able to take it?”
“Janet? I don’t think so. After all, she’s just a first year student. How would the employer be relieved to hand a one-billion contract to a young girl?”
“True, that makes sense.”
“Melissa is still quite capable after all!”
The conversations between the internal members of Fuller Corporation’s medical team continued to reach Melissa’s ears.
In an instant, she felt a sense of security, as if she rose to heaven from hell.
She took a deep breath and was about to open the door of the laboratory when a voice suddenly rang in the corridor.
“Miss Rocher.”
Melissa turned to see Sheldon walking toward her.
“What’s up, Mr. Fuller?”
He stopped walking and pursed his lips as he frowned. “I heard from my team that you don’t need any assistance?”
He felt rather incredulous to hear that she did not even need an assistant for the one-billion contract.
Upon hearing that, her eyes flickered as she nodded ambiguously. “Yes, I don’t need anyone for the time being. You know that this is my first time taking such a huge contract. Hence, I want to depend on my capabilities alone. Apart from that, the employer, Mr. Hills, also confirmed that all is good as long as I submit the product in a month. There’s nothing to be worried about.”
Worried that Sheldon would be suspicious, Melissa stated a bunch of excuses at one go.
“Is that so?” His eyes narrowed in doubt. “Fine. If you need anything, just let me know.”
“Alright.”
“By the way, what does Mr. Hills want in the end?”
As Sheldon did not comprehend much about medicine and Melissa attended with the President alone the last time, he did not understand what she was researching on.
