?Chapter 124:


    Instead, her gaze swept over the department—until itnded on a quiet figure in the corner.


    Flora Brooks. Soft-spoken. Under the radar. Barely noticed during team meetings. But Ste had done her homework. Flora had won multiple coding awards in university. Her analytical reports were sharp, her instincts solid.


    She just needed someone to notice her. Someone to give her a shot. So Ste decided to give her this opportunity.


    “Since Ms. Myers isn’t sure,” Ste said, her voice even, “maybe it’s time someone else stepped up. We can’t expect one person to carry the entire tech department.”


    Docie narrowed her eyes. Was she dodging the problem? Maybe she wasn’t so skilled. Otherwise, why would she find someone else to fix the bug?


    The rest of the team exchanged uncertain looks. Who else could possibly take it on?


    They were lost on how to approach it.


    Then Ste turned, walking toward Flora’s desk. She stopped in front of her, her tone warm but direct. “Flora, would you be willing to take this on?”


    Flora blinked in surprise, stunned that Ste had called on her—her of all people.


    She’d never been the center of attention in the tech department. Most days, she felt invisible.


    “Ms. Gilbert, I… I don’t think I can handle it,” she said nervously.


    “Maybe someone else would be better for this.”


    Even though Flora spent her nights studying thepany’s tech, doubt still clung to her. She wasn’t sure she had what it took to seed.


    Ste just shook her head and kept going. “I’ve reviewed your file. Your skill set is impressive, Flora. I trust you can do it. Forget about failing—what matters is you try. This kind of opportunity doesn’te around often. Don’t you want to seize it?”

    Flora felt something shift inside her as those words sank in.


    She definitely didn’t want to stay a small-time employee forever. All thete nights, all the effort—she was working toward something bigger. To be seen, to be valued… Maybe this was her moment to grab. Opportunities like this didn’te around twice.


    She inhaled deeply, straightening her shoulders. “Yes, Ms. Gilbert. I’ll give it a try.”


    Ste’s smile softened with warmth the moment she heard Flora agree to take on the task. “Great. If you need help, just ask. Take your time with it.”


    Flora approached the desk, sat at the terminal, and ced her fingers on the keyboard. Her expression hardened with focus.


    Watching from a few steps away, Docie raised an eyebrow in disbelief. Really? Her? She almostughed. Flora barely spoke up in meetings. She was like office furniture—always there, but easily forgotten. What skills could she possibly have?
