CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1866

"You sent that girl away? I honestly thought you'd keep her around, maybe even adopt her," Yvette teased.

Karina choked on her water, launching into a series of startled coughs. "Adopt her? What nonsense are you talking about? She's an adult! How would that even work?"

The thought alone was absurd. Adopting a grown woman? Not only was it unfeasible, but considering their earlier dynamic as semi-rivals, it was outright bizarre. Just imagining it gave Karina goosebumps.

Yvette, unfazed, leaned lazily against Karina's desk, sipping from her water cup like she hadn't just said something ridiculous. "Anyway, I heard you've taken on a new research project?"

Karina shot her a skeptical glance. "How do you always hear about these things so quickly?"

Yvette smirked. "Please, who do you think I am? They call me the *Queen of Internal Medicine Gossip.* Now, spill!"

Karina sighed, a trace of resignation on her face. "Yes, I've been selected for a project, but nothing's been finalized yet. I heard they're organizing a visit to the main headquarters soon, but I haven't received any official updates. I still don't know when they'll finalize everything."
