Cecilia Young noticed right away and came over, using simple hand signs as she asked, “Rachel, are you okay? Did that new hire really take the project?”

Rachel grabbed Cecilia’s wrist. “Come with me.”

The two of them went to the breakroom.

Rachel’s face was serious as she said, “I need your help with something, important.”

“Of course, just tell me what you need,”

“I heard that LS Enterprise wanted to take the Oasis Project too. Since it hasn’t started yet, if we come up with a better plan, we can take control of the project. That way, it won’t be up to this company to decide how it moves forward.”

Cecilia’s face went pale. She quickly started to gesture in panic as she exclaimed, “Are you crazy? If you get involved and someone finds out, it’s like leaking company secrets. Your career would be over!”

She paused, looking at Rachel like she was crazy, then added, “Also, I’ve heard rumors about the owner of LS Enterprise. His background is complicated, and there isn’t much information available online about him. If you go near him, it’s like walking straight into a trap. What if he uses it against you?”

Rachel knew Cecilia was scared for her. But at this point, there was no turning back.

“This is my mom’s dying wish. I have to finish it,” Rachel said firmly.

She didn’t have much time left.

Cecilia had known Rachel since college, so she knew that once Rachel made up her mind, nothing could change it.

After thinking for a moment, she sighed. “Alright, I’m in. But be careful. If word gets out that the wife of Lewis Enterprise’s CEO is helping their rival company, it’s going to stir up a storm.”
