The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 255

Outside the lab, Elara, with her unruly hair that hadn’t seen a comb in days, squatted on the ground, her short locks a tangled mess from constant scratching.

Not far behind her stood the head of the lab.

*Elara, we admit the lab’s at fault here. We’ll straighten things out with the staff. You can’t just think about resigning every time something goes wrong!”

Elara’s talent in research was well–recognized in the field. Her rise to her current position at such a young age was certainly helped along by the Schnabel family’s support, but it was also due to her own hard work and intelligence.

Even among prodigies, Elara stood out!

“I won’t approve your resignation! Both personally and for the sake of our country, we need you to stay and shine in your role!” His words were eamest and sincere.

Elara dusted off her hands and stood up, pointing at a formula on the ground. “Boss, I recalculated that data from before, and it’s

correct.”

The head of the lab was taken aback! He thought Elara was just doodling in the dirt out of frustration, cursing those responsible. But she was actually recalculating data?

“Boss, I came here because the lab’s research aligns with my expertise, not to get caught up in petty squabbles.”

She glanced indifferently at her sweating boss.

*I’m not resigning on a whim. It’s just that my sister told me there’s no need to put up with nonsense. People were insulting me to my face. Was I not supposed to respond? They’re idiots, and I’m supposed to just take it? Why?”

The boss was at a loss for words. Indeed, he had asked Elara to be more tolerant towards the new interns, but wasn’t that just how things work? With Elara’s family background, she shouldn’t have to bother with those fresh graduates!

Elara kicked her suitcase beside her. “Sorry, but they’re older than me! It’s their first time being human, and I’m not here to play daddy. If the lab can’t handle this, then maybe you’re not up to the job.”

To openly tell the boss he’s incompetent, Elara was the first.
