Chapter 269

"Victoria, starting today, you're officially part of our IT department. That means you can't play for the other team anymore," George announced, a wry smile on his

face.

"All we're doing here is working hard to provide for our families, trying to make a bit more so life gets a little easier. I hope you'll be able to stick with us through thick and thin. Let's not let all our hard work go to waste again."

Victoria couldn't help but be amused by George's speech. Was he welcoming her or warning her? His words sounded like a dressing down, but every sentence seemed to highlight her achievements.

After all, in the last game development project, Victoria had almost single- handedly secured the team a hefty bonus-enough to double everyone's salary

for two years.

When word came that Victoria was joining the IT department, no one was more excited than George. He'd barely slept the night before as he tried to come up with the perfect way to welcome her.

"I understand. I won't let everyone down again," Victoria replied. All she'd wanted was to reclaim the intellectual property that belonged to her, but she'd ended up dragging the whole department into the mess. She felt genuinely apologetic about that.

"Now, let's give a warm welcome to Ms. Turner, the newest member of our IT department!"
