Yvette glanced over in Shakira, a fine, envigente on her fee

She was pretty sure Shakira was packing after seeing her easily handle the Ortis family, something the whole department found challenging

Meanwhile, Xanthe, Rachel, and Larry watched with worried eye. If they weren't so far away. Xanthe might've rushed over to stop Shakira from falling into any traps set by whemers.

David shot a mocking look, at Shakira shrugged and replied with a layered smile, "Mr. Harris, maybe focus more on your

own team?"

David's face turned even darker.

Then George said. "Yeah, David, your team's task isn't easy either Better mind your own! Who knows, maybe Shakira will nail Virmo, and your team might not..." He left the sentence hanging, dripping with challenge. "Fine! Let's see if your toe's got skills or if mine's better!" David retorted, gritting his teeth.

The early meeting ended with a face-off between the two teams. As everyone dispersed, George approached Shakira, looking serious.

Though Shakira knew George defended her because of team loyalty, she still appreciated it. She hesitated about saying something formal to put him at ease.

But then he suddenly relaxed, looking ready to cry. He had been so tough earlier, now he seemed all timid. "Shakira, you've got to go all out for us! We can't let that jerk David look down on us." Shakira chuckled, "Alright, I'll work hard to nail the task."

George sighed, "Actually, it's okay if you can't complete it. You're the only intern on the team. I don't want to push you too hard. If we can find a suitable partner outside, that's fine too..." Shakira's eyes flashed. "Got it."

After some encouraging words from the other teammates, Xanthe, Rachel, and Larry finally came over. Xanthe said, "Shakira! You're even more impulsive than me now."

Xanthe was pacing anxiously. "Yvette only got here through connections. Even though we're annoyed, we shouldn't make it hard on ourselves."

Rachel, who was so worried she instinctively started using sign language, quickly switched to her reading pen. "Shakira, maybe we should talk to Mr. Gordon and ask for some leniency?"

backing out now would be worse than failing. We'll have to push through. I'll keep an eye out for any news on Virmo to help you." Seeing their concern, Shakira gave a warm smile. "Don't worry about me.
