Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 12

On Monday morning at eight sharp, Nyla arrived punctually at Park Pharmaceuticals.

The HR completed her onboarding and showed her around the company, familiarizing her with the departments' locations. Afterward, she was escorted to the office of the R&D department manager.

The R&D manager, Genevieve Reeve, was a woman in her 40s with a neat short haircut. She was not one to smile easily, giving off a serious vibe.

"Have a seat," she said after Nyla sat down. "I've reviewed your resume. You achieved quite a bit during your school days, but you haven't been in the lab for the past few years. You'll start as an assistant." "Okay."

Genevieve approved of Nyla's calm composure without any hint of dissatisfaction. She liked subordinates who were down-to-earth. So far, Nyla seemed reliable.

Genevieve stood up and addressed Nyla. "Let me introduce you to your colleagues."

She led Nyla into the R&D department and raised her voice. "Everyone, hold on a moment. We have a new member in our department today. Nyla, please introduce yourself."

Nyla stepped forward with a smile. "Hello, everyone. I'm Nyla Jayston, your new recruit in the R&D department. There's a lot I may not be familiar with initially, so please guide me along the way."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden exclamation came from her left. 'Lucia! You added the wrong reagent!"

Nyla turned toward the voice and recognized the frantic woman tidying up the reagents. She was surprised to see Lucia there.

Lucia's father, Clement Pollard, was the procurement manager at Harris Pharmaceuticals, where he and Harrison had developed a close friendship from their university days. As a result, the Jayston and Pollard However, after the Jaystons went bankrupt, the Pollards quickly distanced themselves, and Lucia even blocked Nyla.

Later, Nyla learned from Valarie that at a high school reunion, Lucia had claimed she never considered Nyla a friend and had only been nice to her because of her father's job at Harris Pharmaceuticals This revelation had made Nyla realize that not everyone who smiled at her genuinely liked her-some simply found her useful.

Genevieve looked at Lucia, frowning. "What's going on? Aren't you usually the most careful?"

in a hurry, Lucia looked guilty as she glanced at Genevieve. "I got distracted for a
