When she returned to Opal Heights, Josephine saw several small vacuum–sealed bags of pomegranate seeds on the storage shelf by the door.
There was also a note, the handwriting bold and powerful, ink flowing like a tiger, exuding a sense of depth and weight.
“Natalia also loves pomegranates, so I prepared some for you as well. Remember to keep them refrigerated.”
Josephine walked out onto the terrace and looked up, a warm current flowing through her body.
For some reason, she thought of Zachery’s WhatsApp username.

She found herself growing curious about Natalia’s mother.
The next morning, Josephine arrived at the chip production line half an hour early.
She was stunned for a few seconds by the towering letters spelling out “EternalCore Fab.”
Thalassa Group truly had the grandeur to swallow mountains and rivers.
She liked it!
The original LuminousCore Tech team hadn’t been disbanded; instead, they had signed new contracts with Thalassa Group.
IP engineer Jasper Voss, software engineer Theodore Lennox, chip architect Nora Hale, and
others.
As the director, Josephine waited for everyone to arrive, introduced herself first, and then informed them that there would be a meeting in ten minutes.
Jasper said, “I’ve got a task with the CPU storage unit and can’t leave right now.”
Nora said, “I need to set the technical roadmap.”

The chip manufacturing engineers went straight to change into cleanroom suits and headed to the production line.
Josephine quickly realized that she was being ostracized by this tight–knit group.
She remained calm and unruffled, turning her gaze to the only one who hadn’t spoken-
Theodore.
Theodore was the youngest among them, with striking features and a brooding expression, as
somber as winter.
He stood up, his voice utterly flat as he said:
“I can.”
Everyone’s eyes shot toward Theodore like arrows, as if looking at a traitor.
Josephine’s gaze swept lightly over the indignant faces. “Since everyone is busy, the meeting will be postponed to eleven o’clock.”
Josephine waited in the meeting room until eleven, but only Theodore showed up.
She sent out another notice: “Meeting at three in the afternoon.”
This time, Theodore and Nora’s group all came, but Josephine simply said two words: “Meeting adjourned!”
Josephine sent out another notice:
“Meeting at five. If anyone is still absent, they will bear the consequences themselves.”
Only then did everyone realize that this new leader intended to use courtesy before resorting to force.
She had called four meetings, none of which took up time outside of work hours. Even if she fired them, they would have nothing to say.
By five o’clock, almost everyone had arrived.
Only the rebellious Jasper, with a face full of defiance, was nearly ten minutes late.
He hadn’t even sat down when Josephine said sternly:
“It seems punctuality is quite difficult for Mr. Voss. Mr. Voss, you may pack your things and

go to the finance department to settle your wages.”
“Why? I was only a few minutes late! What right do you, a traitor despised by everyone in the industry, have to fire me?”
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Jasper was bold–too bold, and too foolish.
In truth, everyone resented Josephine. Because of her, their hard work was always defeated by Novo Tech.
Moreover, Josephine had hidden a covert camera on her chest to leak secrets in revenge against her ex–husband–a truly despicable act.
But what could they do? This beautiful “traitor” had become their boss. They all had to make a living–who dared to insult her to her face?
