8 Team Leader, Who? (2/2)

Nodding, Ci-ci turned to walk away, ”Looking forward to seeing you everyday.”

Hearing this, Nellie's brows raised and she shook her head, silently chuckling to herself.

'He's annoying… But, he also doesn't seem like the type…'

Nellie had always prided herself in being able to read people well, and she was sure that Ci-ci wasn't as arrogant or short-sighted as the man she had seen on TV. And yet, the events of a few days ago had happened, that couldn't be denied.

'Interesting…'

The second floor of Petrov Technologies was divided into two halves with a hallway cutting down the middle.

One half held a large panel of glass separated by four faint cuts to separate out four offices.

The other half held another large panel of glass, however, this one only had one cut for a singular doorway into a large meeting and presentation room that oddly doubled as a community lab.

Within that room sat four people who were slowly losing their patience. Well, three of them were, the last seemed to be taking a leisurely nap with his bare feet up on the large meeting table. His hand would sometimes draw odd symbols in the air as he mumbled in sleep, too. It was an odd contrast when compared to his serious and frustrated colleagues.

It seemed as though the other three had tired of trying to get the sleeping young man to change his ways. So, they ignored him, instead focusing their anger on the late Ci-ci Bell. They had been waiting the entire morning for him to show up, even putting their projects on hold, all to have just wasted their time.

They wanted to go back to their offices, but their ex-team leader insisted on a ridiculous set of decorum as though making sure Ci-ci was aware that they had all been waiting would make things better. But, considering they actually liked their now former head inventor, they decided to listen.

However, it was clear they were reaching their tipping point.

Just as even their former head was about to give up and allow them to go back to work, the light sounds of an elevator opening filled the quiet floor.

Three of them looked up at once to see a handsome young man walking down the quiet hallway leisurely.

Seeing the engineers of Petrov Technologies looking at him, Ci-ci smiled lightly before entering through the glass doorway.

”Sorry I'm late everyone. I won't bother with any excuses since it seems that won't make much of a difference.” Ci-ci Bell scanned the three angry faces and one comedically sleeping one before deciding on these words. It really didn't seem like they were in the mood for his excuses anyway.

Settling his gaze on an innocent looking young woman with large framed glasses, Ci-ci smiled, his heart warming a bit.

The anger on the Milana's face turned to confusion in that instant, 'Why's he looking at me like that?...'

However, the gaze disappeared almost as soon as it had appeared before a playful smile curled Ci-ci lips. ”Team leader.” Ci-ci stretched out his hand to shake Milana's. ”I look forward to working with you.”
