Chapter 1028


    Gerald was startled. He turned abruptly, his expression rmed as he looked at Imogen. Imogen felt uneasy under his scrutiny. She wondered what Skr had said to Gerald to cause such a strange reaction.


    Just moments ago, Gerald had worn a grim expression and a visibly annoyed attitude. However, upon hearing Skr''s words, he swiftly switched to a smiling face. His round, big face lit up with a broad smile, a sharp contrast to his earlier demeanor.


    Gerald approached Imogen in a gentle and humble manner, speaking in a friendly tone, "You''re Imogen, right?"


    Imogen hurriedly nodded in response. "Yes, Mr. Levingston."


    Gerald smiled warmly and said politely, "Please, call me Gerald. Everyone does."


    "Of course, Gerald," Imogen responded respectfully.


    Apart from his skills, Gerald earned the role of R&D director for his sharp insights. He guided Imogen to her workstation, set up a newputer for her, provided fresh office materials, and warmly introduced her to everyone.


    Where he had previously shown disdain toward her, now he was exceedingly humble and polite, even encouraging other employees to look after her well.


    Skr observed from the sidelines, smiling with satisfaction.


    Later, Imogen followed Skr out of R&D. After exiting the building, Skr politely said, "Let''s call it a day. Get some rest and be here on time tomorrow morning."


    "Thank you, Skr," Imogen replied courteously.


    Skr smiled thoughtfully,menting, "It''s intriguing how two people sharing a name can chart such distinct paths. Not long ago, there was a young woman named Imogen Kingsley, a graduate of Aerospace Academy.


    "She had all the qualifications but didn''t quite catch your break. She ended up starting in our PR department as a junior clerk."


    Imogen''s heart skipped a beat. Anxiously, she asked, "Skr, did you say there''s another Imogen Kingsley in the PR department?"


    Skr nodded. "Yes, is everything alright?"


    "Did she graduate from Aerospace Academy?"


    "Yeah, she did. She''s tall and slender. Are you familiar with her?"


    Imogen offered a wry smile. After a brief pause, she shook her head and responded, "No, I''m not. I just find it interesting to share the same first andst name."


    "That''s true, but she works in PR. The chances of your paths crossing are pretty slim," Skr said.


    Imogen felt the same way. Star


    Enterprise spanned three expansive buildings, each teeming with

    After saying goodbye to Skr, Imogen lingered outside Building One of Star Enterprise.


    As the workday drew to a close, employees began to trickle out of the office, reminiscent of students streaming out of school after the final bell. Clusters of professionals exited in groups, forming a

    continuous flow from the building.


    After a long wait, Imogen finally spotted a familiar figure. Hastening over, she called out, "Zoey."


    Zoey heard her name and turned toward the voice. As she caught sight of Imogen approaching, her face paled with shock.


    After a brief moment of surprise, she swiftly collected herself. Without acknowledging Imogen''s call, Zoey averted her gaze and briskly walked away.


    Imogen hurried over and intercepted Zoey, speaking casually, "Actually, I should''ve addressed you as Imogen. Hold on for a moment. There''s something I need to talk to you."


    Zoey''s expression darkened noticeably. In a tense whisper, she demanded, "How did you find me here? What do you want?"


    "I mean no harm. Please don''t
