"I think I need to consider it."
Hearing this, Jonas felt no disappointment. On the contrary, he was quite pleased with Yucas's reaction.
Needing to consider it meant that the girl was deeply conflicted. If she had agreed without a second thought, Jonas might have had to postpone his plans.
In the end, the girl left the Alt Corporation building with her thoughts in a tangled mess, and Jonas gave her permission to leave work early.
Just after Yucas left, a girl slowly emerged from the shadow behind Jonas. Miss Nightingale leaned against the wall and asked sarcastically:
"Do you say that to everyone?"
Jonas was not surprised to hear her voice. Instead, he replied with a faint smile:
"Of course not. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you listen in, Miss Nora, would I?"
Even without your permission, you might not have noticed me listening in.
Nora thought this rather defiantly, then seemed to realize something and asked:
"Then who exactly will be in charge of this department?"
"On paper, Miss Amili. Of course, I'll also need you to keep her in check behind the scenes, Miss Nora."
Jonas lightly tapped his fingers against the desk as he spoke softly.
Nora said nothing in response, seemingly quite satisfied with his answer.
"I don't particularly trust Miss Amili, so I need someone I can trust to keep her in check... and you, Miss Nora, are undoubtedly one of the best candidates."
At the words "someone I can trust," the corners of Nora's lips rose involuntarily, though she did not let her private feelings show too clearly.
Clearly, receiving such an assessment from Jonas was something worth being happy about. She simply refused to admit that something like this could make her happy.
She involuntarily glanced at Jonas out of the corner
