The Return of Special Forces Queen novel Chapter 14

Standing off to the side, Jeannie proudly tilted her chin up. As a recent college graduate, she was eager to make a name for herself. "Don't worry, I'll handle the project perfectly!"

If someone like Jocelyn could do it, then surely she could do it ten times better!

Jeannie looked down on Jocelyn entirely. During the handover, she arrogantly flipped through the files. "I thought your job was actually difficult, but this is a breeze. It seems you really have just been freeloading off my brother's company all this time."

Jocelyn ignored the jab, but the rest of the project team heard it loud and clear.

A breeze? How on earth was this simple?! The technical specs and highly specialized knowledge in Jocelyn's proposals were incredibly advanced!

The fact that Jeannie could even make such a comment proved she knew absolutely nothing about drone technology. Could someone like her really be their manager?

Yet, no one dared to voice their concerns. After all, Jeannie was the boss's sister. Getting on her bad side meant getting canned.

Jeannie carelessly tossed one of Jocelyn's completed phase reports onto the desk. "Alright, I've seen enough. Just get out. And don't even think about crawling back later. My brother's company isn't a garbage dump!"

Hearing her, the team reached a whole new level of astonishment at her sheer stupidity. It only made them miss Jocelyn more. They watched her with growing reluctance to see her go.

"Don't worry, I won't be returning. As for you, a garbage dump actually sounds like a perfect fit," Jocelyn replied coolly.

Jeannie's face turned beet red. Was Jocelyn calling her trash?!

She raised her hand to slap her, but Jocelyn easily caught her wrist mid-air.

"Jeannie, the only reason I ever put up with you was out of respect for Carter. I have zero reason to tolerate you now!"

"Let go! Let go of me!" Jeannie shrieked as the grip tightened painfully.

Jocelyn shoved her arm back.

"Why not give my company a try first?" Lana suggested eagerly. "I've been trying to recruit you ever since you got discharged! Your drone research is incredible. If you hadn't wasted all these years helping Carter build his startup, you'd be a top-tier expert in the industry by now."

Jocelyn lowered her eyes thoughtfully. In college, she had majored in unmanned aerial systems, and during her time in the service, she had led several classified drone projects.

She had originally planned to introduce a commercial drone division for Grayson Tech's latest expansion. But since she had cut all ties with Carter, joining Lana's tech firm didn't seem like a bad idea.

"I'll think about it," she finally said.

"Awesome!" Lana cheered.

If Jocelyn was thinking about it, that meant there was a huge chance she'd say yes! Poaching a genius like Jocelyn would instantly supercharge her entire development department.

Right then, Jocelyn's phone rang. When she picked up, Jeannie's shrill, entitled voice poured out. "Jocelyn, if you're not dead yet, get your ass over here right now! Did you forget you're supposed to take my mom to the hospital today?!"
