Chapter 184
Gabriel was a bit embarrassed, “It’s okay, just not calling your family, okay?”
Johanna uneasily held her stomach, her gaze slightly lowered, as if she had a lot of grievances that she couldn’t express.
“My husband went on a mission, and I was the only one at home.”
Gabriel heard it and immediately let his guard down, helping her walk into his office.
“Then you go to my office and take a rest first, you military wives really have it tough, especially you alone and pregnant.”
Johanna hung her head and, although not happy with Gabriel’s age, she didn’t want to go to the workshop now, so she pretended to unconsciously hold onto Gabriel’s arm.
Gabriel helped Johanna to his office and poured her a cup of hot water.
He thought pregnant women might need to drink some sweet water or something, so he went to the cafeteria.
Once he left, Johanna looked up and rummaged through his desk to see if there was anything she could use.
Then she noticed a document that Gabriel had casually left behind, a report on technical issues encountered at the factory that he couldn’t explain and was planning to report to his superiors.
Before long, Gabriel came back.

Johanna pretended to weakly shake her hand, slowly drank the glass of water, and then casually noticed the documents on the table.
“Gabriel, I can solve a problem for you.”
Johanna went to the tech department to solve a problem. In the process, she got to know Gabriel from the tech department.
After solving the problem, Johanna said, “The problem has been solved, so I’m going back to the workshop. I’ve already delayed a lot of work these days.”
She said, then she slightly bowed, and got ready to leave.
“Wait, Johanna, staying in the workshop is wasting your talent. The factory has considered your situation, and the technical department happens to need extra help. You should stay in the technical department.”
Johanna heard this and secretly felt happy, but she pretended to be surprised, “This is not really good, L…”
Gabriel waved his hand, “Don’t be modest. You used to work at Equinox Research Laboratory. With your skills, staying in the technical department is no problem. It’s settled then. Report to the technical department tomorrow.”
Johanna’s face lit up with a grateful smile, “Thank you, Mr. Duncan! I really appreciate it! I will work hard and not let you down!”
Coming out of the principal’s office, Johanna let out a long sigh.
She stood up straighter, even though she was just a technician in the technical department, not like at Equinox Research Laboratory. At least she didn’t have to work with those clumsy female workers in the workshop.

As long as she did well, there’s a chance for her to move up!
Johanna’s mouth twitched slightly, then quickly pressed down.
She raised her chin slightly, walked into the women’s locker room, grabbed her stuff.
She won’t have to come back to this crappy place again!
She just grabbed her stuff and was ready to leave.

The door of the changing room was pushed open, and someone pulled back the curtain, seeing Johanna, and said in a sharp voice, “Hey, who do we have here? Turns out it’s Johanna who’s been running to Mr. Duncan’s place these days.”
Another female worker chimed in, with a hint of sourness in her
words.
“Yeah, in just a few days, I already know Mr. Duncan so well.”
“Wow, look at Johanna, dressed so nicely. People who dress nicely are different from us factory workers who face machines every day.”
Those women were giving her side–eye, giggling and teasing. They couldn’t stand her pretentious and affected behavior anymore, especially now that she had married Theron and was all dolled up!
Johanna heard these words, felt uncomfortable, took a deep breath, and explained, “There’s a bit of an issue in the tech department, I’m going over to take a look.”
A few female workers glanced at each other, then burst into laughter, “Solving the problem?”
The leading female worker “snorted” and looked Johanna up and down with her eyes.

“Just you? What problems can you solve?”
Immediately someone next to them interjected in a strange tone, “She probably can solve people’s itchy heart problems.”
As soon as this was said, the room exploded with laughter.
Those female workers left, giggling and winking.
The changing room suddenly quieted down, leaving only Johanna. The air still carried the unpleasant laughter they had just shared.
Johanna gripped her bag tightly, her face tense.
After a while, she finally grabbed her cloth bag and walked out with her head down.
Just as I arrived at the workshop door, I bumped into Gabriel from the technical department.
