Plus, she wasn't a fan of being under the camera's glare.

Camila found Jovanni.

Before she could even open her mouth, Jovanni said, "No way. Don't even bother trying to convince me."

“You're shutting me down before I can say anything," Camila pointed out.

"I didn't do the operation. If I pretend I did, wouldn't that be a fraud?" Jovanni asked.

Camila was stumped.

"You're about to become the new director of this institute. It's not like it's a total lie," she reasoned.

Camila had already spoken with Jovanni privately.

He was eager to step up as director and had new projects in the pipeline. He just had his hands full at the moment.

He waved her off, saying, "I'm not doing it. No matter what you say."

Jovanni added, "Look, you're the one leaving, so you should take the credit for this. You've done all the heavy lifting. Don't just vanish like you were never here.”

“How could it be? I'll still be in your memories. Plus, I'll drop by when I can."

“You're right, but I just can't help you this time. You'd better find somebody else."

Jovanni's tone was firm.

So Camila had to look for someone else.

But nobody was up for the task.

Everyone was nervous about what might go wrong.

Since they hadn't done the surgery, getting caught would be a disaster.

These days, the Internet was fast.

If they got exposed, they'd be swamped with online hate.
