But it was quite obvious Grendel was overthinking things; sometimes, intelligent people are prone to scaring themselves.
Lance, of course, knew Grendel had strong administrative abilities, but the priority had always been dealing with the Old Ancestor. The real shortage was talent with research capabilities. In all of Hamlet, only she could take over the Witch's legacy and continue to drive the research. As for minor administrative tasks, I can handle those myself. Why would I delay a research talent for such trivial matters? I'm not a fool. This trade-off wasn't even a choice; naturally, he assigned her to the research post.
Knowing how to employ people effectively is a leader's most crucial skill, but people's hearts are so unpredictable...
Grendel also realized she might have been overthinking. However, admitting the real reason was impossible; she was a bit too thin-skinned for that.
She could only accept the documents and agree.
"I understand."
