“What time does the meeting start?” asked Luca.“Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Dr. Craw, are you sure that you’re able to attend?” Mo confirmed with her once again. It was not her who wanted Luca to come over but the bunch of old fogeys at the company.She was just conveying their message.“Yes,” Luca gave her an affirmative answer. Although she did not know the point of the meeting, if it was about Dr. Albus, she would not expect the other professors to lend a helping hand.When it came to their benefit, friendships and all that was fake.She hung up the phone and folded her hands together. She felt bad as she thought about what had happened to Dr. Albus.Half an hour later, Rhett walked up to Luca’s office with a lunch box in his hands. He recalled her instructions and hung the lunch box on the door handle.“Rhett, is that you?” Luca heard sounds.Rhett thought his movements had disturbed her and said apprehensively, “Yes, Dr. Craw. Sorry for disturbing you.”“It’s okay. Com
“Ms. Lynn, I’ve already eaten. You can go by yourself.” Zoey declined Jenni’s invitation. She looked up at the office door to see that Jenni was indeed standing there.She could not come in, yet she still insisted on standing there as if she was determined to get her to come out.Zoey felt helpless as Jenni was not afraid to stand there and cause trouble.There were several floors in the company that had confidential documents, such as their floor. They kept many important documents. Although losing those documents would not pose a threat to T Corporation’s operations, Watson Biopharmaceutical’s operations would be affected.Therefore, the company’s employees avoided the floors with important documents as much as they could as to not get themselves into trouble when the surveillance cameras were checked in case something happened.“It’s only been half an hour and you’ve eaten?” Jenni was doubtful.“I brought some food from home. Ms. Lynn, I still have work to do. I’m sorry,” Zoey
“That’s right. Dr. Craw’s medicine is effective and doesn’t come with side effects or dependence. It’s much more effective than the sleeping pills prescribed at the hospital. It just hasn’t entered the market yet. She made it herself and takes it as well. It’s quite safe,” said Zoey. Rhett had told her all of this.As for how Rhett knew about it, she did not ask.He must know much more than they did, Rhett was Luca’s assistant, after all.“Dr. Craw is brilliant,” Tina spoke highly of her, but she had no intention of asking Luca for the medicine.She was only suffering from temporary insomnia. As long as she cleared her mind, she would be able to return to her old sleeping habits.“You seem to be in bad shape. If this issue persists, your work will be affected too,” said Zoey as she looked at Tina’s haggard appearance. If she had not known that Tina was not seeing anyone, she would have thought that she just got dumped.“Let’s talk about it some other time.” Tina shook her head. S
As of right now, Amur was under the same circumstances as her. It was not appropriate for them to be emotionally involved with people who were not from the Island of Despair.However, Luca was confident that she would get Eler and Amur off the Island of Despair.“Is that so?” Tina’s heart stirred slightly. If what she said was true, then Amur was not ignoring her on purpose.He just did not have a way to contact her.Tina felt better now. Although Luca was unaware that there was something else going on between them, it was no longer like in the olden days when one had to report to family members after making an acquaintance…After seeing the spark in Tina’s eyes, Luca smiled and said, “That’s it. Not only you, but it’s hard for me to get a hold of him too. He’s been busy ever since he went back to Russia. He practically has no time to check his phone.”“Even you can’t get a hold of him?” Tina was shocked. How busy could he be?“He’s too busy. When things have been taken care of,
Luca followed Mo’s lead and walked into the conference room.There were already two professors waiting in the conference room.When they saw Luca walk in, the two professors said one after another, “Dr. Craw, you’re here. It’s been too long.”“Long time no see, Professors.” After receiving the warm welcome from the two professors, Luca knew what was going on.It seemed that the rumors from T Corporation had reached this side as well.The two companies were not deeply associated, but somehow, gossip still managed to find its way here. Luca had resigned herself to it.“Yes, it’s been a long time. Have a seat.” Dr. Linwood looked at Luca and thought that since she was close with Luke, he should not offend her.After seeing how attentive Dr. Linwood was, Dr. Jackson was unwilling to fall behind. He asked Mo, “When will the other professors and general manager arrive? They should know that Dr. Craw’s time is very precious.”“Everyone, please wait a moment. I’ll go inform them again.
Although they could not treat these people as if they were gods, they could not offend them either.Luca was worried that Abel would make a move in the later stages.His pharmaceutical company was quite well-known in A City. Plus, Watson’s welfare package was not the best, so if he made a proposal to these professors, he might be able to win them over.The research results may also be taken away or even abandoned. If that happened, the research funds that were invested at the beginning would all be for nothing.Luca would not sit back and give Abel such an opportunity. The general manager dared not express his suspicion of these professors again because of her relationship with Luke.The meeting lasted for more than an hour.As Dr. Linwood had said, the general manager put all his hopes for the company’s performance on her research group.All she could do was bite the bullet and agree to it.After the meeting ended, Luca did not stay back to chit-chat with the other professors
Zoey hurriedly walked out and said, “Dr. Craw, are you going to the lab?”Luca stopped in her tracks and looked back at her. “Yes, what is it?”“Dr. Craw, Mr. Crawford is waiting in your office…” Zoey informed her. Luke had just come downstairs looking for Luca. After learning that she still had not returned from her meeting at Watson, he decided to wait here.After hearing that Luke was waiting for her, she started to feel all warm inside. She turned around and made a gesture to Rhett, signaling him to go in first. Rhett nodded and walked toward the lab.Luca looked back at Zoey and asked, “How long has Mr. Crawford been waiting?”Zoey glanced at the time and replied, “About ten minutes. He knew that you were still in a meeting at Watson, so he went straight into your office without telling me to inform you.” Luke was the boss of this company, after all. Hence, she watched him walk into Luca’s office without stopping him.“Got it.” Luca turned around and walked back to her o
After Luca had successfully clocked out, she walked into the CEO’s exclusive elevator with Luke.The elevator doors closed slowly, and Zoey withdrew her gaze as she could not help but sigh. “What a perfect match, but how unfortunate…”Rhett walked into the office and heard her sigh, so he asked out of curiosity, “What match? What’s unfortunate?”Zoey shook her head as she dared not gossip about the boss’ relationship with him. “Are you going home?”“How can I go home when the research professor hasn’t gone home yet?” said Rhett while picking up a stack of files next to the printer on the desk. He was the laboratory assistant. If the researchers were working overtime, he would have to as well.“But Dr. Craw has just gone home,” said Zoey.Rhett was about to exit the office when he stopped in his tracks all of a sudden and looked back at her. “Dr. Craw got off work already?”“She just clocked out half a minute ago. She should have arrived downstairs by now,” informed Zoey. If Luca
