Chapter 1190 A Ridiculous Dream
"Yes, Mrs. Crawford." Mo was overjoyed as she held Bianca's name card. After escorting Bianca to theexit, she returned to the Technical Department to continue her work.
Cole went into her office and asked her, "What were you busy with the entire morning? I asked you tocompile the interviewees' resumes and put them on my table. Where is it?"
Mo stood and explained, "I was busy taking care of Madam just now, so I didn't have the time to do it.Let me get it done for you now." "Madam?" Who's Madam?" Cole thought that Mo was trying to findexcuses for herself.
The Technical Department had two assistants, but Rhett had been recruited by Luca to be her personalassistant, so Mo was tasked to do everything else.
Mo had been busy the past two days because she had to help the department manager hire anotherassistant.
"She's Mrs. Crawford, Mr. Crawford's wife. She just left," Mo explained. If he did not believe her, hecould go downstairs and check with the security department.
"Mrs. Crawford was here? Why didn't you tell me?" Cole said.
Mo could not help but feel contemptuous toward Cole when she saw how he was eager to lick herboots. She did not think he was qualified to be the manager of the Technical Department, and he hadnothing but his age and experience to prove himself.
Even though she was having those thoughts, she smiled and replied, "Mrs.
Crawford was here to meet Dr. Craw."
When he heard that, Cole mumbled, "Why is everyone looking for her?" "Maybe they're friends." Moknew better than to tell him the truth. "Don't worry, Dr. Kidman. You'll have the interviewees' resumeson your table in half an hour." "Mm. Please be faster." Cole was not going to blame Mo because Biancahad made her neglect her work, so he could only urge her to be faster.
"Yes, Mr. Kidman," Mo replied. After Cole left the office, she turned away and muttered contemptuously,"Pfft, what a bootlicker."
Meanwhile, Luca returned to her office and read through some documents. When she heard her alarmgo off, it was already noon.
She logged into the group chat on her phone and saw that a conversation was going on. Reading thecontents, the employees were talking about how Mrs. Crawford had visited the building to look for her.
Luca closed the app and did not say anything.
She knew that Bianca wanted to let Jason know about her visit through the employees, and Jasonwould inform Luke about it.
That way, she would achieve her goal. It was not a clever plan, but it was not a stupid one either.
Luca stepped out of the office and bumped into Rhett, who was carrying a stack of documents. "Hereare the documents you requested, Dr. Craw." "Put them on my desk," Luca said as she held the dooropen for him.
Rhett nodded. He put the documents on her desk and stepped out of the office.
"Have you had lunch?" Luca asked.
"Not yet. I was just about to go to the cafeteria." Rhett glanced at the time on his phone, then put hisphone back in his pocket.
"Have you read the employee group chat?" Luca asked.
"Yes." Rhett nodded.
"Let's not go to the cafeteria. We'll eat out today. It's my treat." Luca placed her hands in her pocketsand walked toward the elevator.
"Thank you, Dr. Craw." Rhett quickly followed behind her. He guessed that she did not want to besurrounded by other employees who would be gossiping about her.
At T Corporation, Jason noticed that a lively conversation was going on in the Watson employee groupchat.
In any case, it was lunchtime, and it was normal for the employees to be chatting during their free time.He browsed through the contents of the chat and went to the CEO's office.
The office door was open. Jason knocked on the door and said, "I have something to report, Mr.Crawford." "What is it?" Luke's eyes remained transfixed on the computer screen.
"Madam went to Watson today," Jason said.
Luke's fingers on the keyboard froze for one second and asked, "Why did she go there?" "Apparently,she's there to meet Dr. Craw," Jason said. He had been paying attention to the aftermath of thesituation because he knew that Bianca played a part in the scandal.
"Mm. Is there anything else?" Luke did not seem too bothered.
"That's all for now." Jason glanced at his phone. The people in the chat group were discussing Mrs.Crawford's meeting with Luca and nothing else.
It seemed that it was not something worth worrying about.
"Mm," Luke replied while working.
Seeing that Luke did not give him any commands, Jason rubbed his nose and left the office.
After Jason left, Luke stopped typing on his keyboard and took out his phone.
None of the people in the chat group knew that Jason had added Luke's alternate account into thegroup. He read the conversation and found that the Watson employees were very interested inBianca's appearance.
He scrolled upward and saw that Mo was the first person to mention Bianca.
He knew that Mo was an assistant in the Technical Department. She kept on diverting the conversationtoward the meeting between Bianca and Luca, even when the other employees were starting to talkabout other things.
It was as though she wanted everyone to focus on the incident.
Luke also noticed that Luca did not say anything.
He tapped on her profile. She did not upload a profile picture, and he could not see her timelinebecause they were not friends.
Knowing her personality, Luke guessed that she would not have posted anything to her timelineanyway.
Luke was suddenly reminded of the dream. He could not help but feel uneasy when he rememberedhow Bianca's face had turned into Luca.
He put his phone away and forced himself to focus on his work.
The more he tried to focus on his work, the more he could not do so.
Luke pushed his keyboard away.
At that time, Jason happened to come into the office with Luke's lunch delivery. He was quite surprisedwhen he saw Luke doing that.
He had worked for Luke for many years, but he had very rarely seen Luke display that level ofimpatience as though something was bothering him.novelbin
"Your lunch is here, Mr. Crawford." Jason stood at the doorway, not knowing if he should go in or leave.
"Put it here." Luke took a gulp of coffee, stood up, and went to the window.
Jason could sense his irritation. He stepped carefully into the office, put the lunch box on his desk, andimmediately left.
Luke stared out of the window for a very long time before he felt the irritation die down.
He rarely remembered his dreams, but that ridiculous dream clung stubbornly to his mind. Every timehe recalled it, it evoked a greater reaction within him.
The irritation flared up when he recalled Luca's face. He punched the window and cursed under hisbreath.
