Female Novel
Chapter 1838
Queenie noticed that Jack was reluctant to continue talking about the subject. Besides, it seemed likeJack had changed his attitude toward Luca. Queenie was worried about it.
She was worried that something was going on with Bianca and Jack was choosing to avoid talkingabout it as he did not want to trigger her emotions.
Queenie thought it would be better not to say another word when she saw Jack already lying on thebed.
The following day.
Luca followed Luke's car back to the office. She let out a sigh when there was no one around andpushed the car door open calmly.
"Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Luca got out of the car right away after she thanked Luke.
Since staying in the same villa as Luke, Luca had no reason to reject his offer to give her a ride to andback from the office as it was indeed convenient.
After all, they had to be in the office at the same time. Luca would personally prepare breakfast for thechildren. She would leave for work after that, but Luke would already be awake by then.
Hence, Luca could only pray that she would not run into her colleagues when she got out of Luke's car.
Luke shook his head helplessly as he watched Luca trot away. He unfastened his seat belt and got outof the car leisurely.
Did Luca think that she would be able to distance herself from him this way?
That was impossible.
Luca belonged to him, and she would be Mrs. Crawford forever.
Luca let out a sigh of relief when she got into the elevator. Luke did not catch up to her. They were faraway from each other, and no one else would have seen them.
She did not return to her office right away. Instead, she headed to the lab and hosted an early meeting.
Her research project was already coming to an end, and her product would soon be mass-producedbefore being sold on the market. Therefore, no mistakes were allowed to happen now.
Rhett saw Luca walking into the lab. He quickly handed her the meeting agenda. “Dr. Craw, this istoday's meeting agenda.”
Luca took it from Rhett and nodded. “Let me return to my office and take a look at it. We'll hold themeeting in 15 minutes."
While Rhett was secretly exclaiming at how quickly Luca could read the agenda, he handed anotherdocument folder to her. "Dr. Craw, this one's for you too."
"What's this?" Luca took it from him curiously.
"Ms. Stone passed it to me last night. She reminded me again and again to make sure I hand this toyou," answered Rhett. Luca had moved houses, and she did not update her latest address in thecompany's employee information. Hence, they did not know where she was staying now.
Mo Stone had no choice but to pass the folder to Rhett.
Luca was startled for a moment when she heard Mo's name. It must be Dr. Albus' folder.
Did they face difficulties in their research again?
"Dr. Craw, what is it?" Rhett asked cautiously. Mo had reminded him before that the folder containedimportant information, so no one was allowed to read it.
"It's Dr. Albus' research," replied Luca as she headed back to her office.
15 minutes later, Luca finished reading the meeting agenda and went to attend the meeting. Luca didnot go upstairs immediately after she assigned tasks and handled matters that needed her attention.Instead, she sat in the lab and began to study the document folder that Dr. Albus had sent to her.
He had encountered another small issue with his research again.
Luca read through the data attentively and found out where the problem was. She was puzzled. If Dr.Albus had observed this carefully and spent more time dealing with this problem, he would have beenable to solve this himself.
At this point, it was as though he intended to let her see the experiment's results.
Luca's heart sank. Judging from Dr. Albus' capability, this was a problem that he could have solved ifhe had just spent more time on it. He did not have to come to look for her. The arrangements he madeseemed to be intentional.
Could it be that he was from the Island of Despair?
Luca looked at the folder and opened her email. She began to type an email to Dr. Albus to tell himwhere the problem was.
Ten minutes after she sent the email to him, Luca received a reply from Dr. Albus. Other than thankingLuca for helping him, he praised her for being able to find out where the issue was so quickly.
He even told her that his team had been looking for the problem for two days, yet they could not find it.
Luca lifted the corners of her lips subtly. Dr. Albus seemed to be concealing something.
Previously, when Luca helped Dr. Albus solve his problem, she had already understood the entireformula of the drug and other details. Now, he came asking for her help again. It was as if she was aparticipant in the research.
This must be Abel's purpose.
He arranged for Dr. Albus to get into the company and study drugs, but he did not ask Dr. Albus todisclose the formula even though doing that could give T Corporation a big blow.
Instead, Abel wanted Luca to do it herself because she was Luke's wife. This way, it could bring himpleasure!
It gave Luca the chills, but there was nothing she could do.
What could she do to Abel?
She could not even inform Luke, and it was even more impossible for her to hint at Luke.
Luca massaged her aching forehead. The only thing she could do now was record Dr. Albus' researchfindings. Then, she would have to wait for Abel's orders to leak the information immediately.
Perhaps, she would have to sell it...
Luca recorded everything down and sent the details to her email. Then, she secretly deleted her traceson the computer.
She did not want to be that meticulous, but she had no choice.
She could not reveal her identity so soon.
Even if she disclosed the research information to the public, it would not affect T Corporation thatmuch. There were still other research projects that could be monetized. The company might only losethe money they had invested in the early stages of Dr. Albus' research.
Luca had to continue to stay beside Luke to know what was Abel's next step. Perhaps when the timecame, she would have to sacrifice herself to protect Luke and T Corporation.
However, she was not only the one who had to sacrifice herself but her cute little daughter, Nyla, too.
That was why Luca was still hesitating.
She took a deep breath after she was done doing everything. Her expression returned to a calm one.
Luca had to head upstairs to continue to work.novelbin
She had headed to the lab this morning to check on the progress of her project first. The researchers inthe lab were busy with their experiments. Although the final stage of the research was tedious, theyseemed to be dealing with it patiently.
Once the research succeeded, they would receive a considerable amount of money.
Luca left the research lab, got into the elevator, and headed upstairs.
When Luca had just sat down on her office chair, Tina was holding a bouquet of roses and walked intoLuca's office with a smile on her face. “Dr. Craw."
Luca lifted her head and glanced at the bouquet Tina was holding. She smiled and asked, "Who gave itto you?"
"How I wish it's a bouquet for me, but it's actually yours. Do you mind if I put it here?" Tina asked. Tinahad run into the receptionist who was holding the bouquet of roses in the elevator when she went
downstairs to handle some affairs. Tina happened to find out that the roses were for Luca after askingthe receptionist.
"For me?" The smile on Luca's face faded away as her brows furrowed.
"Yes. Your name is written on the card. The receptionist asked me to help give it to you." Tina took thegreeting card out without looking at it. She handed it to Luca immediately.
Luca took it from Tina and placed the card aside without glancing at it.
"Don't you want to find out who gave it to you?" Tina looked at Luca. She knew Luca was not veryhappy to receive the flowers.
