Female Novel
Chapter 2509
"It's our job, Dr. Craw. We're heading to Watson Biopharmaceuticals first," said Zoey. She was carryinga thick file. It contained all the information for the application of the drug launch.
"Sure. Off you go." Luca nodded.
After Luca watched Zoey and Rhett leave from behind, she withdrew her gaze, looked down, andpondered for a moment.
The phone in her pocket vibrated for a moment. Luca picked it up and glanced at her phone. She sawthe number on the screen was not a string of numbers but Tina's phone number. She let out a sigh ofrelief.
"Tina, what's the matter?" Luca answered the call.
"Dr. Craw, Boss, and Mr. Doyle haven't come to the office yet. I can only look for you." Tina did not gostraight to the point. She expressed how helpless she was at first.
Luca replied embarrassedly, "Mr. Crawford worked overtime last night. He should be at home now. Youcan call him if it's about work."
There was no way Luca could handle T Corporation's matters. She was in no position to handle themeither.
Tina immediately said, "It's not about work. The man who came looking for Boss last night when hewas working overtime came here again. Boss isn't in the office now. I don't dare to let others in easily."
"A man came when he was working overtime last night?" Luca was surprised. She thought it would nothave been T Corporation's partner. Otherwise, Tina would not be at such a loss. Luca asked, "May Iknow the man's family name?"
"Mr. Norton. He was in the CEO's office last night. He's here again today," Tina said helplessly. Sheeven served him a beverage before she got off work yesterday.
That was why she knew Gordan was there until late at night. He was still in the office when she got offwork.
"Gordan Norton..." It finally dawned on Luca. Was Gordon in Luke's office for a long time last night?
However, Luca had already fallen asleep when Luke came back home. Thus, he did not mention it toher.
"Yes. That's his name. The guard said he's already downstairs. Dr. Craw, what should I do now?" Tinaknew Boss and Mr. Doyle would come late to the office because they worked until late at nightyesterday.
Tina did not want to disturb Boss and Mr. Doyle because of this man. It would make her lookunprofessional.
However, she had no idea how she should deal with Gordan.
Generally speaking, her boss' friend came to visit him, but he was not there. The visitor should leave,but Gordan was different from the others. The guard told him that Luke was not in the office yet, butGordan still insisted on going upstairs.
Of course, the guard had to stop him.
However, it troubled Tina to use such a method. She should not be offending Luke's friends, but Lukewas not here. She could not let him in without permission either. She thought about it over and overagain, and she had no choice but to ask Luca.novelbin
"Ask him to come to my office." Luca pondered for a moment and came up with such a solution.
If they did not let Gordan in, he might stand at T Corporation's entrance as though he was a statue likewhat he did yesterday.
Besides, Luke owed Gordan a favor. Although Vivian refused to see him, it was fine if he was in TCorporation. Vivian was not here, after all.
"Okay, Dr. Craw." Tina let out a sigh of relief. After she hung up the call, she quickly headed downstairsto receive Gordan.
Gordan raised his brows and asked when he saw Tina, "Has your boss arrived?"
Tina replied helplessly, "Mr. Norton, Boss isn't here yet. Let me take you to Dr. Craw's office first."
"He's not here yet?" Gordan waited for Tina to swipe her employee card and followed her into thebuilding. He initially thought that Luke was avoiding him on purpose. That was why he asked the guardto stop him from coming in.
"Yes. Boss got off work late last night. He's probably still at home or on his way here," replied Tina asshe pressed the elevator button.
"Yeah. He went home late last night, but I've already woken up. You're telling me he hasn't come to theoffice yet? He's slacking off," Gordan commented.
Tina smiled helplessly. She dared not to go along with what he said.
After all, many other bosses arrived at the office later than Luke did. It was rare to see Luke come tothe office late, and she had been working at T Corporation for such a long time.
Tina led Gordan the way to Luca's office and said, "Mr. Norton, this is Dr. Craw's office. Please sit herefor a while. I'll inform Boss that you came when he comes to work."
"Sure," replied Gordan.
Tina knocked on Luca's office door and said, "Dr. Craw, Mr. Norton is here."
"Come in." Luca's voice came from inside the office.
Tina pushed the door open and turned to look at Gordan, "Mr. Norton, please head in."
"Thank you." Gordon walked into the office slovenly and saw Luca sitting behind her office desk. Hesmiled and said, "Sis, why are you in the office when Luke isn't here yet?"
The look on Luca's face changed when Gordan called her 'Sis'.
He glanced at the door behind him. Tina had already closed the door.
"Mr. Norton, you can just call my name," said Luca. She was not Bianca now. It was inappropriate toaddress her as Sis.
"Aren't you together with him?" Gordon deliberately said that. He knew Luca's true identity was Bianca,and he knew the reason behind the situation now too. He was displeased when Vivian refused to seehim. Besides, Luke and Luca refused to help him as well. That was why he intentionally mocked her.
Luca could sense Gordan was unhappy, so she asked, "Mr. Norton, what would you like to drink?"
Gordon waved his hand and thought that he should not be blaming others for Vivian's and his matter.Hence, he said, "No, thanks. What time is he coming to the office?"
"He was still in bed when I came to work," Luca told him she had no idea.
It was normal for Luke to sleep in when he got off work so late.
"Why don't you call and ask him? Sitting here and waiting for him isn't the solution," said Gordan as hesat on the sofa. Then, he patted the sofa and said, "Luke isn't thoughtful enough. The sofa in youroffice isn't as good as the one in his office."
Luca felt awkward. The way Gordan vented his emotions looked like a vexatious kid.
However, not everyone had to spoil the kid.
"Mr. Norton, you can call Mr. Crawford as well since you have something to discuss with him," saidLuca. She was telling him that she would not make the call for him.
Gordon frowned. She was indeed Luke's woman, tough and strong. He replied, "He's not answering mycalls, but if you call him, he'll certainly answer. Just make the call for me. It's better than me being heredisturbing your work."
Luca said unconcernedly, "You won't be disturbing me even if you're here. Mr. Norton, I'm going to thelab to do some experiments. Take your time. If you'd like to drink something, the office assistants havealready headed to the branch office for work, so you'll have to get it yourself. After you get out of theoffice, turn left and then turn right. That's where the office pantry is."
After that, Luca picked up a pile of documents and stood up.
"Are you going to leave me hanging here?" Gordan was startled.
Luca smiled and replied, "We've got the radiator here. It's better than leaving you out there."
