Female Novel
Chapter 2531
This place was remote. If it were not for the cheap land prices, the companies would not have chosenthis place. There would probably be no restaurants here.
Gordon picked up the menu. He was not such a picky eater.
He ordered many dishes without considering if they could finish them all. After all, all he thought aboutwas wanting to rip Luca off.
The two of them could not finish everything Gordan had ordered.
Luca knew Gordan did it on purpose. She did not stop him. Instead, she sent a message to Rhett:[Where are you?]
[Dr. Craw, I'm still in the office.] Rhett replied.
[There's a farm-to-table restaurant near our office. Come over here.] Luca reckoned that Rhett was stillin the office now. He was probably tidying things up and did not have time for lunch.
[Okay, Dr. Craw.] Rhett replied to her message.
Gordon continued to order a few dishes.
The waiter beside him could not help but ask, “Sir, may I know how many people will be eating?"
“Just the two of us. Why?" Gordan turned to look at the young waiter.
The waiter's face reddened as he kindly reminded him, "The portion of the dishes served in ourrestaurant is quite large. I'm worried that the two of you might not be able to finish them all."
Gordan turned to look at Luca. She was holding her cup of tea without saying anything.
Since the one who was going to pay for the lunch did not say anything, it would be fine if he orderedsome more. Then, he said, "It's okay. I'm a big eater. Besides, we can wrap them up and take themhome."
After that, Gordon ordered another two portions of chicken parmesan.
Luca was still indifferent.
After Gordan ordered two salads, he turned to look at Luca. Then, he smiled and asked, "Dr. Craw, youdon't mind, right?"
"No. We're not going to waste the food anyway." Luca took a sip of the tea. "Besides, I should thankyou for helping."
Gordon closed the menu. There was a trace of slyness in his smile. "Actually, someone has alreadypaid me on behalf of you."
"Huh?" Luca blinked her eyes as she put down her cup. Was it Luke?
“I'm getting ready to move. He promised me that he'll get me a sofa and a bed. They'll be of the samebrand as the sofa in his office," Gordon replied with a smile. He was pleased to get the best deal fromboth Luke and Luca at the same time.
It dawned on Luca that was why Gordan had been behaving submissively by following her to WatsonBiopharmaceuticals. It also explained the cunning smirk on his face now.
“Mr. Crawford has always been generous." Luca gave him an answer that she thought Gordan couldnot agree with more.
“Don't you feel sorry for him?" Gordan asked. Although Luke was wealthy, money did not grow ontrees. It was his hard-earned money.
“Mr. Crawford gave those things to you. Why should I feel sorry?" Luca questioned.
It was not like Luke could not afford them. Besides, even though Gordan looked like he was disturbingLuke, Luca knew Gordan had helped him to handle many situations.
They would talk about it during lunchtime when they had lunch together. Hence, Luca knew all about it.
“Fine." Gordan thought Luca's response was uninteresting.
Luca smiled at him.
Rhett walked into the restaurant and went straight to their table. Then, he said, “Dr. Craw, what's thematter?"
“Mr. Link, sit down and have lunch." Luca signaled Rhett to sit beside Gordan.
“Ah, that's probably not a good idea..." Rhett glanced at Gordan, then he turned to look at Luca again.
It seemed inappropriate for him to join them when they were having lunch together.
“It's nothing. Mr. Norton ordered many dishes. The two of us won't be able to finish them all. It'll be awaste if there are any remaining dishes. Plus, you haven't eaten lunch, right?" Luca turned to look atGordan. “Mr. Norton, what say you?"
“Yes. you're right. It's enough for the three of us." Gordan secretly mumbled to himself that was whyLuca did not say anything about it.
Gordan wondered if he ordered more, would Luca ask all of those working in WatsonBiopharmaceuticals to come over here?
It would probably become a social event.
Rhett had no choice but to sit down.
After the dishes were served, the three of them enjoyed the meal.
Gordan could not help but tease Rhett. “Mr. Link, do you mind if I ask you some questions?"novelbin
Rhett grabbed a tissue and wiped his mouth. He nodded and replied, “Go ahead, Mr. Norton." “Is ittiring to work in the biopharmaceutical industry?" Gordan asked.
“Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, it's tiring no matter what job or industry you're working in, so it'sokay for me," answered Rhett. The reason he thought it was alright for him was simple.
Working for Luca was not that troublesome.
Moreover, the pay for those who worked in the biopharmaceutical industry was not too bad, especiallysince he was working for a company related to T Corporation. Watson Biopharmaceuticals was slightlybetter than their competitors.
Gordan asked another question, “Is it difficult to work for Dr. Craw?"
“It feels great to work for Dr. Craw." Rhett threw Gordan a confused look. Why was he asking suchweird questions?
"Mr. Norton, even if Mr. Link isn't happy to work for me, he probably can't say that in front of me, right?"Luca could not help but ask jokingly. Was Gordan trying to make conversation when the food could notshut his mouth?
Gordan took a bite of the steak and took a sip of the juice. "Fine. I'm just asking random questions.Don't take it seriously."
"Dr. Craw, Mr. Norton..." Rhett put down his cutleries. He was at a loss of what to say as he felt like hewas stuck between Luca and Gordan.
"Just eat. Mr. Norton is just bored." Luca knew what kind of person Gordan was.
Gordan was also talkative when he had lunch with Luke for the past few days. It made Luke have theurge to stuff all the food into his mouth to shut him up.
Rhett gave an awkward smile, lowered his head, and continued eating.
After they finished lunch, Luca picked up her phone and went to pay the bill.
Gordan took his last sip of the juice, enjoying the sweetness of it. Then, he muttered, "It seems likecheap juices taste good too."
Rhett heard him and asked, "Mr. Norton, do you like the juice? Would you like me to get you anotherbottle?"
"No, thank you. I've had enough." Gordan patted Rhett's shoulder. Fresh graduates like him who hadjust come out from college seemed interesting.
Vivian suddenly came across Gordan's mind at the thought of college students.
Her school semester would be commencing in a few days.
After Luca paid for the lunch, she walked toward them and heard their conversation. Then, she said, "Ithought you've had it before?"
"If it were in the past, I'd rather just have a glass of water. Dr. Craw, the meal was good. Thanks for thetreat. It's getting late. I've got something else to do. See you around." Gordan glanced at the time. Hewould make it on time if he set off to the agency now.
"Warren's here. You can ask him to give you a ride," said Luca.
"That's the chauffeur Luke arranged for you. I wouldn't dare to ask him." Gordan waved his hand,turned around, and left.
Rhett watched Gordan leave from behind. He could not help but exclaim, "Mr. Norton is an interestingperson."
"Interesting?" Luca asked. She did not think Gordan was interesting at all.
Sometimes, what was shown on the outside and what the others could see was just a disguise toprotect one.
Gordan Norton was absolutely uninteresting.
