Female Novel
Chapter 1804
"Dr. Craw? I went downstairs with her just now but I don't think she was going for lunch." Jasonreported truthfully but wondered why Luke did not call her directly.
'Aren't they already living together? Why are they still so awkward when they're in the office?
After all, Luke was the boss of the company. Jason did not think that should be the case.
No one would dare say anything even if he used a public tool for private use.
"Where did she go?" Luke asked even though he had an answer in his heart. If she went downstairsand did not go for lunch, she was probably too tired. Hence, she went to the office downstairs to rest.
He glanced at Luca's office. It was a temporary office that used to be a vacant utility room, so there wasnot enough space for a sofa that could fit her.
"I think she's in the lab." Jason looked at his thoughtful expression and felt a little uneasy.
Luke turned around and walked to his office. When he thought that Luca might not eat and just sleepuntil the end of the lunch break, he turned around and said to Jason, "Order a meal and put it on Dr.Craw's desk."
"Got it, Boss," Jason replied.
Luke returned to his office and closed the door because he did not want to be disturbed by others. Hemoved the mouse to open the monitoring software that had not been in use for a long time.
Since Luca moved to the office upstairs, he had not used the software.
Moreover, after he found out that she was Bianca, he did not install surveillance cameras in the newoffice because he believed that she would never hurt him.
She did what she did because she was compelled to.
Luke looked at the surveillance footage and saw Luca lying on the sofa with her head facing thecamera. She used a coat to cover her body.
It was cold, but all she did was put on a coat.
Luke could not sit still. The moment he stood up, he sat down again. Luca would be suspicious if hesent a blanket over.
Although he knew her true identity, he did not want her to know what he was doing for her.
Looking at the woman lying on the sofa resting, he silently clenched his fists and called Tina in.
Tina knocked on the door. After she got his permission to step in, she opened the door and asked,"Boss, what can I help you with?"
"Have the logistics team send each department a few blankets," Luke said.
"Huh?" Tina was a little confused as to why each department needed blankets. "Boss, what are theblankets for?"
Luke glanced at the screen and showed an indifferent expression. "It's getting cold. Our employeesmight catch a cold if they don't have a blanket during their lunch break."
Tina nodded in response...
However, the company had never implemented something like this before. This initiative was out of theblue, so Tina thought about it before figuring out why he gave the order. She said, "Boss, do you needto equip the senior management of each department with one more? Just to be safe."
Luke thought what she said made sense and nodded. "Go for it."
"Okay, Boss. I'll make arrangements right now." Tina left his office with a smile.
Luke's gaze fell on the computer screen again. There was limited space on the sofa, so Luca did notchange her sleeping position. She slept straight and appreciated every second that she got to rest.
At the end of the lunch break, the alarm clock on her phone rang and there was a knock on the door.
Luca opened her eyes and said to Rhett, who was at the door, "I'm awake."
When Rhett heard her reply, he stopped knocking on the door and said, "Okay, Dr. Craw. I bought youlunch. Would you like to have it now?"
Luca glanced at the time. It was already after lunch hours. She used her lunch break to rest andthought that it was not fair for her to use her work time to eat. She turned him down, saying, "Thankyou, but don't worry about it. I'll get back to work in a moment."
Rhett heard that she did not want to eat and did not insist. He returned to the laboratory to continuewith the research.
Luca sat on the sofa, turned off the alarm clock, put on her coat, and left the office without stayingmuch longer.
When she returned to the office upstairs, Luca saw a takeaway box on her desk and frowned.
'Who put it here? Was it Luke?'
Luca subconsciously denied this possibility but knew that besides him, not many would so thoughtfullyprepare food for her.
She picked up the takeaway box, walked to Jason's office, and found that his door was not closed. Shestill knocked on it nonetheless.
Jason looked up from the pile of documents, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Dr. Craw, it's you."
"Mm. Mr. Doyle, did you put this takeaway box in my office?" Luca asked as she showed the takeawaybox.
Jason glanced at the takeaway box and replied, "Yes and no. The boss asked me to put it in youroffice. He might have asked me to get that for you because I mentioned that you went downstairs forwork, so he guessed that you wouldn't have lunch."
Luca heard him and nodded. 'It's really him...'
"Okay, thank you." After she thanked him, she was ready to go back to her office.
Jason said, "Dr. Craw, why don't you go and warm up the food? You can continue working after youhave something to eat. It won't take much time anyway. The boss arranged it as such because he'sconcerned about your health."
Luca did not intend to eat at first but reconsidered after she heard what Jason said. 'Yes, this is his kindintention. Although I act like I don't care, how could I not eat it?'
"Okay..." She walked into the pantry with the takeaway box.
On the other hand.
Madam Mallory was in Pierre's ward. Her phone kept ringing. She was tending to Pierre while dealingwith the mess he created.
Pierre was taking painkillers more frequently. The doctor had no choice but to inject valium to preventthe excessive painkillers from causing irreversible damage to his nerves.
After Madam Mallory finished her phone call, she looked at her son who had become sluggish due tothe valium. She could not help but sigh. There were mixed emotions in her eyes.
Pierre's mess was more complicated than she had imagined, and to make matters worse, Old MasterMallory had already gotten someone to investigate the matter.
She tried stopping them but still could not stop the men Old Master Mallory hired.novelbin
The phone rang again and Madam Mallory answered. "What's the matter?"
"Madam, you asked me to investigate the whereabouts of Mrs. Norman and I found her. Coincidentally,she's also at the hospital today." The person on the other end of the phone reported.
"At the hospital? The same hospital as Pierre?" Madam Mallory asked.
"Yes, that's the one. However, she's not there for treatment. She seems to be taking care of a patient,but we didn't manage to find out the identity of the patient," the person on the other end of the phonereplied.
"Okay, got it." Madam Mallory took a deep breath and said, "You at least found the ward number, right?Send me the ward number."
"Okay, Ma'am." The person on the other end of the phone texted her the ward number after they hungup the call.
