Female Novel
Chapter 1857
After Enoch left, Queenie let out a breath of relief.
She hoped this issue would end and no more trouble would crop up.
In the afternoon, Luca was still busy at work.
That was because the department downstairs had sent a few documents that needed to be translated.Hence, Luca and Alya started dividing the workload.
Alya took the initiative to take up a larger workload.
Luca did not say a word. She was just meant to substitute the translator from the start, so now that Alyawas back, it was only normal that she take up a larger workload.
If it was not because she had to follow up with other tasks and was very busy at the moment, shewould have directly gone back to the research laboratory downstairs. No one would have commentedanything about it.
Luca picked up the documents and walked back to her office.
Alya saw her figure that was leaving and said with a sigh, "It's good to have your own office."
Tina, who was sitting in front of her, heard it. She said with a smile, "Alya, do you think our secretary'soffice isn't good enough?"
Alya did not expect Tina to reply to her in this way. 'Everyone has been saying that Luca had someconnections. Otherwise, how could she be given special treatment?'
She did not believe that Tina was not aware of it. She lifted her head to look at the person in front ofher, shook her head, and said, "It's nice. I find that this floor is much better than the office downstairs."
"Then why do you keep sighing? Alya, it's more important to do your work properly," Tina warned softly.
The matter regarding Luke and Luca was not something ordinary employees like them could talk about.
Besides, it was only normal for Luca to receive special treatment as she was indeed very capable.
After all, Tina had witnessed with her own eyes how Luca did not need to use translation software orlook things up on the internet to translate a document related to architectural design.
There were lots of professional terms in the document too.
Back when she just started this career, she was unable to translate those terms but Luca was familiarwith those professional terms and was able to translate them quickly.
No translator, who had just gotten involved in the architectural field, would be able to achieve such afeat.
Not only had Luca mastered many languages, but she also had medical knowledge, researchedmedicine, and knew about architectural design...
Alya understood what Tina was trying to say and smiled awkwardly. "I just said it casually. Don't take itto heart."
Tina did not say another word.
Luca had invited lots of trouble. Not long after she started working in Watson Biopharmaceuticals, shestarted receiving special treatment. Hence, others began to feel jealous of her. It was fairly normal.
Tina took a sip of her coffee and was thinking about whether she should give Luca a reminder.novelbin
However, Luca would only be working on this project for another half a month at most. When theproject ended, she would probably return downstairs and take charge of the work in the laboratory.
She heard from Zoey that the research downstairs was about to be completed. If it was not becauseLuca was sent upstairs, their research would have been completed long ago.
Tina thought for a moment and decided not to say a word.
Luca was smart. She would be able to sense some things even without needing people to point themout to her.
After Luca left the secretary's office, she returned to her office and was busy until the evening.
When it was approaching after working hours, she received a call from Abel.
"Take some time tonight and come to a place. I'll send you the address later," Abel said and did not tellher the location. He just ordered her to show up.
Luca frowned, not knowing where he wanted her to go.
"Where do you want me to go?" she asked.
"You have no right to ask. All you have to do is bring along Dr. Albus' research paper.” After Abel saidthat, he hung up the call.
'Dr. Albus' research.'
Luca opened her mailbox and instantly understood the situation. Abel had started making his move.
She kept her documents that were printed and placed them in a folder.
This was Abel's order. It meant that he had gotten everything prepared and was going to make herbetray Luke bit by bit.
Luca sighed. Just then, she received an email.
The time and location were stated in the email.
The location was relatively remote. Luca frowned as Abel was asking her to go over at such an earlyhour.
The kids would still be awake, but the maid would have already ended her shift.
Even if the kids were already asleep by then, she could not leave the house. After all, it would not besafe to leave them alone at home.
Luca thought through it and decided that she could not make the maid work overtime to look after thekids as Luke would eventually find out that she had gone out.
In the end, she thought of a person to help her out.
Luca gave Nina a call.
“Good afternoon, Luca," Nina answered the call, and her voice sounded very happy.
Luca sighed. Ever since Nina and Percy's misunderstanding was resolved, Nina's mood had beengetting better as the days passed.
"Nina, are you free tonight?" Luca asked. If it was not because Abel insisted on her going to thatlocation, she would not be troubling Nina to look after the kids.
"Tonight? Yeah, I'm free," Nina immediately answered without giving it a thought.
"Well, I'd like to ask you for a favor..." Luca was feeling embarrassed. After all, asking Nina to comeover to look after the kids would mean that she was taking away Nina's time with Percy.
"What happened? Just tell me. You don't have to hesitate." Nina knew that Luca must haveencountered a problem, which was why she thought of her.
Even though they had not known each other for long, Luca had helped Nina countless times. No matterwhat, Nina would gladly return the favor.
"Mr. Crawford is on a business trip for the next few days, and he left the kids to me. He told me to helplook after them. However, I need to head out for a moment tonight. I'm worried about leaving the threekids at home. I can't bring them out with me either. So, I'm calling to ask if you're free to help me lookafter the kids. It'll probably just take an hour." Luca had no choice but to ask for a favor from Nina.
"Look after the kids? Sure, no problem," Nina answered carefreely. Those three kids were Bianca'skids. She had a good relationship with the kids all this while. With the kids being so obedient, it wouldbe easy to look after them. Hence, Nina thought that it was not a problem.
"Thanks. I'll treat you to a meal next time." Luca let out a breath of relief when she heard Nina agree. Atleast, she had settled the issue with the kids.
"What time will you be going out tonight?" Nina asked.
"Nine o'clock," Luca answered. In the email, Abel wanted her to arrive at the location by ten o'clock.Hence, she needed to depart by nine.
"Then how about treating me to a meal tonight? I'll head over to your place after work," Nina saidimmediately. She would inform Percy about it as she would not be going back to save the hassle oftraveling back and forth.
"Alright, no problem. What do you want to eat?" Luca was fine with it and agreed.
"Anything is fine as long you're the one making it. I'll talk to you later. I have a customer here." AfterNina was done talking, she ended the call.
Luca placed her phone aside. When she planned to continue with her work, her phone vibrated. Shepicked it up and noticed it was a message from Luke.
He had safely landed at Hamilton. He was arranging for Allison to be admitted to a hospital.
Luca glanced at the message, and even after being in deep thought for some time, she still did notreply to the message.
