Female Novel
Chapter 2496
"This is a long-term investment. I'm certain no one will object. Besides, it's about time for your researchto go public," Luke whispered in her ear. He was a little emotional.
Luca's research was well-received after several clinical trials.novelbin
The company's marketing department conducted a survey and found that if they priced it right, mostmedical institutions expressed interest in purchasing the drug in bulk for their patients.
As such, they did not have to worry that it would not sell.
Luca hummed softly. Her mind went blank as Luke approached her. "Mr. Crawford, are you sure youwant to do this?"
"Mm, this decision is right for the company's future." Luke pressed his lips on her neck.
Luca followed his movements and fell onto the bed. She went soft as she felt his tender and fierykisses.
As they rolled in the hay, no one noticed that Luca's phone lit up and then dimmed again.
The night was dark, and the fiery heat that went on in their room was in stark juxtaposition with the coldweather outside.
The next day.
Luca woke up feeling unwell, only to find that Luke was already up.
After she washed up, she picked up her phone to see an unread text.
The long number made her vigilant. The length of the number was like garbled characters. She glancedat the messy bed and lost the mood to clean up.
Luca turned her gaze back to her phone screen.
The text message was likely from someone on the Island of Despair.
Luca bit her lip and clicked on the text with her trembling fingers. It was the familiar garbled code. Aftershe quickly translated it, she understood the text that Abel sent. [Did you have a good New Year?]
Although it was a question, she saw through his ridicule and malicious intent...
Luca took a deep breath, her body still shaking uncontrollably. She glanced at the time and found thatAbel had sent her the text last night.
She was in bed with Luke at that time...
Fortunately, Abel did not call her when she did not reply. Otherwise, she would not know how to actcalm and natural if she had to answer the call in front of Luke.
Luca replied with a string of codes. She asked him what was the matter. She deleted the text after shesaw that it was sent successfully.
She looked at the mirror and found that her ruddy complexion from a second ago was no longer. Shehad turned pale and looked worried.
Luca sighed. Abel was a nightmare that would never go away. She could never be calm whenever shereceived texts or calls from him.
She gathered herself and walked out of the bedroom.
She went downstairs, and Luke was the only one in the living room because Vivian and the childrenhad not started school yet.
"Mr. Crawford, good morning." After Luca went closer to greet him, she sat down on the chair with hereyes looking down.
"Good morning." Luke noticed that the smile on her face contained some sense of dread. He could nothelp but frown and wondered if he went too far and too hard on her the previous night.
"Did you have a good rest last night?" He had to ask.
Luca looked like she got enough rest but had a forced smile on her face. Luke was a little concernedwhen he saw it and wanted to know what was going on.
"All good." Luca shook her head. She always slept well and did not need sleeping pills when he was byher side.
"What happened?" Luke continued to ask.
"It's alright, I'm just used to being on holiday. I think it'll just take some time to adapt to going back towork. " Luca smiled although she knew that it was her expression that betrayed her.
She could not pretend as if nothing happened in front of him
"You don't want to go back to work?" Luke continued to ask and acted like he believed her excuse.
He knew that Luca was not a slacker. She would not have prepared for work yesterday if she was notused to it as she said.
Something bad must have happened.
‘It's early in the morning. What could have happened?' While Luke probed, he did not let her know thathe was onto her.
Luca could never lie in front of him. He thought that it would be fine if he did not reveal what he knew.
"No, I don't know how to say it. Maybe it's because the drug is about to launch, so I feel a littlenervous," Luca said. She felt like she could give more details, so she continued talking, "I haven't beeninvolved in a launch for some time. I don't feel confident. I'm worried that something will happen."
"Nothing bad will happen," Luke said as he took a sip of his coffee. The coffee tasted good, but the oneprepared by Aunt Neile was not as good as the coffee made by Luca.
She went to bed late yesterday, so she woke up late today.
Luke would never ask her to get up early just because he wanted to drink the coffee she brewed.
He put down the coffee cup and said, "We're almost done with the listing documents. We just need tosubmit the final report and wait for the results."
"What happened to Dr. Albus is making me a little nervous," Luca said. She got worried thinking aboutthe drug.
Although part of the research came from Shanks, most of it was from her and the team's efforts.
She was concerned that Abel might ask her to hand over the formula so he could make a move onLuke's company.
'Does he plan on doing that after he texted me yesterday?'
Luca guessed so and became more and more uneasy. She wanted to call Abel immediately to ask himwhat he wanted to do.
The more anxious she was, the more control Abel had over her. She could not have him know toomuch about her.
"Dr. Albus is an exception. Don't worry." Luke felt her anxiousness, and his heart sank.
It seemed to be related to the Island of Despair.
The Island of Despair was behind what had happened to Dr. Albus. They wanted to hurt WatsonBiopharmaceuticals and have it affect T Corporation.
He had other things prepared so that the shareholders of T Corporation would not have anything to sayabout the matter.
"Yeah." Luca listened to his consolation but did not feel relieved this time.
'What's Abel's next move?'
After breakfast, the two left for work together.
They set off at the same time and went to T Corporation in Lliam's car. When they were about to get offthe car, Luke said, "Warren is already on standby in the company's parking lot. If you need to head out,let him know."
"Okay." Luca nodded and opened the door.
She glanced at the parking space not far away and sure enough, the familiar black car was parkedthere.
Luca thought that Warren would not show up since she went to work in Luke's car. Unexpectedly, hehad been waiting there for some time.
It was clear that Luke had become more cautious upon hearing about Matysh's return.
When they arrived at the elevator, Luca deliberately avoided walking toward Luke's private elevator.
Luke shook his head helplessly but did not say anything when he saw her walking toward the elevatorsfor ordinary employees. He walked straight into his private elevator.
One day, she would walk with him into this elevator and no one would gossip about them.
At that time, everyone would know that she was the wife of the CEO of T Corporation.
