Chapter 2516
“Not at all. I just feel a little grumpy lately, and it seems like I've no patience for troublesome people andsituations," said Tina.
She knew that it was not the drug that made her like this. In fact, it was Amur.
Tina only asked Luca in an attempt to find an excuse unrelated to Amur so that she could feel less likea loser.
"There seems to be a problem with your liver. I'm guessing it's because of work." Luca knew that Tinawas making an excuse for her unusual behavior, so she gave her an excuse as well.
"Yeah." Tina lowered her gaze and smiled bitterly.
"Drink more water, and if you need it, I can prescribe you a dose of medicine. It's rather bitter though,so it's a little hard to have it regularly." Luca looked at her compassionately.
However, she knew that Tina did not need her compassion.
"I should just drink more water. I can't take anything bitter except for coffee," said Tina before shelooked at the time and stood up. "Dr. Craw, I should get back to work now. I'll go upstairs and do somepaperwork."
"Okay, I can help you if you're not feeling well, but you'll need someone professional for your mentalhealth." Luca stood up and sent her out.
"I'll consider it." Tina was rather helpless.
She knew how stressed society was these days. Everyone needed a therapist.
However, it was the first time she had ever been defeated by stress after working at T Corporation forso many years. Moreover, the stress did not come from work or life. It was because of love.
She had thought that her work had forged her to become invincible, but just because of Amur...
Amur, who never gave her a proper farewell or made any promise to her.
That made her feel defeated.novelbin
After Tina left, Luca sat on the office chair with her phone in her hand and fell into deep thought.
What could she do now that Amur had captured Tina's heart?
A few days later, good news came from Watson Biopharmaceuticals. The department in charge hadapplied for a patent for the drug formula and arranged a meeting with the FDA to talk about the marketprice.
Luca finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Abel never called during this period, nor did he give any instructions. The drug that everyone in WatsonBiopharmaceuticals had pinned their hope on had finally made it to the market.
Now that they had a patent, Abel could not do anything.
Luca breathed another sigh of relief upon seeing the messages in the group chat. It was not a dream; itwas the real thing.
[Mr, Crawford, the parent for the drug has been applied for, and a meeting with the FDA has beenarranged as well.] She picked up her phone and sent Luke a message.
A few seconds later, Luke replied to her: [I know. Look at the group chat.]
Luca opened the group chat and saw that the general manager had announced Luke's decision toopen up a lab on one of the floors to let the researchers do their research.
Luca felt a surge of excitement.
She went back to her chat with Luke. [Mr. Crawford, now that the project research is done, can mygroup and I go back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals now?]
Although she had gotten used to T Corporation, if she did not return to Watson Biopharmaceuticals,she would not be able to use the lab at all.
Luca looked at her phone screen and waited for Luke's reply.
In the president's office.
Luke looked at the phone screen in deep thought.
If Luca returned to Watson Biopharmaceuticals, they would not be able to see each other much. Theywould only see each other at home.
However, the new program was also for Luca's convenience. If she stayed at T Corporation, the newprogram would not be useful for her at all.
Luke replied: [Yes, when would you like to move? I'll contact the moving company.]
Luca replied: [Tomorrow, I'll notify the others and have them pack up their things.] She was in a rush touse the facilities back at Watson Biopharmaceuticals and further analyze the components of theantidote to develop a formula.
"Sure." Upon seeing how anxious she was, he knew he made the right decision.
He put down the phone and pressed the intercom to ask Jason to arrange things with the movingcompany.
Then, he let out a sigh.
Gordan, who was playing games heard the sigh, so he looked up and asked, "What's wrong?""Nothing." Luke opened a document.
"Luke, you never sigh. It must be a big deal for you to sigh. Let me guess, the several notifications yougot just now were about Dr. Craw?" Gordan started guessing presumptuously.
"She's moving back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals," said Luke.
"Oh, I see, and you don't want her to leave. Both of you live together anyway, and better days arecoming. Once the Island of Despair matter is resolved, things won't be bad. If outsiders find out that thepresident is so clingy to the point that you have to work together, will they believe it?" Gordan ridiculed.
Luke ignored his teasing.
"Don't ignore me." Gordan felt bored as he had been here for a few days.
This was the case every time. The conversation would just come to an abrupt end when Luke ignoredhim.
What a party pooper.
"If you're bored, the grandpas in the park will talk to you. If that's not enough, there are still grandmas,"said Luke with his eyes never leaving his document.
"Pfft, the grandpas and grandmas in the park are not as interesting as you," Gordan said shamelessly.
Luke closed the file and stared at him coldly.
Gordan shivered and hurriedly made a gesture around his mouth, signaling that he would no longertalk.
In the villa.
Aunt Neile was preparing the lunchbox.
Vivian saw that it was time to prepare lunch, so she went into the kitchen to help.
She saw that there were three large lunch boxes on the kitchen counter, so she asked the question thathad been lingering in her mind for days.
"Aunt Neile, are you preparing three lunch boxes again?" she asked in the local dialect.
"Yup. Ms. Vivian, let me do it. You're the guest, so go and rest," said Aunt Neile cheerfully.
Vivian wanted to ask further, but she did not know how to say it in the local dialect, so she opened upthe translation app on her phone to translate the words she wanted to say. "Aren't you making lunch forMr. Crawford and Luca? Why have you been making three lunch boxes these days?"
Aunt Neile explained, "Mr. Crawford said that there's a guest, so this is for the guest."
"I see." Aunt Neile's reply did not reassure Vivian. It made her puzzled instead.
How could there be a guest for several days in a row.
Although many people frequented a big company like T Corporation, dining together with a guest for afew days was a little strange.
Even if there was a guest, Luke would not be that reckless.
He would not have a guest eat from a lunch box.
