“Sort of." Luca nodded and sat down on a chair.
When the other two researchers heard her, they started gathering around her. "Dr. Craw, you'rebrilliant. It's only been a while, but you've already got a sample. Is this the next research project for ourteam?"
"If it goes well, perhaps..." Luca was overwhelmed with questions. She knew that there would bepeople she recognized in the laboratory, but she did not expect them to be so curious.
"That's awesome!" The researcher exclaimed at how fast she was, so she continued to ask, "Dr. Craw,can you tell us what this research is about?"
"I'll have to keep that confidential for now. I don't have high hopes for this experiment either. You all canhurry up with your experiments. I believe that I'll be able to apply for a new research project soon, soeveryone will be busy by then," Luca hinted that they should seize the opportunity and time now asthey would be busy in the future.
The researchers looked at the liquid in the sample and said enviously, "Dr. Craw, if only we had asmany research ideas as you, then we would not have to sit here scratching our heads."
"Good luck, everyone," said Luca as she picked up a test tube that had been sterilized.
They were still standing there, so she told them, "I'm about to start my experiment, so you all shouldhurry up and think about what experiment you want to do too."
The researchers understood what she meant, so they nodded and returned to their seats.
After they left, Luca calmed down and began to do her research.
Luca did her research the entire morning. The researchers had already left for lunch break, but she stillhad not noticed the time.
That was until Rhett walked in.
"Dr. Craw, have you had lunch?" Rhett was surprised to see Luca, who was concentrating on herexperiment. Hence, he asked.
"Lunch?" Only then did Luca think of looking at the time. It was already half past 12.
"So, you haven't." Rhett said resignedly. If he had not received a call from Luke to come and ask herabout lunch, he was afraid that she would not even realize after lunchtime had passed.
"I was doing my experiment, so I didn't realize." Luca explained embarrassedly.
Rhett was speechless.
Luca glanced at the machine that was still operating and analyzing the composition of the drug. Sheput the rest of the samples away and said, "I'll go eat now."
Rhett nodded. "It's a good thing Mr. Crawford asked me to remind you. Otherwise, you would'vestarved."
"Mr. Crawford?" Luca was surprised. After stacking up all the files, she stood up while holding them inher arms. When she heard him say that, she realized that Luke was the one who told Rhett to remindher to eat.
"Mr. Crawford called me and told me to remind you to eat lunch," Rhett reported truthfully.
Luca could not suppress her smile as she walked out of the laboratory.
Luke knew her well. He knew that she had gotten used to being fed by him, so now that there was noone there to feed her, she would easily forget to eat.novelbin
After walking back to her office, Luca placed the samples in the mini refrigerator and placed the datafiles on the table before leaving.
Luca took the elevator downstairs and walked around the nearby restaurants.
She came down late, so the company's cafeteria would have run out of tasty dishes, which was whyshe chose to eat outside.
The only thing was that she came down at an awkward time, so the restaurants were overcrowded.Finding a seat was difficult enough, let alone a nice quiet spot.
Luca was not used to sharing a table with someone else either.
Just as she was about to go back and order takeout, Luca noticed a well-decorated high-endrestaurant.
The decor of the restaurant was rather lavish. Anyone could tell from the storefront alone that this placewas not cheap.
Due to the price, she could see through the floor-to-ceiling window that there were not many peopleinside.
Luca thought to herself that perhaps having some high-end food once in a while was not such a badidea.
With that, she pushed open the door of the high-end restaurant and walked in.
The waiter entertained her enthusiastically. Luca chose a seat in a corner as she preferred a peacefuland quiet environment.
After picking up the menu, Luca glanced at the price and saw that she was right.
Most of the office workers around here worked in companies that coveted the cheap rent of officebuildings here, so the salary at companies like those was not that high compared to others.
Therefore, they would only come to restaurants like these once in a while. If they were here every day,even if they got the cheapest item on the menu, their wallets would not be able to withstand it.
As a result, the restaurant was not crowded.
Luca ordered a set meal.
Then, the waiter went to place her order.
After waiting for almost 20 minutes, the waiter served the menu she ordered.
While Luca was eating her meal, the bell at the door rang as someone walked in.
The waiter standing at the door said enthusiastically, "Sir, Madam, welcome. Do you have areservation?"
“We don't have a reservation. Is there a private room here?" The woman's voice sounded.
“Sorry, our private rooms have been booked. If you would like to have some privacy, you can choose acorner seat," the waiter suggested.
Pierre looked gloomy and said impatiently, “Lead the way."
Luca, who was sitting in the corner, frowned at the sound of his voice. This voice... sounded familiar.
She looked up toward the door, and sure enough, it was Pierre.
The woman standing beside him.
Luca did not know who she was, but she could tell that she was not Pierre's ex-fiancée.
She heard that even after she sent Pierre to the hospital, the doctor could not find out what the causeof his pain was. They could only give him painkillers.
Rumors of Pierre having a disease or an addiction started to spread, and that was when he and hisfiancée of many years broke it off.
Luca knew that Pierre did not lack women in his life, but the woman standing next to him did not looklike she belonged on the streets.
The things she wore were not things one could afford by just gold-digging.
They followed the waiter's lead, and Pierre noticed Luca as well. He became manic as he recalled thehumiliation she had caused him before.
If not for her, he would not be forced by Madam Mallory to go on a date with a pretentious lady likeBelle.
He knew that a woman like Belle was suitable for marriage, but he did not like her.
Even if he did not get Nina, he still had plenty of women around him. All those women were flirty andsexy. Perhaps they were not as pretty as Belle, but their figures were a hundred times better and theyknew how to have fun.
Pierre saw that Luca noticed him, but he did not try to hide at all. Instead, he stared at herprovocatively, and his already gloomy face looked even worse.
