Female Novel
Chapter 2683
Luca had never thought of making a big deal out of it.
Ambrose was wrong, but if the police officers got involved in this, the research she was working oncould be exposed.
Luca did not want to get into trouble when she had made it so far.
Rhett left with the employee termination letter. He had to head to the HR department and let themstamp the employee termination letter. Only then did he pass the letter to Ambrose.
Luca watched Rhett leave from behind. It was none of her business now. Hence, she said, “Tommy,let's go."
"Alright, Ms. Luca." Tommy heard her and put his exercise book back into his school bag. After hezipped his bag, he jumped off the chair and waved to Mo Stone. "Goodbye, Ms. Stone."
"Bye." Mo Stone smiled and waved back at him.
Mo Stone touched her face after she watched the two of them leave. She wondered if she looked old.
Why did Tommy address her in such a formal way?
Mo Stone could not help but ponder.
Luca left the office with Tommy. After they got into Warren's car, Luca asked him to send them home.
A few minutes later, Rhett called her. "Dr. Craw, I've already handed the letter to Ambrose."
"Okay. Did he say anything?" asked Luca.
"He seemed upset and frustrated," Rhett recalled the expression on Ambrose's face just now.Employees who got fired were usually dispirited, but the way Ambrose looked at him was like he couldnot wait to eat him alive.
"Okay. I got it," replied Luca.
"Are you sure he hasn't analyzed the sample? And he didn't read the report, right?" Luca pondered fora moment and asked worriedly.
"Yes. I'm sure about that. I heard him showing off to someone else. He said he would put the sampleinto the analysis equipment without anyone knowing it. As for your data report, I only left the lab for afew seconds before I returned. The report wasn't out yet at that time," explained Rhett.
"Alright." Luca pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you. Get off work early and get some rest."
"Don't mention it, Dr. Craw. You didn't blame me for not looking after the sample well, and you didn'thold me accountable for this. I'm grateful." Rhett panicked when Luca thanked him.
Luca could use this as an excuse to kick him out of the company as well.
However, she did not do that. She did not blame Rhett either. Rhett was grateful for that.
Now, Luca was even thanking him...
Rhett felt distraught at once.
“I need you to keep an eye on my samples in the lab after this. Also, tell the HR department that I'llneed a new researcher after firing Ambrose." Luca remembered that she should start working on a newresearch project.
Luca was planning to start the second project when she finished working on the antidote.
"Alright, Dr. Craw. The HR department has already gotten off work. I'll send an application to themtomorrow morning," promised Rhett.
"Okay. Get off work early after you're done with this." Luca ended the call after that.
Warren could sense something fishy listening to Luca's conversation on the phone while he drove. Heasked, "Ms. Luca, did something happen at the office?"
"It's nothing. There was something wrong with my employee, but it's been settled," answered Luca.She thought there was no need to let Luke know about Ambrose's matter.
It was not such a big deal.
What mattered the most was that Ambrose did not examine and analyze the sample.
He had no idea what Luca was working on.
After Warren drove home, Luca and Tommy got out of the car.
Tommy held Luca's hand and walked into the front yard. Then, he asked, "Ms. Luca, does everyonehave to be punished after doing something wrong?"
"Yes. That's how it works in this world. You have to take responsibility after doing something wrong."Luca looked at Tommy's face. The older the child got, the more he looked like Luke.
"What if it was an accident?" asked Tommy.
"Then you should be honest. Admit it if you've done something wrong and be responsible for it. You'llhave to apologize to the person you hurt," answered Luca. She knew Tommy was asking her thisbecause of Ambrose's matter.
Tommy was not a child who did not know anything. He was able to figure out what happened bylistening to what they said.
"Got it. I'm going to be like Daddy and Lanie in the future. I'll think thrice before doing something, andI'll try my best not to make any mistakes. Also, I'll take the initiative to admit my mistake if I dosomething wrong!" Tommy nodded.
He had seen Luca firing her employee today.
He knew Luca did not like people doing the wrong thing.
Tommy told himself that he should never become someone Luca hated!
Luca stroked the child's head. She smiled and said, "You're such a good boy. You're smart too. Youwon't make any mistakes if you're careful enough."
"Ms. Luca, I know I didn't do anything wrong when Mrs. Tuffey asked me what happened. I didn't bullythe girls as Charlie did. I didn't fight with him either. But Charlie's mother questioned me and I thought Iwas wrong at that time. I'm glad you protected me." Tommy leaned on Luca's arm, expressing hisaffection.
"Actually, I'm not the only one protecting you. Your father is also protecting you. He was the one whoasked Mr. Zac to send the lawyer's letter to Charlie's parents. Otherwise, today..." Luca paused for amoment. She was glad that Luke backed her up.
She thought he was busy dealing with Matysh's matter. That was why he had no time to deal withCharlie's parents.
Luca did not expect that he would look into their background and ask Mr. Zac to deliver the lawyer'sletter to them.
That was why they did not put her in a difficult situation today.
“Daddy has always been protecting us. Now, he's protecting you too,” said Tommy with a smile on hisface.
The two of them walked into the house. Lanie and Rainie were already back home since they hadfinished school. They were sitting on the sofa, eating the fruits Aunt Neile cut for them.
Aunt Neile saw Tommy and Luca come in. She smiled and said, "I was wondering why Young MasterTommy didn't come home with Young Master Lanie and Ms. Rainie. It turns out that you went to pickhim up."
"Yes. They finished school after the parent-teacher conference ended. I left with Tommy, but somethingcame up at the office. I had to return to the office to deal with it. That's why I came home late.” Lucaglanced at the time. Even though she came home late, fortunately, it did not keep her from anything.novelbin
"I've just cut the fruits. Have some. I'm going to prepare tonight's dinner now." Aunt Neile walked intothe kitchen after that.
Luca glanced at the fruit platter. They were the kids' favorite fruits. She reminded them, "Eat your fruitsand head upstairs to finish your homework."
"Okay, Ms. Luca," the three kids replied at the same time.
Luca made her way up the stairs. She brought the sample Ambrose stole from her back home.
Luca was still worried about it. She planned to place the sample in the equipment in the villa and see ifit could analyze it.
Luca walked into the study. She had told Aunt Neile not to touch this room. Hence, there was a layer ofdust on the equipment after not using it for a while.
Ever since Luke said that the employees were allowed to use the company's laboratory for researchpurposes, she hardly stepped into the study.
Luca took a few sheets of tissue paper and wiped the equipment. Then, she sat on the chair and beganto analyze the sample.
