Chapter 2726
Luca heard that and turned to look at the stage.
Indeed, under Mo Stone's arrangement, the employees of the PR department walked toward the stagewith the microphone in their hands.
They held the scripts and started giving speeches.
As Luca listened to their speeches, she suddenly asked Luke, "Mr. Crawford, will you be delivering aspeech?"
"I don't have to," replied Luke. There was a section arranged for him to give a speech, but he had itcanceled.
After all, Luca was the brightest star of the show tonight.
"I don't want to give a speech either," replied Luca as she expressed her thoughts.
She hoped that Luke could cancel it.
Dr. Linwood, who sat beside them, could not help but secretly guess that something was going onbetween Luca and Luke. Otherwise, how would Luca dare to say something like that?novelbin
"Alright," replied Luke. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Mo Stone.
Mo Stone felt a vibration in her hand when she was holding her phone. Then, she glanced at it andrealized she received a message from Luke. She immediately informed those who were beside her,"Cancel Dr. Craw's speech. Proceed to the award ceremony."
"Huh? Why?" The PR staff beside her was confused. Was the program not planned earlier?
"I'm just following instructions. Hurry up," urged Mo Stone when she noticed that the emcee on stagewas about to finish giving his speech.
The PR staff immediately used their backstage communication system to communicate with the emceeon stage. After they saw the emcee making an 'OK' gesture, they let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, theprogram is canceled."
"Okay. Just proceed with the award ceremony." Mo Stone also let out a sigh of relief. Although she hadno idea why Luke suddenly canceled it, she only knew that she was doing what her boss had instructedher to do.
Mo Stone turned and looked at the table where Luca was seated, lost in thoughts.
"Ms. Stone, please make sure that you've confirmed the programs of the event in advance. We're luckyenough to make it in time. Otherwise, something could've gone wrong," the employee could not helpbut complain. They knew that Luke would be coming to the event this time. That was why the
employees of the PR department considered it a top priority.
Even though their company was not as large as T Corporation, they would not want to make anymistakes in front of Luke.
Mo Stone's sudden change in the programs almost caused them to fall behind schedule.
"I'm sorry." There was nothing Mo Stone could say as it was Luke's decision. She had no choice but toquietly endure it. Then, she picked up her phone and sent Luke a message, telling him that it had beencanceled.
Luke put down his phone and said to Luca, "It's been canceled."
"Thank you," Luca replied in a soft voice. Dr. Linwood felt even more surprised when he heard theirconversation.
Luke listened to what Luca said. His affection for her was probably one of a kind...
Were all the rumors he had heard before true?
Was Luke really keeping Luca as his mistress?
After the emcee finished reading the script, he skipped Luca's speech section and proceeded to thenext program, which was the award ceremony.
The award ceremony was held to award Luca and her team of researchers with bonuses andcertificates for their achievement.
Rhett walked toward Luca and invited her. "Dr. Craw, it's time to go on stage."
"Okay." Luca picked up a napkin and gently wiped her mouth. Then, she rose to her feet and went onstage with them.
Luca was the leader of the team. That was why she was asked to stand in the center of the stage,surrounded by other researchers and Rhett.
Luca looked at the people below the stage. They were all looking at her.
There were gazes of admiration and also jealousy.
When the emcee took out a giant award presentation check, the envious look on their faces grew evenstronger. The generous amount of bonus given to them was equivalent to a few months of the pay theyreceived....
After the award ceremony, they were about to leave the stage. Just then a voice came out of nowhere."Dr. Craw, how could you take part in the award ceremony without me?"
Everyone turned around and saw a man in a hotel waiter's uniform walking toward the stage.
"It's Ambrose." Rhett, who stood next to Luca, immediately recognized the man. It was the dismissedemployee, Ambrose.
"What is he doing here?" Another researcher wondered.
Luca remained silent as she looked at Ambrose. It seemed like he came looking for trouble.
“Let's get off the stage." Rhett noticed Luca's face darkened. He immediately told the others to get offthe stage.
The others nodded. When they started getting off the stage, Ambrose suddenly yelled at them. "What'sthe rush? We were colleagues. Why can't you all wait for me? Do you have something to hide?"
"Ambrose, stop it." One of the researchers who was closer to him could not help but advise him.
Ambrose had asked him about the venue and time of the dinner before.
The researcher did not see this coming. He thought Ambrose regretted what he did. That was why hetold him.
He did not expect Ambrose to cause any trouble.
Ambrose looked at the large check in front of him as though he did not hear what he said. Even thoughhis share of the bonus had been deposited into his bank account, the resentment in his heart kept ongrowing. He came here to demand an explanation today.
Ambrose gazed intently at Luca and Rhett, his eyes full of hatred.
If it were not for Rhett, who reported him, and Luca dismissing him despite all the efforts he had putinto the previous research, he would not have ended up like this.
Now, the other pharmaceutical companies would reject him as soon as they saw his record and foundout what he did.
Luca's actions might seem insignificant, but they made him blacklisted in the industry.
Ambrose knew there was no way he could continue to work in the pharmaceutical industry. All he knewwas researching and studying drugs. How could he pursue a different career?!
Therefore, Ambrose's resentment grew stronger.
Luca and the others got off the stage, ready to ignore Ambrose, who was walking toward them. Theywanted to return to their seats, but Ambrose rushed toward her and took a bottle out of his pocket. Heopened it and splashed it on Luca.
"Watch out, Dr. Craw!" Rhett exclaimed with surprise.
Ambrose targeted Luca, and he wanted to splash the liquid in the bottle on her.
The moment Rhett called out for Luca, she immediately pushed Rhett away and jumped swiftly,dodging to the right and avoiding the attack.
"Ah, my hand!" Someone who stood next to Luca got splashed by some of the liquid. He immediatelyscreamed in pain.
The liquid did not reach Luca and spilled on the floor.
The carpet was immediately corroded. There were bubbles of yellow gas rising from it.
Luca found out that Ambrose was planning to splash the strong acid at her.
Ambrose had gone insane!
"Ambrose, how dare you?!" The researcher who was close to Ambrose saw his colleague's injuredhand. He immediately understood what had happened.
Ambrose stared angrily at Luca as though he did not hear what the others said to him. "Do you thinkyou can run away from me for the rest of your life? Luca Craw, you b*tch! How dare you fire me? I'lltake your life one day!"
"You don't stand a chance." Luca glanced at the researcher's injured hand and turned to look at Rhett.
Ambrose was targeting Luca and Rhett when he threw the bottle of acid at them. However, Luca wasfast. She pushed Rhett away and dodged the attack. That was why they were unharmed.
