Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

“There will be another announcement at the conclusion of the investigation, right?” Luca did not say that she knew

who was behind it. Instead, she only said that she was not curious.

She knew that curiosity killed the cat.

Jason smiled as he listened to her explanation. He came to her office to find out what she knew, but it seemed that

he did not find anything interesting.

“You’re right. We’ll definitely publish the findings once the investigation is complete,” he said.

Luca nodded. “Mm. That’s why I don’t need to make any baseless guesses now.”

Jason smiled. He felt his phone vibrate, so he took it out and glanced at the screen. “Alright, Dr. Craw, I won’t take

up any more of your time.”

“Take care.” As Luca watched Jason leave, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

He must have been testing her…

Luca closed the office door behind her and went to the laboratory to continue her research.

…

Back at Watson Biopharmaceuticals, Cole was exasperated when he read the announcement. The security guard

that was caught was his cousin’s son.

He did not expect that the security guard would break so easily under interrogation. Even though the security guard

did not implicate him in the incident, he had a feeling that Jason would be knocking on his door very soon.

After all, they already knew that the security guard was his relative.

Cole kneaded his hands together worriedly. He thought of contacting the security guard, but the security guard was

currently detained in the police station. Even if he were to visit him there, they would not have the chance to talk in

private.

“How unlucky!” He cursed under his breath. He thought he could get rid of Luca, but instead, Luca had benefited

from his ploy while he had to be kept on tenterhooks.

Cole waited for Talia to appear in his office, but she did not come. He dialed Talia’s number on the internal line, but

Mo picked up the call instead.

He frowned and asked sternly, “Ms. Stone, where is Talia Sullivan?”

“Ms. Sullivan said that she has an upset stomach, so she’s in the washroom now. Are you looking for her? Should I

go to the bathroom and let her know?” Mo sounded calm, as though she was concentrating on digging some new

gossip.

Cole had rarely gone to the laboratory in the past two days. Instead, he had been brooding in his office. Talia did not

go to the laboratory too, and she had often gone into Cole’s office.

“It’s fine. When she returns, tell her to come to my office,” Cole said.

The entire Technical Department was busy at work, so that they could be the next one to move into T Corporation.

Only Cole’s team did not make any progress.

“Alright,” Mo replied.

After she hung up, she sat on her chair and waited. Five minutes later, Talia came into the office with a pale face.

“What’s wrong, Talia? You don’t look too good,” Mo asked out of concern.

Talia took a few deep breaths while gently grasping her chest. “I threw up in the toilet. I think it’s because I ate

something wrong this morning.”

“You threw up?” Mo suddenly thought of something. She shot a glance at Talia’s flat stomach. “We can’t really say if

it’s serious, but you’ve not been feeling well for the past two days. Why don’t you take the rest of the day off and

pay a visit to the doctor?”

Talia shook her head. She could not afford to be away from the office at this critical juncture.

She was afraid that Cole might backstab her when she was not around…

“It’s fine. I’ve always had stomach problems. I’ll just need to rest for a bit,” Talia said as she sat down on her chair.

“Everyone in the department seems to be so busy lately. I don’t think I can bring myself to tell Dr. Kidman that I

want to take the day off.”

When Mo heard that, she said, “Right, Dr. Kidman was looking for you earlier, and it seems to be something urgent.

You should go to his office now. He didn’t sound very patient either.”

She deliberately told Talia more in an attempt to befriend Talia.

Talia knew why Cole was in a bad mood. The security guard that had helped them was arrested, and the two of

them were in a precarious position.

Even so, she smiled gratefully at Mo. “Thanks for your reminder. I should go now.”

Mo waved her hand. “Take care.”

After Talia left, Mo was left alone in the office. She leaned back on her chair and narrowed her gaze.

Things were getting interesting. Did Cole and Talia plan the incident?

Mo changed a sitting pose and nodded to herself. She had a strong feeling that her guess was correct.

She knew that Cole was a chauvinistic man, and he could not bear to see Luca outperform him.

On the other hand, Talia seemed to be quite friendly to Luca at first. However, Mo heard the rumor that Talia had

approached Luca to be her assistant, but Luca had rejected her.

Perhaps that was why Talia hated Luca.

If the two people shared the same goal, it was not too hard to come up with a plan…

Mo smiled and shook her head. She had always kept a low profile in the office, but she knew more about office

politics than anyone else. Rather than collaborators, Talia seemed to be more like Cole’s pawn in his plan.

As for Talia’s stomach…

Mo could tell that Talia was showing symptoms of pregnancy. She also knew about the illicit interactions between

Talia and Cole.

She heard that Cole had been married to his wife for many years, but his wife had poor health, and they never had

any children.

Cole was already enjoying a successful career. Mo was sure that he wanted a child very much.

Would Talia’s child be able to save Talia?

Mo twirled a loose strand of hair with her finger. She smiled in anticipation of what was to come.

Talia quickly walked to Cole’s office. She knew that Cole’s tolerance toward her was getting lower and lower, and

she dared to make him wait.

When she arrived at the door, she could feel that her heart was beating very fast, and her head was spinning.

Talia took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Cole said. Talia opened the door and went inside.

“Dr. Kidman,” Talia said while taking deep breaths. Cole was smoking in his office, and the stench of tobacco made

her choke.

She dared not complain when she saw Cole’s face.

“Close the door and sit down.” Cole was not sympathetic to her even though her face was pale. He thought that she

was pretending.

Talia took another deep breath, closed the door, and sat opposite him. “I know you have something to tell me, Dr.

Kidman. Just say it.”
