For someone like Gordan who usually wore a smile on his face to conceal his feelings, it would be harder to find out
what was in his mind.
“Mr. Link, let's go back to the office," said Luca. She wanted to continue arranging the documents before the
meeting started.
The documents should be categorized well.
The two of them returned to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.
Luca saw the general manager standing outside her office door. She raised her brows and noticed that his hand
was resting on the doorknob of the door.
"General Manager, are you looking for me?" Luca walked toward him and stopped him when he was about to push
the door open and enter the office.
The general manager was surprised when a voice suddenly rang out. He unconsciously turned the doorknob, but
the door was locked.
The expression on his face changed. He turned around and looked at Luca with a smile on his face. "Dr. Craw,
where have you been? I've been knocking on the door but no one answered."
"I went out for lunch just now. General Manager, is there anything I can help you with?" Luca asked. She locked the
door when she went out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHence, there was no way the manager could enter the office unless he broke the door.
"So that's why no one answered no matter how hard I knocked on it," replied the general manager. There was a
hint of awkwardness in the embarrassed smile on his face as though he had been caught red-handed.
"There's still time before the meeting. General Manager, why are you looking for me?" It was the third time Luca
repeated the same question. She was forcing him to find an excuse for his suspicious behavior.
"Oh, yes, I heard you've just moved back here. I thought of coming here to say hello." The general manager
realized if he did not give Luca an explanation, she would not let him go easily. Hence, he came up with an excuse
to brush her off.
"That's very kind of you. Don't we have a meeting to attend later? I'll see you there, General Manager." Luca took
her keys out and opened the door as she replied.
"Ah, okay..." The general manager knew his plan had failed. He left with embarrassment.
Rhett followed Luca into the office. After they got out of the general manager's sight, Rhett could not help but
mutter, “Could it be that the general manager hasn't given up the thought of looking at the documents?"
Luca headed to her office desk. The office here wasn't as good as the one in T Corporation. The desk was smaller,
and there was no sofa either.
She could only lean forward on the desk and rest for a while during lunch break.
"Probably," replied Luca.
"We've already applied for the patent for our drug research. There's nothing he can do even if he sees those
documents..." Before Rhett could finish his words, he immediately shut his mouth. In hindsight, he realized he was
unconsciously thinking that the general manager must be up to no good for wanting to secretly read the research
data.
"Let's talk about it later. Hurry up and find your two boxes. Let's tidy up a little. Then we'll attend the meeting." Luca
urged him.
Luca quietly thought about the general manager.
She had hinted to Luke that something was wrong with the general manager before, but Luke had yet to handle this
matter.
Hence, Luca was sure that Luke was trying to lure the mastermind behind the general manager.
The mastermind was probably not Abel, so who could it be?
Could it be Pierre Mallory?
Luca pondered for a moment. She carried another box and was about to unseal it, only to realize there was a
remark left by Rhett on the box. Then, she said, "Mr. Link, it's your box."
"Thank you, Dr. Craw." Rhett took the box from her and put it aside. He had only placed two boxes here. There was
only one left.
"Dr. Craw, it's fortunate that you locked the door," said Rhett.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Although the drug launching is a done deal, these documents are confidential. If the information gets leaked,
someone can change the formula and dosage to pass it off as their own research. That's why we need to be
careful," said Luca. The general manager had no access to this floor, so she wondered if someone forgot to close
the door or if someone had intentionally let him in.
"Dr. Craw, that's very attentive of you," exclaimed Rhett. After he found the second box, he placed it on the first
one and carried the two boxes. He said, "Dr. Craw, I'm going back to my office."
"Okay." Luca nodded.
Watson Biopharmaceuticals had recruited new employees not too long ago. Luca heard that a new professor would
be joining them in two days. She could not be bothered by it. After all, all she had to do was to do her job.
Luca arrived at the meeting room at 2:30 sharp in the afternoon.
Since Luca's newly developed drug was about to be launched on the market, there were people in the company
extolling her for doing such a great job. Luca was not used to it. Thus, she chose to enter the meeting room on time
so that the other professors would not take the chance to talk to her.
"Dr. Craw, you're here." Although Luca arrived at the meeting room on time, the general manager was not there
yet. Hence, there were still people who greeted her.
Luca nodded and smiled at them. Then, she sat on the seat next to the corner.
“Dr. Craw, why are you still sitting there? It used to be Dr. Albus' seat. And no one's sitting here either. Come over
and sit here," said Dr. Jackson.
Luca glanced at the empty seat. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'm fine sitting here."
