Luca shook her head and paused for a moment. Then, she shook her head again.
Ambrose looked at how strangely Luca was acting. He trembled with fear and dared not to say anything, waiting for
her judgment.
"Ambrose, you're wrong," Luca slowly uttered as she looked at the test tube in her hands. “If you'd like to learn
from me, you'd have many chances to learn from the next research project. You shouldn't have stolen my research
sample."
Ambrose could sense the sympathy in Luca's voice. He knew it was impossible for him to continue working here.
He was in despair.
He initially thought Luca would not find out about it and Rhett would destroy the sample after it was analyzed.
Hence, he took the sample and happily told the others that he would soon find out what Luca was working on.
He did not expect Rhett to overhear their conversation.
Ambrose did not know Rhett would return to the laboratory. Otherwise, he would not have shown off to his
colleagues that he had the research sample.
"Ms. Craw, I promise I won't do anything like that anymore. Please give me another chance." Ambrose could not be
bothered about other things now. He immediately knelt on the floor.
If Ambrose was fired, that would be the end of his career in the biopharmaceutical industry.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, Luca would have to tell the company why she decided to fire him.
His behavior was dangerous to all the professors who were working on their research. He would be regarded as the
kind of person who would sell confidential information to others.
Ambrose felt hopeless at the thought of his future life after getting fired.
What mattered the most to a researcher was that they had to be as clean as a whistle. Even if he was not sent to
the police station, he would still have a 'criminal record'.
"Ambrose, I can't hire someone I doubt. I can no longer keep you here. The other professors won't dare to make
you stay after you did something like that either. Pack your stuff. You don't have to come to work tomorrow," said
Luca. She turned to look at Rhett. "You know what to do, right?" "Dr. Craw, is that all you're going to do?" asked
Rhett. It was not that he was deliberately going against Ambrose, but they could call the police and let the police
handle this case.
"We're colleagues. There's no need to call the police. He's fired." Luca held her research sample tightly in her hands
and left the laboratory.
Ambrose knelt on the ground, staring blankly.
He knew there was nothing he could say to change Luca's mind. Still, was getting fired the only way to solve this?
Ambrose refused to believe he would end up like this.
He gave Rhett a piercing stare.
"Pack your stuff. You asked for it." Rhett could sense the hatred in his eyes, but he did not think he did anything
wrong.
He had to report to his superior about what Ambrose did no matter what. Moreover, it was Luca who asked him to
keep an eye on the sample.
If Ambrose did anything to take advantage of Luca's research, he would be the one bearing all the consequences if
he did not find out that Ambrose was the culprit.
Hence, Rhett did not feel sorry for Ambrose.
After that, Ambrose turned around and prepared to go through the dismissal procedures.
It was not up to them to dismiss him from work. Rhett needed to fill out the form and inform the HR department.
Rhett was worried that the employees working in the HR department were getting off work soon. Therefore, he
hurried back to his office and informed the HR department to ask someone to wait for him. Then, he headed
downstairs with the form in his hands.
In the laboratory.
One of the researchers patted Ambrose's shoulder. He knew about the matter.
Ambrose had tried to convince him to partner up with him to steal the sample.
However, he was worried that he might get into trouble, so he made up an excuse and rejected his invitation to
steal the sample together.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs a result, after Ambrose successfully stole the sample, he was so busy showing it off to him that Rhett overheard
their conversation.
"Buddy, don't hesitate to look for me if you need any help in the future," said the researcher. There was nothing he
could do about this.
After all, it was a serious matter.
Luca was kind enough not to call the police.
"Why did she fire me?" Ambrose clenched his fists. He was just curious about it. Besides, if everything went
smoothly, the research would become their team's research project sooner or later.
It was not like he was going to sell the sample...
Ambrose refused to accept it. He slowly began to suspect that Luca was taking a shot at him.
The researcher heard him say that and could no longer stand to see him that way. He reminded Ambrose, "It was
very kind of Dr. Craw not to call the police when you did such a thing."
Ambrose's eyes were red as he lifted his head and looked at him.
It gave the other researcher the willies when Ambrose stared at him like that. "Don't look at me like that. Honestly, I
told you not to do this. Look at what has happened now. Take care. Perhaps you can look for a smaller
biopharmaceutical company. You might be successful one day."
After that, Rhett walked into the laboratory with the letter of dismissal in his hands.
The two of them argued, and Rhett was disappointed with Ambrose for doing such a thing. He handed the
employee termination letter to him and said, "Sign it."
