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 on could 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 them stamp 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 he zipped 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."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"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 could not 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 for a moment
and asked worriedly.
"Yes. I'm sure about that. I heard him showing off to someone else. He said he would put the sample into the
analysis equipment without anyone knowing it. As for your data report, I only left the lab for a few 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't hold 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'll need a new
researcher after firing Ambrose." Luca remembered that she should start working on a new research 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 them tomorrow
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. He asked, "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 everyone have to be
punished after doing something wrong?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"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'll have to
apologize to the person you hurt," answered Luca. She knew Tommy was asking her this because of Ambrose's
matter.
Tommy was not a child who did not know anything. He was able to figure out what happened by listening 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, and I'll try my
best not to make any mistakes. Also, I'll take the initiative to admit my mistake if I do something 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. You won't make any
mistakes if you're careful enough."
