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

"It's on the fifth floor,” replied Rhett as he pressed the button heading toward the fifth floor.

Luca nodded and watched the number that gradually went up as the elevator rose.

Rhett asked, “Dr. Craw, have you reviewed the report yet?”

“I did. But I think something's missing. I'd like to request more funds for this project. We have to hold a meeting

next Monday,” answered Luca. She did not intend to discuss work with Rhett now. However, she decided to go

along with it since he brought it up.

"Sure." Rhett nodded. Mo Stone was more familiar with the paperwork. He knew it would be much easier for Luca

with him and Mo Stone helping her.

Ding. The elevator door slowly opened when it arrived on the fifth floor.

Luca stepped out of the elevator, and Rhett led her to the left. "Gabriella Hall.”

"Alright.” Luca followed Rhett into the banquet hall.

Many employees were already seated.

Someone noticed Luca's arrival and said, "Dr. Craw is here.”

It caught everyone's attention, and they turned to look at Luca.

Dr. Jackson walked toward Luca with a smile on his face and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Dr. Craw.”

"Thank you, but this is the product of everyone"s efforts.” Luca felt uncomfortable with all the attention that was

given to her. However, it reminded her that the attention she received was much more than that when she stood

next to Luke last time.

If she could pull it through last time, she would be able to deal with it now since she was just an employee of

Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Hence, Luca held her head high and stood straight, trying to show her humbleness as their gazes fell on her.

"Dr. Craw, where's your seat? Do you need me to take you there?" asked Dr. Jackson. Watsons had yet to find a

replacement for the position of general manager. Moreover, the research department was the company's most

important department. Dr. Jackson had taken over Dr. Cole's position. Therefore, he had the same position as the

previous general manager.

That was why he was particularly concerned about the dinner tonight.

"It's okay, Dr. Jackson. Rhett and I will sit over there." Luca declined his offer.

"Alright." Dr. Jackson had nothing more to say.

Luca walked in front of Rhett, while Rhett followed beside her.

Luca sat down at the front table. Rhett sat with other researchers at the table beside her.

Other professors were present too.

"Good evening, professors," Luca greeted them. She did not address them one by one since there were many of

them there.

"Dr. Craw, you look beautiful tonight," Dr. Linwood replied first.

He heard that Dr. Craw was already preparing for a new research project. It made those who were still working on

the first project envious of her.

However, their research progress was indeed slower than the others. Even though Dr. Linwood was jealous of her,

he did not say anything rude to her to prevent himself from losing his grace.

"Thank you." Luca graciously accepted his compliment.

"Dr. Linwood, you're right. Not only does Dr. Craw looks pretty, but she's also knowledgeable. There's no need to

doubt her expertise in this field." Another professor went along with it.

Luca gave him a faint smile. She had already expected to hear such flattering remarks at an event like this. After

all, it was the company's dinner.

However, these professors were her seniors. They spoke with discretion, and they would not embarrass Luca even

though they were jealous of her.

"Well, I already knew that Dr. Craw was a talent. Look how accurate my prediction was. Not only did she complete

the project and bring huge profits to the company, but she's also starting her second research soon. That's

impressive," Dr. Linwood said with a smile on his face. "Dr. Craw, I heard that you're going to request funding for

your second project. We're all curious about it. What is it about?"

Luca did not try to hide anything. She replied, "It's a drug to treat liver disease."

"Liver disease?" Dr. Linwood glanced at other professors before he turned around and looked at Luca. "Even though

the chances of getting liver or kidney disease has increased due to modern lifestyle and work pressure, the drug for

this research isn't as highly utilized as your first research."

Luca nodded.

When Abel asked her to take two research projects from Shanks, Luca chose the drug for cancer as the first one

and the second one was the drug for liver disease.

Her beloved foster father, Kevin Rayne, passed away because of an unhealthy liver.

If he had taken the drug that Shanks developed in the early stages of his liver disease, he might not have died at

such a young age.

Therefore, Luca did not even hesitate for a second. She chose to work on the drug for liver disease.

"But still..." Dr. Linwood could not understand her. He thought Luca would aim higher for her research. "Are you

studying rare liver diseases?"

"No, I just think that any drug that can benefit patients is a good drug. I've been studying this since college. That's

why I really want to develop the drug," explained Luca.

"Dr. Craw is right. Drugs that can treat patients are good medicine." Another professor agreed to it.

"True." Dr. Linwood stopped being surprised and said, "Any drug that's beneficial to patients is also an innovative

drug, even if it's used to treat a cold."
