Chapter 2532 Had No Intention

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.

Hence, 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.

"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.”

Dr. Jackson did not say anything more seeing as Luca preferred to stay low.

The general manager pushed the door open and walked into the meeting room after Luca said that.

His gaze swept across the meeting room to check if everyone had arrived. “Everyone's here.

Professors, let's start the meeting.”

"Okay," the professors replied.

Luca looked at the meeting agenda and read through the contents.

The general manager sat on the chairpersons seat and looked at Luca, who sat in the corner. He

smiled and said, “Before we start the meeting, I'd like to congratulate Dr. Craw. The project that her

research team is working on is ready to launch.”

After that, he initiated applause.

The professors and assistants followed him and gave Luca a big round of applause.

Luca thought of staying low, but she did not expect the general manager to mention her before the

meeting started. She had no choice but to look around the meeting room, nodding and smiling at

everyone to thank them.

The general manager thought it was not enough. Therefore, he asked, “Dr. Craw, why don't you

come up here to give a speech?”

Luca sat on her chair with no intention of standing up. She shook her head and replied, “General

Manager, thank you, but I think we should start the meeting.”

The general manager did not expect Luca to reject him in front of the others.

He had no choice but to go along with what Luca said. He smiled and said, “In this case, let's start

the meeting.”

There were many things to be discussed during the meeting. After they were done discussing, it was

already a quarter past five in the evening.

It had been a long time since Luca had such a long meeting. She felt tired.

When she thought the meeting was ending soon, the general manager added, "Fellow professors,

here's one last thing. I received a call from the chancellor of Capital University yesterday. He'd like

us to recommend a professor to become a part-time lecturer at the university. I wonder if any

professor is interested in taking up the job. The pay is quite good, and you only have to teach a

course each semester. If the class is on Monday, you'll only have to teach on Mondays."

The professors exchanged glances with each other. Some of them had taught in their previous

colleges, and some were currently teaching at other universities. Hence, they had no intention of

going for the job.
