Chapter 2681 I’d Like To Learn A Lot More From You

Luca hurried to the laboratory. She realized Rhett was standing right behind the laboratory's door.

He was blocking the door, stopping others from going out.

“What's the matter?” Luca asked in a deep voice.

Rhett told her what had happened on the phone, but Luca wanted Rhett to tell her about it in front

of the researchers.

“Dr. Craw, Ambrose took your sample.” There was this sullen look on Rhett's face.

It was obvious that he was angry.

Previously, Luca had warned them not to look at her research data. Not only did they refuse to listen

to her, but they also tried to make him talk.

Rhett then found out that they were trying to steal the sample in the equipment and keep them for

themselves when he was about to leave the laboratory.

They did not say anything until the experiment report was out.

If it were not for Rhett who returned to the laboratory and overheard them discussing where they

should hide Luca's sample, he would not have known.

Rhett knew they had stolen the sample. He walked into the laboratory and argued with them. At

last, he blocked the door and called Luca to inform her about this.

Stealing a sample from the laboratory was a serious thing.

It was Luca's research. They had already broken the company's rules by stealing the sample.

Luca turned to look at Ambrose and asked, “Did you take the sample?”

“Dr. Craw, Mr. Link misunderstood us.” Ambrose tried to get away with it.

Rhett refused to give him the chance to do so. “Really? Why don't you open that box and show it to

Dr. Craw?”

Rhett wanted to open the box and see if they really put the sample in it when they were arguing just

now.

Who knew that they would refuse?

Rhett had no choice but to inform Luca.

"Rhett, we're colleagues. How could you accuse me of doing something I didn't do?!" Ambrose got

nervous. If Luca forced him to open the box, he would be exposed.

He would even lose his job.

Rhett remained quiet. He believed Luca would do the right thing.

Besides, he had not done anything that broke the company’s rules or was against Luca's orders.

Rhett was innocent. He stood up straight.

"Open the box and let's see if you've been wronged. The company has rules and regulations. Take

out whatever is in that box to prove that you're innocent.” Luca lifted her jaw, signaling him to

unlock the box.

Ambrose’s fingers were slightly curled. Every gesture he made revealed that he was reluctant to do

50.

Luca's eyes darkened as she asked, “Do you need me to ask Dr. Jackson to come here and deal with

this?”

Dr. Jackson was in Dr. Cole and Dr. Albus’ previous position now. It was easy for him to deal with

matters that happened between departments.

“Dr. Craw, I'm sorry.” Ambrose lowered his head and apologized to her. He admitted that he had

done something wrong.

“Open the box.” Even though Ambrose had already admitted it, Luca insisted on asking him to open

the box as her face hardened.

Ambrose closed his eyes. He unlocked the lock box with the combination key while his hand

trembled with fear.

Luca walked into the laboratory without any expression on her face. There were some documents

and papers in the box and a small test tube with the medicine sample.

“Is this mine?” Luca picked it up and asked.

Ambrose did not say anything. He lowered his head.

Luca noticed that Ambrose’s body was shaking from time to time. “I know what I'm experimenting

with. I can find out right away to see if it's mine. But I'm asking you now to save everyone's time. Tell

me, is this my sample?”

“Yes, Dr. Craw. I was just curious about what research you're working on.” Ambrose lowered his

head. It was his first time getting questioned like this after he graduated.

It was as though he was back in his school days and the teacher was questioning him when he did

something wrong.

Moreover, he looked frightened.

Even though Luca looked weak, she was tough and strong. There was no way he could stand such a

powerful aura. Hence, he had no choice but to admit it.

Ambrose was angry and helpless at the same time being questioned like that at work. He could only

show his deepest fears in front of Luca.

"I've mentioned before that I won't be interested in the research that you guys do. As such, none of

you should be curious about my research either, especially when it's not been revealed to the public

yet. Do you remember that?" Luca asked him in a low voice. She looked at the man who was a few

inches taller than her trembling with fear.

Luca felt sorry for him.

Ambrose was doing well in his research. He was detail-oriented and a fast worker too.

However, she could not let someone who was curious about someone else's research to stay in the

company.

Since he had the guts to steal her sample now, he might even reveal the confidential information of

their research team to others in the future.

Although he did not reveal anything to the former general manager previously, it was hard to

guarantee that such a person would not betray her and sell the research to someone else.

Luca could not take the risk.

Moreover, she did not know whether or not Ambrose was sent by Abel.

If he was and he knew that she was working on the antidote, then things would get out of hand.

Luca knew the difficult position she was in now. She had to be extra careful. Then, she said strictly

when Ambrose kept silent. "Do you still remember what I told you?!"

It sent a shiver down his spine.

It was just a job. He did not know why he was so frightened.

He could feel that he was almost out of breath with Luca's aura pressuring him.

She was just a woman.

Ambrose wanted to stand up for himself, but he chose to give in to Luca when considering how

aggressive she was being. He replied cowardly, "Yes."

The researchers around them did not expect Luca, who had always been easygoing, to be so scary

when she lost her temper.

They were even reminded of Luke.

Luca's powerful aura made them worried that what Ambrose did would affect them too.

After all, researchers could be found anywhere in the city. Luca did not necessarily have to work with

them.

However, they had never thought of resigning, not to mention quitting the job.

Their resumes would be nothing if they got fired. They would end up like Ambrose. If Luca fired

them, no biopharmaceutical companies would be willing to hire them.

Who would want an employee who stole their superior’s research sample?

“Then why are you curious about my research? Is there a need for you to go as far as stealing my

sample?” Luca picked up the test tube and swung it in front of him.

Ambrose remained quiet.

Luca thought Ambrose might be more frightened if she approached him. She took a step back and

questioned him, "Could it be that someone sent you here to find out what research I'm working on

so that the person can get a head start on this research before I do? Who were you planning on

giving the sample to?"

“No, Dr. Craw. I'm not a spy!” Ambrose immediately shook his head.

“You're not?” Luca could not find out whether or not Ambrose was telling the truth. She only knew

that he tried to steal her sample.

“I was just curious about it. I've been wondering what's in the test tube. I was planning to put it in

the equipment and find out what it is tomorrow. It's because I'd like to learn a lot more from you,”

said Ambrose as a tear fell down his cheek.
