Chapter 2724 She Was Beautiful

Dr. Linwood paused before realizing what he had just said, and immediately tried to explain himself,

“Dr. Craw, you had more chances of interacting with Mr. Crawford when you were working at T

Corporation, so I thought you would know.”

Luca forced a smile by lifting the corners of her mouth.

She did have more chances to interact with Luke, but she did not ask whether he was coming today.

He would come, right?

It was Watson Biopharmaceutical’s big day after all. As the boss, it was only right that he attended.

“I don't know,” said Luca.

“Hehehe.” Dr. Linwood smiled to ease the tension, but in reality, the professors there all thought

that Luca and Luke were having an affair.

“By the way, I remember that Mr. Crawford has mentioned that whoever's research enters the final

stage will move to T Corporation's office. I wonder if that's still true?” A research professor quickly

changed the subject.

“I don’t know. Working at T Corporation is great, but who would want to leave under the new

policy? The researchers under me voluntarily work overtime during the weekends just to use the

company's laboratory equipment to carry out their own research,” said another research professor.

In the past, they might have still wanted to work at T Corporation.

However, now that the laboratory was free for researchers to use, nobody would be willing to work

at T Corporation now.

That was because there was only one laboratory there, and that laboratory was provided solely for

one specific research project, so it was not open to other researchers.

“Yeah, and they all have goals they wish to achieve—even the ones who work under me. After

completing the research project, they'll find a way to go to the laboratory to mull over their own

research. Come to think of it, it must not be easy.” Dr. Linwood sighed.

The researchers were not qualified enough yet, so they could not lead an entire research team alone

like them.

Therefore, they wished to come up with their own creation and become research professors one day

too.

“Dr. Craw, I heard that your researchers spend every single day in that laboratory doing research.

Have they come up with any projects worth researching?” Dr. Linwood asked.

He heard all about it from his researchers, and when they were talking about Luca's researchers,

jealousy was written all over his face.

Not only did Luca's project get listed so soon, but her team even received a large bonus. They also

had so much extra time to do their own research.

Dr. Linwood was annoyed when he heard those remarks

Seeing how envious his researchers were, did that mean that they were not happy working for him?

He was known to be good-tempered and the easiest to talk to among the research professors!

However, the researchers were still envious of Luca's team. Dr. Linwood even had the urge to tell

them to transfer to the other team after hearing what they had to say.

Doing so would make him seem too petty, so he refrained from doing so.

“I've never asked about their projects because of confidentiality issues,” said Luca as she expressed

that she was never curious about what her researchers were doing, nor was she ever wary of them.

“I see...” Dr. Linwood did not believe her.

More and more people from Watson Biopharmaceuticals started to arrive. After a manager from the

human resources department came to congratulate Luca, many other people came over to

congratulate her and network too.

Luca had to greet these people with a smile, but in reality, she did not recognize who all of them

were.

Dr. Linwood watched gloomily as people gathered around Luca to praise her.

If it were not for what Dr. Albus did, would she be in her place right now?

After a while, Mo walked over and whispered a few words into Luca's ear.

Luca nodded and followed Mo out.

Then, the crowd dispersed.

Dr. Linwood said to the other research professors at the same table, “Did you hear? Something

happened to Dr. Craw's team.”

"What?" one of the research professors replied.

“It's about a researcher named Ambrose. He was curious about what her next research project was

going to be, so he took one of her samples. Then, Luca threw a fit and got him fired,” Dr. Linwood

said. He heard it from the researchers under him

They did not make it a big deal, but the researchers were always talking about different things, so

they all knew about it.

“That happened? I never heard Dr. Craw mention it, so maybe it's not that big of a deal,” a research

professor exclaimed.

“They just fired the person and kept it lowkey.” Dr. Linwood rubbed his chin and looked around.

Before Luca came back, he continued, “Don’t you think it's strange? If Luca was just researching the

next project, why did she have to be so secretive? What that researcher did was wrong, but isn't

getting fired for stealing a sample too much?”

After hearing Dr. Linwood feel sorry for Ambrose, a research professor hurriedly said, “I think Dr.

Craw did the right thing.”

“Huh?” Dr. Linwood looked at him.

“The incident with the general manager has caused everyone to panic, so although Dr. Craw’s

research would eventually be shared with the researchers, stealing is wrong. Maybe she was just

worried that Ambrose would be like the general manager. I think what Dr. Craw did was right. If I

were her, I might've even informed the entire company...”

In his opinion, the reason Luca did not make a big deal out of it was to not embarrass the

researcher.

“You're right. It's just that Dr. Craw is so mysterious, so the researcher must've been curious.” Dr.

Linwood agreed and was just trying to make a point that Luca was overreacting.

“Even if he was curious, he shouldn't have done it. That was Luca's research, and it was wrong for

Ambrose to steal it,” the research professor shook his head and said.

“That's right, no matter what, stealing is not the way to go. Dr. Craw was already nice enough to not

treat him as a spy,” said another professor.

Dr. Linwood was left speechless as all the research professors were eagerly defending Dr. Craw.

On the other hand...

Luca followed Mo's lead to a lounge.

Mo smiled and said, “Dr. Craw, Mr. Crawford is waiting for you inside.”

“Alright.” Luca put one hand on the handle and pushed the door open before closing it

immediately.

Luke was sitting on the sofa, and when he saw her walk in, he patted the seat beside him and

gestured for her to sit there.

Luca walked over and sat next to him. “Aren't you going out?”

“I'll go out in a bit.” Luke stared at her deeply and sighed.

Luca held onto the hem of her skirt tightly. “What's wrong? Is it not nice?”

“No, you look great.” Luke's gaze was deep with infatuation. She was beautiful.
