Chapter 49
You Hit My Heart
After all, Charlotte was the one who really engaged with Luther.
Joyce didn't want to get involved in other people's marriages.
With watery eyes, Charlotte smiled, "Never mind. I still trust you. You
can go ahead with your work."
"Hmm." Joyce nodded. She returned to her seat, turned on her
computer and opened the 3D design software. Joyce began to
concentrate on her drawing.
On the other side, Luther returned to his exclusive office.
He pressed the call button, "Get Casey in here."
Not long after, a man in a gray suit with a clean face walked in.
He was Luther's special assistant Casey.
"Mr. Luther, may I ask what you need?" Casey asked respectfully.
"About the new projects in automotive research and development, give
me a brief overview of the progress.â Luther sat in his swivel chair with
an elegant posture.
The ink-black large desk had a paperweight in the shape of a leopard
with a pair of emerald eyes.
He reached out his hands and repeatedly rubbed it. The more difficult
the tame was, the more he wanted to tame.
"Mr. Luther, this car design uses integrated casting technology, which
requires the molten metal liquid to be cast through a large mold. Before
that, we need 70 small parts. With the casting, the number is reduced
to four that makes up the body of the car. This greatly reduces
production costs and also improves the strength of the parts." Casey
reported.
"The designer, is Joyce?" Luther raised an eyebrow. She was quite
capable, and was actually an incomparable talent.
"Yes, Luther," said Casey who was surprised in that Luther would not
ask for such details in the past.
âIs there a supervisor named Lauren in the project team?" He
remembered the scene where Joyce was embarrassed just now, and
he heard it all.
"Yes. Her name is Lauren.â said Casey.
"She's fired, and this project is under your personal supervision." Luther
got up, and his voice was without a trace of emotion. His eyes were like
universe.
He walked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out on the
88th floor. The view was spectacular with the sky, clouds, mountains
and tall buildings. And he could see the whole of Khebury.
"Yes. Luther.â said Casey as he was about to exit the office.
It was weird that Luther would fire a junior executive. He didn't know
what did Lauren do that offended Luther.
At that moment, Luther suddenly turned around with an unknown smile,
"Wait. Keep her."
He suddenly felt that things might get more interesting by keeping
Lauren.
It was better to wait and see what happened.
"Yes. Mr. Luther."
Casey left the office with amazed feeling. What was wrong with Luther?
Why did he recall his order? What was going on in the automotive
development program that he didn't know about?
At lunchtime, Charlotte requested to leave the office for a while during
lunch break.
She deliberately walked quite a distance to find an out-of-the-way
drugstore. A mask on her face, she went in to buy a pregnancy tester.
With the tester in her pocket, she then walked into the bathroom of a
cafe shop.
Such a thing, of course, can not be done at home and in the company.
After waiting for a short time, Charlotte looked at two striking bars on
the pregnancy test.
As she thought, she was indeed pregnant.
If she was an ordinary person, she will be at a loss for words. But she,
Charlotte, had never been an ordinary person.
She calmly looked at the pregnancy tester several times, smiled and
then dropped it in the toilet.
The baby was definitely Thomasâ. She conceived just days before
Joyce saved Luther's life. The timing was so coincidental that she can
make a big deal out of it.0
