Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1151

Chapter 1151 She Did Not Want Any Trouble

"Yes. Mr. Crawford changed his mind this morning," Mo said.

"Mm, understood." Luca was frustrated by the news article. She would have to face Luke later...

She quickly walked into the office to make spreparations for the meeting.

Mo watched her walk away and mumbled, "Why does Dr. Craw look so much like the woman in the photo?"

Fifteen minutes later, Luca cout of the office.

When she arrived at the conference room, almost all the other personnel from the Technical Department were there.

Luca looked at the nameplates on the oval table and found her seat. She was relieved when she found out that her seat was sdistance away from the CEO.

She casually glanced around the room and noticed that no one was paying any attention to her. It seemed that no one recognized her in the photo.

Luca felt a lot more at ease. All she wanted was to do her job and not cause any trouble.

She knew that Luke would deal with the media outlets, so she was not worried that the news would spread.

Five minutes later, Luke cin through the door. Behind him were Jason and Cole.

Luca lowered her head and pretended to revise her notes. She did not want to meet his gaze.

Luke sat in the CEO's seat and gazed at everyone in the room coldly. His gaze darkened when he saw Luca.

Mo was observing all that discreetly. She noticed the change in Luke's expression.

She followed the direction of Luke's gaze and found out that he was looking at Luca.

Cole sat on Luke's left side. The conference room was silent. He braced himself and asked, "All the researchers are present, Mr. Crawford. Shall we begin the meeting?" "Mm." Luke nodded. He sat there but did not do anything, as though he was a mere observer.

Cole waited for thirty seconds for Luke to speak. Seeing that Luke was not speaking, he cleared his throat and said, "Let's begin the meeting then. Our agenda today is to determine the company's development plans for the next financial quarter. I hope that all of you are prepared to present your projects; that will determine the amount of funding you will get in the future."

The researchers nodded.

They were notified about the meeting yesterday, and they had worked overton their presentations so that they would receive more funding.

Seeing that no one objected, Cold waved his hand and said, "Let's start from the left."

The researcher sitting next to Cole broadcast his slideshow on the screen and presented his research project.

Luca was the third researcher to present.

She handed her USB drive to Mo so that Mo could help her broadcast it. Then, she began to introduce the two drugs that she was researching.

The first drug was a cure for cancer, while the other was an antibiotic. Shanks did half of the work for both of the projects.

As Cole listened to her presentation, his dissatisfaction gradually turned into shock.

He thought that Luke had employed the woman because of connections. The presentation showed him that Luca was a far more capable researcher than he had imagined.

Her work had surpassed many experienced researchers. Unlike most modern drugs that improved other drugs with similar components, Luca's drugs were wholly revolutionary.

If she were not capable, she would not have been able to perform such research.

Luca could tell that all eyes in the conference room were on her, but she could not keep calm when she realized that Luke was looking at her.

She tried to still her wildly thumping heart as she presented her progress report on the two drugs. After it was over and she sat down, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Luke's gaze turned even more profound after hearing her presentation.

He did not expect that she would be presenting two progress reports. If the two drugs made it to the market, it would be a blessing for countless patients and bring record profits to the company.

Luke looked at the presentation on the screen and sank deep in thought.

After Luca's presentation, the other researchers also presented their progress reports one by one. Luke listened to them all.

By the end of the meeting, none of the other researchers' presentations were as attractive as what Luca presented.

Cole turned to Luke and said, "Mr. Crawford..." "Dismissed," Luke said curtly and stood up. He looked around the conference room and was the first one to leave.

The people in the conference room looked at each other.

Luca lowered her head. Her hands were clasped tightly under the table.

Earlier, his gaze seemed to have lingered on her for a little longer.

After Luke left, he took the elevator and went to his office on the top floor.

Jason was standing behind him. He asked, "Boss, aren't you going back to T Corporation?" "Are there many reporters outside T Corporation?" Luke asked.

"Yes," Jason answered. He thought that Luke stayed behind because of a certain woman, but it turned out that he was mistaken.

However, whenever a scandal happened in the past, Luke would hold the fort in T Corporation instead of hiding in a subsidiary.

Jason discreetly observed Luke's expression and scratched his head in confusion.

When the elevator reached the top floor, Luke stepped out of the elevator and told Jason, "Get Luca Craw to cto my office in half an hour." "Yes!" Jason nodded.

Luca returned to her office. Before she could sit down, Mo cin and told her, "Dr. Craw, Mr. Crawford wants to see you at his office." "Noted, thanks. I'll go over now." Luca put down the notes in her hand and left the office. She thought for a while and asked, "Do you know why Mr. Crawford is looking for me?" "I don't know." Mo thought for a while and continued, "It should be related to your research projects." "Did he ask any other researcher to go to his office too?" Luca asked.

"As far as I know, you're the only one," Mo said with a smile.

Luca nodded. It was normal for an employer to have private meetings with their employees, but she could not shake off the feeling that Luke wanted to meet her for something else.

Mo was still looking at her with a smile. "Dr. Craw, were you and Mr.

Crawford friends before this?"

Luca could sense something in Mo's gaze and instantly understood what she was thinking. "Is there something that you want to know?" She asked.

"No, just asking." Mo shook her head, feeling a little flustered. Even though both of them were employees, Luca held a more important position in the company, and Mo knew better than to overstep her boundaries.

Luca smiled when she saw the panic in Mo's eyes. "I'll go up myself," she said as she pressed a button.

"Yes!" Mo nodded and quickly left.

Luca took the elevator to the top floor. Jason was waiting for her.

"This way, please, Dr. Craw," Jason said cheerfully when he saw her.
