Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 2953

Luke was a family man.

Still, what would he do if Old Master Crawford was upset about their relationship?

Would he give up or keep on going? Would he figure out a way to cheer her up?

If she were Bianca, she would not doubt for a moment that Luke would choose her. After all, such situations had occurred before, and Luke's choice was always her from the beginning.

However, her identity was Luca now. Would Luke still make the schoice?

Luca was not worried that Luke would give up on her. She had been feeling down because Luke had been quietly shouldering everything, and her beloved family was suffering because of her reluctance to be honest.

She was Bianca, and she was also Luca.

How should she tell them the truth without feeling sad, anxious, or agitated?

Luca really wanted to tell them that her true identity was Bianca, but she remembered Nyla and Eler, who were still on the Island of Despair.

She had the antidote, but she had not found the right tto tell Luke about this. Would Luke be able to stay calm and deal with these if she told him everything?

Luca had no idea, and she was afraid that telling him might drag him into it.

There was a knock at the door.

Luca cback to her senses. She turned off her phone screen and put it on her office desk. "Come in."

Rhett entered with a lunchbox. "Dr. Craw, your lunch."

"Thank you. Just leave it on the coffee table," replied Luca. She picked up a book and said to Rhett, "By the way, take this. Give it a read if you have sfree time."

"Okay. Understood." Rhett took the book handed to him by Luca. "Cellular Biology?"

He immediately turned to look at Luca with a worried expression on his face. Did she think he was not up to her standards, which was why she gave him this book?

Luca knew he had misunderstood and explained, "The manager calledtoday to discuss my role as a professor at Capital University. I don't think I can decline it, and sooner or later, I'll have to accept it. I'll be teaching cellular biology."

Rhett nodded. Something crossed his mind as he asked in surprise, "Dr. Craw, you're not going to makegive lectures to students, are you...?"

He had only graduated not long ago!

Besides, he had only completed his undergraduate studies and had not pursued a postgraduate degree. He also had no experience in teaching students, and he was still learning from Luca.

If she made him lecture the students, no one would listen to him...

Rhett stared intently at Luca, hoping she would deny it!

Otherwise, his legs would tremble if he had to stand at the lectern.

"No, not at all. This is an important course for biopharmaceuticals. Smedical students will also pick this course. Even though I'm doing this as a part-tgig, I can't just wing it. Lately, my research has been crazy, and I've got a lot of personal stuff going on.

"If I end up having to teach, I won't have tto prepare. So, how about you read this book first, and if I really can't get out of this role, I want you to make the lesson plans and preparations. Are you okay with that?

"I won't let you do it for nothing. I'll transfer a portion of the compensation I receive as a part-time professor to you," explained Luca. She did not intend to take advantage of Rhett because of her position.

Rhett had been her personal assistant for quite stime. She knew why he started working right after finishing his undergraduate studies.

In their industry, getting a master's degree before entering the workforce could really boost one's career.

Rhett, however, had to give up the idea of pursuing a postgraduate degree because his family was struggling and needed him to start working sooner.

Given the situation, he felt that the more effort he put in, the more he should get out of it. Luca was not a stingy person. She had already talked to him about it, and she only wanted him to do his best in everything he did.

Furthermore, refreshing his memory with this book would be beneficial for him.

"Dr. Craw, I can help you prepare the course material and presentations. As for the compensation, you don't need to giveanything. After all, assisting you with your work has been beneficial for me," Rhett understood Luca's intentions.

He did have sshortcomings in this aspect.

After graduating, he was not eager to pick up his old textbooks. Even if he explored new knowledge, he was subconsciously avoiding his weak areas.

Therefore, Luca assigning him this task was akin to forcing him to confront his weaknesses!

"When you do a good job, you should receive corresponding rewards. But I'm still considering whether to accept the offer. We'll see," Luca replied in a soft voice, touching her forehead.

When she thought about everything that had happened to her, it felt like a jumbled mess. She just could not be happy.

Rhett saw Luca's reaction and asked with concern, "Dr. Craw, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No. Go ahead and have your lunch." Luca shook her head, knowing that he probably had not eaten yet because he had been busy packing her lunch.

"Alright!" Rhett responded energetically, taking the book with him as he left. He closed the office door behind him.

Back in his assistant's office, Rhett opened his lunchbox and began reading the book.

The version of the book Luca had given him slightly differed from the textbooks he used during his college days, but that was fine. The differences were not significant, and his memory served him well. Hence, it did not feel too challenging.

Mo Stone walked in and saw Rhett. She reminded him, "Eating while reading can lead to indigestion."

Rhett lifted his head, smiled without saying anything. Then, he continued to eat and read simultaneously.

Mo Stone, who was curious, approached him and glanced at his book. "Cellular Biology? Why are you reading this? Didn't you study it in college?"

Rhett explained what Luca had told him.

After all, Mo Stone was not a stranger. This was not a secret either. After he finished talking, he added, "But Dr. Craw isn't very keen on taking up this task, so I'm just reading it for now while seeing how things develop."

Mo Stone felt envious listening to what Rhett told her.

Even though she saw how busy he was, the rewards he reaped were substantial.

Not just in terms of salary but also in industry experience.

If he mentioned that he worked at Watson Biopharmaceuticals during his class reunion, he would garner admiration from the others.

If Rhett were to say he was doing research with Luca, even more people would envy him...

Mo Stone bit her lip and asked Rhett in a low voice, "Rhett, do you think Dr. Craw needs another assistant?"

"I'm not sure about that." Rhett looked up at Mo Stone. "Are you...?"

"Yes, that's my intention. But Dr. Craw has turneddown before. Well, I'd like to give it another shot. Do you think I have a chance?" Mo Stone thought since Rhett was in the research team, he would know whether Luca was busy or not.

If Luca was busy, would there still be a chance for her?

“I'm not sure. Maybe you can ask Dr. Craw.” Rhett shook his head. He was aware that Mo Stone had that idea before, but he did not expect her to get turned down.

However, even with that said, when the new research project was underway, he never heard Luca complaining about being short on manpower or anything like that. Thus, Mo Stone's chances of success were not very high.

Taking their relationship as colleagues into consideration, Rhett lifted his head and offered another piece of advice, "Honestly, if you're interested, it doesn't have to be Dr. Craw. Other professors might need help too. Perhaps you can give it a shot."
