"That’s very attentive of you." Luke stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace.
When Luca saw the words 'download complete', she said, "The kids really like this cartoon. Today's plot seemed quite exciting. You know, even a mature kid like Lanie enjoys watching this cartoon. So, I think it’s better to get it ready for them."
"Lanie is just watching it with his younger siblings. He may not necessarily like it." Luke understood Lanie very well.
Luca was surprised. "Really?"
"Yes. As an elder brother, he knows he must excel, but he also has to accompany his younger siblings. If he finds such things boring, it might affect his siblings," explained Luke. Lanie was not a childish kid. In fact, he did not really enjoy watching cartoons.
He knew Lanie only watched them to accompany his younger siblings.
Luca was even more surprised. "I thought he really liked it..."
"That’s not the case. For him, whether he watches it or not doesn't matter. But Tommy is different. I wonder who he takes after. Although Tommy is smart, he's mischievous."
Luca blinked her eyes. "Grandpa said I was very well-behaved when I was a child. He definitely didn't take after me."
"He didn't take aftereither. Lanie takes after me." Luke shook his head. The child was mischievous, but it seemed that his trait had nothing to do with them.
"That’s unlikely." Luca pinched his cheek. "They say a boy's character resembles his father's. If your past environment had been more relaxed, maybe you would've been a mischievous boy, so Tommy
might resemble another side of you?"
"That's not possible..." Luke did not want her to think he was mischievous as a child.

"Okay. Let's go to bed." Luke glanced at the time, then turned off the lights and lay down with her.
Luca leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat and feeling her own heartbeat resonate with his.
She said, "What do you think if I tell Mr. Turner tomorrow that I'll accept the offer to teach at Capital University?"
"It's up to you. But if you feel busy or tired, you don't have to go," answered Luke. As he took in her scent, a certain part of his body reacted subtly.
However, he resisted it with his willpower. He should not do anything to hurt Luca.
"It won't be too tiring. I'll tell him." Luca decided she had to go.
If she delayed further, it would be the end of the semester and agreeing then would be meaningless.
The following day, Luca went to work at Watson. After clocking in, she sat in the office, looking at the experimental data of the past three days.
She had not been in the office for three days. There was a lot of experimental data. Even though she was not in the office, the researchers did not slack around. They had been diligently following her instructions and tasks, progressing with the research.
Luca went through all the experimental data, ensuring everything was fine. Then, she neatly organized the data and headed upstairs.
She arrived at Evan's office.
Evan was currently working in his office.
Luca knocked on the office door.
"Cin." Evan's voice cfrom inside.
Luca pushed open the door and walked in. "Good morning, Mr. Turner."
"Good morning, Dr. Craw. Please have a seat." Evan smiled, gesturing for her to sit across from him.
Luca nodded and took a seat.
Before she could speak, Evan asked, "Dr. Craw, have you made up your mind?"
Luca looked at him. The way he smiled was like a fox, gleeful and seemingly harmless. It was as though he were innocent as could be.
However, in reality, he had everything calculated.
When Luca saw the look on Evan's face, she knew he guessed that she would agree after persuading her for three days.
It was also the industry networking event that changed her mind. After all, Evan had really helped her out.
Even though his help was a task assigned by Luke.
"Well, I've considered it. Since it's already midway through the semester, it won't take much effort for me to go now. After all, a semester passes quickly. But I have one request," replied Luca.
Evan nodded and asked, "What request? Just tell me."
"I have no teaching experience, so I can't guarantee that I'll do a great job teaching the students. If the students' grades aren't satisfactory at the end of the term, the university can't blme or the company." Luca made her request.
Many universities linked the students' grades to the lecturers. If students performed well and improved quickly, the lecturers would receive more rewards. It would also impact their professional evaluations.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, she was not a professional lecturer, so that system would not affect her.
Still, even if it did not affect her, it should not damage Watson's reputation.
Even though Luke was not planning to use this company to boost T Corporation's income, it was his company. She needed to uphold the company's name.
If someone else were teaching the students, she would not care about the quality of their teaching because it was not under her control.
However, if she was the one teaching, she could control it. Therefore, she needed to clarify things with Evan and the university.
"Sure, no problem. Although I believe that you won't encounter the issues you mentioned, even if you do, the university won't blus. It's their fault for not hiring a professional professor. Whether the results are good or bad, the consequences shouldn't fall on Watson," Evan replied cheerfully.
"Also, my assistant will helpwith lesson preparation. You can inform the university and send the teaching schedule to my assistant." Luca did not plan to prepare the lessons herself.
She was too busy for such tedious tasks.
"No problem at all. My secretary will communicate with your assistant about this matter. Don't worry. So, Dr. Craw, are you planning to start teaching this week?" Evan was eager for her to start teaching this week, especially since Capital University was pressing for it.
Still, of course, it depended on Luca's cooperation.
Even though Evan asked such a question, he knew that Luca probably would not go to teach this week. After all, she was not very enthusiastic about contributing to the teaching profession.
"Next week, perhaps. It’s too rushed forthis week," said Luca. "My assistant isn't solely dedicated to preparing lessons for me. He's also different from other research assistants. He helps out in the laboratory."
Then, Luca added, "But I trust you'll be able to handle things well. After all, the president of Capital University bears the surnTurner as well."
"Right, he's my uncle. However, the cooperation with Capital University was established before I took over the company. So, Dr. Craw, this collaboration with the university isn't something I deliberately pursued."
Evan cheerfully closed the file he was working on while talking to Luca.
He was multitasking, handling company documents while conversing with Luca.
