Don't Want To Be Disturbed "Dr. Craw?" Talia was surprised. She could not help herself from talking to Luca again as she walked over. "You're not an assistant? You're a professor?" "Yeah." Luca did not hide anything from her. Her expression remained neutral as she walked to the elevator with her ID in her hand.
"You look so young..." Talia could not help but utter what was in her heart. Realizing that she had said something wrong, she immediately covered her mouth and explained, "I’m not questioning your ability, it’s just..." "It's okay." Luca did not take her words to heart.
It was normal for a young person like her who had just entered the corporate world to be straightforward. It was a great thing that she had yet to be tainted by office politics.
Luca thought of the days when she had just returned to the country. Suddenly, she felt a little sad because she realized that it was all in the past. It was difficult for her to live a normal life now.
Seeing that Luca did not seem to mind her words, Talia breathed a sigh of relief. As the elevator slowly arrived on their floor, she immediately stepped forward.
"Dr. Craw, can I ask you a question?" she asked in a soft voice.
"Okay," Luca lowered her head and pinned her ID to her shirt.
"How old are you?" Talia asked. Luca looked young, that was why she thought that they were about the same age and that Luca must be an assistant.
That was until she found out that Luca was a researcher...
"I have children." Luca did not answer her directly but mentioned their age difference.
Talia calculated with her fingers. 'To be a researcher, she must at least obtain a master's degree or even a doctorate... She also gave birth... Woah, our age gap must be huge!'
Talia sighed in her heart and glanced at Luca again. Although they had an age gap, Luca's face and skin made her look young.
Talia was envious. There were a lot of people in the elevator, so she leaned over to Luca and asked in a soft voice, "Dr. Craw, do you have any skincare tips? Your skin is great!" "Drink plenty of water," Luca said.
Talia was speechless.
The technical department was on the 15th floor, and the other departments were below the 15th floor. After some people got off the elevator, the elevator was more spacious. Luca stood in the corner of the elevator and glanced at the other person standing in the elevator.
He was a middle-aged man with glasses. He seemed gentle and looked like someone with a good temperament.
It was likely that he was her colleague.
Luca sneaked a look and then retracted her gaze. The elevator soon reached the 15th floor. She walked out of the elevator and looked at the two employees standing there. One was male and one was female. She glanced at their IDs.
They were assistant researchers.
Seeing that they had arrived, the female employee welcomed them." Professors, welcome to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Mr. Crawford has prepared a welcome party for everyone, please come with me."
The two led the way. Luca was not sure whether she should follow them.: owner of this content.
She did not expect that Luke, who never paid attention to things like this, had prepared a welcome party...
Seeing that Luca stood still, the female assistant smiled and invited her once again, "Dr. Craw, please come with me."
Luca bit the bullet and followed them.
The welcome party was held in a conference room on the 15th floor. The space was large enough. When the assistant opened the door, he said, "Dr.
Cole and Dr. Craw are here."
Luca walked in, looked at the people inside, and was stunned.
In addition to the professors she met during the interview, Luke and Jason were also here.
She sighed in her heart. She thought that Luke would not be here but it seemed that she was being naive.
Luke valued them, so how could he not show up for this welcome party?
"Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Cole Kidman. I'm excited to work alongside all of you." The man who came in with her introduced himself first.
After he was done, Luca knew that it was her turn. She had no choice but to say, "I'm Luca Craw. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you."
She was the only female researcher, and those present were all middle- aged men. There was nothing wrong with her saying that she wanted to learn from them.
Luke stood there with a glass of champagne. His thin lips curled up slightly as he raised his glass and said, "Welcome to Watson Biopharmaceuticals."
The female assistant immediately handed them two glasses of champagne.
Luca took one of them, raised it in Luke's direction, and took a sip.
Her actions were casual, but in the eyes of others, they were amorous. The eyes of many researchers were drawn to her.
Luke noticed that and was upset but did not show it. He put down his wine glass and said, "The wine and snacks here are for everyone. You can eat and drink as you wish. Today, I'll not talk about work. I just hope that everyone here will enjoy themselves." "Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Several people snapped out of it and thanked him.
Luke walked to Luca.
Luca had the urge to escape when she realized that he was coming toward her. Although the man had a smile on his mouth, his gaze was unfathomable.
She did not want to confront this unfathomable man for fear that she would give herself away.
However, in front of so many people, escaping was not an option.
Luke walked up to her and said, "Dr. Craw, please come with me."
Many of those present heard what Luke said and were taken aback. 'He wants to talk to her in private?'
When Jason, who was not far behind him, heard this, he immediately stopped. He turned around, picked up the champagne glass, and chatted with the researchers.
His boss wanted to have a private chat with Luca, so he would not be stupid enough to follow along.
He already knew about Luca taking in Tommy and could not help but sigh. The two were fated.
Luca had no choice since she was personally called out by Luke. Hence, she placed the champagne glass somewhere and followed him out.
The two walked out of the conference room one after another.
Luke did not stop and walked toward the corner of the corridor.
Luca followed him.
The two stopped at the end of the corridor.
Luca broke the silence. "Mr. Crawford, what's the matter?" "You took Tommy in?" Luke asked.
"Yeah." Luca nodded and explained, "I didn't know that he was your son but later saw that you were looking for him, so I sent him back." "I'm not holding you accountable," Luke listened to her explanation and said in a neutral tone.
Luca did not feel at ease when she heard his reply. Instead, she felt anxious, wondering what Luke thought about her taking Tommy in.
She felt helpless. She had told Tommy not to tell Luke about it but he still told him.
"Okay." Luca nodded, waiting for what Luke would say next.
"When you sent Tommy back, why didn't you show your face?" Luke asked.
"I don't want to be disturbed." Luca raised her eyes and met his gaze. She was stunned as she did not expect Luke to lower his gaze to look at her.
