Rhett noticed that other than her voice being a little hoarse, she seemed perfectly fine, so he did not say anything.

Besides, Luca was their superior. If she said it was fine, as subordinates, they only had to follow orders.

After taking a seat, Luca was about to check the data when a researcher came into the laboratory with a thick stack of documents. The researcher walked up to her. “Dr. Craw, the data from phase three of the clinical trials is out."

"So soon?" Luca took the stack. She thought that the data would only be done after the new year.

"Yes, they're speeding things up because it's the end of the year, which is why they sent us the data now," said the researcher.

"Okay, I'll look at it later. If possible, let's have a meeting at three o'clock." Luca put the documents aside and planned to look through them during lunch.

If there was nothing wrong with the data, they could start preparing for the launching of the drug.

"Alright, I'll have Ms. Davis prepare the meeting room," said Rhett.

Luca picked up the documents and added, "Then, have Ms. Davis make copies of these documents for everyone as well."

"Yes, Dr. Craw," said Rhett as he left with the documents.

Luca leaned back in her chair and breathed a sigh of relief as the research had come to an end...

Since the experiment is over, did that mean that she and her team would need to return to Watson Biopharmaceuticals?

Luke moved them over here to protect the results of the experiment because the security over here was much more advanced than Watson Biopharmaceuticals'.

If she went back, her interactions with Luke would be reduced by at least half.

Luca's heart told her to come in contact with Luke more so that they could make more memories together.

However, her mind told her that the more she came in contact with Luke, the harder it would be for her to let go when she had to go back to the Island of Despair.

Luca sighed.

She looked at the row of test tubes in front of her and suddenly felt like she was at a loss.

Zoey walked over with copies of the documents while placing the original copy next to Luca. “Dr. Craw, when I passed by your office, I heard your phone ringing."

"Okay, I'll go check it out." Luca stood up. She walked out of the lab and returned to her office.

Just as she pushed the door open, the phone rang again.

Luca frowned as the urgent ringtone gave her a bad feeling.

She walked over to her desk and picked up her phone. When she realized that it was from Watson Biopharmaceuticals' general manager, she let out a sigh of relief.

As long as it was not Abel.

On second thought, she found it strange as Watson would usually contact Zoey if there was a meeting to be held or an important notice. However, this time, they were calling her directly.

It was the first time the general manager ever called her.

Luca answered the phone. "General Manager, what's the matter?"

"Dr. Craw, what took you so long to pick up the phone?" the general manager asked with dissatisfaction in his tone.

"I was in the laboratory just now and I left my phone in the office. Is there a problem?" Luca asked him with a cold tone.

"I heard that the data for phase three of the clinical trials is out. Send me the digital files," said the general manager.

Luca frowned as she had just gotten the data report of the clinical trials. How did the people at Watson know about it already?

Her gut told her something was not right.

"I don't have the digital files with me right now," said Luca.

"You're a research professor. How can you not have them?" The general manager was in disbelief.

"My subordinates are in charge of that. Besides, you're in charge of the company. Why are you meddling with the data?" Luca questioned.

This general manager was not originally in charge of the drug research either.

After the Dr. Cole incident, Luke had the HR department recruit a general manager to manage the company's day-to-day affairs.

How could those managing daily affairs know about research?

Luca had never heard of such a thing.

The general manager did not expect Luca to ask him that question. He cleared his throat and said, "I'm just concerned about the company's performance. Dr. Craw, just send me the documents."

Luca grunted lightly. Although she did not who this general manager was, his intentions were too obvious.

"General Manager, even if I give you the data, you won't be able to understand them. Is there anyone on your end who can read the data?"

The general manager's voice turned serious. "There are so many professors in the company. Who wouldn't be able to read the data? The situation with Dr. Albus has already cost us a lot, so I'm just trying to be more cautious to recover the losses."

“Which is exactly why the data information should be kept confidential. If Dr. Albus really did betray the research data, there's no guarantee that others won't betray me too if I make the data public. If something goes wrong with my research, as someone who's seen the data, you'll be the biggest suspect," said Luca.

"What do you mean by that?" the general manager questioned.

Although she could not see him, Luca could guess that the general manager's expression had changed. She said indifferently, "Before the drug enters the market, I'll keep the documents and data safe with me. If you insist on seeing the data, you can make an application with Mr. Crawford. As long as Mr.

Crawford approves, I'll definitely give all the documents to you."

The general manager did not reply and hung up the phone with a bang.

Luca frowned as this general manager was really problematic, but Luke had no intention of getting rid of him... This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

She had hinted at it more than once.

She believed that Luke understood what she was trying to say but.

What was Luke thinking?

Why had he not done anything to this problematic general manager? Could he be messing with him?

No matter how much she thought about it, she still could not figure it out. Then, there was a knock on her door. When she opened the door, Luke was standing outside.

She noticed that it was already lunchtime after seeing the lunch box in his hands.

"Time to eat," said Luke as he walked in.

Luca closed the door behind him and looked at him, then she sat on the sofa thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking about?" Luke could tell that something was on her mind at first glance.

"Mr. Crawford, have you investigated the general manager of Watson?" Luca asked.

"Why do you ask?" Luke opened the lunch box bag and took out the food Aunt Neile made. After eating with him for the past few days, Luca was no longer averse to eating lunch with him.

"I've mentioned before that I think there's something wrong with him. When I just got the data for the phase three clinical trials earlier, he called to ask me for it. I just got the data, so how could he know about it when he's at Watson?" Luca asked as the clinical trial data was not directly tied to Watson but to her.

Hence, she and her research group should be the first to know.

After thinking about it, Luca guessed that there may be someone in her research group who was on the general manager's side.
