After the local news section was the financial news. Luca came to her senses and watched the news report on the stock market. T Corporation’s prospects were looking bright.
She turned off the television with the remote control, finished her breakfast, picked up her handbag, and left the house.
The laboratory at T Corporation was almost completely furnished. Luca would be restarting her research today.
Rhett had told her that the different research teams in Watson were working much harder than before because of this new policy. They wanted to be the next team to move to T Corporation.
Luca did not understand the appeal of working in T Corporation.
She was even willing to let them take over her position in T Corporation. It was not only because she was constantly under surveillance, but she also did not want to work at the same building as the CEO.
Luca caught a cab and went to T Corporation. After she clocked in, she stashed her personal belongings in her office, then went to the laboratory.
The researchers in her team should have been working at their stations, but now, they were huddled together and discussing something.
Luca went over and asked them, “What are you talking about?”
“Good morning, Dr. Craw,” the researchers greeted her. They were not very close to her because Luca was not very social. Usually, they would inform Rhett if they needed anything, and Rhett would tell Luca about it.
One of the researchers said, “Dr. Craw, have you seen the announcement on the company website?”
“Company website? What about it?” Luca asked.
“They caught the person who messed up our research,” the researcher said excitedly. All of them were happy that the culprit was caught.
“To be exact, they only caught one of the people in the security department. In the announcement, that person had admitted that he tampered with the surveillance cameras,” another researcher said.
“That’s about the same. If many people were involved and they caught one of them, it wouldn’t take too long to catch the others,” the previous researcher said.
Luca asked, “I don’t have my phone with me, but did the announcement say who the security guard was?”
“The article mentioned that he’s a relative of a certain manager in Watson. I didn’t know that you need connections to join the security department!” The researcher exclaimed.
“Heh, don’t you know that security guards get paid more in T Corporation and its subsidiaries? If I were a security guard, I’d want to work in T Corporation too.”
From what the researchers told her, Luca could guess the contents of the announcement.
The announcement did not specify which manager it was, but Luca could roughly guess it.
Luca addressed the researchers, “Alright, we should get to work soon. I’d like to hold a brief meeting before we start on the research again. Let’s meet in the conference room in ten minutes.”
“Yes, Dr. Craw,” the researchers replied.
Luca glanced at the time, then took her tablet computer and went into the conference room.
Five minutes later, the administrative assistant in charge of their department came into the conference room with cups of coffee and placed them in front of each of the seats. Her name was Zoey Davis. “Dr. Craw, shall I take the meeting minutes for you?” She asked.
Even though Luca knew that Luke had installed a surveillance camera in her office, she did not know if he had asked Zoey to spy on her too.
