Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1151

"Yes. Mr. Crawford changed his mind this morning," Mo said.

"Mm, understood." Luca was frustrated by the news article. She would have to face Luke later…

She quickly walked into the office to make some preparations for the meeting.

Mo watched her walk away and mumbled, "Why does Dr. Craw look so much like the woman in the photo?"

Fifteen minutes later, Luca came out of the office.

When she arrived at the conference room, almost all the other personnel from the Technical Department were there.

Luca looked at the nameplates on the oval table and found her seat. She was relieved when she found out that her seat was some distance away from the CEO.

She casually glanced around the room and noticed that no one was paying any attention to her. It seemed that no one recognized her in the photo.

Luca felt a lot more at ease. All she wanted was to do her job and not cause any trouble.

She knew that Luke would deal with the media outlets, so she was not worried that the news would spread.

Five minutes later, Luke came in through the door. Behind him were Jason and Cole.

Luca lowered her head and pretended to revise her notes. She did not want to meet his gaze.

Luke sat in the CEO's seat and gazed at everyone in the room coldly. His gaze darkened when he saw Luca.

Mo was observing all that discreetly. She noticed the change in Luke's expression.

She followed the direction of Luke's gaze and found out that he was looking at Luca.

Cole sat on Luke's left side. The conference room was silent. He braced himself and asked, "All the researchers are present, Mr. Crawford. Shall we begin the meeting?"

"Mm." Luke nodded. He sat there but did not do anything, as though he was a mere observer.

Cole waited for thirty seconds for Luke to speak. Seeing that Luke was not speaking, he cleared his throat and said, "Let's begin the meeting then. Our agenda today is to determine the company's development plans for the next financial quarter. I hope that all of you are prepared to present your projects; that will determine the amount of funding you will get in the future."

The researchers nodded.

They were notified about the meeting yesterday, and they had worked overtime on their presentations so that they would receive more funding.

Seeing that no one objected, Cold waved his hand and said, "Let's start from the left."

The researcher sitting next to Cole broadcast his slideshow on the screen and presented his research project.

Luca was the third researcher to present.

She handed her USB drive to Mo so that Mo could help her broadcast it. Then, she began to introduce the two drugs that she was researching.

The first drug was a cure for cancer, while the other was an antibiotic. Shanks did half of the work for both of the projects.

As Cole listened to her presentation, his dissatisfaction gradually turned into shock.

He thought that Luke had employed the woman because of connections. The presentation showed him that Luca was a far more capable researcher than he had imagined.

Her work had surpassed many experienced researchers. Unlike most modern drugs that improved other drugs with similar components, Luca's drugs were wholly revolutionary.

If she were not capable, she would not have been able to perform such research.

Luca could tell that all eyes in the conference room were on her, but she could not keep calm when she realized that Luke was looking at her.
