Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1152

Luca followed Jason to the CEO's office.

Watson Biopharmaceuticals was only a subsidiary company, so the furnishings in the CEO's office were not as lavish as that of T Corporation. The dull gray walls gave her an oppressive feeling.

Jason stood at the entrance, and he had no intention of going inside. He pointed toward the interior and said, "Please, Dr. Craw."

Luca took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Luke's voice was heard from the inside.

Luca's hand gripped the metal doorknob. It was cold to the touch and made her shudder slightly.

She pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Luke sit on the swivel chair, she deliberately left the door open. "Mr. Crawford."

"Sit." Luke pointed at the seat opposite him.

Luca nodded. She had only taken two steps when she heard Jason closing the door behind her.

She turned around and glanced at the closed door.

"…"

She did not want to close the door because she did not want to share a private space with Luke.

Luke coughed gently. Luca came to her senses and sat down at the chair opposite him.

"Can I help you, Mr. Crawford?" She asked softly.

"I'm very interested in your projects," Luke said candidly.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Luke only wanted to meet her for her projects. "Thank you."

"How much money do you need?" Luke asked. His heart skipped a beat when he heard her soft voice.

Luca lowered her head and did not notice the sparkle in Luke's eyes. She thought carefully for a bit, though she was not very sure about how researching funding worked. As far as she knew, her projects were in the final stages, and she did not need as much funding as those that had just started.

All she had to do was to verify the data from Shanks's research. There was practically no risk of failure.

"I don't need too much money because my research is in its final stages. I shall leave it to your discretion," Luca said.

"Don't you want to request more?" Luke was quite surprised. Any other researcher would want to take the opportunity to ask for more money.

After all, if the research was successful, they would make massive profits for the company, and they could take the credit for it.

"More money won't make my research better, so I'll only ask for enough." Luca was not interested in research funding.

"Mm." Luke wrote some characters on a document.

From how Luke was holding the document, Luca could not discern what he was writing. She guessed that he was filling up a budget document.

"When I talked to you last time, you were only working on one project. Why do you suddenly have two?" Luke put the document away and asked.

"Isn't that good for the company?" Luca said.

"It's good, indeed." Luke nodded. "The project is in its final stages, so you must have spent a lot of time on it. Did you bring it over from your previous company?"

Luca knew what he was worried about. She nodded and reassured him, "It is indeed a continuation of a project from my previous company, but I've done most of the research in private after I resigned. They don't have any useful information."

Luke nodded, and his phone began to ring. It was from an unknown number, and he rejected the call without hesitation.
