Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1254

Cole's expression sank even more, which confirmed Talia's guess.

Talia had expected that Cole would be selected to join the off-site training, but the results were out of her expectations. Disregarding Cole's sullen expression, Talia continued asking, "So who got selected?"

"Luca Craw, and Dr. Albus!" Cole sat sullenly on his office chair. As the manager of the Technical Department, it was a huge embarrassment that he was not selected for the off-site training. He said sternly to the woman in front of him, "What happened? Can't you even do a simple job?"

Talia felt quite aggrieved that Cole was blaming her for it.

She knew about the deal between Cole and Dr. Albus. Cole was the only one who had benefited from the deal, and she did not see a single cent from it.

If Cold had not accepted Dr. Albus's bribe, he would definitely be selected.

She thought that it was wrong for Cole to blame her. After all, she managed to make friends with all the researchers' assistants except for Rhett. They did not join the department at the same time, and Rhett was not a social person, which was why they were not close to each other. She could only estimate Luca's research progress from what other research assistants told her.

"Sorry, Dr. Kidman." Talia could only apologize to placate Cole.

She was also not very happy that she had missed the chance to join the off-site training.

Cole grunted huffily. Now that he was not selected, there was nothing that he could do. It was not like he could ask Dr. Albus to make way for him!

"Get out." Cole became even more annoyed when he saw Talia's groveling manner. He did not want to see her in his office.

"Yes." Talia was also not willing to be in the same room with Cole while he was angry. When she heard Cole's command, she slunk out of the office as fast as she could.

As he watched the office door close, Cole suddenly regretted getting Talia to be his assistant.

She had poor technical knowledge, and she could not do what he wanted.

Meanwhile, as soon as Luca sat down on her chair in her office, someone knocked on her door. She instinctively stood up again and opened the door, and she was slightly taken aback when she saw that it was Rhett.

"Congratulations for being selected, Dr. Craw." Rhett was rarely so excited.

Luca would definitely bring her research assistant along, which meant that Rhett would be going to New York too.

The event would look good on his resumé, and it would be beneficial to him if he decided to further his studies or career in the future.

"Mm." Luca did not look too happy. Abel had wanted her to join the off-site training, which meant that he had planned something for her.

She would have to be on her guard at all times, and that was nothing to be excited about.

Rhett thought that Luca was not being herself today. Usually, Luca would tell him to come in instead of opening the door for him.

This time, Luca had opened the door for him, and she did not look too happy.

"What's wrong, Dr. Craw?" Rhett asked out of concern.

Luca came to her senses. What was she doing?

When she heard the knock on the door, she instinctively thought that Luke was outside. That was why she had opened the door for him while thinking of how to keep her distance…

She shook her head. "It's nothing. Our next step is to apply for an independent research laboratory for the next stage of our research. Also, pack your bags. We'll be heading to New York soon."
