Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1381

After Mo returned to the office, she notified Talia that Dr. Cole was looking for her.

When she heard that, Talia walked out of her office immediately.

She knew that Luca had organized a meeting but the only people who participated in the meeting were those in Luca’s research group and Dr. Cole. However, Dr. Cole did not reach out to her even after the meeting ended.

Talia was very anxious and worried about what would happen, so she had been waiting for his call.

She quickened her pace and ran into Luca at the elevator entrance. She was startled and greeted her with her eyes cast down. "Dr. Craw, good morning."

"Good morning." Luca looked at Talia and could not help wondering if she was involved in the incident.

Talia listened to her calm tone as if she was not at all anxious about what had happened. Her emotions were a little unbalanced. She asked, "Dr. Craw, I heard about what happened. If you need help, just let me know and I’ll do all that I can to help you."

"Thank you for your kindness." Luca did not accept or refuse. She continued walking after thanking her.

Talia turned around and glanced at her. The worries in her heart grew.

The calmer Luca was, the more restless she felt. She walked quickly into Dr. Cole's office.

"Close the door." Dr. Cole reminded her when he saw Talia walk in.

Talia closed the door, walked to his side, and asked, "Dr. Cole, what’s Dr. Craw's plan to deal with this situation?"

"Mr. Crawford is here. Did you know that?" Dr. Cole did not answer her question.

Talia nodded. As soon as Luke appeared at the company, the employee group chat went off. Upon receiving the notification, everyone pretended to be working hard so as not to be caught by the boss.

"He made it to the meeting and told me something." Dr. Cole looked at Talia's face and shook his head. He was regretting being seduced by her.

She was not particularly beautiful but her young body was what he was obsessed with.

"What did he say to you?" Talia had a bad feeling when she saw that there was not a trace of a smile on Dr. Cole's face.

Dr. Cole said, "He asked Mr. Doyle to investigate this matter. If there’s no clear conclusion on this matter, he told me that I have to take the blame."

"How is it possible? This incident did not happen in our research team. Luca should be the one to take the blame!" Talia's eyes widened in disbelief.

Dr. Cole replied with a sharp tone, "He made it clear that I would have to take all of the responsibility and Luca would get to stay out of it. Talia, if Mr. Doyle doesn’t find anything, I’ll have to send someone from our team to take the blame.’

Talia understood what he meant. She clenched his fists with both hands. "Dr. Cole, I did this but you can't expose me."

"I don't want to, Talia. Trust me, I’ll protect you." Dr. Cole could only coax her for the time being.

However, Talia was not a three-year-old child who could be coaxed so easily. She said, "Dr. Cole, how are you planning to protect me? Whether Mr. Doyle finds out or you expose me, no one can protect me. I’m not the only one involved in this matter, you’re involved as well. In the end, it doesn’t matter if Mr. Doyle finds out. You have to take responsibility alongside me!"

She knew how it would end for her if others found out what she did. Such a sacrifice meant that her career would be ruined in the second half of her life.
