Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1890

Luca knew it was time for her to speak.

Even though Luke was there, she was not willing to talk but she still got to carry out Abel's order.

Luca smiled and looked at Dr. Albus. "You're welcome, Dr. Albus. The credit for this medication research still goes to your research team's effort. All I did was solve a tiny problem. Those crucial data and all analyses were still completed by you guys. I'm not involved in those."

Dr. Albus' eye glittered with admiration when he heard her reply. She did not hog all the glory.

'Very good. She knew a lot more about the rules in the career field compared to when she first entered.'

Luke got even more mad when he saw Luca smiling at Dr. Albus.

'She smiled so sweetly to a professor who is not related to her but to me, she could just blurt out such a mean statement.'

Luke suddenly got up and announced, "The meeting had ended."

Dr. Albus' smile froze and looked at Luke. "Mr. Crawford…"

"For the remaining stuff, just follow the protocol will do." Luke had a very awful look and after saying it, he left immediately.

Luca look at Luke's back figure which was leaving the scene and sighed within her. 'I think I should prepare myself and pack my luggage to move back to my condominium.'

Since she had blurted everything, it would not be appropriate for her to continue staying in the villa.

"Mr. Crawford, about the celebration feast…" Dr. Albus followed up with Luke, astonished.

"You guys go ahead." After saying it, Luke walked to the elevator and repeatedly pressed on the button, as if the elevator had triggered him.

Dr. Albus dared not speak a word and watched Luke entering the elevator. Then, the door of the elevator closed before he slowly returned to the meeting room.

A few of the professors got up and asked when they saw Dr. Albus return, "Dr. Albus, what's wrong with Mr. Crawford?"

"I don't know either. Did I say anything wrong during my presentation?" Dr. Albus asked them.

The few professors shook their heads.

Dr. Albus looked at Luca. "Dr. Craw, do you know why Mr. Crawford is in such a state? Did I do something wrong?"

"It's not your fault, Dr. Albus. I think Mr. Crawford has been having a foul mood since he was in the headquarters. I guess something went wrong with the project," Luca said.

Her response calmed Dr. Albus. "As long the problem is not with me. It's getting late, let's head over to the hotel."

"Hotel?" Luca let out a suspicious tone.

"Yea, Dr. Craw. Let's go together. Today's the celebration feast for Dr. Albus and his research team. Mo has already booked a room in the hotel," said one of the professors.

Luca thought about it. It was only normal for them to organize a celebration feast, but she decided not to attend. She thought of returning before Luke did and left after she had packed her luggage.

"Dear professors, I'm sorry but I still got work to do. I really don't have any spare time." Luca rejected their invitation.

"Dr. Craw, it's just for a night…" one of the professors persuaded.

"Yea."

Luca felt troubled.

Mo smiled and explained on behalf of Luca, "Dear professors, stop troubling Dr. Craw. Right now, she still got to be in charge of the project at the headquarters. The project is on a tight schedule, and she hopes she would have a clone to carry out the job. How is she going to have the spare time?"

"That's right, it's very hectic." Luca had a helpless look on her face.

Dr. Albus heard it and did not pester. "Oh right, I almost forgot. How about this Dr. Craw, when you're free, let me treat you to a meal next time? Though, you have to come when I do. "
