Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2130

Luca followed Mo’s lead and walked into the conference room.

There were already two professors waiting in the conference room.

When they saw Luca walk in, the two professors said one after another, “Dr. Craw, you’re here. It’s been too long.”

“Long time no see, Professors.” After receiving the warm welcome from the two professors, Luca knew what was going on.

It seemed that the rumors from T Corporation had reached this side as well.

The two companies were not deeply associated, but somehow, gossip still managed to find its way here. Luca had resigned herself to it.

“Yes, it’s been a long time. Have a seat.” Dr. Linwood looked at Luca and thought that since she was close with Luke, he should not offend her.

After seeing how attentive Dr. Linwood was, Dr. Jackson was unwilling to fall behind. He asked Mo, “When will the other professors and general manager arrive? They should know that Dr. Craw’s time is very precious.”

“Everyone, please wait a moment. I’ll go inform them again.” Mo could not do anything but watch as the two professors fawned over Luca with their flattery.

This was reality.

Besides, Luca shared that kind of relationship with Luke. If they got closer to Luca, they might even be able to get more research funds in the future, which would make their research a whole lot easier.

“Be quick. We promised to meet at 3:30. Look at the time now!” said Dr. Linwood with a look of disappointment. He then smiled at Luca and said, “Dr. Craw, would you like some coffee? Let my assistant make you a cup.”

“No, thank you.” As always, Luca chose to keep a low profile, so she picked a corner seat and sat down. She opened her laptop, and just then, a thought occurred to her. She asked the two professors, “By the way, what’s the agenda for this meeting?”

“Did Ms. Stone not tell you? How careless of her,” said Dr. Linwood as he frowned.

“She did tell me, but the new quarter isn’t here yet. Why is the manager in such a rush?” said Luca. The new quarter would only arrive after the new year, but the new year was still a month away.

“It’s all because of Dr. Albus. The company had planned to use his research as the first revenue. Now that the plan has fallen through, the manager must’ve called for this meeting to have us speed up the research progress to quickly increase the company’s sales,” Dr. Linwood explained to her.

Luca nodded her head, indicating she understood.

That was her guess too.

“But our research is nowhere near completion…” Dr. Linwood looked at her and added, “Dr. Craw, your research made the most progress at first. How is it going now?”

“There were some data errors some time ago, but we’ve found the problem and we’re speeding up the research so that it can enter the market,” Luca replied without holding anything back.

“I see. Then your drug can be marketed soon.” Dr. Linwood heaved a sigh of relief. It was good for her to take the lead. That way, their research would have a chance to take a breather.

“If everything goes as planned, you’re right.” Luca heard footsteps and glanced up at the door.

Several professors and managers walked in at the same time.

He was angry and for good reason.

Luca watched everything in silence. If this went on, she was afraid that they were going to quarrel even before they had officially touched on the meeting agenda.

The general manager frowned. He was not afraid of causing trouble. After all, he did not work in the laboratory but was in charge of managing the whole company. “That’s not what I meant. I was just conveying the orders from above. Plus, if you say that you didn’t do anything wrong, then so be it. With the way you’re acting right now, Dr. Linwood, it makes me think that you’re guilty.”

“Mr. Crawford would never convey such orders. General Manager, did you misinterpret his message? Moreover, Mr. Crawford’s people would take the initiative to look into whether anyone has done anything wrong. I suppose the focus of this meeting is not about Dr. Albus, is it?” Luca could not keep quiet any longer. If she let the general manager continue talking, Luke would lose all his credibility.

The general manager was stunned. He dared not utter a word after he thought about Luca and Luke’s relationship.

He had no choice but to say, “Perhaps I misunderstood the boss’ meaning…”

Luca remained silent.

“Let’s move on, then. We’ll officially start the meeting and discuss the upcoming development goals of the company,” said the general manager.

Luca did not say anything and watched everything with a blank expression.

If the general manager had not used Luke’s name to put pressure on these old professors, she would not have spoken up.

It was important to know that these old professors were very important to Watson.
