Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2725

"It's on the fifth floor,” replied Rhett as he pressed the button heading toward the fifth floor.

Luca nodded and watched the number that gradually went up as the elevator rose.

Rhett asked, “Dr. Craw, have you reviewed the report yet?”

“I did. But I think something’s missing. I’d like to request more funds for this project. We have to hold a meeting next Monday,” answered Luca. She did not intend to discuss work with Rhett now. However, she decided to go along with it since he brought it up.

“Sure.” Rhett nodded. Mo Stone was more familiar with the paperwork. He knew it would be much easier for Luca with him and Mo Stone helping her.

Ding. The elevator door slowly opened when it arrived on the fifth floor.

Luca stepped out of the elevator, and Rhett led her to the left. “Gabriella Hall.”

“Alright.” Luca followed Rhett into the banquet hall.

Many employees were already seated.

Someone noticed Luca's arrival and said, “Dr. Craw is here.”

It caught everyone's attention, and they turned to look at Luca.

Dr. Jackson walked toward Luca with a smile on his face and congratulated her, “Congratulations, Dr. Craw.”

“Thank you, but this is the product of everyone"s efforts.” Luca felt uncomfortable with all the attention that was given to her. However, it reminded her that the attention she received was much more than that when she stood next to Luke last time.

If she could pull it through last time, she would be able to deal with it now since she was just an employee of Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Hence, Luca held her head high and stood straight, trying to show her humbleness as their gazes fell on her.

"Dr. Craw, where’s your seat? Do you need me to take you there?" asked Dr. Jackson. Watsons had yet to find a replacement for the position of general manager. Moreover, the research department was the company's most important department. Dr. Jackson had taken over Dr. Cole's position. Therefore, he had the same position as the previous general manager.

That was why he was particularly concerned about the dinner tonight.

"It’s okay, Dr. Jackson. Rhett and I will sit over there." Luca declined his offer.

"Alright." Dr. Jackson had nothing more to say.

Luca walked in front of Rhett, while Rhett followed beside her.

Luca sat down at the front table. Rhett sat with other researchers at the table beside her.

Other professors were present too.

"Good evening, professors," Luca greeted them. She did not address them one by one since there were many of them there.

"Dr. Craw, you look beautiful tonight," Dr. Linwood replied first.

He heard that Dr. Craw was already preparing for a new research project. It made those who were still working on the first project envious of her.

However, their research progress was indeed slower than the others. Even though Dr. Linwood was jealous of her, he did not say anything rude to her to prevent himself from losing his grace.

"Thank you." Luca graciously accepted his compliment.

"Dr. Linwood, you're right. Not only does Dr. Craw looks pretty, but she's also knowledgeable. There's no need to doubt her expertise in this field." Another professor went along with it.

Luca gave him a faint smile. She had already expected to hear such flattering remarks at an event like this. After all, it was the company’s dinner.

However, there was no way she could delay the research after what happened to Dr. Albus.

The other professors seemed to be halfway working on their research project. That was why she had to proceed with the research and make it successful.

If one who stood in such a high position conducted ordinary research, the professors might talk about that person behind their back.

However, Luca could not be bothered about that…

Luca only wanted to study this medicine. She strived to bring good news to patients with liver disease.

However, she was not the one who formulated it. The credit all went to Shanks…

Shanks’ medicine was good. It could have a significant impact when it was used on patients who were suffering from liver disease.

However, Shanks’ drug recipe had not undergone any tests or clinical trials. The drug could not be given to the patients yet. This was something that Luca needed to work on.

"Dr. Craw, is Mr. Crawford coming tonight?" Another research professor asked.

Luca was startled for a moment.

Luke had arranged a stylist for her, but he did not say whether he would come or not.

"I'm not sure about that, Dr. Linwood." Luca turned to look at Dr. Linwood.

Dr. Linwood smiled and replied, "How could I possibly know if even Dr. Craw doesn't know if Mr. Crawford is coming tonight?"

Luca's smile stiffened. It seemed like there was something between Dr. Linwood's lines.
