Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2801

Matysh watched Ethan leave hurriedly from behind with a gloomy expression on his face.

If he managed to get out of here, he would definitely leverage the power of his family and bring the Crawford family to utter ruins!

…

Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Luca sat in her office, handling a pile of documents.

She could feel her head throbbing when she was going through the documents after conducting numerous experiments.

Luca picked up the landline on her desk and dialed her assistant's number. "Ms. Stone, please come to my office."

"Alright, Dr. Craw," replied Mo Stone. She hung up the phone and headed to Luca's office.

She knocked on Luca's office door.

"Come in."

Mo Stone pushed the door open and politely asked, "Dr. Craw, what can I do for you?"

"These documents have been sorted out. Help me take them out and make two copies of each. I need to deliver them to T Corporation," Luca pointed at the files in front of her.

Since Watson Pharmaceuticals did not have a general manager at the moment, all the important documents had to be reviewed by Luke himself.

After Luca finished preparing the budget report for the research funding application, she also had to hand it to Luke and wait for his approval.

"Alright, Dr. Craw. I'll take care of it right away," replied Mo Stone as she displayed a diligent and responsible work attitude. She picked up the documents, returned to the assistant's office, and began photocopying the documents.

Inside the assistant's office, Rhett was also busy with his work. There were a few professors' assistants there too.

"Are these Dr. Craw's documents?" asked Rhett. Luca was the only one in the entire office who had a pile of documents to be copied.

There were many tedious paperwork tasks for her to deal with before the start of a new project.

"Yes, they're all Dr. Craw's. Is it for the research funding application?" Mo Stone glanced at the contents of the documents and made a guess.

Dr. Jackson's assistant could not help but speak in an envious tone, "Dr. Craw is truly amazing. She finished one project so quickly and barely took a break, yet now she's starting another research project."

"Rhett, you're lucky to be working with Dr. Craw. But I guess you're also really busy, huh?" Dr. Linwood’s assistant went along and teased him.

"It's all work. It’s not like what you said." Rhett did not answer their questions.

"How much research funding is Dr. Craw applying this time?" asked Dr. Jackson’s assistant.

Rhett remained silent.

Mo Stone knew the amount, but she did not answer either.

Dr. Jackson’s assistant eventually turned to Mo Stone and asked, "Ms. Stone?"

"That should be kept within Dr. Craw's research team. Why? Are you thinking of moving to another team?" Mo Stone did not answer his question. Everyone was highly sensitive to this now after what happened to the general manager.

Even though it was not classified information, Mo Stone knew Luca’s leadership style prioritized confidentiality. She did not want to risk losing her job. That was why she avoided mentioning it.

"Haha, look at what you're saying. Can I switch teams even if I want to? I don't have the qualifications or experience to be a researcher," Dr. Jackson’s assistant laughed awkwardly.

In this field, they were only eligible to become researchers once they had enough experience.

Fresh graduates like them who had just started the job could only be research professors' assistants. They had no choice but to do some grunt work under the professors' guidance.

Who would want to be an assistant if they could be a researcher?

Being an assistant meant low wages and a heavy workload. Although they could participate in experiments, their involvement was limited to peripheral tasks. If the professor was kind enough, they might get some guidance. If it was the other way around, they would have to figure things out on their own while dealing with a pile of paperwork.

Assistants like Rhett, who worked closely with Luca in the laboratory and were responsible for many research tasks, were rare.

"I heard about it. Are you planning to switch teams if they hire a new research professor?" asked Mo Stone.

"Why do you keep asking me if I'm switching teams? I'm doing fine here with Dr. Jackson," Dr. Jackson’s assistant frowned. Dr. Jackson was currently the head of the department. Even though the official appointment had not been made yet, it was only a matter of time.

What was the point of leaving someone who was in charge for someone new?

"Why are you so curious since you’re not switching teams?" Mo Stone placed the copied documents into their respective folders.

"It just feels a bit boring here. I just thought I'd find something to talk about," Dr. Jackson's assistant replied awkwardly.

There was more activity and communication among colleagues in the other offices.

Their assistant's office, on the other hand, was usually quiet.

Occasional exchanges were work-related, and they did not spend much time in the office. Their job was to assist the research professors with document processing whenever they were in the office.

Dr. Jackson's assistant was in the office today because Dr. Jackson had gone back to the university for a meeting. There was not much for him to do in the laboratory.

The other researchers also found him a hindrance when he tried to help. He had no choice but to stay in the office.

"We're busy," said Mo Stone, finally finishing the task of making duplicate copies of the documents as requested. Then, she left with the documents in her arms.

Dr. Jackson's assistant rubbed his nose and shifted his gaze to Rhett.

"Mr. Link?" He gently called out his name.

"Yes?" Rhett did not look up.

"Do you think Dr. Craw is easy to get along with?" asked Dr. Jackson's assistant.

"Yes," Rhett continued to work on the documents. The way he spoke gave the impression of a lack of genuine effort.
