Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3082

However, no one had the courage to compete with Luke for talent, so he was only thinking about it.

After all, the name Luke represented capital in any industry...

Luca would not be so foolish as to not choose Luke and go for another company instead.

After all, as long as Luke agreed, the other party would be able to obtain more research funds.

Therefore, the man dared not to have the intention of poaching Luke’s talent.

After a while, the host stepped onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and said to the audience below, "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, the seminar will begin soon.

"Please take a moment to locate your respective company's seating arrangements and settle in. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the people gathered around Luke still showed no sign of leaving.

Warren stood up and said to the others, "Everyone, the seminar is about to begin. Please return to your seats. Mr. Crawford needs a break."

No one wanted to leave, but Warren's words implied that it would be impolite not to comply.

Everyone wanted to chat with Luke and leave an impression on him. They had not had many opportunities before, so this chance was precious to them.

Moreover, the host's words were clearly directed at those surrounding Luke.

Those people could only disperse and find their respective company seats.

As the crowd dispersed, the air suddenly became much fresher.

While Luke remained aloof toward those people, he still extended the appropriate courtesies. Though he stayed distant, it was not as obvious as before.

He appeared genuinely hopeful about the pharmaceutical industry. That was why those people mustered the courage to continue conversing.

Among those people, other than some small company executives, there were also many executives from large companies.

Although Watson's scale was not as large as theirs, they also wanted to explore more cooperation opportunities through Watson.

Capital was crucial for every industry, after all.

After the crowd dispersed, the staff on the stage began the final adjustments.

Evan asked Luca in a low voice, "Dr. Craw, why were you gone for quite a while just now?"

"Was I? I don't think so..." Luca recalled what had just happened. A sense of discomfort welled up from deep within her once again.

"It was actually quite a while. I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic, chatting with an intern for so long. You're the perfect fit for teaching at a university." Evan revealed his ultimate purpose.

Luca was rendered speechless for a moment.

She initially thought Evan was trying to lead her on with his words, but little did she know he was still talking about the issue of her teaching at Capital University.

Luca felt helpless. She had to explain, "He was curious, so I elaborated a bit. Besides, the questions he asked were within my knowledge, but teaching at a university, especially that particular course?

"Yes, I've studied it before, but that was back in my student days. It's been a long while since I graduated. I've probably forgotten a bunch of stuff. Plus, I've never taught that course before.

"Honestly, a lot of the lab professors in our department have past experience as lecturers at universities, so they're probably better suited for it."

With recent events piling up, Luca simply could not find the time to teach university students.

Besides, she did not have the inclination...

However, Luke knew it did happen. According to Gale, Abel did not hold back when he swung at Luca.

The force of his punch was strong enough to make Luca double over in pain at that time, yet now she acted as if nothing had happened.

Luke knew it was all a facade.

A woman who used to fear pain so much now took a beating without uttering a cry of pain. She did not even shed a tear. This was not a good sign. All of this indicated that he, as her husband, had failed to protect her.

A woman would become particularly strong when she lacked a man's protection. She would not cry or complain no matter what happened, not even when she was in pain.

Luke felt sorry for Luca.

His attention was fully focused on Luca. Abel and Shanks were also sitting in their respective seats.

His company's position was slightly behind Watson's, allowing him to see Luke and Luca from behind.

Abel sneered and looked at the two of them. He spoke to Shanks in Russian, "Look at them. Acting all innocent in front of everyone, sitting there with a gap between them. It's funny, isn't it? Weren't these two in some gossip headlines before?"

As there were no foreigners nearby, Abel unabashedly chatted with Shanks in Russian.

Since those around them might understand English but not Russian, Abel felt free to converse in Russian.

Previously, this country used to teach Russian to everyone, but now English was the dominant language. Abel was not worried about others overhearing their conversation.

Shanks, being more cautious than Abel, reminded him, “Watch what you say.”

Abel initially thought there were not many people who understood Russian around.

Shanks added, "Translation software nowadays is incredibly advanced. It can instantly translate whatever you're saying."
