Chapter 1398After the local news section was the financial news. Luca came to her senses and watched the news
report on the stock market. T Corporation’s prospects were looking bright.
She turned off the television with the remote control, finished her breakfast, picked up her handbag,
and left the house.
The laboratory at T Corporation was almost completely furnished. Luca would be restarting her
research today.
Rhett had told her that the different research teams in Watson were working much harder than before
because of this new policy. They wanted to be the next team to move to T Corporation.
Luca did not understand the appeal of working in T Corporation.
She was even willing to let them take over her position in T Corporation. It was not only because she
was constantly under surveillance, but she also did not want to work at the same building as the CEO.
Luca caught a cab and went to T Corporation. After she clocked in, she stashed her personal
belongings in her office, then went to the laboratory.
The researchers in her team should have been working at their stations, but now, they were huddled
together and discussing something.
Luca went over and asked them, “What are you talking about?”
“Good morning, Dr. Craw,” the researchers greeted her. They were not very close to her because Luca
was not very social. Usually, they would inform Rhett if they needed anything, and Rhett would tell Luca
about it.
One of the researchers said, “Dr. Craw, have you seen the announcement on the company website?”“Company website? What about it?” Luca asked.
“They caught the person who messed up our research,” the researcher said excitedly. All of them were
happy that the culprit was caught.
“To be exact, they only caught one of the people in the security department. In the announcement, that
person had admitted that he tampered with the surveillance cameras,” another researcher said.
“That’s about the same. If many people were involved and they caught one of them, it wouldn’t take too
long to catch the others,” the previous researcher said.
Luca asked, “I don’t have my phone with me, but did the announcement say who the security guard
was?”
“The article mentioned that he’s a relative of a certain manager in Watson. I didn’t know that you need
connections to join the security department!” The researcher exclaimed.
“Heh, don’t you know that security guards get paid more in T Corporation and its subsidiaries? If I were
a security guard, I’d want to work in T Corporation too.”
From what the researchers told her, Luca could guess the contents of the announcement.
The announcement did not specify which manager it was, but Luca could roughly guess it.
Luca addressed the researchers, “Alright, we should get to work soon. I’d like to hold a brief meeting
before we start on the research again. Let’s meet in the conference room in ten minutes.”
“Yes, Dr. Craw,” the researchers replied.
Luca glanced at the time, then took her tablet computer and went into the conference room.Five minutes later, the administrative assistant in charge of their department came into the conference
room with cups of coffee and placed them in front of each of the seats. Her name was Zoey Davis. “Dr.
Craw, shall I take the meeting minutes for you?” She asked.
Even though Luca knew that Luke had installed a surveillance camera in her office, she did not know if
he had asked Zoey to spy on her too.
She thought for a while and nodded. “Alright, please help me take the meeting minutes later.”
“Yes, Dr. Craw. I’ll go and make preparations.” Zoey nodded and left the conference room with the
empty tray.
Ten minutes later, all the researchers were seated in the conference room.
Luca briefed them about the research direction. From the previous stage of their research, Luca
realized that they had to prioritize certain things, and other steps could be omitted. She was going to
implement those changes when they came to the next stage of their research, but seeing that they had
to start over, she might as well make those changes now.
Her speech lasted for fifteen minutes. After she had spoken what she wanted to say, she looked at the
researchers in the conference room and asked them, “Does anyone have anything else to add?”
The researchers shook their heads.
Luca nodded, stood up, and picked up her tablet computer. “If that’s the case, the meeting is
dismissed. Let’s all work hard so that we can bring the product to the market.”
“Yes,” the other researchers replied.
Zoey finalized the meeting minutes and watched Luca walk out of the conference room. She took out
her phone and sent a message to Jason. [Mr. Doyle, Dr. Craw has just finished her meeting with herteam.]
Jason had tasked her to spy on Luca’s movements in addition to being her administrative assistant.
Luca returned to her office. She did not have time to rest. Instead, she put on her lab coat and went to
the laboratory.
She was not surprised when she opened the office door and saw Jason standing outside.
“Can I help you?” Luca asked.
“Yes. Sue wants to host a dinner at home this Sunday. She knows that you’re working in T Corporation
now, so she’s asking me to hand you the invitation,” Jason said as he handed Luca an invitation card.
Luca took the card. The handwriting on the card indeed looked like Sue’s handwriting, but she could
not help but wonder why it was so formal.
“Sunday? I don’t know if I’m free on Sunday,” Luca said. She did not immediately accept the invitation.
Jason nodded and said, “It’s fine. You don’t have to give me your answer now. Right, are you heading
to the lab?”
“Mm, yes. The incident has seriously delayed our progress, and I have to get back to the research as
soon as possible,” Luca said. Seeing that Jason did not leave, she guessed that he had something else
to say.
Jason nodded and continued, “You can ask Ms. Davis if you need anything. Right, have you read the
announcement on the company website?”
“I’ve heard the other researchers talking about it. Has the security guard told you about his
accomplices?” Luca asked.“They’re still interrogating him, and I don’t think he’ll be able to keep his secrets for much longer,” Jason
said with a smile.
Luca thought that Jason’s expression reminded him of Luke. Perhaps Jason was influenced by Luke
somehow.
Even though Jason was smiling, Luca could not shake off the impression that he was as sly as a fox.
Luca nodded.
Seeing that Luca did not ask any further questions, Jason asked, “Dr. Craw, aren’t you curious about
the identity of the manager in the announcement?”
