Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1141-There Are Many Opportunities To Deal With This Woman

Luca chuckled softly when she noticed how uncomfortable he was. He had referred to her as 'Miss’ for three years and was not used to calling her by her name. She served him two pieces of beef and said, "Okay, let's eat." "Thank you..." Amur smiled shyly. "Thank you."

After the meal, Amur took the initiative to wash the dishes while Luca helped him clean up the room where he would sleep in. She put all the books back in the bookcase and took out a new bed sheet from the closet. She wanted to make sure that he felt at home.

"Thank you, Miss." Amur finished washing the dishes and saw her running around to prepare the room for him. He stepped forward to thank her.

"Stop calling me ’Miss’." Luca shook her head helplessly, pointed to the trash bag on the floor, and said, "You can take this out for me. I haven’t had the chance to clean it up after I experimented two days ago." "Okay." Amur took the garbage bag and walked out.

After Luca made the bed, she took the initiative to wipe all the surfaces in the room.

Amur came back after throwing the garbage. His heart was warm when he saw that she was still cleaning.

When they were on the Island of Despair, Luca was cold to everyone. The only time she would have a warm smile on her face was when she saw Nyla. Now that she was not on the island, she looked much more comfortable and showed her warm personality.

Only after she left the Island of Despair could she be who she truly was- someone beautiful and warm.

After Luca cleaned everything, she said softly, "Okay, it’s clean! You can sleep more comfortably now.” "Yeah." Amur looked at the cleaned room. Although it did not look like a proper bedroom, it was warmer

than the environment he was used to living in.

Luca took the towel and walked out of the bedroom. She looked at the time and said, "Amur, I need to prepare for work tomorrow. There's a TV and a computer in the room. Feel free to use them to kill time." "Okay, Luca. You can do what you need to do. Don’t worry about me." Amur smiled shyly.

Luca looked at his shy smile and thought that he looked like a typical boy next door. No one would believe that he was an assassin.

Logically speaking, Amur and Eler should not have been able to survive on the Island of Despair. If Abel had been cruel enough, the siblings would not be here today.

Luca smiled and went back to her bedroom.

She sat on the bed and thought of Amur's first mission. At that time, he was already good enough and completed the mission that involved taking someone's life. After returning to the island, he had nightmares every night for half a month.

Others did not know about this, but she and Eler did.

For an assassin, there was no turning back after the first kill. This was Amur's third mission. He still had the warm smile of a young boy on his face, but as time passed, his attitude would gradually shift.

Luca sat on the sofa and sighed. She hoped she could leave the Island of Despair as soon as possible and help the siblings move on with their lives.

She took out her phone to look at the photos Amur sent her. As she stared at Nyla’s cute face, she thought to herself that she must go back soon and leave the island with Nyla.

After she thought about it for a while, Luca turned on her computer and began to look through the documents that Shanks had previously worked on.

Abel wanted her to continue the research based on what Shanks had found and use it to benefit T Corporation's new pharmaceutical division.

Luca was not sure why he wanted to do this, but she was certain that Abel was not trying to benefit Luke. He had something else planned when he instructed her to do this.

By the time she sorted out all the documents, it was already evening. When she walked out of the bedroom, she found that Amur had prepared dinner.

"Amur, what are you..." Luca looked at the Russian food on the table that smelled wonderful. "I didn't know you could cook." "When I was young, Eler and I used to cook on alternate days. But it’s been years since I cooked. I only know how to cook Russian food. If you don't like it, I’ll cook other dishes for you." Amur was worried that she was not a fan of Russian cuisine.

"You don't need to cook anything else. These are wonderful, and they smell great." Luca walked over and sat down. The aroma of the food whetted her appetite.

Amur was a little overwhelmed by her praise. He smiled, sat opposite her, and looked at her nervously.

Luca picked up a fork and took a bite. The flavors of Russian food was not the same as what she was used to, but she had grown accustomed to the taste after so many years on the Island of Despair. After taking a few bites, she smiled and said, "It's delicious, even better than the cooks on the island." "I’m glad you like it." Amur heaved a sigh of relief when she said that she liked his cooking.

After dinner, Amur took the liberty to do the dishes again.

Seeing that there was nothing she could do to help, Luca put her coat on and said to Amur, "Amur, I’ll go for a walk downstairs." "Okay." Amur leaned half of his body out from the kitchen and said with a smile, "Be careful." "Don't worry, not many people can hurt me." Luca smiled and opened the door to leave.

The streets were lively at night. There were many small food stalls around and the crowd was bustling.

This area was not considered a wealthy area in A City, but it was a depiction of real life.

Luca walked slowly on the side of the road, enjoying the feeling of peace in her heart.

In a barbecue stall, a fat man squinted his eyes and watched as Luca walked over. He nudged a thin man with his elbow and said, "Boss, is this the woman who beat us up the last time?" "Yeah." The thin man narrowed his eyes. After the woman easily took them out, they all had to go to the doctor.

The doctor said that they were severely injured and had to take a long rest. Their bodies were in agonizing pain for three days.

The thin man could not let the matter go. They had never been embarrassed by a woman before.

"Big Brother, what are you doing?" Seeing that the thin man was about to stand up and provoke Luca, the fat man immediately stopped him.

"We haven't been compensated for our medical bills. What do you think I want to do?" The thin man threw his utensils on the table and planned to go forward to pick a fight with Luca.

When the fat man saw that he had forgotten what happened during their previous encounter, he reminded him in a low voice, "Boss, have you forgotten how that woman fights?"

The thin man was startled, and his expression turned sullen.

If others found out about what had happened, they would not have the social standing that they enjoyed now.

Seeing the resentment on the thin man's face, the fat man whispered," Boss, look at the big picture. Before this, we had so many people mess with this woman and failed. How can the two of us beat her?

Take a breather and have a seat."

The thin man was forced to sit down. He looked at Luca and said, "Are you that kind that you can let this go?" "Boss, don't be angry, I have a way. There’ll be many opportunities for us to deal with this woman!" the fat man said immediately.

The thin man took a sip of beer and looked at him. "What do you have in mind?"

The fat man got close to his ears and shared his evil plans.

After he heard the fat man’s plans, the thin man smiled grimly, picked up his fork, and got himself a piece of popcorn chicken. "That's a good plan. We’ll make this woman kneel in front of our brothers and beg for mercy!" "That's right, Brother. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. It’s just a matter of time before this woman begs for your mercy." The fat man smiled wryly. The layers of fat on his face were squished together. As his smile was too big, his fat face was jiggling.

Luca did not notice them and continued to walk forward.

When she was tired, she sat at a food stall where she ordered two dishes and a bottle of beer.

On the other hand in Crawford Manor.

Bianca sat on the sofa in the bedroom. She looked at the photo on the phone and tightened the grip on her phone. Her veins were nearly bursting.

She received an anonymous email that contained photos of Luke and a woman. A bank account number was mentioned, along with the message to transfer 500,000 dollars if she did not want these photos to appear in the newspaper.

Bianca did not care about the money. What she cared about was the woman in the photo. It was Ivana!

That morning, Luke went to an event held by Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. The event had nothing to do with Ivana, so why was she with Luke?

Rage flowed through her like lava as she stared at the two people in the photo. She wanted nothing more than to tear the photos to pieces.

There was a knock on the door and Bianca immediately hid her jealousy.

She lowered her head and said, "Come in."

The caretaker opened the door gently and reminded her, "Madam, Old Master Crawford is asking you to go downstairs for dessert." "Okay, I'll go down in a minute." Bianca lowered her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at the photos on the screen. Suddenly, she had an idea!

Ivana wanted to be more involved with Luke? She would not let the other party do what she wanted.

"Okay." Seeing that her mood was not the best, the caretaker did not dare say another word and closed the door.

Bianca rubbed her eyes until they were red to make it look as if she had been crying before going downstairs.

Susan was out with her friends, while Louis had taken his wife and child out to socialize. Hence, there were only Old Master Crawford, Luke, and the three children in the living room.

They were almost done with desserts.

Old Master Crawford was annoyed that Bianca was late. He snorted and said, "If you don't want to eat, don't."

Triggered by the words of Old Master Crawford, Bianca appeared more aggrieved and sat on the sofa. "Grandpa, I didn't do it on purpose."

The caretaker brought out a portion of the dessert and handed it to her." Madam, this is for you."

Bianca took it and put it on the coffee table. She stared straight at Luke, saying, "Luke, I have something to tell you."

Luke put down his plate and looked at her. "What's the matter?"

His voice was as calm as ever, which made Bianca feel chills. She glanced at the old man and the kids, thinking that since he could do such a thing to her, she did not need to care much about his dignity.

She took out her phone and opened the photos. "Today, I received an email. The other party is asking me for 500,000 dollars for these photos." "What photos?" Luke asked, his tone was neutral.

"Photos of you and Ivana." Bianca put her phone on the coffee table.

"Who's Ivana?" Old Master Crawford frowned and looked at them.

"Luke’s employee," Bianca replied before Luke could. "They were sitting in the car together and were secretly photographed by a reporter.”

Luke frowned and picked up the phone.

The photos were secretly taken earlier that day.

"Let me see," Old Master Crawford said in a low voice.

Luke handed the phone to the old man. He had not done anything wrong, so he was not afraid to have Old Master Crawford involved.

"Luke, what’s the deal with this?" Old Master Crawford asked. There was nothing ambiguous about the photos. Putting their identities aside, it just looked like a man and a woman were getting in the car together.

However, Luke was not an ordinary man. Apart from Bianca, the old master had never seen him personally send anyone home.

"I bumped into her. She couldn't get a taxi, so I sent her back,” Luke explained briefly in front of the kids.

He did not think he did anything wrong.

"Luke, even if you value her as an employee, you could've asked any of your other subordinates to send her back. Why did you drive her yourself? Even if your intentions are pure, how can you be sure that the other party has pure intentions as well? Maybe she plotted with the reporter so that she could blackmail us." Bianca thought that Old Master Crawford was on her side, so she spoke aggressively.

Luke frowned. Except for Allison, no one had been so aggressive toward him. He stared at Bianca.

She felt a little flustered and began to reflect on her words. She thought about it and decided that she had done nothing wrong.

'Am I not allowed to say anything even after seeing my husband being in close contact with other women?’

Tommy sat there and listened to what the adults were saying. He lay on Old Master Crawford and looked at the photo shown on the screen.

It captured Luca's side profile.

Tommy recognized the woman at a glance and said, "Huh?"

Old Master Crawford looked at him.

"Great-grandpa, she's not a bad person." Tommy put his finger on the screen and zoomed in on the photo.

It was a high-resolution photo. He looked at the woman's side profile and determined that it was Luca. "She was the one who took me in. Dad knows about it. That must be why he sent her home as a thank you."

When Bianca heard it, her face turned pale.

'How could there be such a coincidence? Tommy ran away from home and Ivana just happened to take him in? Then, she ran into Luke in the mall?’ "Tommy, didn't you refuse to mention who took you in?" Bianca did not believe him. She thought Tommy was doing it on purpose to pick a fight with her.

"I told Dad after that. Dad said that an act of kindness shall be repaid tenfold. I'm still young and can't repay her kindness, so Dad was probably helping me repay the favor," Tommy said and looked at Luke. "Dad, is that right?" "Yeah." Luke was not sure why Tommy would suddenly speak up for him, but it was most likely because of Luca.

Tommy liked Luca, so when he saw the photo, he immediately sided with him.

Luke was shocked. He thought that Luca just happened to live there, but unexpectedly, she was the one who took Tommy in.

Tommy tugged on Old Master Crawford's sleeve. He said, "Great-grandpa, I want her as my godmother. Is that okay?"

Bianca's expression turned sour when she heard that. She was no longer polite and shouted, "No, you already have a godmother!"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1143-He Thought He Would Get To See Luca More Often

"Even if I already have a godmother, I can still have a few more." Tommy was puzzled.

"Don’t you think that you’re being too reckless about this? She’s your father's employee. If she becomes your godmother, the hierarchy will be messed up." Bianca resolutely refused, the hostility in her heart growing more intense.

Ivana was picking a fight with her. It seemed that she was going to take away not only Luke but also the children.

She would never let this happen. If she failed the mission, she would be dead within minutes upon returning to the Island of Despair!

Tommy pouted and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Why does it matter? Aunt Nina is my godmother and she’s also Dad’s employee."

Luke noticed Bianca's resistance and said, "She has to agree to be your godmother before we can do that. We’ll talk about it later."

Tommy pouted and glanced at the photo. He then sat back and replied," Okay, I’ll ask Aunt Luca when the time comes. I'm sure she’ll agree."

Bianca was furious when she heard Tommy’s reply. She shook her head, stood up, and took her phone. Her face was pale as she said, "I'm feeling a little sick, I'm going upstairs."

Luke watched Bianca go upstairs and had no intention to accompany her. He just sat there.

"Great-grandpa, Dad, we’re going upstairs too." Lanie noticed that the atmosphere was awkward, so he jumped off the sofa and left with his siblings.

Old Master Crawford and Luke were the only ones left in the living room.

Old Master Crawford picked up his teacup and sighed. "Luke, except for Bianca, you’ve never been so concerned about any other woman before."

Old Master Crawford knew his grandson well. He was certain that Luke would not make an exception to send this woman home just because the

woman had once saved Tommy.

"Grandpa, I know what I’m doing," Luke said with a calm expression.

Seeing that Luke was not avoiding the topic, Old Master Crawford said, "I believe that. However, I've mentioned to you before that I hope you won't follow in your father's footsteps. The Crawford family had to go through so much for the peace that we have today. I don't want anything to happen again. You haven't made me worry about anything for so many years. I believe you'll handle it well this time too.” "Alright, you don't need to worry about anything," Luke said.

When Old Master Crawford heard his reply, he nodded, grabbed his cane, and wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest. Before he left, he thought about it for a second and then said, "By the way, you don't need to transfer money to the reporter for this matter." "I know." Luke nodded. He had not done anything wrong, so he would not transfer money to the reporter to cover up this issue.

The more he tried to hide things, the more others would think that there was something to it. The reporter would pay more attention to this matter and it would eventually lead to unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, even if the reporter made the photos public, he still had a set of arguments to shut the public up.

After Old Master Crawford returned to his bedroom, Luke did not continue to sit in the living room and went upstairs.

He glanced at the closed bedroom door. Instead of knocking on it, he turned around and went into Tommy's bedroom.

Tommy was sitting at his desk, reading a book.

"Dad?" He heard footsteps and looked back at Luke.

Luke nodded and closed the bedroom door. He walked over to him before sitting down.

Tommy had been back for a few days and the tension between them had eased.

"Tommy, tell me what happened that day," Luke asked.

"Are you talking about Aunt Luca?" Tommy closed his book and looked at him.

Luke nodded.

Tommy had not told him about the events that happened after he ran away from home. He only blurted it out because of what had happened. Seeing that things were out in the open, Tommy told Luke everything.

After he shared the full story, he said, "Aunt Luca is a good person and she’s a great cook! Dad, can I go to her place for dinner in the future?" "If she doesn't mind, you can," Luke said.

Tommy clapped his hands happily. Before this, he did not dare to tell Luke who took him in for fear that he would object to them meeting again. Now that he agreed, Tommy was overjoyed.

"That's great! I'll bring Lanie and Rainie too!" Tommy thought of what Bianca said in the living room and asked, "Dad, does she work in your company?" "Yes, it’s her first day tomorrow." Luke touched his

head.

Tommy blinked and said excitedly, "Then, can I ask for a leave of absence tomorrow to go to your company to play with her?" "No." Luke rejected him. He knew what Tommy was thinking. "She doesn't work in the headquarters. It's best if you go to school obediently."

Tommy pouted and said, "It's a pity."

He thought he would get to see Luca more often.

Luke touched his head, glanced at the time, and said, "It's getting late, get some rest." "Okay!" Tommy nodded and jumped off the chair. He thought of something else and said, "By the way, Dad, don't investigate Aunt Luca. She’s a good person who doesn't want to be disturbed." "How do you know about that?" Luke looked at his son.

"After she sent me downstairs, she stood in the distance and watched me walk to the security guard. She didn’t personally send me over. She’s a

good person and doesn't want to be harassed," Tommy explained, "I knew that Great-grandpa would scold you if I didn't say anything just now. If it weren't forthat, I wouldn't have told you that Aunt Luca is my savior." "Savior?" Luke raised an eyebrow.

"When I was hungry, Aunt Luca fed me." Tommy immediately changed his story. He almost broke out in a cold sweat.

If Luke found out that he was in danger previously, he would never be left alone!

Since he came back, two bodyguards had been assigned to follow him whenever he left the house. If Luke found out that he was in danger before bumping into Aunt Luca, he would be followed by a dozen bodyguards in the future instead of two.

He did not want that to happen!

"Okay, good night," Luke said.

After Luke left, Tommy immediately locked his bedroom door and turned on his tablet. He planned to inform Luca.

However, the video call rang for a long time without Luca answering it.

Tommy pouted and muttered, "Aunt Luca, what are you up to?"

He made another video call but she still did not pick up. Tommy glanced at the time and saw that it was late. If he did not go to bed now, he would not be able to get up tomorrow.

He gave up and had no choice but to turn off the lights and go to bed.

After Luke left Tommy’s bedroom, he walked to the study.

The study was in his bedroom, and Bianca stayed alone in the master bedroom. As soon as he sat down, Bianca knocked on the door and walked in.

"Luke, are you busy?"

Luke looked at the woman standing at the door. She did not walk in as if she was afraid of disturbing him. Her eyes were red from crying, and she looked like a poor little rabbit.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1144- Nothing Happened

"It’s so late. Why haven't you slept?" Luke crossed his arms and sat in the chair. His expression was calm.

"I can't sleep." Bianca played with her fingers anxiously. Before he could say anything, she said, "Luke, I overreacted today. I didn't mean anything else. But if you're interested in her, I'll leave. Since Tommy likes her too, you can be one happy family."

As Luke listened to her sorrowful words, his expression was flat. Bianca could not see any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

Bianca waited for his answer by the door. Seeing how calm he was, she turned from confident to anxious.

"Don't think too much of it. Go to sleep," Luke said after he did not move for sometime.

He did not comfort her nor comment further...

Bianca was dissatisfied but calmed down a little. At the very least, he was not going to divorce her for Ivana.

She nodded. When she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Luke say, "Don't worry about the reporter." "Aren't you going to pay him off?" Bianca was taken aback. She thought that he would pay up to bury the matter.

"Nothing happened, so there's no need to do such things." After he said that, Luke turned on his computer. His gaze was fixed on his screen as he started working.

Bianca was taken aback. After a while, she understood what he meant.

If he paid the reporter, it meant that he had something to hide and was involved with Ivana. The reporter would never let go of it.

"But I'm afraid that they'll make up a story with those photos." Bianca expressed her concern, not realizing how stupid her words made her seem.

"I know how to deal with it," Luke said. He took a look at the time and realized that it was almost midnight.

Listening to the sound of his constant typing on the keyboard, Bianca nodded and left. She closed the door on her way out.

She knew that Luke would not sleep in their bedroom tonight.

Bianca stared at the closed door and clenched her fists. In this home and Luke's heart, she was starting to matter less and less as time went by. She knew that something needed to be done for her to hold onto Luke's heart.

Early the next morning.

Luca got up early, made breakfast for Amur, and freshened up before leaving.

Luca stood at the gate of the community and waited for a taxi. It was rush hour now, so all the taxis that came by were occupied.

Luca waited patiently.

A fat man was hiding at the corner of the community. He secretly took photos of her with his camera.

Luca sensed something. She looked over and saw the corner of the fat man's clothes. Her lips curled up into a smile. She was not bothered.

If they wanted to take a photo of her, she would let them. These gangsters did not pose a threat to her.

After five minutes, Luca finally got an empty taxi. She got in and left.

After seeing her leave, the fat man walked out of the corner and called the thin man. "Boss, I got the photos you wanted." "Very well, send them to me," the thin man said happily.

The fat man left without knowing that Luca had spotted him.

The taxi driver followed the GPS and drove her to the destination.

After she paid, Luca got out of the car and looked up at the new building that had a sign that read 'Watson Biopharmaceuticals'.

This was the building where T Corporation's pharmaceutical company was located.

Luca was surprised that Luke built a building for this pharmaceutical company. It seemed that he had full confidence in entering the pharmaceutical industry.

She walked inside and thought about Abel's possible plans.

However, Abel was too unpredictable. She secretly made up her mind to make as much money as possible for Luke before Abel plotted his next step.

Luca walked into the pharmaceutical building and went through security with her badge.

After that, an employee was registering fingerprints and pupil recognition for the new employees.

It was the first day of work, so there were a lot of people. Luca followed the crowd and joined the long line.

Standing in front of her was a young and lively woman. She looked back at Luca, smiled sweetly, and stretched out her hand as she said, "Hello, my name is Talia. What's your name?" "Luca." Faced with the woman's enthusiasm, Luca had no choice but to shake her hand. She looked a little uncomfortable.

The other party was enthusiastic, but Luca had no intention of making friends. She just wanted to complete Abel's mission and return to the Island of Despair so that she could buy time to plan her escape.

Talia realized her abruptness and smiled as she withdrew her hand. However, she did not give up talking to Luca. "By the way, I'm an administrative assistant. Which department do you belong to?" "Technical department," Luca said. She kept her words concise.

Talia’s eyes were opened wide as she said enviously, "Are you a research assistant? Oh my goodness, I envy you so much."

Luca kept quiet.

Talia did not realize that the other party did not want to continue the conversation and went on with her chatter. "I wanted to enter the technical department but the requirements there are so high and they're picky with researchers. So in the end, the company said that they would place me in the administration department. I agreed. After all, if I perform well, there's a chance that I can change departments. Let me tell you, working in the technical department is great! You have a high salary and can learn relevant professional knowledge. You have to appreciate this chance that you're given. I'm so envious of you! I don’t know when I can be transferred to the technical department." "Why do you want to join the technical department?" Luca asked.

"I majored in biopharmaceuticals, but I don't have the experience, so I can only go along with the company's arrangements." Talia shrugged.

"You can choose another pharmaceutical company," Luca said. If Talia could not enter the department she wanted to enter, she had the choice of working for another company.

The pharmaceutical industry was booming. There were many pharmaceutical companies in A City.

Talia shook her head and said, "How can other pharmaceutical companies compare to T Corporation's pharmaceutical company? To put it bluntly, even if I’m an administrative officer, as long as my internship report is stamped with the logo of Watson Biopharmaceuticals, I’ll get mentors who will appreciate me and look at me differently."

Luca envied how enthusiastic Talia was.

Those who just left university were truly motivated. They were bright and warm like the sun.

"By the way, did you also major in biopharmaceuticals?" Talia asked.

Luca pointed to the front and said, "It's your turn.’’ "Oh, that's fast!" After Bianca's reminder, Talia turned around and cooperated with the staff to register her fingerprints and pupil recognition.

After she was done, it was Luca's turn.

Luca handed her employment letter and employee ID to the employee. Then, she registered her fingerprints and pupils on the machine.

When the employee saw her ID, they suddenly smiled and buttered her up."

Dr. Craw, here's your ID. Please come in."

Luca took the badge, nodded, and walked in. Talia, who was waiting for her, stared at her after she heard what the employee had said. 'Doctor?'

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1145-Don't Want To Be Disturbed "Dr. Craw?" Talia was surprised. She could not help herself from talking to Luca again as she walked over. "You're not an assistant? You're a professor?" "Yeah." Luca did not hide anything from her. Her expression remained neutral as she walked to the elevator with her ID in her hand.

"You look so young..." Talia could not help but utter what was in her heart. Realizing that she had said something wrong, she immediately covered her mouth and explained, "I’m not questioning your ability, it’s just..." "It's okay." Luca did not take her words to heart.

It was normal for a young person like her who had just entered the corporate world to be straightforward. It was a great thing that she had yet to be tainted by office politics.

Luca thought of the days when she had just returned to the country. Suddenly, she felt a little sad because she realized that it was all in the past. It was difficult for her to live a normal life now.

Seeing that Luca did not seem to mind her words, Talia breathed a sigh of relief. As the elevator slowly arrived on their floor, she immediately stepped forward.

"Dr. Craw, can I ask you a question?" she asked in a soft voice.

"Okay," Luca lowered her head and pinned her ID to her shirt.

"How old are you?" Talia asked. Luca looked young, that was why she thought that they were about the same age and that Luca must be an assistant.

That was until she found out that Luca was a researcher...

"I have children." Luca did not answer her directly but mentioned their age difference.

Talia calculated with her fingers. 'To be a researcher, she must at least obtain a master's degree or even a doctorate... She also gave birth... Woah, our age gap must be huge!'

Talia sighed in her heart and glanced at Luca again. Although they had an age gap, Luca's face and skin made her look young.

Talia was envious. There were a lot of people in the elevator, so she leaned over to Luca and asked in a soft voice, "Dr. Craw, do you have any skincare tips? Your skin is great!" "Drink plenty of water," Luca said.

Talia was speechless.

The technical department was on the 15th floor, and the other departments were below the 15th floor. After some people got off the elevator, the elevator was more spacious. Luca stood in the corner of the elevator and glanced at the other person standing in the elevator.

He was a middle-aged man with glasses. He seemed gentle and looked like someone with a good temperament.

It was likely that he was her colleague.

Luca sneaked a look and then retracted her gaze. The elevator soon reached the 15th floor. She walked out of the elevator and looked at the two employees standing there. One was male and one was female. She glanced at their IDs.

They were assistant researchers.

Seeing that they had arrived, the female employee welcomed them." Professors, welcome to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Mr. Crawford has prepared a welcome party for everyone, please come with me."

The two led the way. Luca was not sure whether she should follow them.

She did not expect that Luke, who never paid attention to things like this, had prepared a welcome party...

Seeing that Luca stood still, the female assistant smiled and invited her once again, "Dr. Craw, please come with me."

Luca bit the bullet and followed them.

The welcome party was held in a conference room on the 15th floor. The space was large enough. When the assistant opened the door, he said, "Dr.

Cole and Dr. Craw are here."

Luca walked in, looked at the people inside, and was stunned.

In addition to the professors she met during the interview, Luke and Jason were also here.

She sighed in her heart. She thought that Luke would not be here but it seemed that she was being naive.

Luke valued them, so how could he not show up for this welcome party?

"Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Cole Kidman. I'm excited to work alongside all of you." The man who came in with her introduced himself first.

After he was done, Luca knew that it was her turn. She had no choice but to say, "I'm Luca Craw. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you."

She was the only female researcher, and those present were all middle- aged men. There was nothing wrong with her saying that she wanted to learn from them.

Luke stood there with a glass of champagne. His thin lips curled up slightly as he raised his glass and said, "Welcome to Watson Biopharmaceuticals."

The female assistant immediately handed them two glasses of champagne.

Luca took one of them, raised it in Luke's direction, and took a sip.

Her actions were casual, but in the eyes of others, they were amorous. The eyes of many researchers were drawn to her.

Luke noticed that and was upset but did not show it. He put down his wine glass and said, "The wine and snacks here are for everyone. You can eat and drink as you wish. Today, I'll not talk about work. I just hope that everyone here will enjoy themselves." "Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Several people snapped out of it and thanked him.

Luke walked to Luca.

Luca had the urge to escape when she realized that he was coming toward her. Although the man had a smile on his mouth, his gaze was unfathomable.

She did not want to confront this unfathomable man for fear that she would give herself away.

However, in front of so many people, escaping was not an option.

Luke walked up to her and said, "Dr. Craw, please come with me."

Many of those present heard what Luke said and were taken aback. 'He wants to talk to her in private?'

When Jason, who was not far behind him, heard this, he immediately stopped. He turned around, picked up the champagne glass, and chatted with the researchers.

His boss wanted to have a private chat with Luca, so he would not be stupid enough to follow along.

He already knew about Luca taking in Tommy and could not help but sigh. The two were fated.

Luca had no choice since she was personally called out by Luke. Hence, she placed the champagne glass somewhere and followed him out.

The two walked out of the conference room one after another.

Luke did not stop and walked toward the corner of the corridor.

Luca followed him.

The two stopped at the end of the corridor.

Luca broke the silence. "Mr. Crawford, what's the matter?" "You took Tommy in?" Luke asked.

"Yeah." Luca nodded and explained, "I didn't know that he was your son but later saw that you were looking for him, so I sent him back." "I'm not holding you accountable," Luke listened to her explanation and said in a neutral tone.

Luca did not feel at ease when she heard his reply. Instead, she felt anxious, wondering what Luke thought about her taking Tommy in.

She felt helpless. She had told Tommy not to tell Luke about it but he still told him.

"Okay." Luca nodded, waiting for what Luke would say next.

"When you sent Tommy back, why didn't you show your face?" Luke asked.

"I don't want to be disturbed." Luca raised her eyes and met his gaze. She was stunned as she did not expect Luke to lower his gaze to look at her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1146- Someone Others Looked Up To

Luca noticed that her heartbeat was accelerating. Luke, who used to be aloft, rarely looked at others like this.

He did not care about others. Engaging in simple conversations would already be a test of his patience.

He had always been someone others looked upto. He never lowered his gaze for anyone.

Luke frowned. 'She thinks she would be disturbed by sending Tommy back?

Luca knew him well.

In the past, he would launch a thorough investigation into her life, but now, he had no such intentions.

"What are you hiding?" Luke put his hands in his pockets, his deep-set eyes staring straight at her.

"I’m sure Mr. Crawford has had me investigated." Luca's expression was calm. Luke did not suspect a thing.

"I didn't ask anyone to investigate you," Luke said.

Luca was a little surprised, but it was not because she was afraid that he would find out anything about her. After all, Abel got a group of people to work meticulously to make sure that there was nothing about her that would raise suspicion.

She was just surprised that he did not investigate her.

Luca was taken back. 'Maybe he didn't launch an investigation because he regards me as an ordinary employee?’

Sometimes, she hoped that Luke would discover something during his investigation and dig further. Maybe he could find something...

"Why don't you want to be disturbed?" Luke asked.

Luca put on a smile that did not reach her eyes. "Does this question have to be answered?"

Luke realized that he had asked a stupid question, but whenever he came into contact with her, he would get a strange feeling. He just knew he wanted to continue talking with her.

It did not matter what they were talking about as long as he could listen to her voice.

"No," Luke said.

Hearing his answer, Luca's expression became serious as she said, "I didn't take your son in to get anything in return, so I didn't show my face. Since you've found out, just know that I do what I want to do. Helping your son was something that I wanted to do. I have no other intentions."

She had been around Luke for many years and knew him well. If she could not provide a logical explanation, she was afraid it would be even harder to explain in the future.

"Okay." Luke was inexplicably upset when he heard her reply.

'She just wanted to help? She has no motives?’ "Also, Mr. Crawford, let's reduce the number of such private conversations in the future. I don’t want to be the topic of gossip," Luca said. Luke's actions had indirectly pushed her into the abyss.

Others would start making up stories in their heads.

She just wanted to work in peace and did not want to be looked at by others with ambiguous stares.

Luke was annoyed seeing that she wanted to draw a line between them. He squinted at the woman in front of him and said coldly, "There’s nothing between us to be gossiped about."

When Luca heard that, she took a deep breath.

The air conditioner in the corridor was strong, and the man in front of her overwhelmed her. She felt as if she had difficulty breathing and was unwilling to stay any longer, so she asked, "Mr. Crawford, can I go in now?" "Yeah," Luke said.

Luca nodded slightly at him and walked back to the conference room.

The welcome party in the conference room went on. Luca stood in the corner with a glass of champagne. She had no intention of talking to the other researchers.

They were all much older than her. If she initiated a chat, they might think she was deliberately flattering them. Besides, she was not bothered to build workplace relationships.

Luca thought that it was best if she stayed low-key.

After she walked in, Jason walked out of the conference room and Luke never came in again.

An hour later, the welcome party ended. Everyone had something to drink today, so they would not be working. The two assistants brought them around to familiarize themselves with the company's various departments and then handed them the office keycard.

After Luca received the card, she walked back to the office. The professor behind her was still discussing having lunch together. She had no intention of participating.

Dr. Cole Kidman was the head of the research department. Looking at Luca, he frowned unhappily. Although she was good-looking, her attitude was not the most welcoming.

'She was called out by the boss just now but the boss did not talk to the rest of us alone...’

Dr. Cole guessed that Luca was just another pretty face who came in through the backdoor. Thinking of this, he despised her even more.

A professor who was talking to him diverted his attention.

Luca walked back to the office and closed the door, not wanting to be disturbed.

She sat on the sofa to sober up. Even after three years, she was not much of a drinker.

An hour later, there was a knock on her office door. Luca did not stand up and asked, "Who is it?" "Dr. Craw, I'm Mo Stone. I'm here to inform you that we’ll be having lunch together at noon. Dr. Cole arranged it." A woman's voice sounded.

Mo was the female assistant who welcomed them.

Luca remembered the conversations of those middle-aged men and had no interest in attending. She stood up and opened the door while holding her forehead. "Please tell Dr. Cole that I don't feel well after drinking today. I don’t want to be a wet blanket by showing up."

Seeing her appearance, Mo nodded, turned around, and told Dr. Cole what Luca said.

When Dr. Cole heard that, his face turned sour in an instant. "She's drunk?"

Mo shook her head. She had seen how a drunk person would act. ’ Doesn't seem like it. She just seems unwell." "It doesn't matter. Since Dr. Craw doesn’t wish to join us for lunch, we shouldn't force her.” Dr. Cole was pissed, but as the leader of the department, he could not go too far no matter how furious he was. After making some thought-provoking remarks, he turned and walked out of the conference room.

Several of the researchers followed.

Mo touched her chin and told Rhett Link, who was also an assistant, "It seems that Dr. Craw has already offended Dr. Cole on her first day." "Yeah, but I can't blame her. I heard that Dr. Craw came back from Russia. Maybe the workplace culture that she’s used to is different from ours, so we can't blame her for not understanding the way things work here. On the contrary, Dr. Cole should be more understanding," Rhett replied and then called the logistics department to ask them to send someone to clean up the conference room.

"Tsk tsk, you mean that Dr. Craw didn't do anything wrong? She should learn how to fit in. Since Dr. Craw wants to develop her career here, she should understand these unspoken rules. I thought you were someone reasonable, but it seems like you've been distracted by her beauty." Mo was joking but seemed a little sour.

Rhett blushed and retorted, "Stop it with your nonsense. If Dr. Craw hears it, she might misunderstand." "Look at you blushing! Sigh, Rhett, I'm so disappointed in you. However, our company looks at capabilities, not appearance," Mo said. From the moment Luca stepped into the conference room, she noticed that Luke paid more attention to Luca than others.

The private conversation they had made her think more of the situation as well.

Rhett was reluctant to continue discussing this topic with her. "Let's stop talking about it. It won't be good if others hear it. I’ve already asked for someone to come to clean up the room. I'll head off now."

After he said that, he turned around and left.

Mo crossed her hands in front of her chest and watched as he left. She muttered in her heart that all men were the same. When they saw beautiful women, they instinctively wanted to side with them.

After Luca dismissed Mo, she closed the door and sat on the sofa again.

She held her forehead, sighed, and glanced at the time. Her phone happened to ring.

Luca looked at the unfamiliar numbers on the screen. When she finally picked up, it had been ringing for a while.

The call was from the Island of Despair. "What's the matter?" "Have you entered Watson Biopharmaceuticals?" Shanks' voice came from the phone.

"I’m in." Luca held her breath, wanting to hear what was happening on his side.

Shanks would sometimes keep Nyla by his side to take care of her.

However, Luca heard nothing except for Shanks' voice and the sound of typing on the keyboard.

"I've emailed some research materials to you. You can just continue with the research," Shanks said.

Hearing this, Luca approached her computer and opened her inbox. She saw a bunch of garbled codes.

This was an exclusive passcode from the Island of Despair.

Luca lowered her gaze and said, "This is your medical research, why are you giving it to me?"

Every one of his medical research was valuable. If he completed them, he would gain immeasurable wealth.

"Abel asked me to hand it to you." Shanks' words were crisp and clear. He did not explain any further.

Luca was speechless. He was not Abel's subordinate, so there was no need for him to follow Abel's commands.

What was more, Abel also had a pharmaceutical company. Shanks' research would bring huge benefits to the company, so why would he do this?

'Is there any shortcoming that's hard to solve in this research? Are they asking me to continue with the research and production just to cause trouble for Watson Biopharmaceuticals?' "What is he up to?" "I don't know." Shanks' answer was still brief.

Luca's heart sank. Shanks continued talking, "Just follow Abel's instructions." "I'll accept this, but I’ll conduct the research on my own without you being involved." Luca ended the call after she said that.

Her gaze was gloomy as she looked at the garbled code on the computer screen.

It could be that Abel wanted her to climb up the food chain of Watson Biopharmaceuticals, but she could not afford to take it lightly.

Luca opened the software on the phone and entered the garbled codes.

Soon enough, a document appeared in front of her.

After she saved the document, she walked out of the office with her magnetic card.

It was lunchtime, so Luca walked toward the elevator, planning to go to the company cafeteria for a bite.

While waiting for the elevator, Rhett happened to come over. "Dr. Craw, are you feeling better?" "I'm feeling much better." Luca nodded, believing that her rejection of Dr. Cole's invitation had spread throughout the department.

"That's good to hear." Rhett looked at her beautiful face and held his hands in front of him somewhat awkwardly. Luca was the only female researcher in the entire department and was a rare beauty. It was unfortunate that she appeared arrogant and cold, making it seem like she was difficult to get along with.

The elevator was still on the lower floors. Seeing that Luca was keeping quiet, Rhett asked, ‘Dr. Craw, where are you heading to?" "Cafeteria," Luca said. After drinking some wine earlier in the day, she wanted to eat something to feel better.

"Dr. Craw, I'm also going to the cafeteria. If you don't mind, I can order food and bring it up for you," Rhett said. He was on the organizing committee for the welcoming party, so it was natural that he would want to help Luca in any way that he could.

"No, I'll do it myself." Luca did not have a second thought before turning him down. She was unwilling to let people do things for her.

When the elevator reached their floor, she walked in. Rhett was still standing at the elevator door as if he was hesitating.

"Come in," Luca said.

Rhett responded, walked in, and pressed the second floor.

The elevator went all the way down. When they reached the second floor, she walked out on her own while ignoring Rhett.

Rhett looked at her and sighed. Luca appeared to be a cold boss. Although she seemed a little unkind, it did not seem too bad to work under her.

This kind of boss was less troublesome.

An idea popped up in Rhett's mind. He wanted to be Luca's assistant.

After ordering lunch, Luca found a corner with fewer people to dine in.

Talia, who had just walked into the cafeteria, saw her at a glance. She walked to the opposite side of her with her lunch and asked politely, "Dr. Craw, is anyone sitting here?" "No." Luca lowered her gaze, took a sip of soup, and did not reject her.

When Talia heard her reply, she put down her food and sat opposite her." The food in the company cafeteria looks good."

Luca did not comment on it.

Talia did not feel embarrassed at all. She was a friendly person. Even if others did not speak, she could talk for a long time. Looking at Luca's lunch, she said, "Dr. Craw, is this all you’re having for lunch?" "Yes," Luca said.

"Wow, no wonder your body is so fit.” Talia sighed. Luca had an enviable physique. She glanced around. There were not many employees around seeing that it was the first day of the company's operations. She whispered, "Dr. Craw, can I ask you some questions about the company?" "I don't know much." Luca finished the soup and wiped her moirth. The hot soup had warmed her stomach and she felt much better now.

"It's okay, I'll ask anyway," Talia smiled and said, "Is the technical department still hiring assistants?"

Her mind was fixed on being a research assistant.

Luca raised her gaze. Even though Talia had not said much, she saw through her.

"The personnel department has the final say on recruitment matters."

Talia smiled and did not mind her reply. She said, "I know that the personnel department of the company has the final say. If I have a chance, I want to fight for it. After all, I can learn a lot more in the technical department than in other departments."

To join Watson Biopharmaceuticals, she went all out preparing for the interview and agreed to go with the company's arrangements so that one day, she could enter the technical department.

Luca could see Talia's longing and noted that she seemed to have expectations for the future. She did not say anything. After eating two more bites, she stood up with her plate and said, "I'm full. Enjoy your lunch."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1148- A Scandal

Talia smiled and nodded. "Alright."

Luca returned the tray and left the cafeteria.

Talia watched as she left and thought to herself, 'Dr. Craw doesn't seem very approachable.'

She thought that she would get on her good side so she would have someone to rely on when she changed departments. Judging from the interaction earlier, she realized that it would be difficult to be Luca's friend.

She would have to find other connections to get into the Technical Department.

Back at the office, Luca switched on her computer and studied Shanks's formulae.

It was a new type of antibiotic. If the research succeeded, it would be a blessing to many people. Research on the antibiotic was eighty percent done, so she would only have to complete the last part before they proceeded with the clinical trial phase.

Luca dared not run any experiments yet in case there were certain risks. Instead, she decided that she would do the research again.

After deciding on that, Luca printed out the formulae and prepared to start working on them.

Then, she took the printouts and headed out from the office toward the research laboratory. All the technical equipment was located there.

At the research laboratory, Luca saw that Rhett was fiddling with a piece of equipment inside.

"Dr. Craw?" Rhett smiled at her and noticed the printouts in her hand. "Are you here to do research?" "Mm." Luca found a corner spot and said, "Can I sit here?" "Of course you can." Rhett nodded, feeling quite surprised.

He found her nameplate and placed it at her table. Tables in the laboratory were first come, first served. Even though she was the first to arrive at the research laboratory, she chose the worst position for herself.

Luca glanced at the nameplate. She placed some of the printouts on the table, then prepared to collect some materials she needed for her research.

"Dr. Craw, do you need any help?" Rhett asked.

"Prepare these materials for me." Luca gave him a piece of paper. On it was printed the list of apparatus she needed.

"Yes, no problem." Rhett nodded.

The two people worked busily in the research laboratory.

After taking her lunch, Mo returned to the Technical Department and heard some activity in the research laboratory. She curiously pushed the door open and went inside. Luca was sitting in a corner observing something with a microscope while Rhett was assisting her.

She could not help but chuckle derisively, thinking that Rhett was foolish to suck up to Luca so quickly.

Meanwhile, Bianca sat in a private room of a cafe, waiting for the reporter to arrive.

By the time the reporter came in through the door, he was already half an hour late.

Bianca never had to wait for other people before. She was angry that the reporter had made her wait for half an hour, but she dared not say anything.

She did not lose her temper because she had to rely on the reporter to do something she wanted.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Crawford." The reporter smiled at her. One could tell that he was plotting something.

Bianca stirred her coffee and lifted her chin slightly. "Do you want a drink?" She said coldly.

"One Blue Mountain, please." The reporter ordered the most expensive item on the menu.

"Yes, Sir. One Blue Mountain coffee coming right up." The waiter nodded and left the private room.

The reporter put his camera aside and asked Bianca, "You wanted to meet me today, Mrs. Crawford. Are you planning to pay up?" "There's no rush." Bianca wagged her hand. "Well talk about it over coffee."

The reporter understood what she meant. After the waiter brought him the coffee and left the room, Bianca said, "Tell me how much you want."

The reporter chuckled. He knew that the Crawford family was incredibly wealthy, but he dared not ask for too much in case he offended them.

"I'm not very greedy. I've already stated the price in the email," he said.

'You're not greedy? I've never seen someone as greedy as you!' Bianca thought.

"I can give you another one hundred thousand dollars on top of that," she said.

The reporter's eyes opened wide. "Another one hundred thousand?" "Yes. Do you want it?" Bianca asked.

"I have my ethics, Mrs. Crawford. I'm guessing that you want me to do something." The reporter could tell that there was no free lunch. If Bianca was willing to give him more money, it meant that he needed to do something more.

"Yes. I want you to report on it and blow it up as much as you can." Bianca said and sipped her coffee elegantly.

To gain Luke's attention, she had been learning etiquette so that she could be a match for him.

However, Luke had never paid any attention to her.

"You want to blow up the scandal?" The reporter was quite surprised. Why would the woman want to implicate her husband in a scandal?

On the other hand, he was aware of his limits. The photos themselves did not prove anything, though most wealthy individuals would rather pay up to stay away from trouble.
