Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2521-Luke made a guess at why Vivian wanted Gale and Rain by her side. "Gordan won't hurt you."

"I just want to protect myself. Just take my word for it..." Vivian lowered her gaze. She did not want to be alone with Gordan, so she used it as an excuse to ask Gale and Rain to protect her. She just wanted to have more people around when she met him.

"Okay. When?" Luke agreed without a second thought.

"Let's do it tomorrow morning. I'll go with Luca when she leaves for the office tomorrow," Vivian said. She wanted to sort things out as soon as possible so that Gordan could stop disturbing Luke.

"Mm, I'll let Luca know." Luke glanced at his watch and thought that Luca should still be awake at this hour.

"Thank you." Vivian thanked Luke.

"It's getting late. Go get some rest," Luke reminded her before he headed upstairs.

Vivian followed him up to the second floor.

The two arrived on the second floor and returned to their respective bedrooms.

After Luke washed up, he walked out of his bedroom and opened the door to Luca's bedroom.

Luca was sitting in front of the dresser going through the data files. She looked up when she heard the door open. "Mr. Crawford, you're back. I'll make you a late-night snack."

Luke shook his head, indicating that Luca did not need to do so. "I'm not hungry. Don't worry about it. What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at my research data. Since I'm moving back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals tomorrow, I'm thinking about doing my own research before the new research project starts. If it goes well, maybe it can be listed on the market." Luca lied with her eyes looking down.

While the lab now offered the opportunity for employees to run their experiments, she could not make the research too personal.

Luke decided to open the lab for everyone to encourage the researchers to do experiments and get better drug research projects.

"Mm. You'll still be going to T Corporation tomorrow, right?" Luke confirmed with her. novelbin

"Yes, there are some important documents that I don't trust the moving company to move," Luca said. She planned to carry those more important documents over herself.

"That's perfect. Vivian will meet Gordan tomorrow. Take her with you when you head to the office." Luke said.

Luca asked in surprise, "Vivian has already decided?"

"Mm, she's decided to face him." Luke nodded. He believed that it would be good for Vivian.

"It's not an easy decision to make..." Luca could not help but murmur. "I'm surprised that she made a decision so quickly."

She thought that Vivian would need more time to think about how to deal with Gordan.

"It's considered a long time." Luke saw that there was some stray hair near her ear, so he reached out his hand to help her sweep them behind her ear. "She's Ray's older sister, but she doesn't have much of Ray's thunder-like vigor and wind-like swiftness. As such, her problems with Gordan dragged on until now."

Hearing his comment, Luca could not help but look up at him. She felt like she was about to be sucked into the vortex as she looked into his mesmerizing eyes.

"Vivian is well protected by Mr. Ray, so they don't seem like siblings at all. In terms of relationships, it is not easy for a woman to break things off no matter how bad things are. It hurts her every time she sees Gordan, so it's understandable that things have dragged on until now. I just hope that their matter can be completely resolved tomorrow. If Mr. Norton doesn't love Vivian, he shouldn't keep hurting her," she said with a sigh.

Luca, like Vivian, was timid when it came to romantic relationships as well.

Although their scenarios were different, she was not much better. She could not even bring herself to be entirely honest when faced with the man she loved the most.

"You think Gordan doesn't like her?" Luke asked.

"Mr. Norton may seem very persistent, but I don't feel like he likes her. However, sometimes what we see is not necessarily the truth, such as with Nina and Mr. Percy..." Luca said.

When she was Bianca Rayne, she thought that Percy did not like Nina and that they were only together because of a deal.

Nina had no choice but to suffer in silence. As her friend, since Luca could not solve the situation, she could only choose to keep her opinion to herself.

After she was kidnapped and came back three years later, she still felt that Percy did not like Nina.

It was only a little later that she realized that what she assumed had always been wrong.

Percy was head over heels for Nina, but he expressed it in the wrong way.

'Will Gordan be another Percy? It's hard to say...'

Luca did not know if that could be true either. After all, Gordan, like Percy, was too stubborn and too good at disguising himself.

'It could be that capable men are more stubborn.'

"It's getting late. Let them deal with their matter their way. We should go to bed..." Luke hugged Luca's waist and stroked it back and forth.

Every single stroke was full of his desire for her.

"Mr. Crawford..." Luca whispered while blushing.

"Shall we go to bed?" Luke whispered in her ear. His magnetic raspy voice was seductive.

"Okay..." Luca opened her mouth slightly. Her mouth felt dry, so her voice could not help but tighten...

It was a long night of lovemaking.

The next day.

Vivian, as Luke said, followed Luca to T Corporation.

When she saw Luca holding a sealed box and carrying a briefcase in her hand, Vivian said, "Luca, let me carry it for you."

"No, Warren is right outside the door. We don't have to go too far. I can do it myself." Luca shook her head and walked through the garden with Vivian.

Vivian opened the door and found Warren standing there.

"Warren, please open the trunk of the car," Luca said. The box contained the experimental specimens and some important files.

"Okay, Dr. Craw." Warren opened the trunk quickly.

Luca carefully placed the box in the trunk and made sure that it was stable before she closed it.

"Vivian, let's go." Luca looked at Vivian, who had a timid expression. ‘We just left the house and she already looks like this...'

She could not imagine how nervous Vivian would be when she met Gordan later.

"Okay!" Vivian took a deep breath. Warren opened the door for her, and she got into the car.

Luca got on the other side of the car.

Warren drove them to T Corporation.

Luca took Vivian's hand and said, "Rain and Gale will be by your side. You have nothing to worry about."

"I'm fine. By the way, Luca, when will Gale and Rain arrive?" Vivian asked.

"I'm not sure, but I know that Mr. Crawford has already passed the message. I believe that they won't be late. They should be there before work starts." Luca guessed. The two of them were not the kind who were often late.

“Mm, can I stay in your office before they arrive?" Vivian took a deep breath. Ultimately, she did not want to face Gordan alone.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2522-"Sure thing! My office is a bit messy in preparation for the move. I hope you don't mind it," Luca said. She was moving back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals, so her office in T Corporation was a mess. There were many documents randomly stacked on the coffee table and desk.

"I don't mind as long as you let me stay until Gale and Rain come. I won't disturb you for too long." Vivian was worried that she would affect Luca’s work by staying in her office.

"You have nothing to worry about. I’ll just be sorting some documents today, so your presence won’t affect me," Luca smiled and explained to her.

"In this case, you won't be working in the same building as Mr. Crawford moving forward?" Vivian asked.

"I’m not a staff member of T Corporation to begin with. The experimental team moved here because something happened at Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Now that things have been sorted out and our research project is ready to go to the market, we’ll have to run here and there if we stay here. It’s more convenient to move back,” Luca explained to her.

"Luca, you’re so capable. I want to be like you! You’re not mediocre, and neither do you revolve your life around a person. You only work hard to fight for your future," Vivian said with adoration in her voice. After spending some time together, she realized that Luca was an amazing woman.

Few women could live their lives like Luca.

That included her, who wasted years on a man.

She would not be where she was if she had not been so obsessed with Gordan.

She had been self-aware since she was a child. Vivian knew that she was not good-looking and as such, not liked by excellent men.

Whenever a good man showed any interest in her, she would think that it was because the other party wanted to benefit from her family. As such, she had always lived a ‘safe’ life.

It was until she met Gordan that her self-aware heart suddenly awoke.

No matter how many times he refused her, she just wanted to be with him. She even begged Ray to help her.

She thought that they would be able to live a life of peace and happiness if she could lock Gordan in with marriage. However, she eventually learned that the happiness she sought and her wishful thinking meant nothing to him.

Vivian had already wasted a couple of years when she finally woke up from that dream.

"It's not too late to start now." Luca looked at her sad expression and instantly understood what she was thinking about.

Vivian was taken back and looked at Luca as she uttered, "Luca..."

"It's never too late. You start school in a few days. How about I take a day off work to send you to school?" Luca said. After Vivian and Gordan talked it out, their marriage would be over.

Ray was still in Russia, and going to a new school for the first time was important for Vivian. As such, Luca wanted to send her off to school since her family was not around.

Vivian showed a smile and pointed to the driveway. "Yes, but can I ask for a more low-key car? This car is too high-profile for school."

Luca nodded. The car that Luke assigned her was high-profile. She thought about it for a while before she said, "Mr. Crawford happens to have a relatively low-key Volkswagen. Warren, please drive that car on that day."

She opted for Warren to send them there because these were extraordinary times, and they could not afford to be sloppy.

She was unsure of when Matysh's men would make a move.

Luca felt a little downcast. Trouble had been coming for her one after another. She had not enjoyed much peace recently.

"Okay, Ms. Craw," Warren responded. He would switch cars as per their request.

Luke had already instructed him to do so. He did not need to ask for Luke's permission to do that.

Warren drove to the underground parking lot of T Corporation, turned off the engine, and said to them, "Ms. Craw, Miss Vivian, we've arrived at T Corporation."

"Okay, I won't take the stuff in the trunk as it's going to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Please help me keep it safe." Luca told Warren.

"Okay, Ms. Craw," Warren responded.

Luca looked at Vivian and said, "Let's go upstairs?"

Vivian took a deep breath, nodded, and followed Luca out of the car.

The two got on the elevator together. The elevator stopped when it reached the first floor, and the doors opened slowly.

Vivian was inexplicably nervous. Her breathing became hurried as she stared at the elevator doors. She was afraid of running into Gordan in such a small place as the elevator!

The doors opened slowly and two people walked in. Vivian was relieved when she did not see Gordan.

She could not face Gordan calmly. She wanted to meet him in a rush only because she did not want him to continue to disturb others with his unrelenting attitude.

She did not want to see him, but many reasons forced her to.

"Dr. Craw, is she a new employee?" Cheryl asked curiously when she saw a woman standing beside Luca in the elevator on the first floor.

She was curious because she thought that Vivian did not look like she belonged here. Besides, she was in close contact with the Human Resources Department and she has never heard of T Corporation hiring new employees. novelbin

"No," Luca said in a calm tone. Among those in the secretaries' office, she was only close to Tina and felt indifferent about the others.

"Then, this is..." Cheryl could not help but be curious. She pretended to be friendly and reminded Luca, "Dr. Craw, you need to register at the front desk if you want to bring a friend to the office."

She knew about Luca and Luke's relationship, so she deliberately mentioned it.

Although she was not romantically interested in Luke, Cheryl was still upset with Luca because of jealousy.

Over the years, she had seen many women who wanted to replace Bianca, but no one had ever succeeded. Luca took no time to capture the heart of her boss.

Cheryl could not help but despise Luca.

"Is that so? Are all of Mr. Crawford's friends registered?" Luca looked at Cheryl.

In T Corporation, although she did not interact with other departments, she still knew about the gossip that went around.

That included the ones about Cheryl.

"Is she the boss' friend?" Cheryl looked at Vivian in surprise and wondered if Luca was making a fool of her.

‘How could our boss have such a... um, weird-looking female friend?'

"Do they need to be registered, Ms. Lindsey?" Luca asked again.

"If it's a friend of the boss, of course not. However, I don't seem to have heard the boss say that he would have friends coming over today..." Cheryl said. She quickly made it clear that she was unsure.

"It's too troublesome to go downstairs now. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Crawford directly. If Mr. Crawford says there's no such thing, I'll take his guest down to register," Luca said. She did not want any special treatment, but if they went downstairs at this hour, many people would crowd into the elevator later. It was official working hours in 10 minutes.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2523"Dr. Craw, don't get me wrong. I don't mean it that way. Since she's the boss' guest, I'll bring her up." Cheryl thought that it was likely that Luca was bluffing her and trying to warm up to Vivian.

"Ms. Lindsey, this friend of Mr. Crawford only understands Russian..." Luca did not plan for Cheryl to bring Vivian up.

If Cheryl brought her up, Vivian might bump into Gordan at any time.

"Ah, Russian..." Cheryl had wondered why Luca was bringing Luke's friend around.

She instantly understood why when she heard that the other party only knew Russian. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Dr. Craw, you should bring her with you, then. I only know English and Italian. My Russian is not the best."

After she finished speaking, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Luca led Vivian out of the elevator.

After they got further from the elevator, Vivian asked curiously, "Luca, who was..."

"Mr. Crawford's secretary. If she takes you up, you might bump into Mr. Norton before Gale arrives," Luca explained. novelbin

"No wonder. Thank you, Luca." Vivian thanked her. She felt uncomfortable when she saw Cheryl.

She rarely had such emotions for a stranger, so she was not sure what was going on but did not take it to heart.

After Luca clocked in for work, she brought Vivian to her office, opened the door, and saw that the only seat available in the room was the sofa. She smiled and said, "Fortunately, there's still room on the

sofa. Take a seat. I'll go make two cups of coffee."

"Okay." Vivian nodded and sat down on the sofa.

After a while, Luca walked in with two cups of coffee and handed one of them to Vivian. "The quality of the company's coffee beans is not as good as Mr. Crawford's, but you can try it. If you don't like it, I'll get you some juice. "

"Thank you." Vivian grabbed the coffee, thanked Luca, and took a sip. The mellow taste reminded her of Aunt Neile's note about Luca's first-class coffee-making skills.

Even though the coffee beans in the office were not as good as those in the villa, Luca's technique and control of the water temperature allowed the aroma of the coffee beans to be fully displayed.

"It's delicious. No wonder Mr. Crawford likes it so much." Vivian could not help but sigh in admiration.

"Huh?" Luca was surprised.

"Aunt Neile mentioned that Mr. Crawford's favorite drink is the coffee that you brew. Didn't you save a cup for me last time? It tastes very good. I think that if you ever get sick of your job and want to go for something more simple, you would do great if you open a coffee shop since the coffee you make is so delicious." Vivian took another sip.

She had drunk coffee prepared by world-class coffee masters using the best coffee beans recognized by the world. She regarded herself as a coffee connoisseur. The coffee brewed by Luca was more than decent.

"That's so exaggerated. It's just an ordinary cup of coffee. It's not as good as you said." Luca thought she was simpering her.

After all, Luke liked to drink her coffee. That was because she made the coffee the way she used to.

What Luke liked was that it reminded him of Bianca.

It was not because the coffee she brewed was good.

"There's no reason for me to lie to you. It's truly delicious!" Vivian took another sip to prove that she really liked it.

Luca smiled and said, "Enjoy it. I'll go pack up the documents."

She looked at the mess in the office and did not expect that there were so many things to be moved back even though she had only spent a short time in T Corporation.

Many of them were research data on her drug. She could not throw these data away as they would still be of great use in the future. It made sense that there would be more stuff compared to when she first came over.

"Okay, do you need any help?" Vivian asked. She looked around the messy office and guessed that Luca had a lot to clean up.

"No, these documents are numbered. They may confuse you," Luca said. These numbers were only understood by researchers in their group.

"Okay, I won't cause any more trouble for you, then." Vivian smiled and looked at Luca getting busy as she sipped her coffee.

After she finished her studies, she vowed to become a strong woman like Luca.

Luca's phone rang after she had been packing up for a while.

She looked at her phone and said, "Maybe it's for you."

"What?" Vivian looked at her in confusion.

"It's an unknown local number. It's probably Gale and the others," Luca said. She picked up the call and found that the person on the other end was indeed Gale.

"Ms. Craw, is Miss Vivian in your office?"

"Yes. Have you arrived at T Corporation?" Luca looked at Vivian and turned on the phone's speaker function.

"Yes, Rain will pick up Ms. Vivian from your office right away," Gale said.

"Okay, no problem." Luca hung up the phone and said to Vivian, "Gale and Rain are already at T Corporation. They'll take you upstairs later."

"What about Gordan?" Vivian's heart could not help but tremble at the mention of his name.

"Uh, he didn't say anything about it. We'll ask Rain later," Luca said with a frown.

Five minutes later, Rain appeared at Luca's office. The office door was not closed, so she knocked on the door to alert them before she walked in. "Ms. Craw, I'm here to pick up Ms. Vivian."

"Vivian?" Luca looked at Vivian, who was deep in thought.

"Ah? Oh, I want to ask... if he's here yet?" Vivian came back to her senses and looked at Rain.

Rain knew who she was referring to. She shook her head and said, "He's not here yet, but I'm sure he's not too far away."

Vivian put on a forced smile as she said, "Let's go upstairs."

"Okay, let's go," Rain said. They were there to accompany Vivian. They obeyed their boss' instructions although they did not understand why.

"Mm." Vivian stood up.

"Vivian." Luca stopped Vivian, who was about to leave.

"Huh?" Vivian turned around to look at her.

"Vent out all your emotions and say whatever you want to say. That way, you'll walk away as the winner," Luca said. She knew that Vivian had a thousand words in her heart because of Gordan, so she hoped she could lay it all out.

"Okay, I'll definitely do that." Vivian took a deep breath and left with Rain as if she was marching to the battlefield.

Luca watched them walk off and let out a long sigh. She hoped that the conversation between Vivian and Gordan would completely unravel Vivian's sorrows.

She lowered her gaze and continued to organize the documents at hand.

She and Luke could only help so much when it came to Vivian's problems. Outsiders did not have a place to say or do anything about their relationship.

Rhett walked in with a thick stack of documents and said, "Dr. Craw, I think it's better to send these over with your car later."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2524-"Okay." Luca nodded and asked about the laboratory, "Has the equipment been packed?"

"There's still some equipment that's getting packed into boxes, Dr. Craw. Everyone got excited when they found out that we were going back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. They all said they would take this opportunity to do their research." Rhett smiled. Luke's decision raised the enthusiasm of a lot of people.

After all, everyone wanted to run their own research. Their resume would look better than others whether they stayed at Watson Biopharmaceuticals or went looking for other jobs in the future.

Luca smiled. "Are all of your boxes labeled?"

"It's already done." Rhett glanced at the box in his arms which had been sealed with clear tape and had a label on it.

"You can put it here first. I'll bring them to the car once I'm done packing up here," Luca said as she continued to pack up her documents.

She sorted and packed the documents ahead of time so she could unpack them quickly when she returned to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

"Okay." Rhett put the box on the ground, saw the documents on Luca's desk, and asked, "Dr. Craw, do you need my help?"

"No, I'm about to be done sorting these things out. You should go to the lab and help them. The transportation company will be here soon. It's not good if we make them wait too long. You're detail- oriented, so make sure that nothing goes wrong." Luca shook her head. She did not ask him to help.

"Okay." Rhett smiled and walked out of her office.

Luca continued to pack up.

At the same time, Vivian was brought to the top floor office by Rain.

"Ms. Vivian, we'll wait inside, okay?" Rain opened the door of the meeting room and asked for her opinion.

"Okay, thank you." Vivian walked into the reception room. Gale was the only one there, so her uneasy heart could relax once more.

However, she knew that it was only temporary relief. She would not be relaxed once Gordan appeared.

"Miss Vivian, good morning. Have you had breakfast yet?" Gale smiled warmly. He remembered Luke's instructions.

No matter what happened and what Gordan said, they had to be on Vivian's side.

If Gordan went too far, he and Rain were allowed to take action against Gordan.

As a man, Gale sympathized with Gordan's situation, but there was no other way. They listened to the boss's orders, not Gordan's.

"I've eaten. I'm sorry to call you both here so early..." Vivian said. Her voice was buzzing toward the end of her sentence as she was embarrassed.

Among all of Luke's subordinates, she was most familiar with Gale and Rain. She had even conversed with Rain before. She thought of involving them to keep up appearances so that things would not be too awkward when she saw Gordan.

"It's okay. Take a seat. I'll ask a secretary to pour you a cup of coffee," Gale said. He picked up the phone in the reception room and asked someone from the secretaries' office to bring them three cups

of coffee.

After five minutes, the door to the reception room was pushed open.

Vivian's heart skipped a beat. It was almost like a nervous reflex as she looked up at the door.

Cheryl came in with their coffee.

Vivian breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that it was not Gordan because she was not prepared mentally to face him!

Cheryl placed the coffee in front of the three of them respectively. She knew Rain and Gale but did not expect that Vivian would be with them.

‘Wasn't she just downstairs with Luca?'

"Ms. Lindsey, thank you. You can get back to your work." Rain saw Cheryl staring at Vivian and thought that Cheryl was being rude, so she cleared her throat to remind her.

"Okay. The three of you, please enjoy your coffee and call me if you need anything." Cheryl retracted her gaze and walked out with the tray in her hand.

Gale was familiar with the place, so he did not feel restrained. After finding a comfortable sitting position, he took a sip of coffee and said, "Tsk, the coffee made by Ms. Lindsey is average."

"Just be happy that someone served you coffee. Don't be picky." Rain rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm just telling the truth. Coffee made by Tina or Mr. Doyle is decent. Look at how picky the boss is, yet he would still drink coffee made by the two of them. However, Ms. Lindsey's " Gale did not go on.

After all, Cheryl was not part of their team at T Corporation. He knew when to stop talking.

Vivian took a sip of coffee and said softly, "Luca's coffee is delicious too."

Gale and Rain exchanged glances.

Of course, they knew the coffee brewed by Luca was wonderful, but they could not drink it either...

Their boss was possessive, so it would be like the sun rising from the west if they could one day taste Luca's cooking and brewed coffee again. It was something that neither one of them could imagine.

Vivian looked at them and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? You don't believe me?"

"No, we believe you." Rain smiled. ‘It's just that... the coffee brewed by our boss' lover is not something we have easy access to.'

They had not had much contact with Luca so as to not arouse the suspicion of Luca and those from the Island of Despair.

The chance of them drinking a cup of coffee brewed by Luca was equal to zero.

The door to the conference room was pushed open again, and Gordan walked in.

Vivian held the cup in her hand in a daze. The coffee was still hot, but she did not feel it.

She was so anxious that she forgot that her hand was burning.

'Gordan has lost a lot of weight since I last saw him...'

Nevertheless, he was still the same bad boy. Vivian looked at the jewelry hanging from his neck, and her eyes got inexplicably moist.

Gordan wore jewelry around his neck all year round. She was the one who helped to choose and buy him jewelry in the years that they were together.

Vivian did not like him wearing other accessories and would secretly put them away.

Gordan found out but did not say anything and continued to wear the accessories she had chosen for him.

At that time, Vivian was overjoyed thinking that Gordan did not hate her as much as she thought. Otherwise, he would not wear the accessories that she bought.

At this moment, the necklace around Gordan's neck was no longer the one that she got.

It seemed that he hated her very much, so everything on him had nothing to do with her.

Gale stood up, looked at Gordan, and said, "You're here? Want some coffee?"

"No, I've had mine." Gordan chose to sit opposite Vivian. He looked at the two people around her and could not help but tease, "What are they doing here? Are they your bodyguards?"

"I asked them to come. They'll be here for the entire conversation." Vivian summoned the courage and said the first sentence of her dialogue with Gordan.

That was the first sentence she said to him after she signed the divorce agreement.

Vivian lowered her gaze. She was overwhelmed with sadness. If things had not boiled down to this, she would never throw in the towel on Gordan. She forced herself to let go and stopped stalking him, but Gordan cornered her time and time again, leaving her nowhere to run.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2525-Gordan sneered and replied, "I can’t believe you brought bodyguards. What's the matter? Do you think I’ll hurt you?"

Vivian did not speak. She looked up at him and then lowered her head again.

Seeing Gordan being so aggressive, Rain could not help but say, "Don't you have something to talk about? Get straight to it. Enough with the nonsense."

"Gordan, please mind your words," Gale also said. Although their marriage was unfortunate, it was too cruel for him to speak to Vivian like that.

Even if they could not be husband and wife, they did not need to be enemies.

Gordan's slender legs were folded together. He felt inexplicably unhappy when he saw Vivian's submissive appearance. novelbin

After so many years, she was still the same as before. She was obedient like a mouse seeing a cat in front of it. It annoyed him.

He thought that something would have changed since she could summon the courage to file for a divorce and even leave the property to him to humiliate him.

He was disappointed...

She was meant for more in life. Although her looks may be unsatisfactory, her other qualities were thousands of times better than others. However, she looked like a coward whenever she faced him.

Even after their divorce, she was still the same.

"Okay, let’s talk." Gordan opened the briefcase, took out a stack of documents, and threw them on the coffee table. "This is your villa. Sign it and take it back. Then we're done."

Vivian looked away. She knew that Gordan only insisted on talking to her because of the villa.

He thought she was humiliating him by leaving him a villa that she paid for.

However, she simply wanted to give him things that he liked.

The villa was designed according to Gordan's preferences. After the divorce, he would travel frequently to attend to tasks, so she thought there was no need to transfer the villa since he would not be there much either.

Vivian's heart felt sour.

Gordan started the conversation by talking about the house. There were no unexpected topics. ‘Why does he hate everything that I left him...’

She smiled bitterly as he seemed to hate her present.

"The house is yours. If you don't want it, just dispose of it. You don't have to give it back to me," Vivian said. She was unwilling to sign the agreement.

"Hmph, we're divorced but you still have so many tricks up your sleeve. Even if I dispose of the house, it'll still be under my name. It'll still be a humiliation to me. Okay, since you don't want the house, just sign the auction agreement. The final auction price will be donated to charity," Gordan said as he took another document from his briefcase.

He had already asked his lawyer friends to help prepare these two documents.

No matter what others or Vivian said, he did not want the villa.

Rain sat aside and could not help but wonder what was wrong with her leaving the house for him since they bought it together as a husband and wife.

It was many men's dream villa, but Gordan scorned it.

Vivian did not want the villa either.

Rain thought that the two of them were weird.

Vivian raised her gaze and looked at the two documents on the coffee table. She felt inexplicably sad.

Even if he wanted to dispose of the villa, he wanted it to be under her name. He would wait for the auction of the villa and then donate the auction funds. He would not participate in the whole process.

That was how Gordan distanced himself from her...

Vivian was sad but also helpless.

Neither of the two said a word. The atmosphere in the reception room turned awkward.

In the end, Gale had to clear his throat and persuade him, "Gordan, can't you handle it yourself?"

"I didn't want this thing to begin with. Why should I handle it?" Gordan's expression was full of disgust, and his tone of voice carried a hint of contempt.

His words shattered Vivian's already broken heart even more.

She caressed her arm helplessly. She had no other choice since Gordan's attitude was firm. "Okay, I'll handle it."

Gordan's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard her.

‘How is she so obedient? Is she plotting something?'

Just as Gordan got suspicious, Vivian picked up the folder that he slammed on the coffee table and signed her name on the back without reading the contents of the document.

She was not worried that Gordan would trick her.

'He doesn't want the villa and is eager to cut off all contact with me. I doubt he'll cheat me.'

He would only try his best to cut off all ties with her.

"The document has been signed. I'll personally send it to our Russian lawyer and let him deal with the house. Are you satisfied now?" Vivian tried her best to control the trembling in her voice.

Gordan was unlikely to look for her again after the matter of the villa was settled.

She thought that it was fine. She needed a new life, and Gordan needed to get rid of the trauma that she left him.

If Gordan had not seen her sign the agreement, he would not have believed that the matter could be solved so easily. He nodded slightly. He had a cold and arrogant expression on his face.

Gale, who was on the side, said, "Gordan, anything else that you want to say?"

"No," Gordan said. Things went too smoothly. He thought Vivian would use the villa against him and never let him go.

It was not like her to be so clear-cut.

'Is Vivian actually going to let go of our relationship?'

Gordan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but it was only for a second. He returned to a cold mood as he thought it was better for her to let go. He did not want to have anything to do with her anymore.

Gale nodded, then his eyes fell on Vivian. "Ms. Vivian, if all is well from your end, Rain will take you home now."

"Okay." Vivian lowered her gaze and stood up. Since Gordan had nothing to say to her, she could not say anything about the matter anymore.

Even if she had a thousand words in her heart, she was in no position to say them. Since she decided to give up, those words would have to rot in her heart rather than be told to that man.

Rain followed her and got up. When they were about to leave, she gave Gordan a look of contempt.

Women were often the ones who suffered in a marriage, and women were also the ones who hurt more after a divorce. Rain thought that Gordon had a responsibility to bear for how Vivian was.

Gordan noticed Rain's disdain and frowned. He knew it had something to do with Vivian.

'How can such an ugly woman win everyone's hearts wherever she goes? I really can't understand why Luke and Luca both defend her like that.'

"Wait a minute," Gordan said slowly.

Vivian, who was about to open the door, froze. Her hand stayed put on the metal door handle but she said nothing.

Rain turned around and said to Gordan impatiently, "Didn't you say you were done talking?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Gordan gave Rain a warning look. Even if Gale was there, he was not afraid to fight the two of them since he had experience doing so. He was fine being beaten up and

having to hide at home. He looked at Vivian's frail body and asked "What cigarette brand did you buy before?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2526-Before Vivian could answer, Rain could not help but make fun of Gordan, "Aren't you very capable? Can't you find out yourself?"

Gordan frowned as he was displeased that Rain stood up for Vivian, even if it was because she empathized with her as a woman.

Nevertheless, Rain worked for Luke, so he could not say anything. All he could do was stare at Vivian's back.

After a few seconds, Vivian took a deep breath and replied, "It's a Nordic brand, Maslikon. The most expensive one."

"Okay," Gordan responded simply but frowned.

Vivian seemed to have lost a lot of weight. As he continued to stare at her, he thought that her appearance had changed after this major event.

Vivian put on a sad smile. She did not dare to turn around and look at Gordan again, so she pulled on the door handle and walked out of the reception room.

Cheryl was walking toward the room when she saw Vivian and Rain. She stepped to the side of the corridor and greeted them respectfully, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, please clean up the cups in the reception room," Rain said.

"Okay." Cheryl lowered her gaze. She waited for the two to leave, walked into the pantry, and picked up the tray before she reentered the reception room.

She was stunned when she saw Gordan there.

‘Does Gordan know the woman from just now? What's the relationship between the two?'

Cheryl could not help but imagine.

'The two of them don't look like they're related, so... could it be a working relationship? After all, a handsome man like Gordan would never be interested in that ugly woman.'

"What are you doing?" Gale frowned when he saw Cheryl standing in the doorway.

"Mr. Gale, I'm here to clean up the room," Cheryl said as she glanced at the coffee cups on the coffee table.

The coffee was not great, so Gale nodded and said, "Go for it."

"Yes." Cheryl put all the coffee cups on the tray. Her heartbeat could not help speeding up when she saw Gordan frowning. She thought that he looked amazing even when he frowned and that she would be proud to bring him out as her boyfriend!

"Mr. Norton, do you want coffee?" Cheryl asked shyly.

Gordan's mood was gloomy, and he firmly refused her, "No." novelbin

"Okay." Cheryl was a little disappointed. Tina had made him coffee when he was in Luke's office. She wanted to make him a cup of coffee herself, but unfortunately, the man in front of her did not seem to be in a good mood.

She left with the tray.

Gale picked up the transfer agreement that remained, flipped through it, and tsked. "This villa is expensive."

"So what?" Gordan leaned against the sofa and looked at him.

"This is a house that other people dream of, but you want absolutely nothing to do with it. You can handle the sales of the villa yourself, so why must you have Miss Vivian handle it herself?" Gale did not understand what was on their minds.

The two of them did not want that house and treated it like it was a hot potato. Gordan wanted to throw it away immediately.

It had been dealt with now, but Gale felt that Gordan was still not in a good mood.

"That's her villa, of course, she should be the one handling it." Gordan frowned, snorted coldly, and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Gale stood up.

"I'm heading to the CEO's office. Do you want to come along?" Gordan wanted to talk to Luke.

"Boss' office? I'll go with you. I have something to report to him." Gale walked out the door with Gordan.

"How much did that woman pay you two to be her bodyguards and for Rain to speak for her?" Gordan was a little unhappy, so his voice was muffled. 'Why was I attacked by Rain?'

"She didn't pay us anything. The boss asked us to do it. As for Rain, maybe it's because they're both women, so she's not happy with your behavior." Gale guessed. Even if he was a man, he felt Gordan should not have done that and was acting stupid.

"How could Luke be like this? I don't know what that woman did to him. He's not taking my side at all." Gordan could not help but feel resentful.

He hated women talking back to him. It bruised his ego. However, his supposedly gentlemanly demeanor did not allow him to hit women for no reason.

"If you think about it, the boss is on your side." Gale frowned and spoke for Luke.

Gordan rolled his eyes at him before he said, "You're his subordinate. Of course, you would say such things."

"If the boss isn't on your side, he wouldn't let you be in his office every day. He would be sure to kick you out if you were someone else, even if you sat without a word for a whole day. The boss didn't do that no matter how much noise you created in his office. Isn't he helping you? If it weren't for you disturbing his work, Ms. Vivian probably wouldn't have agreed to see you and the house would still be under your name," Gale said.

Gordan frowned. 'It seems like he has a point.'

Luke was helping him indirectly.

After all, Vivian's temperament did not allow her to trouble others because of her matters.

As such, hanging around Luke's office was a hundred times better than waiting at the gate of the community.

Luke prepared a meal for him likely because he knew that Vivian would help with cooking and would eventually find out that he had been frequenting Luke's office.

Gordan was speechless when he thought of the steak he prepared the other day.

Luke was the one that proposed for them to have steak...

It seemed that his arrangement was clever and natural. Even he did not notice his true intentions for a while.

Gale patted him on the shoulder seeing that Gordan did not say a word. "Now you realize that the boss has made the appropriate arrangements."

After he said that, he knocked on the door of Luke's office, got a response, opened the door, and walked in.

"Boss, Rain and I have completed the task you assigned us," Gale said.

Luke nodded and looked at Gordan, who walked in from behind Gale. His expression was neither happy nor relaxed, so Luke asked, "Things didn't go how you wanted it to?"

"No, the hot potato is gone." Gordan likened the house to a hot potato.

Luke shook his head and did not continue talking.

Gale closed the office door and went straight to it. "Boss, when our men were monitoring Matysh yesterday, they found several more people entering and leaving his guest room. It seems that he'll be making a move soon enough."

"How's the investigation going?" Luke looked at Gordan. He did not only ask Ray and the others to investigate blackmail material on Matysh in Russia, but he also asked Gordan to help on the matter.

After all, the two had fundamentally different investigation methods.

"We're getting somewhere. Give me another day. Maybe he'll be deported before he can do anything," Gordan said.

"That fast?" Gale could not help but wonder.

"Of course. I have my intelligence network. Once the information is verified, it can be handed over to the relevant departments. However, we may be against Marcos' wishes if we deal with the matter as

such," Gordan said.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2527-Marcos knew what Matysh had done to his parents in the past, so he wanted him slaughtered.

He said he was happy to leave it to Luke. He would not intervene and would even help.

However, if Matysh was deported, Luke and the others would not be able to take revenge on Matysh, which went against Marcos' wishes.

Luke thought about it for a while before he said, "Continue with your search. Get all the evidence, then we'll discuss the next steps."

Gordan nodded. Conducting investigations was his forte. novelbin

Gale added, "Boss, Rain and I will continue to follow Matysh as well as those from the organized crime family."

"Yeah." Luke nodded. Even if the enemy did not make a move, they could not afford not to. He had to protect Luca before Matysh did anything to her.

After Gale updated him on Matysh, Luke looked at Gordan and asked, "Where's Vivian now?"

"Rain took her home," Gale said and looked at Gordan.

Gordan noticed that they were both looking at him, so he touched his face. He frowned and said, "What are you two looking at me for?"

"Nothing. Boss, if all is well, I'll head off now." Gale retracted his gaze and reported to Luke.

"Mm." Luke did not stop him.

After Gale left, Gordan continued to slump on the sofa. He patted the leather cushion beside him and sighed comfortably. “Luke, when my apartment is ready, send me a sofa from this brand."

"Your apartment? Are you going to settle down in A City?" Luke raised his eyebrows. Before Gordan got married, he lived all over the world and had no real estate.

It was not that he had no money. He simply did not like to buy real estate because even if he did, he would not stay for more than a few days due to the nature of his work.

Gordan did not buy properties to leave them vacant in hopes that they would appreciate in value.

"I'm not settling down here, but my work will probably not be too far from here. I'm used to living in a house, so I'm not used to living in hotels now," Gordan said. He picked up the phone to ask his Nordic friends to help him buy cigarettes.

He had not been smoking that brand since Vivian left, so he felt as though something was missing.

"Vivian will be here for four or five years." Luke opened a file and reminded him.

"So what? Can't I be here if she's in A City? A City isn't hers," Gordan said indifferently. He was a little puzzled as to why they kept talking about Vivian today.

He kept hearing so much about her!

Whenever they mentioned Vivian, he could not help but think of her frail back, and he would feel irritable. He wanted nothing more than the name 'Vivian' to disappear from his life.

"Others might think that you suddenly have feelings for Vivian," Luke said something intriguing.

"How is that possible?!" Gordan's reaction became a little bigger.

"Huh." Luke stopped talking.

Gordan suddenly felt uncomfortable as though his heart was being scratched. He said, "Enough with the nonsense. If I hear any rumors going around, I'll make sure you get what's coming for you."

"Feel free." Luke was not afraid that Gordan would cause him trouble.

"I really will." Gordan knew Luke was not one to gossip, but he was still worried that he would be involved with Vivian once more.

He finally got rid of her after she gave up on her own initiative. The situation that Luke mentioned would never happen.

"Who knows?" Luke said, his gaze still cold.

Gordan thought that Luke did not believe him. He got more and more irritated. He could not sit still and stood up. "That's it. After my apartment is ready, you'll buy me a sofa just like this one.”

"No problem," Luke agreed. He could afford a sofa.

Gordan had been helpful with the matter surrounding Matysh.

"I'm heading off. Go buy it now," Gordan said. He had been looking at real estate online for the past few days and finally had time to make a decision.

When he got to the door, he stopped and turned around to look at Luke. "I almost forgot the other thing. You asked me to find Marcos' mother and we're getting there. Someone has seen a woman like that in the suburbs, but the suburbs are large and people move around a lot. It'll still take some time to find her.”

"Got it," Luke said. It was good news, but he was not planning to tell Marcos anything yet.

There were a lot of people in the suburbs who came and went every day. Some people may have seen her before, but she may not be there now.

Luke planned to wait until Gordan had definite news before he would tell Marcos.

Luke watched Gordan leave, and his gaze was deep.

His men had been looking for so long, but there has been no news. When Gordan came in to help, they made progress.

Gordan was great at finding people. Even if he had been trapped in Russia for a few years, he had never lost his skills or channels.

Gordan's decision to stay in A City, whether it was because of Vivian or not, was good news for Luke.

Luke lowered his gaze and continued to scan through the documents.

Gordan walked into the elevator and suddenly thought of Luca, so he pressed the button to get to the floor where the laboratory was.

The elevator doors opened slowly, and he walked casually to Luca's office.

"Why is everything so messy?" Gordan looked at the boxes piled on the ground. There were several cardboard boxes on the desk, and Luca was loading documents into them.

When she heard Gordan's voice, Luca raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Norton, are you done talking with Vivian?"

"There was nothing to talk about. She's willing to take the villa back, so there's nothing else that we need to talk about." Gordan smiled.

Luca could think of how cold he acted based on his tone even if she was not there. She frowned and said, "I can't believe you don't want such a nice villa."

"I don't need a woman to support me. Are you planning to move offices?" Gordan asked.

He was in Luke's office when he was arranging for the moving company to come. He could clearly see the displeasure on the other's face.

Nevertheless, even if he was unhappy, he still made the necessary arrangements for them.

"Yeah." Luca put the last document into the corresponding cardboard box before she picked up the transparent tape next to it and started to seal the boxes.

"There are so many documents here. Do you need help?" Gordan asked.

Luca looked Gordan up and down for a while. Even though he and Vivian had divorced, he was still bullying her.

Perhaps she could avenge Vivian.

"I'm glad to hear that you're free. I have to move not only these boxes but also a lot of the equipment in the laboratory. Thanks for the trouble, Mr. Norton," Luca said with a smile.

Gordan looked at the smile on her face and suddenly had a bad feeling.

'Maybe I shouldn't have offered to help...'

"Isn't there a moving company hired to move these?" Gordan asked. He thought that Luke must have arranged for someone to move the boxes as he would not be so stingy.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2528-“Yes. But there's a saying in A City that many hands make light work. The workers of the moving company will be helping, and so will be the ones working in the lab. Thank you, Mr. Norton." Luca did not give him the chance to reject her.

It was all because he kept forcing Vivian when she had already given in.

Gordon noticed the smirk on Luca's face and realized he would get into trouble just for trying to be helpful. novelbin

The reason Gordan got himself in trouble was that Luca was siding with Vivian, and she thought he was bullying her.

Gordan could not help but wonder. Was he not the one who got bullied pretty badly for the past few years?

Even though Vivian listened to everything he said, Ray had never gone soft on him.

Ray was not the only one. There were also his subordinates. As a man, Gordan felt hard done by them for living his life that way for the last couple of years.

“I might as well go the extra mile since I'm already here,” replied Gordan. He refused to believe the equipment would be that heavy.

Furthermore, there were so many boxes filled with documents here. He could carry the lighter ones first. Half of the equipment in the laboratory had probably been moved away.

Luca smiled, nodded, and sealed the last box with transparent scotch tape.

Rhett was about to walk into Luca's office when he noticed that Gordan was there. Hence, he stopped at the door and informed Luca, “Dr. Craw, everything in the lab has been packed. We're going to carry

them downstairs now.”

“Okay. This is Mr. Norton. He came to help us move the things. After everything has been moved into the car, any researcher who has an empty seat in their car can give Mr. Norton a lift. He'll help us to carry the equipment upstairs later,” said Luca.

“I didn't say..." Gordan was about to say that he only told her that he would help them to carry the things downstairs, but he did not promise to carry them upstairs at the new place.

“Mr. Link, please take Mr. Norton to the lab to help out," Luca interrupted him heartlessly.

Gordan should not have bullied Vivian. Luca would use him as free labor today!

Gordan was hesitant to speak. He felt dissatisfied, but he let go of his clenched fists at the thought of Luca being the woman Luke loved.

He had no choice but to resign to his fate.

What could he do to Luca? Luca did not lay a finger on him. He could not do anything to her.

Sure enough, men should stay away from women. Otherwise, they would become unfortunate.

Rhett was confused. He felt like something was wrong with Luca today.

There were workers from the moving company here to move the laboratory equipment, and the researchers were here to help too. There was no need to ask someone else to help.

Besides, the man in front of him did not look like an ordinary person. Could he really help to carry things?

“Dr. Craw..." Rhett wanted to confirm with her. Was she really not joking with him?

Luca knew what Rhett wanted to say. She nodded and replied, "Mr. Norton was trained before. He can carry heavy stuff. He found out that I'll be moving back to Watson. That's why he took the initiative to offer some help. Don't worry about it. He told me he'll take it as an exercise, right, Mr. Norton?"

Gordan forced a smile. He had never said such things before! However, he was being pushed to do something that was entirely beyond his capability now. Gordan had no choice but to go along with what Luca said. "Whatever you say."

"Mr. Link, bring Mr. Norton there." Luca turned to look at Rhett.

Rhett nodded and said to Gordan, "Mr. Norton, this way, please."

Gordan stomped out of the office angrily.

Luca watched the two of them leave. She pondered for a moment and decided to report to Luke about it. [Mr. Crawford, I'm asking Mr. Norton to assist me for a while.]

[What did you ask him to do?] Luke replied with confusion. Was she not supposed to be busy packing her documents? Why would she need Gordan's help?

[There's a lot of equipment here, and they're heavy. So I asked Mr. Norton to help us to move the equipment. Is that alright?] Luca asked. She knew Gordan currently worked for Luke now. Hence, she thought of asking for his permission.

After all, Luke's matters were more important.

Luca did not want to hold Luke up just because she was intentionally winding Gordan up.

[As you wish.] Luke replied unconcernedly after he found out that Luca was standing up for Vivian.

Gordan did not have anything to do today. Otherwise, he would not have thought of buying a property here.

Not only could he satisfy Luca's desire for revenge by providing free labor, but it could also be the remuneration for the sofa at the same time. It was a great idea.

Luca smiled since Luke was fine with it. She piled up two paper boxes and was ready to carry them downstairs,

They had already started moving things in the laboratory. She should be making a move too.

After Rhett brought Gordan to the laboratory, he chose a box and carried it quietly.

A few researchers noticed a stranger in the laboratory. However, the way Gordan dressed looked expensive and classy. They could not help but wonder who the man was.

Rhett did not explain anything either. He said to Gordan, “Mr. Norton, please follow the workers from the moving company downstairs. I'll help Dr. Craw with her stuff first."

There were many boxes in Luca's office. If Rhett did not help her, Luca would have to go back and forth a few times.

The box Gordan was carrying in his hands was a little heavy, but it was fine for him as he had been training for a long time. Thus, he nodded to tell Rhett he heard him.

Rhett immediately left.

Rhett came to Luca's office. Then, he saw her piling two boxes together and was about to carry them downstairs. He quickly said, "Dr. Craw, let me help you."

"Help me carry some of these." Luca did not put the boxes she carried down. She headed straight to the elevator.

Zoey was waiting in the elevator hall, helping them to press the elevator button.

Zoey exclaimed when she saw Luca carrying two boxes as she walked toward her, "Dr. Craw, why are you carrying these too? Leave it to the men."

"These are just documents. They're not heavy. Ms. Davis, please press the elevator button for me. I'm heading to the basement parking lot. Thanks," replied Luca.

The concept of what men should do or what women should not do did not exist in Luca's world.

She only knew that everyone should do things to the best of their ability.

Hence, the weight training she had received when she was on the Island of Despair came in handy now.

"Okay." Zoey quickly pressed the elevator button.

Luca got into the elevator and came to the basement parking lot. Then, she put all the important documents into the car trunk.

Warren was about to help Luca when he saw her carrying the boxes, but Luca stopped him and said, "These are important documents. I need you to stay put and keep an eye on me."

That was why the moving company was not responsible for carrying these documents and moving them to Watsons Biopharmaceuticals.

"Okay..." Warren had no choice but to agree with her.

Luca and Rhett went up and down five times. Only then did they move all the boxes downstairs.

After that, Rhett went back to the laboratory to check on the others, while Luca asked Warren to drive her to Watson Biopharmaceuticals first.

The car slowly left T Corporation. Luca could not help but turn around and glance at the building a few times. Luca had been working at T Corporation for some time, and she was reluctant to leave.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2529-There were lots of memories in T Corporation. Most of them were the moments she spent with Luke.

Luca was weak yet greedy. She was worried the others would spread rumors when they saw her together with Luke. She was also afraid that her affection for Luke would put them in a difficult situation eventually. That was why she previously tried to push him away.

However, she wanted to stay by Luke's side day and night.

The two of them got together again in T Corporation...

Luca slowly withdrew her gaze and stared outside the car window. The street view outside the window streamed by as they fell behind. She wondered what could be waiting for her once she returned to her office in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

"Warren," Luca called out with a faint voice.

“Yes, Ms. Craw. Is there anything I can help with?" Warren was focused on the situation on the street while he drove. This way, he could find out if someone was following behind them at the first instance.

"Drive another car that doesn't attract so much attention when you send me to work and pick me up next time," said Luca.

Watson Biopharmaceuticals was different from T Corporation. Other than the seniors who drove luxury cars, the other cars were low-profile and less eye-catching.

Especially the cars of those few research professors.

They did academic research too, so they were not allowed to drive cars that were too luxurious when heading to the office.

Hence, Luca did not want to attract the others' attention either.

"Okay, Ms. Craw," replied Warren. There were many cars in Luke's garage, and there were also modified cars that were used for unexpected situations.

Luca closed her eyes and said, "I'm getting some rest. Wake me up when we arrive at Watson Biopharmaceuticals."

"Okay, Ms. Craw. Don't worry." Warren slowed down the car to drive more steadily.

On the other hand.

Gordon was feeling tired after he helped to move all the equipment in the laboratory.

Although he had trained a lot, it was more tiring than exercising as he had to come back and forth several times to carry the things.

However, Rhett did not intend to let him leave. He arranged for one of the researchers to take Gordan to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Gordon gritted his teeth at the thought of Luca's face. There was no doubt that Luca was taking revenge!

Luca would continue to be mad at him if he did not help out till the very end. She might come up with another way to torture him in the future.

Besides, Luke was taking her side...

People often said that a man should not offend any woman, especially his girlfriend, wife, or best friend. It was true.

Gordon's ex-wife had many women siding with her.

It upset Gordan even more when he thought of Vivian still having people supporting her despite being alone in A City, somewhere she was not familiar with.

Gordan had no choice but to listen to Luca's arrangement to calm her nerves and stop her from looking for trouble with him.

Hence, Gordan followed one of the researchers into a car.

A researcher took a bottle of water out and handed it to Gordan. “Mr. Norton, there's no beverage in the car. Have some water."

Even though the weather was cold, Gordan had sweated a lot when he was carrying things up and down. He took the bottle of water from the researcher, opened the lid, and gulped half of the bottle down.

The researcher started the car engine and headed to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

"Is it tiring to work for Luca?" Gordan asked in a lazy tone. He thought since Luca tended to hold grudges against people and she was completely different from how she used to be, it must be tiring to work for her.

"No," answered the researcher.

Gordan narrowed his eyes with confusion and said, "There's no one here except us. You can be honest. I'm not going to tell her."

"Mr. Norton, I'm telling the truth. Dr. Craw is a kind person. Besides, her scientific research level is high. We usually don't encounter any problems when we're working for her. Most of the research process and research data would pass successfully in one attempt. It's completely different from what the other teams are facing," said the researcher.

His former classmate was in the same batch as him. That friend was assigned to a different team guided by another professor. Everything was difficult when they were doing their research.

Something was always wrong with the research data. That was why they had to repeat the experiment and analysis a few times. Sometimes, they would be stuck with a problem for a week or two.

Their research was not going well, so their superior would get stressed out and pressure them too.

Eventually, they were asked to work overtime. They had to get scolded by the professor too. It was a misfortune.

Gordan let out a tsk when he heard what he said.

He knew the woman Luke was in love with was not an easy person, but he did not expect Luca to be more capable after she got kidnapped by the Island of Despair. She even studied drugs now.

It seemed like Luke had great taste in women.

Gordan had heard someone talking about Luke and Luca's relationship before. It looked like they were pretty much meant for each other since high school...

Luke could decide the right woman he was going to marry so quickly. He was shrewd, indeed!

Still, it sent a shiver down Gordan's spine when he recalled how Luca would still stand up for others.

Women were scary. One would rather fight with ten men than piss a woman off.

The researcher thought Gordan did not believe it and repeated, “Mr. Norton, I'm telling the truth. Dr. Craw is much easier to talk to compared to other professors. Even if someone encounters a problem during the research, she wouldn't get angry at them. Instead, she would think of a way to solve the problem with us. Sometimes, she does much more than what the researchers do."

"Alright, alright. I know you're telling the truth." Gordan was not interested in Luke's woman. He only asked about Luca only because he thought she was not someone to be messed with.

Especially since she was a woman who had been on the Island of Despair before.

Luca had been there, and so had Rain.

The researcher noticed that Gordan seemed uninterested in Luca's matter. Hence, he asked with curiosity, "Oh, Mr. Norton, why would you offer to help us move?"

"I was asked to," replied Gordan.

"I see.." The researcher glanced sideways and sized Gordan up. He did not look like someone who would help others to carry things.

Gordan added when he noticed the researcher refusing to believe what he said, "Your boss asked me to help. Not Dr. Craw, but your boss."

"Mr. Crawford?" the researcher asked.

"Yes." Luke sent him a message to ask him to do his job and not mess up Luca's arrangement after Gordan carried one of the boxes downstairs.

The moment he saw the message, he only wanted to scold Luke for putting relationships before his friend.

However, the message Luke sent to him after that calmed him down.

Luke told him that he would give him a bed that had the same quality as the sofa.

The sofa was expensive, and the bed would certainly be even more expensive. That was why Gordan stopped himself from scolding him on impulse.

"I see." It dawned on the researcher as he showed his expression. It was their boss' arrangement. That was why this classy-looking man was willing to work so hard.

Gordan took his phone out and realized the agent had sent him a few messages. There were also a few missed calls.

He did not notice his phone ringing as he was carrying things.

Gordan replied to the message and postponed the appointment to four in the afternoon. It would be almost noontime when he finished helping carry the equipment.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2530-Gordan began to carry the equipment again after they arrived at Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

It was already noon when they finished moving everything.

Gordon glanced at the time and thought to himself, no matter what that

This time, he had to rip Luca off for once!

Gordon asked the researcher who sent him here just now to find out where Luca's office was.

The office door was not closed, and the office was as messy as it was in T Corporation. Several boxes were on the floor, while Luca stood beside the office, opening the boxes one after another.

“Dr. Craw." Gordon smiled, walked into Luca's office, and greeted her as though his resentment for her for arranging him to become a laborer had dissipated.

Luca frowned. She did not expect Gordan to really come. novelbin

She thought he would run away.

"Mr. Norton, I didn't expect to see you here. How dedicated. I'm impressed," Luca said ironically.

Gordon was not angry and he replied, "Oh no, none of the movers are as highly paid as I am, after all. So, a little dedication is a must."

"Paid? I'm not planning on paying you," said Luca. She withdrew her gaze without stopping what she was doing.

"I didn't ask you to pay me either. Dr. Craw, it's noontime. I've helped your team to move the things here all morning. It's not too much to ask for, right?" Gordon said cheekily. He would not feel comfortable if he did not ask Luca to treat him to lunch.

After all, Gordon seldom lost out on anything in front of women.

Luca glanced at the time. It was indeed noontime. If it were not for Gordan who reminded her, she would not have known when she would stop being so busy.

After all, Luca had already gotten used to Luke bringing lunch boxes to her office to have lunch together every day during noontime. That was why she did not have to worry about what to eat, and it became a habit for her not to be concerned about lunch break.

"Sure. Thank you for helping today, Mr. Norton. Let's go out for lunch after I finish unpacking and arranging the documents in this box," replied Luca.

Gordon gave a satisfying smile and requested, saying, "Dr. Craw, I'd like to have farm-to-table cuisine." “Okay. There's a farm-to-table restaurant nearby," said Luca. Although the dishes of farm-to-table restaurants were not as sumptuous as other restaurants, they were one of the best cuisines. Luca only had a limited time for her lunch break. She would not be able to make it for the afternoon meeting if they went somewhere farther away.

"Sure." Gordan sat on the sofa and waited for her.

Mo Stone walked to Luca's office door and saw Gordan sitting on the sofa. She was slightly surprised, but she immediately came back to her senses. It seemed like this man had helped to carry the laboratory equipment a moment ago.

Could he be one of the movers?

Mo Stone immediately denied it. Which house mover would dress up that way?

"Dr. Craw." She knocked on the door that was against the wall beside her.

Luca turned around and shot Mo a glance. Then, she said, "Yes, Ms. Stone?"

"The company changed their badge when you were working in T Corporation. I came here to give it to you. Here are some stationeries too." Mo was carrying a small paper box in her hands.

"Ah, okay. Thank you." Luca took it from her. There was a new badge and some stationeries in the paper box.

However, Luca would not be using the stationeries now. She had brought some over from T Corporation.

"And, Dr. Craw, we have a meeting at 2:30 in the afternoon," Mo reminded her again, afraid that Luca would forget about it.

"Okay. I got it." Luca placed the small paper box on the desk and continued to tidy up the documents.

"Alright. I'm going out for lunch first. Oh, Dr. Craw, do you need me to buy lunch for you?" Mo asked. Luca had achieved something great for Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Many professors complimented her for launching the drug. The company's cash flow would return once the drug was successfully launched in the market.

Luca was the first professor to complete drug research and launch the product in the market since Watson Biopharmaceuticals was established. She had a bright future ahead.

Hence, Mo wanted to seize the chance to leave a good impression on Luca.

"It's okay. I'm going..." Luca glanced at Gordan. He was smiling cunningly like a fox. "I'm going out for lunch with Mr. Norton."

"Okay, Dr. Craw." Mo glanced at Gordan. What a handsome man.

Luca was a beautiful woman, and good-looking men were always around her. It was enviable.

After Mo left, Gordan teased, "Dr. Craw, I helped you to carry so many things. Besides, Luke and you.."

Luca glowered at him.

Some words were better left unsaid here. Once someone heard what he said, it would spread around in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Gordan received the hint in her eyes, smiled, and continued, "After all, we're considered friends, right? Isn't it a little strange to address me as Mr. Norton?" "If I don't address you as Mr. Norton, should I call you Ms. Norton instead?" Luca replied sarcastically.

Gordan opened his mouth. He did not expect Luca to be such a smart mouth, and he replied embarrassedly, “No. Judging from how close I am with Luke, it's okay if you see me as your younger brother too."

"Mr. Norton." Luca tapped on the desk and reminded him, "You're the same age as Mr. Crawford, right?"

"Yes," replied Gordan. Although they were born in the same year, he was a few months younger than Luke.

"I'm younger than Mr. Crawford, so you're not younger than me," said Luca. She was not planning to treat Gordan like her younger brother.

Luca would be pissed if she had a younger brother who could not understand that he was in love with someone.

It reminded Luca of Tina and Amur at the thought of this, and she let out a sigh helplessly.

"You're right. I don't want to be your younger brother either," Gordan said unconcernedly.

Luca picked up the last document in the box. After she placed it in the drawer, she picked up the coat beside her and put it on. Then, she said, "Let's go, Mr. Norton. Let me treat you to lunch."

"Sure. Let's go." Gordan rose to his feet.

The two of them left Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Someone took a few photos of Luca and Gordan with the phone while they were heading toward the farm-to-table restaurant for lunch.

Gordan saw the restaurant Luca took him to and opposed it. "Dr. Craw, is this the farm-to-table restaurant you told me about? Don't try to fool me. I've eaten a lot of farm-to-table restaurants before."

"There's only one farm-to-table restaurant nearby. Their ingredients are fresh. Sit down and order your food." Luca smiled and handed the menu to Gordan.

Other than tomatoes, everything was fine for Gordan.

Luca had heard Luke mention Gordan's matter before.

Gordan had gone on missions. Sometimes, it was difficult to survive in extreme situations. Those who could survive through them were usually not picky eaters.

"Gah, I should've picked a Western restaurant earlier," said Gordan. He initially thought of ordering a dozen dishes to burn a hole in Luca's pocket.

Gordan glanced at the menu. The dishes listed were not expensive at all.

"We're at a place which is considered as the suburb of A City. How can there be so many restaurants in the suburban area? Besides, you heard that I'll be having a meeting at 2:30 later. We don't have time to go anywhere farther," replied Luca.
