Chapter 2532 Had No Intention
For someone like Gordan who usually wore a smile on his face to conceal his feelings, it would be harder to find
out what was in his mind.
"Mr. Link, let's go back to the office," said Luca. She wanted to continue arranging the documents before the
meeting started.
The documents should be categorized well.
The two of them returned to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.
Luca saw the general manager standing outside her office door. She raised her brows and noticed that his hand
was resting on the doorknob of the door.
“General Manager, are you looking for me?" Luca walked toward him and stopped him when he was about to
push the door open and enter the office.
The general manager was surprised when a voice suddenly rang out. He unconsciously turned the doorknob, but
the door was locked.
The expression on his face changed. He turned around and looked at Luca with a smile on his face. “Dr. Craw,
where have you been? I've been knocking on the door but no one answered."
"I went out for lunch just now. General Manager, is there anything | can help you with?" Luca asked. She locked
the door when she went out.
Hence, there was no way the manager could enter the office unless he broke the door.
"So that's why no one answered no matter how hard | knocked on it," replied the general manager. There was a
hint of awkwardness in the embarrassed smile on his face as though he had been caught red-handed. “There's
still tbefore the meeting. General Manager, why are you looking for me?” It was the third tLuca repeated
the squestion. She was forcing him to find an excuse for his suspicious behavior.
“Oh, yes, | heard you've just moved back here. | thought of coming here to say hello.” The general manager
realized if he did not give Luca an explanation, she would not let him go easily. Hence, he cup with an
excuse to brush her off.
"That's very kind of you. Don't we have a meeting to attend later? I'll see you there, General Manager.” Luca
took her keys out and opened the door as she replied.
“Ah, okay...” The general manager knew his plan had failed. He left with embarrassment.
Rhett followed Luca into the office. After they got out of the general manager's sight, Rhett could not help but
mutter, "Could it be that the general manager hasn't given up the thought of looking at the documents?"
Luca headed to her office desk. The office here wasn't as good as the one in T Corporation. The desk was
smaller, and there was no sofa either.
She could only lean forward on the desk and rest for a while during lunch break.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Probably," replied Luca.
"We've already applied for the patent for our drug research. There's nothing he can do even if he sees those
documents..." Before Rhett could finish his words, he immediately shut his mouth. In hindsight, he realized he
was unconsciously thinking that the general manager must be up to no good for wanting to secretly read the
research data.
"Let's talk about it later. Hurry up and find your two boxes. Let's tidy up a little. Then we'll attend the meeting."
Luca urged him.
Luca quietly thought about the general manager.
She had hinted to Luke that something was wrong with the general manager before, but Luke had yet to handle
this matter.
Hence, Luca was sure that Luke was trying to lure the mastermind behind the general manager.
The mastermind was probably not Abel, so who could it be?
Could it be Pierre Mallory?
Luca pondered for a moment. She carried another box and was about to unseal it, only to realize there was a
remark left by Rhett on the box. Then, she said, “Mr. Link, it's your box."
"Thank you, Dr. Craw." Rhett took the box from her and put it aside. He had only placed two boxes here. There
was only one left.
"Dr. Craw, it's fortunate that you locked the door," said Rhett.
"Although the drug launching is a done deal, these documents are confidential. If the information gets leaked,
someone can change the formula and dosage to pass it off as their own research. That's why we need to be
careful," said Luca. The general manager had no access to this floor, so she wondered if someone forgot to close
the door or if someone had intentionally let him in.
"Dr. Craw, that's very attentive of you," exclaimed Rhett. After he found the second box, he placed it on the first
one and carried the two boxes. He said, “Dr. Craw, I'm going back to my office."
"Okay." Luca nodded.
Watson Biopharmaceuticals had recruited new employees not too long ago. Luca heard that a new professor
would be joining them in two days. She could not be bothered by it. After all, all she had to do was to do her job.
Luca arrived at the meeting room at 2:30 sharp in the afternoon.
Since Luca's newly developed drug was about to be launched on the market, there were people in the company
extolling her for doing such a great job. Luca was not used to it. Thus, she chose to enter the meeting room on
tso that the other professors would not take the chance to talk to her.
"Dr. Craw, you're here." Although Luca arrived at the meeting room on time, the general manager was not there
yet. Hence, there were still people who greeted her.
Luca nodded and smiled at them. Then, she sat on the seat next to the corner.
“Dr. Craw, why are you still sitting there? It used to be Dr. Albus' seat. And no one's sitting here either. Come
over and sit here," said Dr. Jackson.
Luca glanced at the empty seat. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'm fine sitting here.”
Dr. Jackson did not say anything more seeing as Luca preferred to stay low.
The general manager pushed the door open and walked into the meeting room after Luca said that. His gaze
swept across the meeting room to check if everyone had arrived. "Everyone's here. Professors, let's start the
meeting."
"Okay," the professors replied.
Luca looked at the meeting agenda and read through the contents.

The general manager thought it was not enough. Therefore, he asked, "Dr. Craw, why don't you cup here to
give a speech?"
Luca sat on her chair with no intention of standing up. She shook her head and replied, “General Manager, thank
you, but | think we should start the meeting."
The general manager did not expect Luca to reject him in front of the others.
He had no choice but to go along with what Luca said. He smiled and said, "In this case, let's start the
meeting."
There were many things to be discussed during the meeting. After they were done discussing, it was already a
quarter past five in the evening.
It had been a long tsince Luca had such a long meeting. She felt tired.
When she thought the meeting was
ending soon, the general manager

The professors exchanged glances with each other. Sof them had taught in their previous colleges, and
swere currently teaching at other universities. Hence, they had no intention of going for the job.
