Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 1152 Are You Bothered?
Luca followed Jason to the CEO's office.
Watson Biopharmaceuticals was only a subsidiary company, so the furnishings in the CEO's office were not as lavish as that of T
Corporation. The dull gray walls gave her an oppressive feeling.
Jason stood at the entrance, and he had no intention of going inside. He pointed toward the interior and said, "Please, Dr. Craw."
Luca took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Luke's voice was heard from the inside.
Luca's hand gripped the metal doorknob. It was cold to the touch and made her shudder slightly.
She pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Luke sit on the swivel chair, she deliberately left the door open. "Mr. Crawford."
"Sit." Luke pointed at the seat opposite him.
Luca nodded. She had only taken two steps when she heard Jason closing the door behind her.
She turned around and glanced at the closed door.
She did not want to close the door because she did not want to share a private space with Luke.
Luke coughed gently. Luca came to her senses and sat down at the chair opposite him.
"Can I help you, Mr. Crawford?" She asked softly.
"I'm very interested in your projects," Luke said candidly.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Luke only wanted to meet her for her projects. "Thank you." "How much
money do you need?" Luke asked. His heart skipped a beat when he heard her soft voice.
Luca lowered her head and did not notice the sparkle in Luke's eyes. She thought carefully for a bit, though she was not very
sure about how researching funding worked. As far as she knew, her projects were in the final stages, and she did not need as
much funding as those that had just started.
All she had to do was to verify the data from Shanks's research. There was practically no risk of failure.

"I don't need too much money because my research is in its final stages. I shall leave it to your discretion," Luca said.
"Don't you want to request more?" Luke was quite surprised. Any other researcher would want to take the opportunity to ask for
more money.
After all, if the research was successful, they would make massive profits for the company, and they could take the credit for it.
"More money wont make my research better, so I’ll only ask for enough." Luca was not interested in research funding.
"Mm." Luke wrote some characters on a document.
From how Luke was holding the document, Luca could not discern what he was writing. She guessed that he was filling up a
budget document.
"When I talked to you last time, you were only working on one project. Why do you suddenly have two?" Luke put the document
away and asked.
"Isn't that good for the company?" Luca said.
"It's good, indeed." Luke nodded. "The project is in its final stages, so you must have spent a lot of time on it. Did you bring it
over from your previous company?"
Luca knew what he was worried about. She nodded and reassured him, "It is indeed a continuation of a project from my previous
company, but I've done most of the research in private after I resigned. They don't have any useful information."
Luke nodded, and his phone began to ring. It was from an unknown number, and he rejected the call without hesitation.
Luca did not say anything and waited for Luke to speak.
"Did you read the papers?" Luke asked. He thought that the phone call was from a reporter.
"You mean that piece of gossip? I've read it." Luca's heart skipped a beat. She knew that he would eventually mention it, and she
did not know what he thought of the article.
She observed Luke's expression. He seemed calm, but she did not know what he was thinking.
"Mm." Luke nodded slightly. When their eyes met, he felt a tingle in his nervous system. That was a sensation that he had not
experienced for a very long time. "Are you bothered?" "The photo doesn't show my face clearly, but I hope that you'll be able to

settle this problem, Mr. Crawford," Luca said.
If the news continued to spread, Abel would eventually find out about it. She did not know what Abel's plan of revenge was, and
she could not predict what he might do." 'Til deal with it." Luke could tell that the woman was trying to keep a distance from him.
That somehow made him feel unhappy.
Jason knocked on the door and said. "Boss, Tommy’s homeroom teacher wants to speak to you."
Luke frowned. "Come in," he said.
"Yes, Boss," Jason replied and opened the door. He was holding a phone in his hand.
He handed the phone to Luke.
"Hello, I am Luke Crawford." Luke took the phone and spoke into it. His tone of voice was ice-cold.
The teacher glanced at Tommy who was sitting on a chair. She said, "Good day to you, Mr. Crawford. I'm sorry for disturbing you.
Tommy isn't feeling well. Do you want to pick him up and bring him home?" "Mm. I'll go over now," Luke said and handed the
phone back to Jason. He stood up and took his coat that was hanging at the side.
After Jason ended the call, he asked, "Are you going to Tommy's school, Boss?" "Tommy isn't feeling well. I'll have to bring him
to the doctor," Luke said. Over the past few years, Luke had been taking care of the children himself. He would only delegate
those tasks to the driver and the caretakers if he had to go on a business trip.
He never let Bianca do anything for the children.
Luca instinctively stood up. She seemed worried.
Luke noticed all that.
"Should I go with you?" Jason said.
"Stay here and talk with each of the researchers. Make a note of the amount of funding they want," Luke said.
"Yes!" Jason nodded and watched Luke leave.

Luca remained on the spot. When she estimated that Luke had already gone into the elevator and went downstairs, she turned
to speak to Jason," I'll go downstairs and continue my work, Mr. Doyle." "Mm. Take care, Dr. Craw." Jason watched her leave. He
rubbed his chin curiously, thinking that how Luca called him Mr. Doyle" sounded very similar to the previous Bianca.
He wondered if his boss had taken an interest in Luca.
However, her voice was the extent of Luca's similarities to Bianca. As far as Jason knew, Luke had reunited with Bianca two
years ago, and Luke would not be interested in any other woman.
The more Jason thought about it, the more confused he was.
His intuition told him that Luke was acting strangely, but he did not think that Luke was that kind of person.
