Mo was already used to Luca's cold treatment, so she took the initiative to ask, “Dr. Craw, was the person who sent you here just
now your boyfriend?"
Based on her previous observations, the car Luca came in today was not the one she usually used.
She could tell from the car plate alone that the car she usually used was Luke's car, but the car she came in today was more
common, and so was the car plate. Mo guessed that it was not Luke's car.
If it were not Luke's car, it would be worth finding out the identity of the person who sent her to work.
Luca glanced at the descending number shown on the elevator panel and said indifferently, "Ms. Stone, do you sit in the
backseat of your boyfriend's car?"
"Of course not, I'll be in the passenger seat..." Mo stopped in her tracks when she understood what she was trying to imply.
If it were not her boyfriend's car, did she take a taxi?
It seemed like she was thinking too much.
She did not stand in the doorway just now, and there was quite a distance between her and the car, so she could not see the
driver's face. Thus, she stopped being nosy.
Mo realized that she had crossed the line because of her curiosity, so she apologized embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Dr. Craw."
"It's okay. Oh and please apply for a parking spot for me," said Luca as higher-ups like her had designated parking spaces.
She was in T Corporation before this, so she did not apply for a parking space when it was open for application.
Now that she had to work here long-term, she had to apply for one so that Warren would not have to look for one every time.
"Okay, Dr. Craw," Mo agreed, but she dared not ask why.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Luca got on first.
Mo then walked in and swiped her card before pressing the button.
Neither of them spoke in the elevator. The atmosphere was silent and slightly awkward.
Mo looked at the numbers go up and was silently praying that her words just now did not upset Luca.
Otherwise, there was no telling how this would end.
After the elevator had reached the floor, Luca did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she waited for Mo to leave before getting out of
the elevator slowly.
After that, she walked back to her office.
There should not be any work for her today, so...
Luca opened the mini refrigerator in her office. For convenience's sake, every professor had a mini refrigerator in their office.
The sample she extracted previously was placed here.
She wanted to use Watson Biopharmaceuticals' advanced technology to study the sample's data, then make the antidote.
Shanks developed the drug as well as the antidote, so if she just followed the method he used to prescribe the drug, she would
be able to develop it.
With the help of the advanced facilities here, Luca was confident in her research.
She was about to go to the laboratory with the sample when her phone on the desk rang.
Luca put the sample down and picked up her phone. She noticed that it was Amur's number, so she hurriedly accepted the call.
"Amur?"
“It's me." A familiar voice sounded from the other end of the call.
It was Amur!
Luca's nose tingled as the last time he called was when he went back, and it had been a few months since then. Not only had
she not gotten a call from Amur since then, but she never received a call from Eler either.
Sometimes, no news was good news. Luca may be longing for Nyla, but she did not show her anxiousness.
If she showed how worried she was, it meant that Abel would get his way.
She had never been willing to let Abel get his way from the beginning.
"Are you okay?" Luca had a lot to say and ask like the situation on the island, how Nyla was doing, how he and Eler were doing
on the island, and so on.
"I'm on a mission, so I'm out of the island now. The destination of the mission is in A City, so let's meet up and talk," said Amur.
He knew what she was worried about, but it was not safe to talk about some things over the phone.
"Okay, when will you arrive in A City?" Luca asked.
"I'll be there by this afternoon," replied Amur as he glanced at the scenery out the window. He was on a train to A City right now.
"Amur, is the target of your mission someone I know?" Luca asked euphemistically, worried that Amur's mission had something
to do with Luke.
She felt anxious and was reluctant to see that happen as she did not want to see Luke get hurt, nor was she willing to let Amur
fail his mission.
Moreover, if his mission was related to Luke, she would be involved too. She would not need to think twice about whose side she
would be on.
In the end, she and Amur would have to succumb to Abel's punishment.
Luca did not want that to happen. Her research was not done yet, so she could not let Amur escape.
Amur paused for a while on the other end of the line and replied, "It's someone you know but not who you think it is."
Luca was relieved to hear that response.
Amur knew who she cared about the most, so he knew what she was most worried about too.
Although she did not know who Amur's target was, she was at least relieved to know that it was not Luke.
"Okay, Amur. Let's have dinner tonight." Luca invited him out.
"I want to eat the burgers you make," said Amur. He wanted to eat her cooking to satisfy his longing for her.
"Just burgers?" Luca chuckled, knowing that Amur liked her cooking the most.
Not just Amur, but even Nyla and Eler liked her cooking.
"Ahem..." Amur blushed when he heard her laugh, and the redness spread behind his ears. "If you have time, you can prepare a
few more dishes."
"I'm free, so I'll see you at the apartment tonight," said Luca.
"Okay, see you tonight," After saying that, Amur hung up.
Luca let out a sigh of relief and her anxiousness calmed down a little.
As long as it was not Luke. As long as the target was not him.
Luca put the phone into her lab coat pocket so she could know first thing in case anything happened, then she took the sample
to the laboratory.
There were a few other researchers in the public laboratory, and they were all from her team.
Now that the drug project was past the research stage, the people in her team were the freest in the entire company.
The researchers greeted Luca when they saw her walking over. "Dr. Craw, are you here to do some experiments too?"
"Yup." Luca nodded as she placed the file and sample on an empty seat.
The researcher came over out of curiosity. Although they were in the laboratory, they were still in the theoretical stage which
comprised checking information. They were merely getting ready to do something big. Luca was the only one who brought over a
sample.
"Dr. Craw, is this an experiment sample?" The researcher looked at the liquid in the test tube and asked curiously.
