After all, Charlotte was the one who really engaged with Luther.
Joyce didn’t want to get involved in other people’s marriages.
With watery eyes, Charlotte smiled, “Never mind. | still trust you. You can go ahead with your work.” “Hmm.” Joyce nodded. She returned to her seat, turned on her computer and opened the 3D design software.
Joyce began to concentrate on her drawing.
On the other side, Luther returned to his exclusive office.
He pressed the call button, “Get Casey in here.” Not long after, a man in a gray suit with a clean face walked in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was Luther's special assistant Casey.
“Mr. Luther, may | ask what you need?” Casey asked respectfully.
“About the new projects in automotive research and development, givea brief overview of the progress.” Luther sat in his swivel chair with an elegant posture.
The ink-black large desk had a paperweight in the shape of a leopard with a pair of emerald eyes.
He reached out his hands and repeatedly rubbed it. The more difficult the twas, the more he wanted to tame.
“Mr. Luther, this car design uses integrated casting technology, which requires the molten metal liquid to be cast through a large mold. Before that, we need 70 small parts. With the casting, the number is reduced to four that makes up the body of the car. This greatly reduces production costs and also improves the strength of the parts.” Casey reported.
“The designer, is Joyce?” Luther raised an eyebrow. She was quite capable, and was actually an incomparable talent.
“Yes, Luther,” said Casey who was surprised in that Luther would not ask for such details in the past.
“Is there a supervisor named Lauren in the project team?” He remembered the scene where Joyce was.
embarrassed just now, and he heard it all.
“Yes. Her nis Lauren.” said Casey.
“She's fired, and this project is under your personal supervision.” Luther got up, and his voice was without a trace of emotion. His eyes were like universe.
He walked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out on the 88th floor. The view was spectacular with the sky, clouds, mountains and tall buildings. And he could see the whole of Knebury. “Yes. Luther.” said Casey as he was about to exit the office.
It was weird that Luther would fire a junior executive. He didn’t know what did Lauren do that offended Luther.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Luther suddenly turned around with an unknown smile, “Wait. Keep her.” He suddenly felt that things might get more interesting by keeping Lauren.
It was better to wait and see what happened.
“Yes. Mr. Luther.” Casey left the office with amazed feeling. What was wrong with Luther? Why did he recall his order? What was going on in the automotive development program that he didn’t know about? At lunchtime, Charlotte requested to leave the office for a while during lunch break.
She deliberately walked quite a distance to find an out-of-the-way drugstore. A mask on her face, she went in to buy a pregnancy tester.
With the tester in her pocket, she then walked into the bathroom of a cafe shop.
Such a thing, of course, can not be done at hand in the company.
After waiting for a short time, Charlotte looked at two striking bars on the pregnancy test.
As she thought, she was indeed pregnant.
If she was an ordinary person, she will be at a loss for words. But she, Charlotte, had never been an ordinary person.
She calmly looked at the pregnancy tester several times, smiled and then dropped it in the toilet.
The baby was definitely Thomas’. She conceived just days before Joyce saved Luther's life. The timing was so coincidental that she can make a big deal out of it.
