“Sort of." Luca nodded and sat down on a chair.
When the other two researchers heard her, they started gathering around her. "Dr. Craw, you're brilliant. It's only
been a while, but you've already got a sample. Is this the next research project for our team?"
"If it goes well, perhaps..." Luca was overwhelmed with questions. She knew that there would be people she
recognized in the laboratory, but she did not expect them to be so curious.
"That's awesome!" The researcher exclaimed at how fast she was, so she continued to ask, "Dr. Craw, can you tell
us what this research is about?"
"I'll have to keep that confidential for now. I don't have high hopes for this experiment either. You all can hurry up
with your experiments. I believe that I'll be able to apply for a new research project soon, so everyone will be busy
by then," Luca hinted that they should seize the opportunity and time now as they would be busy in the future.
The researchers looked at the liquid in the sample and said enviously, "Dr. Craw, if only we had as many research
ideas as you, then we would not have to sit here scratching our heads."
"Good luck, everyone," said Luca as she picked up a test tube that had been sterilized.
They were still standing there, so she told them, "I'm about to start my experiment, so you all should hurry up and
think about what experiment you want to do too."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe researchers understood what she meant, so they nodded and returned to their seats.
After they left, Luca calmed down and began to do her research.
Luca did her research the entire morning. The researchers had already left for lunch break, but she still had not
noticed the time.
That was until Rhett walked in.
"Dr. Craw, have you had lunch?" Rhett was surprised to see Luca, who was concentrating on her experiment.
Hence, he asked.
"Lunch?" Only then did Luca think of looking at the time. It was already half past 12.
"So, you haven't." Rhett said resignedly. If he had not received a call from Luke to come and ask her about lunch,
he was afraid that she would not even realize after lunchtime had passed.
"I was doing my experiment, so I didn't realize." Luca explained embarrassedly.
Rhett was speechless.
Luca glanced at the machine that was still operating and analyzing the composition of the drug. She put the rest of
the samples away and said, "I'll go eat now."
Rhett nodded. "It's a good thing Mr. Crawford asked me to remind you. Otherwise, you would've starved."
"Mr. Crawford?" Luca was surprised. After stacking up all the files, she stood up while holding them in her arms.
When she heard him say that, she realized that Luke was the one who told Rhett to remind her to eat.
"Mr. Crawford called me and told me to remind you to eat lunch," Rhett reported truthfully.
Luca could not suppress her smile as she walked out of the laboratory.
Luke knew her well. He knew that she had gotten used to being fed by him, so now that there was no one there to
feed her, she would easily forget to eat.
After walking back to her office, Luca placed the samples in the mini refrigerator and placed the data files on the
table before leaving.
Luca took the elevator downstairs and walked around the nearby restaurants.
She came down late, so the company's cafeteria would have run out of tasty dishes, which was why she chose to
eat outside.
The only thing was that she came down at an awkward time, so the restaurants were overcrowded. Finding a seat
was difficult enough, let alone a nice quiet spot.
Luca was not used to sharing a table with someone else either.
Just as she was about to go back and order takeout, Luca noticed a well-decorated high-end restaurant.
The decor of the restaurant was rather lavish. Anyone could tell from the storefront alone that this place was not
cheap.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDue to the price, she could see through the floor-to-ceiling window that there were not many people inside.
Luca thought to herself that perhaps having some high-end food once in a while was not such a bad idea.
With that, she pushed open the door of the high-end restaurant and walked in.
The waiter entertained her enthusiastically. Luca chose a seat in a corner as she preferred a peaceful and quiet
environment.
After picking up the menu, Luca glanced at the price and saw that she was right.
Most of the office workers around here worked in companies that coveted the cheap rent of office buildings here,
so the salary at companies like those was not that high compared to others.
Therefore, they would only come to restaurants like these once in a while. If they were here every day, even if they
got the cheapest item on the menu, their wallets would not be able to withstand it.
As a result, the restaurant was not crowded.
Luca ordered a set meal.
Then, the waiter went to place her order.
After waiting for almost 20 minutes, the waiter served the menu she ordered.
While Luca was eating her meal, the bell at the door rang as someone walked in.
