Chapter 1398


    After the local news section was the financial news. Luca came to her senses and watched the news


    report on the stock market. T Corporation’s prospects were looking bright.


    She turned off the television with the remote control, finished her breakfast, picked up her handbag,


    and left the house.


    Theboratory at T Corporation was almostpletely furnished. Luca would be restarting her


    research today.


    Rhett had told her that the different research teams in Watson were working much harder than before


    because of this new policy. They wanted to be the next team to move to T Corporation.


    Luca did not understand the appeal of working in T Corporation.


    She was even willing to let them take over her position in T Corporation. It was not only because she


    was constantly under surveince, but she also did not want to work at the same building as the CEO.


    Luca caught a cab and went to T Corporation. After she clocked in, she stashed her personal


    belongings in her office, then went to theboratory.


    The researchers in her team should have been working at their stations, but now, they were huddled


    together and discussing something.


    Luca went over and asked them, “What are you talking about?”


    “Good morning, Dr. Craw,” the researchers greeted her. They were not very close to her because Luca


    was not very social. Usually, they would inform Rhett if they needed anything, and Rhett would tell Luca


    about it.


    One of the researchers said, “Dr. Craw, have you seen the announcement on thepany website?”


    “Company website? What about it?” Luca asked.


    “They caught the person who messed up our research,” the researcher said excitedly. All of them were


    happy that the culprit was caught.


    “To be exact, they only caught one of the people in the security department. In the announcement, that


    person had admitted that he tampered with the surveince cameras,” another researcher said.


    “That’s about the same. If many people were involved and they caught one of them, it wouldn’t take too


    long to catch the others,” the previous researcher said.


    Luca asked, “I don’t have my phone with me, but did the announcement say who the security guard


    was?”


    “The article mentioned that he’s a rtive of a certain manager in Watson. I didn’t know that you need


    connections to join the security department!” The researcher eximed.


    “Heh, don’t you know that security guards get paid more in T Corporation and its subsidiaries? If I were


    a security guard, I’d want to work in T Corporation too.”


    From what the researchers told her, Luca could guess the contents of the announcement.


    The announcement did not specify which manager it was, but Luca could roughly guess it.


    Luca addressed the researchers, “Alright, we should get to work soon. I’d like to hold a brief meeting


    before we start on the research again. Let’s meet in the conference room in ten minutes.”


    “Yes, Dr. Craw,” the researchers replied.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Luca nced at the time, then took her tabletputer and went into the conference room.


    Five minutester, the administrative assistant in charge of their department came into the conference


    room with cups of coffee and ced them in front of each of the seats. Her name was Zoey Davis. “Dr.


    Craw, shall I take the meeting minutes for you?” She asked.


    Even though Luca knew that Luke had installed a surveince camera in her office, she did not know if


    he had asked Zoey to spy on her too.


    She thought for a while and nodded. “Alright, please help me take the meeting minutester.”


    “Yes, Dr. Craw. I’ll go and make preparations.” Zoey nodded and left the conference room with the


    empty tray.


    Ten minutester, all the researchers were seated in the conference room.


    Luca briefed them about the research direction. From the previous stage of their research, Luca


    realized that they had to prioritize certain things, and other steps could be omitted. She was going to


    implement those changes when they came to the next stage of their research, but seeing that they had


    to start over, she might as well make those changes now.


    Her speechsted for fifteen minutes. After she had spoken what she wanted to say, she looked at the


    researchers in the conference room and asked them, “Does anyone have anything else to add?”


    The researchers shook their heads.


    Luca nodded, stood up, and picked up her tabletputer. “If that’s the case, the meeting is


    dismissed. Let’s all work hard so that we can bring the product to the market.”


    “Yes,” the other researchers replied.


    Zoey finalized the meeting minutes and watched Luca walk out of the conference room. She took out


    her phone and sent a message to Jason. [Mr. Doyle, Dr. Craw has just finished her meeting with her


    team.]


    Jason had tasked her to spy on Luca’s movements in addition to being her administrative assistant.


    Luca returned to her office. She did not have time to rest. Instead, she put on herb coat and went to


    theboratory.


    She was not surprised when she opened the office door and saw Jason standing outside.


    “Can I help you?” Luca asked.


    “Yes. Sue wants to host a dinner at home this Sunday. She knows that you’re working in T Corporation


    now, so she’s asking me to hand you the invitation,” Jason said as he handed Luca an invitation card.


    Luca took the card. The handwriting on the card indeed looked like Sue’s handwriting, but she could


    not help but wonder why it was so formal.


    “Sunday? I don’t know if I’m free on Sunday,” Luca said. She did not immediately ept the invitation.


    Jason nodded and said, “It’s fine. You don’t have to give me your answer now. Right, are you heading


    to theb?”


    “Mm, yes. The incident has seriously dyed our progress, and I have to get back to the research as


    soon as possible,” Luca said. Seeing that Jason did not leave, she guessed that he had something else


    to say.


    Jason nodded and continued, “You can ask Ms. Davis if you need anything. Right, have you read the


    announcement on thepany website?”


    “I’ve heard the other researchers talking about it. Has the security guard told you about his


    aplices?” Luca asked.


    “They’re still interrogating him, and I don’t think he’ll be able to keep his secrets for much longer,” Jason


    said with a smile.


    Luca thought that Jason’s expression reminded him of Luke. Perhaps Jason was influenced by Luke


    somehow.


    Even though Jason was smiling, Luca could not shake off the impression that he was as sly as a fox.


    Luca nodded.


    Seeing that Luca did not ask any further questions, Jason asked, “Dr. Craw, aren’t you curious about


    the identity of the manager in the announcement?”
