"There''s no need to. It''s a good ce to receive guests like Pierre," replied Luke as he walked out of


    the lounge.


    Jason rubbed his nose and took a deep breath. Why would he think that Boss sounded devilish?


    It seemed like there was some progress between him and Luca. That was why he was in a good mood.


    Jason hurried over and kept up with Luke''s pace as he left.


    Pierre climbed into the car after he left T Corporation. He asked the chauffeur to start the car


    immediately. He would be tempted to blow the crap out of this ce if he remained here for another


    second.


    The chauffeur looked at how furious Pierre was and reminded him in a low voice, "But Old Master


    Mallory''s assistant hasn''te out yet."


    "Drive the car if I instructed you to do so. What''s the matter? Are you my chauffeur or his chauffeur?"


    Pierre was very unhappy with the assistant. He had asked him to endure everything, which made Luke


    step all over him!


    "You''re my boss," replied the chauffeur. He immediately started the car engine and drove off.


    The assistant walked out of the T Corporation''s building and saw Pierre''s car driving away, leaving a


    puff of smoke behind. He shook his head helplessly.


    The assistant did not catch up to the car, considering his status. Instead, he stood still and called Old


    Master Mallory.


    The call went through, and he reported to Old Master Mallory immediately, "Old Master, things didn''t go


    smoothly. Mr. Pierre didn''t apologize to Luke when he was in T Corporation. Luke also gave him anContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ultimatum. If Mr. Pierre doesn''t find the person who stole the bidding document soon, he''ll issue a


    statement to the media."


    Only a few people knew that the bidding document that Pierre submitted belonged to T Corporation. If


    the media found out about this matter, the Mallory family''s name would be disgraced.


    "Did he really say that?" Old Master Mallory sounded unhappy.


    The assistant replied, "Yes, I heard it myself. Besides, Luke had nned to ask Mr. Pierre to admit that


    he stole the bidding document. What he meant was he wouldn''t hold Pierre ountable for what


    happened if Pierre was willing to tell him who handed him the bidding document. But Mr. Pierre insisted


    on finding the person responsible."


    Old Master Mallory sneered while he listened to him.


    "He got that right. Come back here. You don''t have to follow Pierre anymore."


    "Alright, I got it." The assistant hailed a taxi and left after he hung up the call.


    He was not Pierre''s subordinate. If it were not for the old master worrying that Pierre would lose control


    and talk smack in front of Luke, the old master would not have asked him to follow Pierre.


    The assistant sat in the car and recalled everything that happened just now.


    If he were Pierre''s assistant, he would feel like crying for having to deal with such a difficult boss.


    In the afternoon.


    Luca was still looking for the problem in the research data. Rhett picked up his phone and nced at


    her. He pondered for a moment and said, "Dr. Craw, thepany has issued a press release."


    "Is it about Dr. Albus?" Luca did not lift her head. Luke had told her that the announcement would be


    made today.


    "Yes." Rhett quickly made a guess when he noticed that Luca was not even curious about it. Luca must


    have heard something when she was beside Luke. Otherwise, how could she not be curious about


    such a big issue?


    "Get your job done," replied Luca. She was not nning toment anything about Dr. Albus'' matter.


    The other researchers heard her and exchanged nces with each other.


    Although there was a certainpetitive rtionship between theirboratory and Dr. Albus''


    laboratory, they worked for the samepany. Luca seemed to be indifferent about this matter.


    Luca noticed the silence that hung thickly in the air. There was not even the sound of pages turning.


    She lifted her head and looked at them.


    A few of them lowered their heads.


    Luca pressed her hands on the documents and said, "I know what''s on your mind. Dr. Albus'' matter


    isn''t something that can be solved by conducting investigations or speaking up for him. That''s why I


    hope everyone can learn from this experience. Important data should be left in the office, and you


    should never leak information to anyone else. If something like this happens in our team, all of us will


    be in deep trouble."


    "Understood," the researchers replied at the same time.


    "Let this be a lesson to all of us. After all..." Luca paused for a moment. "He had brought important


    information and documents out of theb."


    Everything was exined in the announcement, so there was nothing they could say.


    "We''ll have to find out what caused the data error as soon as possible. Drugs have great impacts. The


    drug can''t beunched on the market if there''s data conflict in the research. Well, I''d like to thank you


    for being here with me. Let''s work hard together. That way, everyone can get a good bonus after the


    drug isunched."


    "Yes." Everyone pulled themselves together once Luca mentioned the bonus.


    They had made it this far, and they had worked hard for the research.


    Furthermore, the drug that they had been studying had great therapeutic effects. There would certainly


    be an overwhelming response once the drug wasunched.


    By the time they received the bonus, it would be much higher than the other research teams.


    After all, this was not a drug that could cure minor sickness. Drugs like this might take up to ten years


    to develop sessfully if they were unfortunate.


    If it were not for Luca bringing the research into thepany, thepany would not be treating them


    well today.


    Everyone focused and continued to look for the data information.


    Luca felt a little uneasy when she saw everyone focusing on their jobs.


    Luca was not emotionless, and she had something to say. However, she did not know where to start...


    She nced at the time and said to Rhett in a soft voice, “I have to leave the office around four in the


    afternoon. Ask everyone to get off work on timeter."


    "Dr. Craw, aren''t we supposed to hurry up and find the error?" Rhett asked in a low voice. They were


    prepared to work overtime when Luca came back to work.


    "Let them rest today. We''ll continue tomorrow," replied Luca.


    "Alright, I got it." Rhett nodded.


    Luca left the office earlier at four o''clock in the afternoon.


    She did not drive as she was heading to the ce the Ind of Despair had arranged. She hailed a taxi


    instead.


    As usual, Luca took two rides before she reached her destination.


    This time, the location was near the Western suburbs. There were run-down buildings everywhere with


    traces of time left on them.


    Luca found the building and pressed the doorbell.


    The door swung open. A woman narrowed her eyes and sized Luca up. Then, she asked, "Who are


    you looking for?"


    "I''m Ivana," replied Luca.


    "You''re Ivana?" The woman frowned. "But you looked like a local."


    "You''re the one who sent this message, right?" Luca showed her the message.


    The woman who looked to be from A City checked and said, "Show me your tattoo.."


    "I don''t have any tattoos on me. I''m carrying out a special mission," said Luca, "if you refuse to believe


    me, then I''m leaving."


    "Wait." A man marched out of the house, shot Luca a nce, and said, "Come in."
