“Your worries have been settled now, so just eat," said Luke.


    Luca had to stop bringing it up as she knew that talking about it more did not mean that he would take


    action.


    The lunch break was over.


    Luca then prepared for the meeting about the drugunch with the researchers.


    Before the meeting started, she scanned through the data and found out that it was much better than


    expected.


    Most of it was Shank''s blood, sweat, and tears, so of course, it would work out well.


    Just as Luca entered the meeting room, Zoey came over to report, "Dr. Craw, there''s an important


    meeting at Watson that you have to attend."


    "When?" She asked.


    "An hour from now," Zoey replied.


    "So urgent?" Luca frowned as one hour was just enough time for her to get there. If it was really an


    important meeting, they would have notified her in advance.


    Without any advance notice, it was just an urgent meeting at most.


    Luca then linked this meeting to the phone call she received from the general manager this afternoon.


    "Yes, I told you right after I received Ms. Stone''s notice," Zoey said resignedly. Watson seemed to be all


    over the ce, unlike T Corporation which was always orderly whether it be work or other


    misceneous things.


    "Alright, I got it," said Luca as she looked at the researchers in the meeting room. "My apologies,


    everyone. You can work on other stuff for the time being. The meeting will have to be dyed, and I''ll


    have Ms. Davis notify you all then."


    The researchers nodded their heads and left with their files.


    Luca said to Rhett, "Mr. Link,e with me."


    "Okay, Dr. Craw." Rhett nodded.


    Luca and Rhett went downstairs together, and when they got to the parking lot, Warren was already


    waiting for them in the car.


    Luca was surprised as she had just informed Warren. He said that he would arrive in 10 minutes, but it


    has not even been 10 minutes yet.


    Had he always been close by?


    “Dr. Craw, please get in." Warren saw her and Rhett walking over, and he opened the door to the


    backseat.


    Luca sat in the car and noticed the seat was warm unlike the freezing weather outside as if the heater


    in the car had been turned on for a while.


    After Rhett sat in the passenger seat, the three of them rushed to Watson.


    After they reached Watson, Luca and Rhett went up to theboratory floor.


    She walked in and noticed that Dr. Linwood and the others were already inside waiting for them.


    Luca nced at the time on her watch. She was notte.


    "Good afternoon," she subtly greeted the people in the meeting room.


    "Dr. Craw, you''re here." Dr. Linwood greeted her first, and when she sat down, he sat beside her


    smilingly. "Dr. Craw, we heard that the data for phase three of clinical trials for your research is out?"


    "Yes, it came out today." Luca opened theptop.


    "How are the results?" Dr. Linwood showed concern.


    "It''s much better than predicted," Luca answered his question without telling him any additional


    information.


    "That''s impressive. The drug must be really effective. Once it''s on the market, it''ll be really beneficial to


    mankind," Dr. Linwood praised. Many of their clinical trial data were far from their expectations, and


    they barely met the listing requirements.


    However, Luca''s research had surpassed expectations.


    All the professors present knew about the prediction as they had been secretly discussing Luca''s report


    since the very beginning.


    They thought this research would not seed.


    Now, not only did she develop the drug, but it passed all three phases of the clinical trials and even


    exceeded the expected digits.


    Luca listened to hispliments while unfazed.


    Thesepliments came with a bit of sincerity, a touch of envy, and even some jealousy.


    She did not think it was anything impressive as all the early efforts came from Shanks anyway. She


    only joined afterward to lead the team in the research.


    With the groundworkid out, it made everything after it much easier.


    Hence, Luca did not think there was anything to be proud of.


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Her skills were far from Shanks.


    Dr. Linwood added, "Dr. Craw, did you bring the report for phase three of clinical trials? I''m really


    curious about the data in it."


    "Dr. Linwood, are you the one who''s curious, or is the general manager who''s curious?" Luca asked.


    While they were talking, the rest of the professors had entered the meeting room, but the general


    manager was nowhere to be seen.


    Luca reckoned that he was observing from afar.


    Dr. Linwood was taken aback. "Isn''t that the same? Everyone is curious about how excellent your


    report is. We''ve been doing research for so many years, but we''ve never seen a report as outstanding


    as yours, so we want to take a look at it."


    "I''m sorry, Dr. Linwood. Just think of me as overly cautious, but I won''t disclose the report until the drug


    has been patented and listed," Luca outright rejected him.


    Dr. Linwood was a little upset. Although he had not achieved much in thepany, he was much more


    well-known in the industrypared to Luca.


    Yet, she dared to reject him. The report was not an important top-secret document either.


    "Dr. Craw, if you don''t want to, forget it. We were just curious," said Dr. Linwood.


    "It''s just a phase three clinical trials report, so it''s indeed not some top-secret document. After the Dr.


    Albus case, I''m worried the drug will fail to apply for a patent and can''t be marketed, so it''s best to keep


    the data a secret for now. Otherwise, if something happens, we need to expand the scope of the


    investigation," Luca said to Dr. Linwood.


    What happened to Dr. Albus was a lesson for them too.


    Dr. Albus had shown the data to several of them because he was facing difficulties, and during that


    time, all of them became suspects.


    It made everyone panic.


    Dr. Linwood was stunned as she had a point.


    She kept the data confidential not because she was petty but because it was a safety measure to


    prevent it from getting stolen.


    He was the one to me for listening to the advice of others.


    Dr. Linwood hurriedly said, "You''re right. I shouldn''t have asked you for it no matter how curious I was.


    I''ll ask you again after you''ve applied for the patent."


    "By then, I can even show you the whole research report," Luca said while looking toward the


    surveince camera in the meeting room.


    "Okay, it''s a deal." After finishing his words, Dr. Linwood returned to his seat.


    There were not many people around Luca, so Rhett leaned closer and whispered, "Dr. Craw, it seems


    like many people are interested in the clinical trials data..."


    "That''s not it. In fact, it has always been just one person," Luca said. The general manager came in


    late.
