"It''s on the fifth floor,” replied Rhett as he pressed the button heading toward the fifth floor.


    Luca nodded and watched the number that gradually went up as the elevator rose.


    Rhett asked, “Dr. Craw, have you reviewed the report yet?”


    “I did. But I think something''s missing. I''d like to request more funds for this project. We have to hold a


    meeting next Monday,” answered Luca. She did not intend to discuss work with Rhett now. However,


    she decided to go along with it since he brought it up.


    "Sure." Rhett nodded. Mo Stone was more familiar with the paperwork. He knew it would be much


    easier for Luca with him and Mo Stone helping her.


    Ding. The elevator door slowly opened when it arrived on the fifth floor.


    Luca stepped out of the elevator, and Rhett led her to the left. "Gabrie Hall.”


    "Alright.” Luca followed Rhett into the banquet hall.


    Many employees were already seated.


    Someone noticed Luca''s arrival and said, "Dr. Craw is here.”


    It caught everyone''s attention, and they turned to look at Luca.


    Dr. Jackson walked toward Luca with a smile on his face and congratted her, "Congrattions, Dr.


    Craw.”


    "Thank you, but this is the product of everyone"s efforts.” Luca felt ufortable with all the attention


    that was given to her. However, it reminded her that the attention she received was much more than


    that when she stood next to Lukest time.


    If she could pull it throughst time, she would be able to deal with it now since she was just an


    employee of Watson Biopharmaceuticals.


    Hence, Luca held her head high and stood straight, trying to show her humbleness as their gazes fell


    on her.


    "Dr. Craw, where''s your seat? Do you need me to take you there?" asked Dr. Jackson. Watsons had


    yet to find a recement for the position of general manager. Moreover, the research department was


    thepany''s most important department. Dr. Jackson had taken over Dr. Cole''s position. Therefore,


    he had the same position as the previous general manager.


    That was why he was particrly concerned about the dinner tonight.


    "It''s okay, Dr. Jackson. Rhett and I will sit over there." Luca declined his offer.


    "Alright." Dr. Jackson had nothing more to say.


    Luca walked in front of Rhett, while Rhett followed beside her.


    Luca sat down at the front table. Rhett sat with other researchers at the table beside her.


    Other professors were present too.


    "Good evening, professors," Luca greeted them. She did not address them one by one since there


    were many of them there.


    "Dr. Craw, you look beautiful tonight," Dr. Linwood replied first.


    He heard that Dr. Craw was already preparing for a new research project. It made those who were still


    working on the first project envious of her.


    However, their research progress was indeed slower than the others. Even though Dr. Linwood was


    jealous of her, he did not say anything rude to her to prevent himself from losing his grace.


    "Thank you." Luca graciously epted hispliment.


    "Dr. Linwood, you''re right. Not only does Dr. Craw looks pretty, but she''s also knowledgeable. There''s


    no need to doubt her expertise in this field." Another professor went along with it.


    Luca gave him a faint smile. She had already expected to hear such ttering remarks at an event like


    this. After all, it was thepany''s dinner.


    However, these professors were her seniors. They spoke with discretion, and they would not


    embarrass Luca even though they were jealous of her.


    "Well, I already knew that Dr. Craw was a talent. Look how urate my prediction was. Not only did


    sheplete the project and bring huge profits to thepany, but she''s also starting her second


    research soon. That''s impressive," Dr. Linwood said with a smile on his face. "Dr. Craw, I heard that


    you''re going to request funding for your second project. We''re all curious about it. What is it about?"


    Luca did not try to hide anything. She replied, "It''s a drug to treat liver disease."


    "Liver disease?" Dr. Linwood nced at other professors before he turned around and looked at Luca.


    "Even though the chances of getting liver or kidney disease has increased due to modern lifestyle and


    work pressure, the drug for this research isn''t as highly utilized as your first research."


    Luca nodded.


    When Abel asked her to take two research projects from Shanks, Luca chose the drug for cancer as


    the first one and the second one was the drug for liver disease.


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Her beloved foster father, Kevin Rayne, passed away because of an unhealthy liver.


    If he had taken the drug that Shanks developed in the early stages of his liver disease, he might not


    have died at such a young age.


    Therefore, Luca did not even hesitate for a second. She chose to work on the drug for liver disease.


    "But still..." Dr. Linwood could not understand her. He thought Luca would aim higher for her research.


    "Are you studying rare liver diseases?"


    "No, I just think that any drug that can benefit patients is a good drug. I''ve been studying this since


    college. That''s why I really want to develop the drug," exined Luca.


    "Dr. Craw is right. Drugs that can treat patients are good medicine." Another professor agreed to it.


    "True." Dr. Linwood stopped being surprised and said, "Any drug that''s beneficial to patients is also an


    innovative drug, even if it''s used to treat a cold."


    Luca smiled.


    Luca''s performance made her stand out prominently in thispany. If it were not for Dr. Albus and the


    others who tried to hide her prominence, she could have finished the researchter.


    However, there was no way she could dy the research after what happened to Dr. Albus.


    The other professors seemed to be halfway working on their research project. That was why she had to


    proceed with the research and make it sessful.


    If one who stood in such a high position conducted ordinary research, the professors might talk about


    that person behind their back.


    However, Luca could not be bothered about that...


    Luca only wanted to study this medicine. She strived to bring good news to patients with liver disease.


    However, she was not the one who formted it. The credit all went to Shanks.


    Shanks'' medicine was good. It could have a significant impact when it was used on patients who were


    suffering from liver disease.


    However, Shanks'' drug recipe had not undergone any tests or clinical trials. The drug could not be


    given to the patients yet. This was something that Luca needed to work on.


    "Dr. Craw, is Mr. Crawfording tonight?" Another research professor asked.


    Luca was startled for a moment.


    Luke had arranged a stylist for her, but he did not say whether he woulde or not.


    "I''m not sure about that, Dr. Linwood." Luca turned to look at Dr. Linwood.


    Dr. Linwood smiled and replied, "How could I possibly know if even Dr. Craw doesn''t know if Mr.


    Crawford ising tonight?"


    Luca''s smile stiffened. It seemed like there was something between Dr. Linwood''s lines.
