"Okay, Dr. Craw." Mo retreated to the room to prepare coffee for her.


    On the other hand, Rhett stood there, waiting for Luca to finish reading the materials he prepared.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    The office was dead silent.


    Luca opened the documents that Rhett handed over and speedily read through the contents.


    Rhett was still a little nervous as he watched her flip through to thest page. He was worried that the


    material he had prepared independently would not be good enough to make her satisfied.


    Luca closed the documents after reading them. Without giving Rhett any trouble, she handed the files


    to him and said bluntly, "Very well done. These are the materials I want. You can copy these and send


    them to the meeting room."


    "Right away." Rhett took the documents. His spirits were lifted by Luca''s approval, which made him


    excited.


    Rhett walked out of Luca''s office with the documents. At the same time, Mo walked to the door with a


    cup of coffee.


    She saw him and whispered, "Did you pass?"


    Mo knew that this was the first time that Rhett hadpleted such an important task independently. He


    did not have any confidence without Luca guiding him.


    However, this was an order from above, and he could only follow it.


    With an uncontroble smile on Rhett''s face, he nodded. "Yes, I''m going to make a copy now."


    Mo was a little surprised but still nodded and said, "Congrattions."


    In the beginning, she did not think that Rhett could meet the standard that Luca wanted.


    However, he was able toplete this task alone. Mo looked at the coffee in her hand, feeling a little


    uneasy inside.


    She chose to be an assistant in this department, not a professor''s assistant.


    This was because she felt that an independent research assistant would be very busy. They would


    have to shoulder a lot of responsibilities too.


    She and Rhett joined thepany at the same time. Rhett had made progress, but she was still where


    she was.


    He could handle these documents alone, but she was still doing chores for various professors, dealing


    with trivial matters that had little to do with the profession...


    For the first time, Mo felt she was missing out.


    It took her a few seconds to suppress the sense of missing out in her heart. Then, she walked into


    Luca''s office with a cup of coffee.


    "Dr. Craw, your coffee," Mo had a smile on her face. She had been in the workforce for such a long


    time, so she was able to hide her true emotions with a smile.


    "Thank you." Luca took the coffee and took a big gulp. The bitter coffee slid down her throat and into


    her stomach. The caffeine had not kicked in yet, but the warmth in the coffee gave her body a pick-me-


    up.


    Mo nced at the time and reminded her. "Dr. Craw, it''s time for the meeting."


    "I know. You go and prepare first. I''ll be thereter," Luca said, taking another sip of coffee.


    She nned to finish this cup of coffee before going in. Although she was sleepy, her current state was


    still able to cope with work.


    She just wanted to make her work better through coffee.


    Mo nodded slightly, walked out of Luca''s office, and nned to make some tea and coffee for the


    researchers in the conference room. Then, she saw Rhetting out of the assistant''s office with a


    large stack of copied documents. Rhett nodded to her and then walked to the conference room.


    Mo felt even more ufortable.


    They had the same starting line. Of course, they should be doing the same kind of work.


    Now, Rhett''s scope of work was wider than hers. Not only could he participate in the experiment, but he


    could also do many things with Luca.


    On top of that, the prize money for those research projects...


    Not only did she not have these, but she still had to still serve refreshments to those professors and


    researchers...


    Mo looked at Rhett''s back, wondering if she had got it all wrong before.


    Perhaps if she had gotten closer to Luca, this position would not have belonged to Rhett.


    Luca finished her cup of coffee before walking slowly to the conference room.


    The researchers in her group were already sitting there waiting for her in the conference room.


    "Sorry, I was slightly dyed by certain matters. Let''s start the meeting now," Luca said as she sat


    down. She turned on theptop and started the meeting with them.


    Meanwhile, Luke arrived at the provincial capital on the dot ording to the time Jack proposed. Jack


    had asked his secretary to make tea while waiting for him. When he was about to speak, the secretary


    knocked on the door and entered, informing Jack that the meeting that should start in an hour suddenly


    needed to be brought forward.


    Those who attended the meeting today included officials from other governments.


    Jack had no choice but to request Luke to go home first.


    Luke knew that Jack had an impromptu meeting and proposed that he could wait in the reception room


    and wait.


    He knew that Jack must want to talk to him about something highly confidential seeing as he asked him


    toe to the provincial capital.


    The provincial capital, especially Jack''s reception room and office, were ces with the highest level of


    confidentiality.


    After the incident with the Norman family, Jack no longer trusted the Norman family. Although he had a


    professional security team, he was worried that someone with bad intentions would eavesdrop on what


    he nned to tell Luke. Thus, he chose to talk here.


    Choosing to be in the provincial capital meant that Luke was a visitor, not Jack''s son-inw.


    However, the level of privacy here was top-tier.


    Therefore, Luke waited for almost two hours.


    During this period, he was not idle. He used his mobile phone to work and dealt with a lot of work


    matters.


    The receptionist of the provincial capital came in several times to refill his tea.


    More than two hourster, Jack ended the meeting. Instead of returning to the office to rest, he went


    directly to the reception room and said to his secretary beside him, "I have something to discuss with


    Mr. Crawford. Don''t let anyone in."


    "Yes." The secretary nodded and stood outside the reception room.


    The door of the reception room was pushed open. Luke put away his phone, stood up, and greeted the


    person who came in.


    Jack nodded, waved to him and said, "Have a seat."


    Luke waited for him to sit down before sitting down himself.


    As soon as he sat down, Jack asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time? I thought you left


    already."


    After all, Luke was usually very busy with work, so Jack was a little surprised that he was able to sit


    here for two hours.


    "You reached out to me. I must wait for you no matter what," Luke expressed his determination.


    This was normal even if Jack was not his father-inw. Furthermore, it was important for him to do so


    because Jack was still his father-inw.


    When his father-inw had something to say and reached out to him, he would definitely obey the old


    man''s orders no matter how busy he was and wait here obediently.


    "I''ve already taken up enough of your time, so I''ll make it short." Jack was very satisfied with what Luke


    said and went straight to the point.


    Luke nodded. He should listen carefully when Jack is speaking.


    "I asked you here today because I want to talk about two things. It just so happens that neither of these


    two things can be made known to others, so I chose to talk to you here. You''re so smart, so you


    would''ve guessed this," Jack hade in with his thermos in his arms. After saying this, he opened the


    thermos and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.
