Chapter 1172

Lunch time. Luca arrived in the cafeteria and planned to eat something before she started working on her
experiment. The moment she walked into the cafeteria, she grabbed the attention of all the
employees. She knew what they were looking at and talking about but was not bothered. She ordered her meal
indifferently, walked to the table at the corner, and sat down. After she had two bites, Talia sat opposite her and greeted her in a soft voice, "Dr. Craw, you're
here." "Yeah." Luca raised her gaze slightly and resumed eating. "Why are you only eating vegetables? The chicken drumsticks today are good. I'll buy you some!"
Talia wanted to flatter Luca. She was different from the others. Although she despised Luca for joining Watson
Biopharmaceuticals through the back door, she did not show any of her displeasure. After all, she needed a favor from Luca. “It's alright, I have no appetite.” Luca turned her down. Talia, who had already stood up halfway, had to sit down awkwardly. She waited silently for Luca to be almost done with her meal before she asked, "Dr. Craw, I heard
that the technical department is recruiting assistants. I'm sure this was brought up in a meeting?"
"Yeah." Luca did not hide it. After their meeting earlier that day, Mo posted the notice on the
company's website. It was not confidential information. "You'll personally choose an assistant, then?" Talia asked in a soft voice. She thought that she was
better than her colleagues and should not have to stay in the administration department. She thought that she could display her talents well in the technical department. However, the
researchers in the technical department were old-fashioned and put a lot of emphasis on past
experience. She was a fresh graduate who did not stand much of a chance. That was why Talia wanted to get close to Luca. Although Luca came in through the back door, she
just needed Luca's help to get her into the technical department. Then, she could rely on her
knowledge to gain a foothold without needing Luca's help. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findηøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yeah." Luca nodded as she grabbed a napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth. "Then, will you choose me?” Talia was overjoyed when she heard it and blurted out her honest
thoughts. Luca paused and looked at her with a confused expression. "I already have an assistant. I don't need
to look for another assistant.” "What?!" Talia's voice was loud, arousing the attention of others. After she noticed that, she asked in
a softer voice, "Dr. Craw, weren't you..." She paused and decided to phrase it in another way. "Who's your assistant?” "Mr. Link," Luca said. Talia tightened her grip on the utensils. “She chose Rhett?!" She knew Rhett because they had attended the same interview session. The school Rhett graduated
from was not as good as hers but he had a few years of professional experience, so the company
hired him and he was in the first batch of assistants. "Isn't Rhett the assistant of the entire technical department? Why do you want him to be your
personal research assistant?" Talia asked. She never expected that Rhett would repeatedly ruin her
plans. She could accept that she lost the first round during the interview, but she did not expect that Rhett
would also beat her in being Luca's assistant. Talia could not believe it! "The technical department changed the rules, so Rhett is now my personal research assistant.” Luca
saw the jealousy in Talia's eyes and knew that she wanted nothing more than to join the technical
department. However, she was in no place to help. If it were before, she might show some compassion. However, she had to prioritize herself and did
not have much energy for others. "You want to join the technical department, don't you?" Luca asked. A streak of hope ignited in Talia's eyes as she replied, "Yes, Dr. Craw. Can you help me?" "Since you took this as a major, prepare yourself well. After the exam, you can enter the technical
department. I'm done eating, enjoy your meal." Luca then picked up the tray and left. Talia sat there and watched as Luca walked off. She bit her lower lip and felt bitter. Considering Luca's word choice, it was clear that she would not help Talia. Without Luca's help, it would not be easy for her to get into the technical department. After the last
blow, her confidence was shaky. Watson Biopharmaceuticals was picky with the assistants who would join the technical department.
She was not sure if she could do it alone. However, since Luca did not want to help her, she had no choice but to help herself! Talia withdrew her gaze silently. She had boasted to her colleagues in the administration
department saying that it was only a matter of time before she got into the technical department.
Talia did not want to lose her dignity! Luca left the canteen and returned to her office. She rested for a while before she started
experimenting. Rhett had gone through the relevant procedures and was officially Luca's assistant now. She was
working on the experiment while he assisted by recording all the data in detail. When Mo passed by the lab, she could not help but smile when she saw how focused Luca and
Rhett were on the experiment. Unexpectedly, Rhett still dared to approach Luca even after the news broke out. They knew about
their boss’ domineering personality. She was surprised that Rhett was not afraid of getting caught in
the crossfires. Mo shook her head and left. Toward the end of the workday, Luca received another email from Amur. After investigating, he
found the IP address of the reporter who posted the article and locked in on his location. Luca's expression turned gloomy when she saw the location on the map. If she did not put a pause to this, it would only grow out of control. In the end, she would become a
victim of public opinion. This might lead to her being fired from Watson Biopharmaceuticals, which she did not mind.
However, Abel would never allow such a thing to happen. She had no choice but to meet with this
reporter before it got worse. It took Amur an afternoon to find his address. She was sure that someone was backing the reporter.
Otherwise, how could a mere reporter hide his IP address so well? Luca put down the phone and was not in a rush to find the reporter. Instead, she slowly sorted out
all the research data before packing up and leaving. When she got to the elevator, she ran into Rhett. "Done for the day?" Luca asked with a smile on her face. "Yes, Dr. Craw. Are you done for the day too?" Rhett nodded. He did not expect her to leave work at
this time Half an hour had passed since the official working hours. The building was almost empty now.
"Yeah," Luca nodded. The elevator reached their floor and the two went in one after the other. Luca was not sure if the
reporters were still by the door, so she decided to go to the basement. Rhett saw this and asked curiously, "Dr. Craw, you drove?" "No." Luca denied it. Rhett touched his nose and saw that she was holding a cap and a mask in her hand. He assumed
that she was trying to avoid the reporters at the entrance. When the elevator reached the first floor, Rhett said goodbye to her and left, while Luca took the
elevator to the first floor of the basement. She walked through the lengthy parking lot and left
Watson Biopharmaceuticals.
