"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.
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 the last 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 had completed 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 uncontrollable 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, "Congratulations."
In the beginning, she did not think that Rhett could meet the standard that Luca wanted.
However, he was able to complete 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis 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 the company 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 glanced at the time and reminded her. "Dr. Craw, it's time for the meeting."
"I know. You go and prepare first. I'll be there later," Luca said, taking another sip of coffee.
She planned 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 planned to make some tea and coffee
for the researchers in the conference room. Then, she saw Rhett coming 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 uncomfortable.
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 delayed by certain matters. Let's start the meeting now," Luca said
as she sat down. She turned on the laptop and started the meeting with them.
Meanwhile, Luke arrived at the provincial capital on the dot according 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 to come to the provincial capital.
The provincial capital, especially Jack's reception room and office, were places 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 planned 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-in-
law.
However, the level of privacy here was top-tier.
Therefore, Luke waited for almost two hours.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDuring 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 hours later, 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-in-law. Furthermore, it was important for
him to do so because Jack was still his father-in-law.
When his father-in-law 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 had come in with his thermos in his
arms. After saying this, he opened the thermos and took a sip of water to moisten his
throat.
