Luke handed her the rice. "Don't think too much about it. Eat first."
Luca looked at him properly. "Mr. Crawford, aren't you worried?"
Although she was the one who betrayed the data and information in Dr. Albus' case, this general manager did not
seem to have good intentions at the time either. However, she was quicker to make a move, so it did not have
much to do with him.
"When the time comes, some people will let the cat out of the bag, but until then, what do you think he'll do?" Luke
asked.
"Oh no..." Luca stood up.
"What is it?" Luke tilted his head slightly to look at her nervous expression.
"I suspect that someone in my research group is helping the general manager, but I already had Ms. Davis print out
the data report of phase three of the clinical trials. Now, everyone has a copy in their hands," Luca said.
Luke put down his utensils slowly. He was not concerned about the data at first, but after seeing how concerned
Luca was, she would not be able to eat in peace if he did not do anything about it.
He stood up and walked out.
"Mr. Crawford?" Luca was startled, and she called his name while looking at him walk out.
"Aren't you worried? Come on. Let's have a short meeting with them," Luke said while opening the door.
"Right away." Luca did not forget that Luke was picky. If the food got cold, it would affect the taste and texture.
Hence, she put the lid back on before hurrying out of her office.
Luke walked into the assistant office and saw that only Zoey was there.
She jumped up upon seeing Luke. "Good afternoon, Mr. Crawford."
"Good afternoon. Inform everyone in this department that there'll be a short meeting." After finishing his words,
Luke glanced back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca caught up to him.
"Right now?" Zoey was flabbergasted as it was lunchtime, so all the people in the department had already gone
downstairs to eat except for her because she was watching her weight.
"Yes, I'll give them ten minutes. Ten minutes later, I want everyone in the meeting room," said Luke while looking at
the time on his watch.
"Yes, sir." Zoey hurriedly picked up the phone on her desk to relay Luke's message to everyone.
After notifying Zoey, Luke walked toward the laboratory.
Luca walked up to Zoey and whispered, “Ms. Davis, can you order an A-meal for all of them, please? I'll pay you
back later."
She reckoned that they probably did not have enough time to get takeout because of Luke's sudden call for a
meeting, so she had Zoey order food for them.
"Alright, Dr. Craw," Zoey agreed.
10 minutes later, all of the researchers gathered in the meeting room.
They dared not chatter with Luke in the chairman's seat and Luca next to him. They just sat quietly around the
meeting table.
"Mr. Crawford, everyone's here," Luca told him.
Luke's cold gaze scanned everyone present, and he slowly spoke, "According to Dr. Craw, the research data for
phase three of the clinical trials is out and each one of you has a copy, is that correct?"
"Yes," a few researchers said simultaneously.
"Very well. This data is a top-secret document, and it's directly tied to whether the drug will successfully enter the
market. So, I would like for all of you to do your job in guarding the information. Don't let any outsider who has
nothing to do with the research get their hands on it, not even the higher-ups of Watson Biopharmaceuticals. If the
leakage of data affects the drug launching, I'll have no tolerance for the person responsible no matter who it is."
Cruel words came out of Luke's mouth.
The researchers looked at each other without making any sound.
"Do you understand?" Luke asked.
"Understood," the researchers answered.
Luke looked at Luca. This should have done it, right?
Luca nodded slightly and added, "Mr. Crawford, is there anything else you'd like to add?"
"No, you may continue." Luke knew that she had something to tell the researchers, so he stood up and left.
After Luke left the meeting room, several researchers were obviously relieved as Luke's presence was too
overwhelming. Being under his watch, their nerves were tense and their bodies were stiff. They were in fear that
they would be called out and criticized.
Luca looked at them. "There's a reason why Mr. Crawford said so. The general manager of Watson
Biopharmaceuticals asked me for the clinical trial data. He knew about it the moment it came out, and I think a
non-researcher asking me for this information is violating the rules and regulations. I want everyone to avoid
making such mistakes. Mr. Crawford only said so much because I reported it to him. We're not trying to target
anyone, so don't worry."
A researcher raised his hand and spoke, "Dr. Craw, are you saying that even if other research professors ask us for
it, we can't give it to them?"
"Yes. After our experience with Dr. Albus, we should be more cautious. If the data leaks and it affects the drug
launch, it'll affect the company's profits. I think everyone will be in trouble by then," said Luca. Everyone at T
Corporation knew how well Luke's people were at investigating.
"Understood, Dr. Craw." The researchers agreed one after another.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alright, the meeting is adjourned. I've asked Tina to order A-meals for you all, so you don't have to go downstairs
to eat." After Luca was done speaking, she walked out of the meeting room.
After returning to the office, she pushed open the door to see Luke waiting for her on the couch.
Luca walked in and closed the door behind her.
After sitting on the couch, she saw that Luke had filled her plate with food and knew instantly that the plate was
hers.
“Time to eat." Luke handed her the plate filled with food.
As expected, Luca had no choice but to accept it after he handed it over. She picked up her utensils and started
eating slowly.
"Did you notice anything just now?" Luke asked as he noticed that she kept looking toward the researchers when he
was talking as if she was trying to see through their expressions.
"Nothing. Maybe I was just overthinking," said Luca. It would be better if she was just overthinking. At least they
would not make that mistake after warning them.
If the general manager asked them for the phase three clinical trial data, they would definitely pass the matter on
to her, so there would not be a problem.
"You'll know if you're thinking too much soon enough." Luke picked up a piece of fish.
Luca saw him meticulously get rid of the fish bones and quickly said, "Mr. Crawford, you don't have to give me more
food. I can't finish everything."
"You eat too little." Luke had no choice but to stop feeding her.
While eating, Luca looked at him and something suddenly occurred to her. "Have you already investigated the real
identity of the general manager?"
"Why do you say so?" Luke asked her back while eating.
"I guessed it," Luca said. Luke looked very calm as if he already had everything under control.
On second thought, there were not many people who could make Luke act out of character, so his calm and
collected manner did not mean anything anyway.
