Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 1146 Someone Others Looked Up To
Luca noticed that her heartbeat was accelerating. Luke, who used to be aloft, rarely looked at others like this.
He did not care about others. Engaging in simple conversations would already be a test of his patience.
He had always been someone others looked upto. He never lowered his gaze for anyone.
Luke frowned. 'She thinks she would be disturbed by sending Tommy back?
Luca knew him well.
In the past, he would launch a thorough investigation into her life, but now, he had no such intentions.
"What are you hiding?" Luke put his hands in his pockets, his deep-set eyes staring straight at her.
"I’m sure Mr. Crawford has had me investigated." Luca's expression was calm. Luke did not suspect a thing.
"I didn't ask anyone to investigate you," Luke said.
Luca was a little surprised, but it was not because she was afraid that he would find out anything about her. After all, Abel got a
group of people to work meticulously to make sure that there was nothing about her that would raise suspicion.
She was just surprised that he did not investigate her.
Luca was taken back. 'Maybe he didn't launch an investigation because he regards me as an ordinary employee?’
Sometimes, she hoped that Luke would discover something during his investigation and dig further. Maybe he could find
something...
"Why don't you want to be disturbed?" Luke asked.
Luca put on a smile that did not reach her eyes. "Does this question have to be answered?"
Luke realized that he had asked a stupid question, but whenever he came into contact with her, he would get a strange feeling.
He just knew he wanted to continue talking with her.
It did not matter what they were talking about as long as he could listen to her voice.

"No," Luke said.
Hearing his answer, Luca's expression became serious as she said, "I didn't take your son in to get anything in return, so I didn't
show my face. Since you've found out, just know that I do what I want to do. Helping your son was something that I wanted to do.
I have no other intentions."
She had been around Luke for many years and knew him well. If she could not provide a logical explanation, she was afraid it
would be even harder to explain in the future.
"Okay." Luke was inexplicably upset when he heard her reply.
'She just wanted to help? She has no motives?’ "Also, Mr. Crawford, let's reduce the number of such private conversations in the
future. I don’t want to be the topic of gossip," Luca said. Luke's actions had indirectly pushed her into the abyss.
Others would start making up stories in their heads.
She just wanted to work in peace and did not want to be looked at by others with ambiguous stares.
Luke was annoyed seeing that she wanted to draw a line between them. He squinted at the woman in front of him and said
coldly, "There’s nothing between us to be gossiped about."
When Luca heard that, she took a deep breath.
The air conditioner in the corridor was strong, and the man in front of her overwhelmed her. She felt as if she had difficulty
breathing and was unwilling to stay any longer, so she asked, "Mr. Crawford, can I go in now?" "Yeah," Luke said.
Luca nodded slightly at him and walked back to the conference room.
The welcome party in the conference room went on. Luca stood in the corner with a glass of champagne. She had no intention of
talking to the other researchers.
They were all much older than her. If she initiated a chat, they might think she was deliberately flattering them. Besides, she was
not bothered to build workplace relationships.
Luca thought that it was best if she stayed low-key.
After she walked in, Jason walked out of the conference room and Luke never came in again.

An hour later, the welcome party ended. Everyone had something to drink today, so they would not be working. The two
assistants brought them around to familiarize themselves with the company's various departments and then handed them the
office keycard.
After Luca received the card, she walked back to the office. The professor behind her was still discussing having lunch together.
She had no intention of participating.
Dr. Cole Kidman was the head of the research department. Looking at Luca, he frowned unhappily. Although she was good-
looking, her attitude was not the most welcoming.
'She was called out by the boss just now but the boss did not talk to the rest of us alone...’
Dr. Cole guessed that Luca was just another pretty face who came in through the backdoor. Thinking of this, he despised her
even more.
A professor who was talking to him diverted his attention.
Luca walked back to the office and closed the door, not wanting to be disturbed.
She sat on the sofa to sober up. Even after three years, she was not much of a drinker.
An hour later, there was a knock on her office door. Luca did not stand up and asked, "Who is it?" "Dr. Craw, I'm Mo Stone. I'm
here to inform you that we’ll be having lunch together at noon. Dr. Cole arranged it." A woman's voice sounded.
Mo was the female assistant who welcomed them.
Luca remembered the conversations of those middle-aged men and had no interest in attending. She stood up and opened the
door while holding her forehead. "Please tell Dr. Cole that I don't feel well after drinking today. I don’t want to be a wet blanket by
showing up."
Seeing her appearance, Mo nodded, turned around, and told Dr. Cole what Luca said.
When Dr. Cole heard that, his face turned sour in an instant. "She's drunk?"
Mo shook her head. She had seen how a drunk person would act. ’ Doesn't seem like it. She just seems unwell." "It doesn't
matter. Since Dr. Craw doesn’t wish to join us for lunch, we shouldn't force her.” Dr. Cole was pissed, but as the leader of the

department, he could not go too far no matter how furious he was. After making some thought-provoking remarks, he turned and
walked out of the conference room.
Several of the researchers followed.
Mo touched her chin and told Rhett Link, who was also an assistant, "It seems that Dr. Craw has already offended Dr. Cole on
her first day." "Yeah, but I can't blame her. I heard that Dr. Craw came back from Russia. Maybe the workplace culture that she’s
used to is different from ours, so we can't blame her for not understanding the way things work here. On the contrary, Dr. Cole
should be more understanding," Rhett replied and then called the logistics department to ask them to send someone to clean up
the conference room.
"Tsk tsk, you mean that Dr. Craw didn't do anything wrong? She should learn how to fit in. Since Dr. Craw wants to develop her
career here, she should understand these unspoken rules. I thought you were someone reasonable, but it seems like you've
been distracted by her beauty." Mo was joking but seemed a little sour.
