Jason had spoken on behalf of Luca. Jenni pouted and did not continue to speak.
She was unconvinced. Luca was merely a researcher, yet she was still able to participate in such a big project meeting.
If the project succeeded, it would be the largest architectural design project of the year for T Corporation...
People who took part in the project would receive a bonus reward and commission when the time came. The most important
thing was that one could gain Luke's recognition.
Luca listened to the conversation between Jason and Jenni. She was not bothered by it. What she had in mind was why Luke
asked her to attend the meeting.
Attending the meeting was equivalent to her being partly involved in the project.
Luca switched on her laptop. It had been a long time since she took minutes. She thought for a few seconds, then she opened a
folder.
Jason placed the recording pen beside her hand and said, “Dr. Craw, you can use the recording pen if you don't have one."
Luca indeed did not have one. She took it and thanked him with a smile on her face. "Thank you."
Jenni, who was sitting there, sneered when she saw this scene. Luca was using her good looks to hook up with Jason and Luke.
How shameless.
Jason distributed all the documents to everyone in the meeting room. Luke entered the meeting room right after he finished
distributing them.
Those people in the meeting room who were busy talking about the company's matter fell silent all of a sudden. They turned to
look at the man with the strong aura sitting down on the CEO's seat. They said in unison, "Good morning, Boss."
"Get ready for the meeting." Luke sat down and opened the document and laptop in front of him.
Luca looked down. The distance between both of them was very close as the seats were side by side. She could feel the man's
breath. Her hands trembled slightly as she switched on the recording pen.
Jason handed Luke the data, and the meeting officially began.
Luke was chairing the whole meeting. He talked about every detail in the tender planning that should be dealt with and asked
every department to be prepared for it.
Luca was taking the meeting minutes while listening to their discussion.
It had been a long time since she did this. It was a little difficult for her to do it now. She could barely catch up with their
discussion.
The meeting lasted for three hours. It seemed like it would end after their lunch break.
When the meeting finally ended and everything had been discussed thoroughly, the employees started to leave.
As Jenni watched the rest leave, she was thinking of showing off in front of Luke. Hence, she mustered her courage and came
up to Luke. “Boss, I have some personal thoughts about the project this time. I'd like to have a moment to share them with you."
Luke stood up and glanced at Jenni. Then, he continued to tidy up the meeting documents. "Who's this?"
Jenni was startled and felt embarrassed at the same time. However, she knew that she would not always be given a chance to
display her skills in front of Luke. Besides, T Corporation had so many employees, so it was normal for him to not remember her.
Jason almost burst out laughing, but he forced himself to hold back his laughter because of his professionalism. He said, "Boss,
this is Jenni from the planning department. The manager of the planning department isn't feeling well today, so she took a sick
leave. Jenni came to attend the meeting on her behalf."
Luke nodded as his gaze fell on Luca. Her fingers were still hitting the keyboard rapidly. It seemed like she was completing the
last part of the minutes.
He knocked on the table in front of her.
Luca was stunned for a moment. She lifted her head and looked at him. "Mr. Crawford?"
"Come to my office later," Luke ordered.
"Ah, alright." Luca had no idea what he was thinking about but she had no choice but to say yes.
Jenni would have thought that he was saying that to her if he had not knocked on the table. However, she knew she was being
completely ignored at this moment.
It was Luca again. She could attract Luke's attention by just sitting there!
She was indeed a seductress...
Jenni stared at her resentfully, and her hands were clenched into fists.
She had a good idea and refused to give up the chance to get Luke's attention. "Boss, I." Luke ignored her, and he left without
looking back.
Jenni stood there, dumbfounded. Even if he refused to listen to her, he should have at least given her a response. What the hell
was that?
Jason shook his head and reminded her, "Boss doesn't like people overstepping their authority. You have a superior. If you have
any good suggestions, you should report them to your superior. If your superior decides to implement them, then she'll report to
our boss."
Jenni was unconvinced. "My superior is in the hospital."
"She's not going to be in the hospital for the rest of her life. You'll only make others feel like you can't wait to overstep your
superior's authority if you're in such a hurry to do these things." Jason tidied up and gave her another reminder. "All you have to
do is do your part well."
Luca stood up and left with Jason without saying anything.
Jenni was stomping furiously as she watched them leave. At first, she thought she could get Luke's attention, but based on what
Jason had told her, Luke had probably given her a bad review in his heart.
No way! She had to do something.
After Luca left the meeting room, she got into the same elevator that was heading upstairs together with Jason.
She carried her laptop in her arms and thought of Luke's order just now. She was feeling slightly nervous. She could only ask
Jason if he knew something. He had always been beside Luke, so he must know something about it.
“Mr. Doyle, why do I feel like Mr. Crawford wants me to participate in the project this time?"
Jason grinned as he nodded, then he said, "It seems like it. But if you're asking me why the boss wants you involved, I truly don't
know."
"But my research has reached the most important stage. Tell me, can I..." Luca hesitated.
She did not want to participate in the project this time, but she would not be able to get the tendering document if she withdrew
herself. However, if she participated in this, she would be forced to do something to put Luke at a disadvantage.
"I'm not sure about this. Why don't you try to talk to the boss? He might have some other arrangements," replied Jason.
Luca nodded as she watched the elevator reach the top floor.
She walked out of the elevator and headed to Luke's office. Before this, she never thought that she would be going in and out of
here regularly again.
The office's door was left open as if it was waiting for her.
Luke stood beside the window. He heard noises, so he turned around and looked at Luca.
"Mr. Crawford, I might need some time to arrange the meeting minutes," said Luca. They were communicating in English without
using any foreign languages throughout the entire meeting just now.
"Don't worry about it. Move to the office next to Jason's from tomorrow onward," Luke ordered.
"Ah, do you mean you want me to participate in this project?" Luca was struggling as she asked the question she had been
keeping in her mind.
