Luca did not expose Jason when she listened to his explanation. It would be difficult to change anything once Luke had made his
decision.
“Mr. Doyle, I'm going downstairs," said Luca. The office was still in the midst of being cleaned. She had no choice but to head to
the office downstairs to organize the meeting minutes.
"Alright. They'll finish cleaning the office today. Dr. Craw, you may come upstairs to work tomorrow morning." Jason smiled
politely. Although he had no idea why Luke made this arrangement, nothing would ever go wrong if he listened to his boss.
"Sure." Luca nodded.
She went back to her office downstairs. She received an email from the company after a while.
It was her transfer letter.
Rhett knocked on the door and entered. He had seen the transfer letter as well and wanted to ask what had happened.
"Dr. Craw, are you busy?" Rhett was wondering if he would be disturbing her when he saw her with her earphones on and her
fingers continuously typing on the keyboard.
Luca stopped what she was doing and pressed the pause button on the recording pen. Then, she looked at him. "What's the
matter?"
"Well, I saw the transfer letter. I'd like to know what's going on," answered Rhett. Who would be leading their research if Luca
was transferred upstairs?
Luca was the one who guided the research team. It would be unfair to Luca if someone took over her job.
"Have all of you seen the transfer letter already?" Luca took off her earphones.
"Yes, everyone is confused. That's why they wanted me to ask you." Rhett was not a gossipy person, but he had to find out what
had happened this time.
It was unfair to Luca if someone took over her job, and was the project going to be put on hold if no one was taking over?
Of course, they would not want the project to be put on hold after all the hard work they had put in. Moreover, their research on
the new drug boasted the fastest progress in the company.
"Don't worry. The project will go on as usual, and I'll still be guiding the research. But I'll have to manage both sides. Oh, I'd like
to promote you to assistant manager. Mr. Crawford will be sending a few assistants here in a couple of days. You'll be managing
things here most of the time. And you can head upstairs to look for me if there's any major problem," said Luca. The new
assistants would be here to take up some of her work responsibilities. She would not have to worry about passing her job to
Rhett and letting him lead the whole team either.
“Me? Dr. Craw, I can't do that." Rhett shook his head immediately, thinking that he would not be capable enough for this.
After all, even though it did not take him long to achieve such a good performance in this industry, it was all because Luca had
been guiding him.
"You can. You're capable. And it's not like I'm leaving. I'm busy with the current project that the company is currently handling, so
I'll need your help to watch over the team for me. If anything happens, I'll handle it." Luca tried to convince him. She had done
such projects before, so she knew that this tender project would keep her busy.
She thought that Rhett would not have to manage the research team for too long. She would be able to leave the job to the
Russian translator after she came back.
Rhett had no choice but to agree.
Luca put on her earphones again and switched on the recording pen after he left. She continued to listen to the recording and
transcribe the meeting minutes.
She checked the document thoroughly for any spelling mistakes after organizing the minutes. Then, she sent the document to
Jason's email.
Luca let out a sigh of relief and put away the recording pen.
She looked at her current office. Luke had prepared this office for her with a security camera installed.
Would he install another security camera when she moved into the other office?
Luca's phone notification rang. She glanced at it and saw a string of numbers.
She translated the message, and it was asking her how things were going now.
Luca replied to the message with the number code as well. She told them that everything was going smoothly.
Then, she received another string of numbers. They were warning her not to play tricks with them. She would be punished if she
could not get the tender document.
After she saw the threat, Luca leaned on the office chair and was lost in thoughts.
She was not afraid of being punished. Instead, she was afraid that she might disappoint Luke...
Luca had a plan in mind when she thought of this.
Jason called her to inform her that the office was ready when it was about time to get off work. He asked her to come upstairs to
take a look if she needed anything more.
Luca was going to say there was no need to. She was fine with anything, but she could not take Jason's persuasion. Hence, she
could only head upstairs and look at the office.
She ran into Zoey when she walked out of her office.
Zoey was carrying a form in her hands and walking toward her. "Dr. Craw, here's a document I need you to sign."
"What document is that?" Luca asked.
"It's for the expenses of the office supplies in the office. It's not a big deal. All you have to do is sign it," Zoey smiled as she said.
"Won't you be working upstairs from tomorrow onward? That's why I advanced funds for the office supplies expenses in the next
quarter. You can just sign it."
Luca glanced at it. It was indeed the document for advancing office supplies expenses. She briefly looked at it and checked if
there was anything wrong with it. Then, she signed her name on the paper and handed the document back to Zoey.
Zoey took it from her. It looked like she had something to say but she did not know how to start.
"What's the matter?" Luca knew she had something to tell her, so she took the initiative to ask.
"Dr. Craw, everyone in the office knows about your transfer letter now." Zoey hesitated for a moment but eventually still chose to
tell her. After all, Luca was a good superior. Although she was not close to her, there was no harm in telling Luca about this.
"Yes," Luca replied. She knew that the transfer letter had been sent to everyone. Since she received it, everyone in the office
would have as well.
"Although it's hard to tell whether this is a promotion or not, it's good to be working directly under the boss. However, many
people may find it hard to accept. It's best if you keep a low profile for the next few days." Zoey reminded Luca.
"Alright. I got it. Thank you for reminding me. Off you go now. I have to go upstairs." Luca knew the transfer was going to arouse
a lot of suspicion and confusion. However, she had always been keeping things low. The matter would not have attracted so
much attention if it had not been for Luke.
Zoey had no idea if Luca would really keep what she said in mind. After everything she had told her, Luca would listen to her if
she understood what she meant. If Luca did not get her meaning, then she could not do anything about it either.
Luca took the elevator and went upstairs. She walked toward the office and saw a cleaner carrying something that looked like a
sleeping bag into the office.
A sleeping bag?
Luca came forward and saw Jason instructing those people where things should be placed.
The decorations were chic and unique at first glance. It did not seem like a temporary office to her.
It looked like it was an office for long-term use.
