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

Luca frowned slightly because of Mo's words. She put down the document and looked up at the person standing anxiously in
front of her. She only needed one assistant.
If she had one more, not only would there be nothing for the new assistant to do, but the other professors would not be happy
about it.
All research professors only had one research assistant. If she had one more assistant, what would the other professors think? It
was impossible for Luke to recruit a new batch of assistants to satisfy the professors.
Luke shook her head slightly. Although she did not know why Mo wanted to be her assistant all of a sudden, she still rejected.
“Ms. Stone, I don't need another assistant."
Mo bit her lower lip embarrassedly as she gave it another chance. "Dr. Craw, don't get me wrong. I just want to gain more
professional knowledge, and I thought that I would be able to learn more like Mr. Link if I worked for you."
Luca had no plans to replace Rhett since he was capable and not a gossiper. Whether it be about research or her personal life,
Rhett was not curious about her like the others.
She was satisfied with Rhett, so she did not need Mo. "In that case, perhaps you should ask the other professors. Maybe they
need an extra assistant."
After Luca said that, Mo saw no point in trying to fight for it anymore.
With a forced smile, she glanced at the thick stack of documents on the table and thought to herself that if she had competed
with Rhett in the beginning, Luca would have definitely chosen her.
She was just one project late...
"I'll be leaving then, Dr. Craw." Mo knew that she could not say anything to convince Luca, so she could only leave in
embarrassment.
"Alright." Luca nodded as her gaze fell on the documents again.
She did not know why Mo wanted to work for her all of a sudden, but she did not need a new assistant, so she did not question it
any further.
When Mo left Luca's office, she clenched her fists and looked down. She just wanted to be given a chance.

However, Luca could not give that to her.
As for the other professors.
Mo did not bother as the other professors were not short of assistants too. She was a fresh graduate from a school that the
professors look down on...
Mo had mixed feelings. She looked back at the closed office door with resentment in her eyes.
After Mo left, Luca worked overtime for another 30 minutes before returning to the mansion.
Luke was not back yet.
Aunt Neile saw that Luca was back and asked with a smile, “Ms. Craw, why are you back so late?"
“Something came up in the office, which made me late," explained Luca.
"You and Sir are busy people." Aunt Neile shook her head. "Mr. Crawford is working overtime too. Would you like to have dinner
now?"
"Sure." Luca was not surprised to hear that Luke was working overtime.
Luke was even busier than her, so working overtime was expected.
However, she realized that he probably had not had dinner yet, so she sent Jason a text. [Mr. Doyle, are you free?]
Jason quickly responded: [Dr. Craw, what is it?]
[I heard that you're working overtime. Has Mr. Crawford had dinner yet?] Luca tapped send after typing.
She felt like something was not right, so she added: [I mean if he hasn't had dinner yet, Aunt Neile can leave some for him. I
don't want to bother Mr. Crawford, so I'm asking you instead.]
She typed quickly and sent the text before Jason could reply.
After a while, Jason replied: [Dr. Craw, don't worry. Mr. Crawford has already had dinner.]
Reading his reply, Luca could feel the blood rush to her face.

Jason could clearly see her trying to cover up her concern. She reckoned that she was blushing as she touched her flushed face.
Luca sat at the dining table.
Aunt Neile came out with dinner and noticed Luca's rosy cheeks, which were not like that just now. She said with concern, "Ms.
Craw, why is your face so red?"
"Maybe the heating in the house isn't warm enough." Luca simply explained as she could not tell Aunt Neile that she was
embarrassed that Jason saw through her concern for Luke.
Aunt Neile was puzzled. It was almost summer, so the heating in the house had been cut off.
Luca was already picking up the utensils, so she stopped asking.
Luca drank two mouthfuls of soup and took another mouthful of bread before asking Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, what soup is this?"
"It's mushroom soup," Aunt Neile replied.
"I see. Leave some for Mr. Crawford," said Luca. Although Luke had already eaten, he might be hungry when he came home
from work.
If he was hungry, he could have some soup. If he wanted supper, she could use the soup as a sauce to make pasta.
"I've already left some for him, and not just one bowl too. He's been working very hard, so he needs the energy," Aunt Neile
sighed.
“Yup, you're right. Oh, Aunt Neile, do you know how to pick herbs?" Luca asked suddenly.
“Herbs? I can tell the difference between good herbs and bad herbs. The Crawford family buys expensive medicinal herbs from
the same place because the owner is trustworthy and won't lie to the Crawford family's maids," said Aunt Neile. The quality of
some herbs depended on the price, but some dishonest owners might fool buyers who did not know the difference by selling low-
quality ones for the price of the higher-quality ones.
However, the Crawford family had been buying herbs from the same place for some time. The owner was quite nice, and at least
he would not sell bad herbs as good quality ones.
“Ms. Craw, do you want to buy herbs?" Aunt Neile guessed that Luca was going to ask for her help to buy herbs.

“Yes, I want to buy a batch of good quality herbs, but I've been busy lately, so I don't have much time," said Luca. She knew how
to pick herbs, but she did not have the time.
Plus, when Luke said that he would go to Norman Residence this weekend, she did not know if he meant Saturday or Sunday.
"Just list down the name of the herbs and how much of them you want. I'll get them for you," said Aunt Neile. The store was just
near the market, so it was convenient for her to go there.
“Sorry for troubling you, Aunt Neile." Luca smiled.
“It's no trouble. It's just near the market, and I go there every day," said Aunt Neile hastily. Although only two adults lived in the
mansion, Aunt Neile was still busy cooking nutritious meals for them.
She would usually get all the ingredients from the market.
"After dinner, I'll make a list. Please get them for me tomorrow," said Luca. Once she had the herbs, she could go to Norman
Residence with Luke this weekend.
“No problem," replied Aunt Neile.
After dinner, Luca wrote all the herbs she needed on a piece of paper, with all the names and quantities so that Aunt Neile would
not make a mistake.
