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

Chapter 3154 The Fifth Herb "I get it, Dr. Craw." Rhett nodded. He held the textbooks and the files given by Luca as he stood up. "Dr. Craw, if there's nothing else, I'll head out to work." "Wait, there's one more thing," replied Luca. She picked up her phone and transferred smoney to Rhett. "Today's Friday, and everyone's been working hard lately. Can you go ahead and book a restaurant and a karaoke room? After work, gather everyone to grab a bite and sing ssongs." "Alright, Dr. Craw. Will you be joining US?" asked Rhett. Luca was a considerate boss to her subordinates, so it was not surprising for her to fund such activities.

If they had tto relax, they would be able to work better the following week.

"I won't be going. I want you all to have fun. I'll cover the expenses," replied Luca. She knew that if she participated, they would not be able to fully enjoy themselves.

Besides, she would rather spend tat hwith Luke and the kids.

Therefore, she took care of the finances and let them enjoy themselves.

Rhett opened his phone and saw the considerable amount Luca had transferred. It was enough for them to have a good meal and enjoy a luxurious karaoke session.

With a plan in mind after seeing the transferred amount, Rhett said," Alright, Dr. Craw. I'll arrange everything to make sure all the researchers in the group have a great time." "Great. Do invite Ms. stone too. She has helped a lot with paperwork for our group," added Luca. There had been a lot going on recently, and without their help, she would not have handled those matters so smoothly.

Hence, chipping in smoney as a token of appreciation was the least she could do.

"Okay, Dr. Craw." Rhett took the money, grabbed the textbooks and files, and left Luca's office.

Once the office door closed, Luca picked up her phone again and sent a message to Nina: [Do you and Mr. Mallory have any plans tomorrow night? We're having a barbecue at home, and I'd love to invite you both over to join us for dinner.] Nina immediately replied with a playful tone: [Is it a real barbecue this time? ] [Yes, it's a real barbecue.] Luca smiled helplessly. The lie she spun last tto get her to cover had now becNina's teasing fodder for her.

Nina replied: [Alright, Percy and I will trust you this time. Tomorrow night it is. I'll cearly to help you out.] [It's alright. Just make sure you and Mr. Mallory show up on tto show your support.] After that, Luca put her phone aside.

She did not have Jim's and Scarlett's contact numbers, so Luke would contact them personally.

After inviting Nina, Luca returned to the laboratory to work.

Rhett had already informed the researchers in the group about tonight's plans. When they saw Luca enter, one of the researchers cheerfully said," Dr. Craw, will you be joining US tonight?" "I won't be going. Enjoy yourselves tonight. If there's any money left, consider it a small token of appreciation fromfor your hard work during this time," replied Luca.

She had not been conducting many experiments lately. They were the ones doing the bulk of the work. Even though she was overseeing it, without them, the project would not have progressed. Thus, she was very grateful to everyone present.

"Dr. Craw, please come. It won't be the swithout you," added another researcher.

"No, no, I have other things to attend to tonight. You guys carry on." Luca smiled and sat at her desk.

The crowd burst into laughter. One of them, who felt particularly daring, spoke up, "I see, Dr. Craw has a date. We definitely can't disturb her." "Exactly," another researcher chimed in.

Luca smiled without offering an explanation.

When she woke up this morning, Luke mentioned to her that Gale had already wrapped up things in X City, and Stan had yet to regain his memory. He realized this incident was related to him, so he firmly told the doctor that he wanted surgery to remove the brain tumor.

He intended to use the surgery as an excuse to delay being detained and questioned by the police.

Additionally, the herbs they purchased at the event would be delivered by Gale today, along with the herbs in the afternoon.

Luke also mentioned that Gale seemed to have found the fifth herb but was not entirely certain, so he bought sfrom the herbalist to check.

If Gale's herbs were correct, it meant they had all five, and she could start researching at home.

Luca was determined to return hpromptly after work today to verify the authenticity of the herbs.

Luke had said that if the fifth herb was not the one they were looking for, then Gale's subordinates would continue to inquire and gather information from the herbalists.

With this in mind, Luca ignored the teasing from others and continued her work.

She was very focused when conducting research, and nothing could distract her.

The researchers in the lab saw that Luca was already engrossed in her work. They ceased their banter and continued with their tasks.

After work, Luca left almost immediately.

Mo Stone was sitting in her office. Watching Luca leave in a hurry, she rubbed her chin and asked, "Does Dr. Craw have something urgent going on? It's been a while since I've seen her leave on time." Previously, Luca not only left early every day but also frequently took leave.

However, her role was different in Watson. With a successful project in the bag, the HR department and CEO would not question her.

Also, it seemed like Luca had resolved all her previous problems one day and returned to leaving on time.

Rhett, who was organizing files, heard Mo Stone's words and did not say anything.

Mo Stone looked at him and asked, "Mr. Link, do you know what Dr. Craw is busy with?" "How would I know? Are you sure you're not coming tonight?" asked Rhett. After he left Luca's office, he informed Mo about the dinner plans for tonight.

Mo frowned, expressing that she wanted to do something of her own and did not want to go out on a Friday night.

Rhett did not insist. With one person less, they could allocate more money to everyone else.

Mo's tasks were not solely for the sake of their research group, but the Ο Π researchers within the team were N different. Their performance and efficiency directly impacted the progress of the project.

"I'm not going. Have fun, everyone," Mo shook her head, indicating she would not be going. She secretly wondered how much money Luca would give them for dinner and karaoke. She figured they would not be going to any fancy place, so what was the point of her joining in? Rhett nodded without saying anything.

One of the researchers approached and asked, "Mr. Link, can we go now? Are we heading to Blue Coast Restaurant?" "Let's go. I've already booked a private room. We can head over now." Rhett locked away all the files on the table into the drawer and stuffed the textbooks into his bag. Then, he rose to his feet and got ready to leave with the researcher.
