Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 2953

Johann looked at the medical records for a while. Then, he replied to her: [Alright. She's my patient too. Don't worry, I'll pay extra attention.]

[Thank you.] Luca was still worried even after she read Johann’s message.

Luca held her phone tightly in her hand and looked out of the car window. She was too preoccupied to appreciate the scenery. All she could think about was whether Luke could persuade Wanda.

After she arrived at the company, she quickly headed to her office.

She waited for a while but did not receive any message from Johann. She had no choice but to put her phone in her pocket and walk to the laboratory to start her day's work.

While everyone was all busy in the laboratory, someone knocked on the glass door.

All of them looked up.

Mo Stone stood at the door. She turned to look at Luca and said, “Dr. Craw, I have something to tell you.”

Luca heard her, put down her equipment, and left the laboratory. “Ms. Stone, what’s the matter?”

“The general manager wants you to go upstairs. He says it's about teaching at the university the company’s partnering with.” Mo Stone relayed the manager’s message.

“Teaching at the university? Didn't I already decline that?” Luca frowned, thinking that declining it should have put an end to the matter. She could not understand why it was being brought up again.

“I heard that there's a sudden situation at the university. One of the old professors fell ill and had to retire. There are no other lecturers available to cover his courses at the moment. So, the university is hoping our company can send them a professor for the job.

"I'm not sure about the details, but Dr. Craw, would you consider talking to the manager about it?” Mo Stone, as the department assistant, had some knowledge of various matters.

However, she did not know all the details.

“I'll head there now,” replied Luca. She turned to Rhett and instructed him, “Mr. Link, please make sure the cell culture samples are properly stored.”

“Okay, Dr. Craw,” replied Rhett, setting aside his current task to follow her orders.

Mo Stone watched the scene in the laboratory with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Despite being rejected by Luca, she still wished to work in the laboratory rather than sit in the assistant's office doing nothing.

Luca did not notice the expression on Mo Stone’s face. After she took off her laboratory coat, she returned to her office, then rode the elevator to the upper floor.

While she was in the elevator, she made up her mind to decline this task no matter what.

Her work was usually demanding with a multitude of tasks. There was also the uncertainty of when Abel might assign her an unconventional task.

If she took on teaching at the university as well, she would be overwhelmed.

Luca arrived at the manager’s office. The door was left ajar. She knocked gently on the door.

“Oh, it’s you, Dr. Craw. Come in.” A man in his 30s greeted her with a friendly smile when he saw her.

Luca entered the office and studied the man's face. She felt a strange sense of familiarity, like she had seen him somewhere before.

However, she could not recall ever having met him before…

“Please, have a seat.” Evan Turner gestured to the chair opposite him. He spoke politely.

Luca nodded. After she sat down, she observed the man sitting across from her again. He carried an air of haunting familiarity. She glanced at the nameplate on the desk.

[General Manager of Watsons Biopharmaceuticals: Evan Turner.]

Evan could have given Luca a direct order.

However, he refrained from doing so for two reasons. Firstly, he knew about the relationship between Luke and Luca.

Secondly, he believed that there was no need for compulsion as persuasion would suffice.

Luca's brows furrowed even deeper. She wondered why the manager was acting as though he could not understand her…

"Mr. Turner, I'm not suited for lecturing students. I don't have any experience in this area, and I'm afraid I might misguide the students."

"There's always a first time for everything. How about this, Dr. Craw? You can decide when it's most convenient for you, and I'll coordinate with the university to schedule the class accordingly,” Evan brought it up with her once more.

At the same time, he added another condition, “And if you agree to this arrangement, I can allocate additional research funds for your work."

Luca suddenly felt that even though the manager looked like he was pleasant to deal with, speaking without a commanding tone and making the conversation comfortable, he was a tough negotiator.

If she declined, he would persistently press on.

Luca did not have many options when she was facing someone like him. She could not just turn him down and leave with a dismissive attitude.

He was not an arrogant person. There was no way she could treat him with arrogance or deal with him like how she dealt with the previous manager by walking away abruptly.

The other party was not arrogant, and she could not bring herself to respond with arrogance or leave abruptly as she had with the previous manager.

Luca took a deep breath and smiled at Evan Turner. "Mr. Turner, can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Of course, take your time. It’s just that things are kind of urgent at the university. They’re hoping that you can agree to it as soon as possible." Evan kept his smile on his face.
