Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 1192

Jason had been working for Luke for a long time, and he knew what his boss wanted before he was told.

"Mm." Luke nodded, leaned back on his chair, and put the invitation letter into his drawer.

Jason continued, "Boss, should we invite Cole Kidman to join the party?"

Abel's words earlier left a deep impression on him, as though Abel deliberately wanted Luke to bring certain people along with him to the party.

"Inform Cole Kidman." Luke paused for a second and said, "And Luca too."

Jason was quite surprised. Usually, people would only bring one extra guest to such parties, but Luke wanted to bring two.

Even though the scandal had already concluded in their favor, it was good to behave tactfully to avoid any suspicion. Clearly, Luke was not bothered by that.

"Alright, I'll inform them now." Jason nodded and left the CEO's office.

The decision was not up for him to make. Jason informed Mo, who in turn informed Cole and Luca.

Luca was surprised when Mo told her about the party.

'The Pharmaceutical Association? What organization is that? I don't think it existed three years ago!'

"Have you heard of the Pharmaceutical Association before?" Luca asked Rhett.

Rhett stopped working on his experiment and answered, "The Pharmaceutical Association was founded two years ago, and it’s comprised of the pharmaceutical companies in A City as well as certain renowned doctors. The president of the association is the CEO of Belpharma. He's also the one who founded the association."

When Luca heard the name "Belpharma," she realized what was going on.

No wonder Abel left the Island. He was coming for Luke, and dealing with Bianca was a mere convenience.

She need not think too hard to realize that Abel had an ulterior motive when he invited Luke to join the association.

Luca shook the test tube in her hand. Thinking that she would have to face both Luke and Abel at the party, she was not very keen on going.

According to Mo, Jason had only informed Cole and Luca. Luca wondered if she could give the invite to someone else.

Rhett said, "Events like these are a good opportunity to meet other people in the industry, Dr. Craw. They don't come by that often."

Luca raised her eyebrows. "How about you go?"

Rhett smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. "I'd love to go, but I'm not qualified," he said frankly.

"I don't want to go," Luca said and returned to her research.

Rhett looked at her, confused. Every other researcher would appreciate the opportunity to join such an event, but why did Luca not appreciate it?

Rhett thought that Luca was only interested in doing research and was not fond of socializing. He could understand why she did not want to go.

"Right. Is Dr. Kidman interviewing the new applicants now?" Luca asked.

"Yes." Rhett nodded.

The interviews were supposed to be conducted by the HR department and not the Technical Department, but Cole had insisted on being the main interviewer.

"When will he be done?" Luca asked.

"There are about twenty interviewees today, so it should be about another hour," Rhett said.

"Mm." Luca looked away and went inside.

Talia left the scene hastily, as though her motives would be exposed if she lingered for another second.

"Please have a seat." Compared to Talia, Cole was a lot more composed. He pointed at the chair opposite him.

Luca sat down on the chair. She understood why Cole had sounded so gruff earlier, but she was not going to call him out on that. She noticed a stack of resumes on his desk, and the topmost one was from Talia. "Dr. Kidman, do you think you can ask someone else to replace me for the party this weekend?"

Mo had informed the two of them about the party through a text message.

Cole felt honored that his boss had invited him to the party. At the same time, he could not understand why Luca was invited.

No matter how talented Luca might be, she was still considered a rookie in this field.

Luke had given her too much attention.

"Why don't you want to go?" Cole asked. Other researchers could not go even if they wanted to.

"I'm not too fond of socializing. At this point, I'm not interested in anything other than working on my research. I think that I should give this chance to one of my seniors in the field and not a new employee like me," Luca said, trying to keep a low profile.

"Mm." Cole did not insist. After all, many other researchers were willing to take her place. "Alright, I'll ask Dr. Muller if he wants to go then."

"Alright." Luca smiled and shook her head. She had no other reason to be there, so she stood up and left the office, closing the door behind her.

After seeing Luca leave, Cole muttered under his breath, "How stupid."

What use was her research if she did not treasure the opportunity to flaunt her talent? She would not be able to thrive in the industry no matter how good her research might be!
