I'm pregnant Sir Behave Yourself by Daphne

Chapter 1377 Cole’s Ploy

All the researchers were in their respective laboratories performing their research to secure the next stage of funding. That was why Rhett thought that Cole would be in his laboratory rather than in his office. Seeing that Luca was so insistent, he did not say anything.

Luca walked in front of the manager's office and knocked on the door. "Come in." A voice was heard from within, which made Rhett surprised.

Luca opened the door and went inside, and Rhett quickly followed behind.

Cole was sitting on his chair, dressed in his white lab coat. He smiled and greeted the woman in front of him, pretending that he was oblivious to what happened in Luca's laboratory. "It's you, Dr. Craw. How can I help you? Are you taking the day off again?"

Luca shook her head and told him about the situation in her laboratory.

Cole acted as though he was shocked after hearing what Luca had to say. "How is that possible? I hope that you're not joking, Dr. Craw. Your research is far ahead compared to anyone else in the department. I was planning to use your research as an example when I submit my monthly departmental progress report to Mr. Crawford."

Luca had an idea of what happened when she observed his expression. "I believe someone in our company must have done it. Moreover, that person has a managerial position."

All the doors in the company were equipped with the most advanced security system. One could not gain access to a room without the proper access card.

The list of people who had access to Luca's laboratory was very short.

"That might not be the case," Cole said when he heard that Luca was suspecting someone inside the company.

"Dr. Kidman, there aren't many people who can gain access to my laboratory. Usually, regular employees won't have the proper credentials to enter. Moreover, there were no signs of tampering on the magnetic lock," Luca said.

When Luke set up the company, he had taken many precautions to enhance the company's security.

Cole rubbed his chin as though he was thinking of what she said.

Luca could tell that he was only pretending. His gaze was unfocused, which would not happen if he were really thinking seriously.

A while later, Cole nodded and said, "If that's the case, we should get to the bottom of it. I'll have to report this incident to Mr. Crawford though. You should know that the company has placed a lot of hope on your research because it'll be the first product to go into the market. Now that this has happened, the later stages of your research and the clinical tests would definitely be delayed. I'd rather not be responsible for that, if you know what I mean."
