Luca’s guess was correct. The rumors were already spreading by the time she reached the laboratory.

While working on their research, the researchers in the laboratory were talking about how she had left the building and returned with Luke.

They were still talking when Luca entered, and they were embarrassed because they did not manage to stop themselves.

She heard the last part of their conversation, though she walked back to her position without showing any expression on her face. All the researchers in her team were male; several female researchers had applied for an interview, but Luca rejected them all.

She thought that men were less prone to gossip, but it seemed that her preconception was wrong.

Most men were not like Luke, who showed no interest in gossip.

“You can continue talking,” Luca sat in her seat and put on goggles.

The researchers looked at each other. None of them dared to say anything.

Rhett came out of the cultivation room and saw that Luca was already back. He said, “You’re back, Dr. Craw. Why don’t you rest for a little longer?”

“I’m fine. Mr. Crawford brought me to the hospital, and they gave me some medication. I feel a lot better now,” Luca said.

The researchers knew that Luca was directing those words at them. They lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Rhett saw that she did not look unwell, so he did not ask any more questions.

She focused on her work until it was lunchtime.

Luca knew that she would be at the center of attention if she went to the cafeteria. To avoid trouble, she asked Rhett to take away some food for her.

Rhett agreed to it immediately.

Luca returned to her office and studied the data collected over the past few days. She did not care that the surveillance camera was capturing her every movement.
