When the elevator reached the floor of her office, Luca walked out and noticed that the assistant's office was empty.

She clocked in before entering her office and putting on her lab coat. Then, she entered the laboratory.

The researchers all looked up when they heard the door open.

When they saw Luca, they were reminded of the news. However, because Luca was their immediate superior, they dared not bring up the topic.

They were pretty much the only department in the entire company to talk about Luca's news the least.

Plus, on the way to work today, many of them were accosted by people from other departments or research teams. They were trying to get more information on Luca.

However, they had professional ethics. No matter what other people asked, they told them nothing.

“Good morning, Dr. Craw," several researchers greeted her.

“Good morning." Luca acted as if everything were normal. Then, she returned to her seat and began to work on her part of the experiment.

Rhett sat opposite her before saying, "Dr. Craw, have you canceled your leave?"

"Not yet. I didn't see Ms. Stone on the way here," said Luca. The company had its own management system. If she asked for a leave, she would be granted one. However, if she returned before her leave ended, she would have to cancel the leave.

The assistants were in charge of this system. Even if she clocked into work, her leave was not automatically canceled.

When Rhett heard that, he said, "I'll help you cancel it."

After a few clicks on the laptop next to him, he was done.

Then, he went straight back to work.

In the laboratory, other than some small talk about work, no one said anything else.

Luca was able to concentrate on her research better without being disturbed by hearing talk about the news reports.
