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."

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