"Miss!" Amur was standing near the balcony. The moment he heard something, he turned around and saw the familiar face that made him pleasantly surprised.Luca was relieved to see that it was Amur. She kept the knife in her hand in her pocket and said, "Amur, it's you! Why did you get off the island?""I left the island because the boss sent me on a mission that happened to be near here, so I wanted to visit you. Miss, how are you doing?" Amur grinned when he saw her, his gaze softening."I'm doing great. You’re getting buff! It seems that your training has improved." Luca approached him and did not ask how he came in. They were all trained on the Island of Despair. Gates as such did not pose any difficulty.Even the security measures of Crawford Manor could not hinder them.Amur had grown a lot stronger during the time she was away. That was why she did not recognize his figure just now.Amur blushed when he heard her praise. He touched his hair and approached her. "Miss, I’ve be
Luca chuckled softly when she noticed how uncomfortable he was. He had referred to her as ‘Miss’ for three years and was not used to calling her by her name. She served him two pieces of beef and said, "Okay, let’s eat.""Thank you..." Amur smiled shyly. "Thank you."After the meal, Amur took the initiative to wash the dishes while Luca helped him clean up the room where he would sleep in. She put all the books back in the bookcase and took out a new bed sheet from the closet. She wanted to make sure that he felt at home."Thank you, Miss." Amur finished washing the dishes and saw her running around to prepare the room for him. He stepped forward to thank her."Stop calling me ‘Miss’." Luca shook her head helplessly, pointed to the trash bag on the floor, and said, "You can take this out for me. I haven’t had the chance to clean it up after I experimented two days ago.""Okay." Amur took the garbage bag and walked out.After Luca made the bed, she took the initiative to wipe all
The thin man took a sip of beer and looked at him. "What do you have in mind?"The fat man got close to his ears and shared his evil plans.After he heard the fat man’s plans, the thin man smiled grimly, picked up his fork, and got himself a piece of popcorn chicken. "That’s a good plan. We’ll make this woman kneel in front of our brothers and beg for mercy!""That's right, Brother. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. It’s just a matter of time before this woman begs for your mercy." The fat man smiled wryly. The layers of fat on his face were squished together. As his smile was too big, his fat face was jiggling.Luca did not notice them and continued to walk forward.When she was tired, she sat at a food stall where she ordered two dishes and a bottle of beer.On the other hand in Crawford Manor.Bianca sat on the sofa in the bedroom. She looked at the photo on the phone and tightened the grip on her phone. Her veins were nearly bursting.She received an
"Even if I already have a godmother, I can still have a few more." Tommy was puzzled."Don’t you think that you’re being too reckless about this? She’s your father's employee. If she becomes your godmother, the hierarchy will be messed up." Bianca resolutely refused, the hostility in her heart growing more intense.Ivana was picking a fight with her. It seemed that she was going to take away not only Luke but also the children.She would never let this happen. If she failed the mission, she would be dead within minutes upon returning to the Island of Despair!Tommy pouted and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Why does it matter? Aunt Nina is my godmother and she’s also Dad’s employee."Luke noticed Bianca's resistance and said, "She has to agree to be your godmother before we can do that. We’ll talk about it later."Tommy pouted and glanced at the photo. He then sat back and replied, "Okay, I’ll ask Aunt Luca when the time comes. I'm sure she’ll agree."Bianca was furious when she h
"It's so late. Why haven't you slept?" Luke crossed his arms and sat in the chair. His expression was calm."I can't sleep." Bianca played with her fingers anxiously. Before he could say anything, she said, "Luke, I overreacted today. I didn’t mean anything else. But if you’re interested in her, I’ll leave. Since Tommy likes her too, you can be one happy family."As Luke listened to her sorrowful words, his expression was flat. Bianca could not see any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.Bianca waited for his answer by the door. Seeing how calm he was, she turned from confident to anxious."Don't think too much of it. Go to sleep," Luke said after he did not move for some time.He did not comfort her nor comment further...Bianca was dissatisfied but calmed down a little. At the very least, he was not going to divorce her for Ivana.She nodded. When she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Luke say, "Don’t worry about the reporter.""Aren’t you going to pay him off?" Bia
"Dr. Craw?" Talia was surprised. She could not help herself from talking to Luca again as she walked over. "You’re not an assistant? You’re a professor?""Yeah." Luca did not hide anything from her. Her expression remained neutral as she walked to the elevator with her ID in her hand."You look so young..." Talia could not help but utter what was in her heart. Realizing that she had said something wrong, she immediately covered her mouth and explained, "I’m not questioning your ability, it’s just...""It's okay." Luca did not take her words to heart.It was normal for a young person like her who had just entered the corporate world to be straightforward. It was a great thing that she had yet to be tainted by office politics. Luca thought of the days when she had just returned to the country. Suddenly, she felt a little sad because she realized that it was all in the past. It was difficult for her to live a normal life now.Seeing that Luca did not seem to mind her words, Talia b
Luca noticed that her heartbeat was accelerating. Luke, who used to be aloft, rarely looked at others like this.He did not care about others. Engaging in simple conversations would already be a test of his patience.He had always been someone others looked up to. He never lowered his gaze for anyone.Luke frowned. ‘She thinks she would be disturbed by sending Tommy back?’Luca knew him well.In the past, he would launch a thorough investigation into her life, but now, he had no such intentions."What are you hiding?" Luke put his hands in his pockets, his deep-set eyes staring straight at her."I’m sure Mr. Crawford has had me investigated." Luca's expression was calm. Luke did not suspect a thing."I didn't ask anyone to investigate you," Luke said.Luca was a little surprised, but it was not because she was afraid that he would find out anything about her. After all, Abel got a group of people to work meticulously to make sure that there was nothing about her that would rai
Rhett blushed and retorted, "Stop it with your nonsense. If Dr. Craw hears it, she might misunderstand.""Look at you blushing! Sigh, Rhett, I'm so disappointed in you. However, our company looks at capabilities, not appearance," Mo said. From the moment Luca stepped into the conference room, she noticed that Luke paid more attention to Luca than others.The private conversation they had made her think more of the situation as well.Rhett was reluctant to continue discussing this topic with her. "Let’s stop talking about it. It won't be good if others hear it. I’ve already asked for someone to come to clean up the room. I'll head off now."After he said that, he turned around and left.Mo crossed her hands in front of her chest and watched as he left. She muttered in her heart that all men were the same. When they saw beautiful women, they instinctively wanted to side with them.After Luca dismissed Mo, she closed the door and sat on the sofa again.She held her forehead, sighed
