Bianca remained uneasy. She gently tugged Luke's shirt sleeve and said, "I know that I'm at fault, Luke. I can explain." Luke pulled his arm away and said, "I've already dealt with the aftermath. You'd better not contact that reporter again." "Yes." Bianca suddenly had the urge to grab onto something, but Luke had already left. He did not ask her why she had contacted the reporter or why someone was harboring the reporter. It was as though the incident was not related to her at all. Even so, Bianca could clearly feel that Luke's attitude toward her had become more distant. She knew that if she listened to what he said and did nothing, Luke would only grow more distant from her. She closed the door, took off her clothes, and looked at her back in the mirror. After one night, her wounds were already healing, even though it was still quite painful. Using a cotton swab, she slowly applied the medication to her wounds. After that, she changed into a fresh set of clothes and we
Luca smirked when Mo told her that someone was waiting for her in the guest lounge. Even if Mo did not tell her who it was, she could guess the identity of that person. She sauntered over to the guest lounge, opened the door, and saw Bianca sitting elegantly but slightly stiffly on the couch. Luca closed the door and sat down opposite her. "You're looking for me?" "You don't say?" Bianca rolled her eyes. She felt an instant disgust when she looked at Luca's facial features; no wonder Luke would fall for her bewitching charm. According to the report she was provided, Luke preferred pure-looking faces. She was doubting the accuracy of the report now. "I'm busy at work. If you have anything to say, make it short." Luca said brusquely and crossed her legs. Now that they knew each other's identities, there was no need for courtesy. After all, both of them were Abel's minions. "You already know who I am." Bianca glared at Luca as though she was in control of everything. She wan
"Yes, Mrs. Crawford." Mo was overjoyed as she held Bianca's name card. After escorting Bianca to the exit, she returned to the Technical Department to continue her work. Cole went into her office and asked her, "What were you busy with the entire morning? I asked you to compile the interviewees' resumes and put them on my table. Where is it?" Mo stood and explained, "I was busy taking care of Madam just now, so I didn't have the time to do it. Let me get it done for you now." "Madam?" Who's Madam?" Cole thought that Mo was trying to find excuses for herself. The Technical Department had two assistants, but Rhett had been recruited by Luca to be her personal assistant, so Mo was tasked to do everything else. Mo had been busy the past two days because she had to help the department manager hire another assistant. "She's Mrs. Crawford, Mr. Crawford's wife. She just left," Mo explained. If he did not believe her, he could go downstairs and check with the security department.
Jason had not gone too far when he heard the loud thump. He paused and turned around to see, wondering what was making his boss so unhappy. Was the lunch not to his taste? Jason shook his head. He remembered that he had something else to tell his boss, so he went back to the office. "Boss." He knocked on Luke's office door. Luke turned around and looked at him. "What is it?" Jason guessed that Luke had punched the window. He glanced at the window to make sure that there were no cracks on it and said, "You have a meeting at two-thirty this afternoon with the CEO of Belpharma." Luke did not remember the meeting. He frowned and asked, "When was this meeting scheduled?" Jason replied, "Two weeks ago. You agreed to the meeting." Luke thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Belpharma was a pharmaceutical company that received foreign investment. It invented many types of medicine after setting up its headquarters in A City, and its sales accounted for fifty
Jason had been working for Luke for a long time, and he knew what his boss wanted before he was told. "Mm." Luke nodded, leaned back on his chair, and put the invitation letter into his drawer. Jason continued, "Boss, should we invite Cole Kidman to join the party?" Abel's words earlier left a deep impression on him, as though Abel deliberately wanted Luke to bring certain people along with him to the party. "Inform Cole Kidman." Luke paused for a second and said, "And Luca too." Jason was quite surprised. Usually, people would only bring one extra guest to such parties, but Luke wanted to bring two. Even though the scandal had already concluded in their favor, it was good to behave tactfully to avoid any suspicion. Clearly, Luke was not bothered by that. "Alright, I'll inform them now." Jason nodded and left the CEO's office. The decision was not up for him to make. Jason informed Mo, who in turn informed Cole and Luca. Luca was surprised when Mo told her about the p
Cole dialed Dr. Muller's number with the internal phone and told him the good news. When that was done, it was time to go off work. Remembering his promise to Talia, he stood up, whistled, and went downstairs. While he was walking, he let Jason know that Luca had given her invitation to someone else. After Luca left Cole's office, she went back to her office and happened to meet Rhett coming out of the laboratory with the documents. "Are you done?" She took the stack of documents from his hands. "All the documents are here," Rhett smiled and said. He suddenly felt the load in his hands become lighter. "Let me do it, Dr. Craw." "It's fine. It's not heavy anyway." Luca continued walking toward her office with the thick stack of documents in her hands. "You should go home." "Alright." Seeing that his work was done for the day, he went to clock out and leave the office. After Luca returned to her office, she stashed an important document in her briefcase, then put the rest in
Talia felt unhappy when she remembered the scene where Luca stepped into the CEO's car. She thought that she was quite beautiful, and she was younger than Luca, so why did Luca manage to seduce Luke, while she had to settle for someone like Cole? Talia glanced at Cole, who was driving, and said emotionally, "I didn't expect that the rumors were true. I pity Mrs. Crawford now." Cole would hear a hint of pretentiousness in her words. "It'll serve you well to leave them alone." "Ah, I'm just saying." Talia could sense his unhappiness and realized that she had misspoken. She thought that she was the same as Luca. Both of them have sold their bodies in exchange for their jobs. Luke was married, and so was Cole. When Talia approached Cole, she promised him that she would not interfere with his family life. That was why Cole was willing to give Talia a chance. Talia's words earlier reminded Cole that he was having an affair too. She smiled apologetically and hoped that he wo
"Not bad," Luca said after being stunned for a few seconds. She was not planning to be romantically involved with anyone in the office anyway. The new rule would not affect her. When Luke heard her nonchalant response, he stepped on the gas pedal harder. Luca could feel the car travel faster, but she did not gasp or exclaim in surprise. She sat there calmly, as though she was used to traveling at this speed. The car was traveling on the open road, and traffic was very light. Luca was not worried that Luke might rear-end another car, so she managed to keep calm. She knew that Luke was a skilled driver. Luke stopped his car outside Luca's neighborhood. After the car came to a complete stop, Luca unfastened her seatbelt and said to him, "You're a skilled driver, Mr. Crawford." She opened the door and stepped out of the car. Luke raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you inviting me to go upstairs?" Luca was taken aback, not expecting Luke to say that. When she came to h
