"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
Meanwhile, as Luke drove away, he could not help but feel unhappy when he remembered Amur's face. He took out his phone and gave Jason a call. "Send me Luca's dossier," he said. Jason was taken aback. "Haven't you already seen it before?" "I want to look at it again," Luke said. "Yes." Jason did not know why his boss would suddenly want to do that. However, he was in no position to question his boss's decisions. After the call ended, he immediately turned on his laptop to find Luca's dossier. It took him some time to find Luca's folder from the numerous employee folders and send it to Luke's mailbox. Kari was sitting next to him, watching him work. She ran into the kitchen and said, "Mommy, Daddy isn't helping us turn on the TV." "Isn't he sitting on the couch? Why isn't he helping you?" Sue was busy in the kitchen cooking dinner. She turned around to glance at her daughter before resuming slicing vegetables. "Daddy is very busy." Kari pouted. When Sue heard that, she
After Luke parked his car in the Crawford Manor, he did not get out of his car. Instead, he opened his mailbox and read through Luca's dossier several times. There was not a lot of useful information on Luca, perhaps because she was from Russia. Luke sank into deep thought. He heard a knock on the car window. He came to his senses and saw the butler standing next to the car with a gentle smile on his face. Luke rolled down the car window. "Sir, Old Master Crawford wants to know why you're not going into the house," the butler said. Old Master Crawford was deliberately waiting for him in the living room, but Luke did not go into the house. "I'm still doing a bit of work. I'll go in soon," Luke said. "Yes, Sir." The butler nodded and went away. Luke took out his phone and gave Gale a call. "Any orders, Boss?" Gale answered the call very quickly. He sounded quite carefree. "Go to Russia, and bring Rain with you. I want to investigate on someone," Luke said. Rain and Ga
