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
"Yeah." Luke looked at Bianca. The light from the dressing table illuminated her side profile. She looked delicate and flawless.However, no matter how he looked at her, he was not spellbound by her as he used to be. He did not believe that time could change his love for Bianca, but it was true that he was no longer infatuated with her."What's the matter with you? Why do you look so serious?" Bianca narrowed her eyebrows and observed his expression.Luke's expressionless face did not carry a tinge of warmth, and it made her feel uneasy."It’s nothing to worry about." His expression was still cold and indifferent.Bianca stood up and tried to approach him when she suddenly heard him ask, "Why did you go to Watson Biopharmaceuticals today?""You found out..." Bianca lowered her eyes slightly to show an aggrieved expression. She knew Luke would find out since she had paid off Mo.Her goal was achieved. Luke was aware that she went to Watson Biopharmaceuticals to look for Luca.
"Norman Residence?" Bianca felt bitter when she thought of Jack's face.Jack always had a stern face that was a little too serious whenever they were in the same room. His majestic gaze seems to be able to see through everything.There was also Queenie, who was so fragile. Every time Bianca went to the Norman Residence, she had to do all kinds of housework for Queenie to maintain the image of a good daughter.Bianca hated all of this."Mm." Luke noticed her resistance and did not choose to accommodate her this time.Bianca looked at the calmness on his face and felt slightly disappointed that he did not show any empathy toward her.Luke was not saying anything to help her out of this, which meant that she had to go.Bianca was not happy about it but dared not express it. Too many things had happened recently. If it were in the past, she could turn him down, but in the situation that she was in now, she could no longer take any risks that would cause Luke to dislike her even more
