The woman nodded when she heard Jason’s reply. She looked at Luca, who was next to her, and sighed. "Big bosses like Mr. Crawford are not on the same playing field as people like us."Luca knew that it was meant for her. She curled her lips indifferently. She took out her earphones and put them on so that she could not hear anything the woman said.Jason realized that the middle-aged woman was targeting Luca but Luca did not react to it. She was calm as if she did not hear the words.He did not feel like it was his place to say anything when he saw Luca sitting there blocking out the noise with her earphones.After all, it would be best for him not to get involved in matters between women. Even if Sue regarded Luca as a good friend, if he spoke up on her behalf, there would be some rumors.To give Sue a sense of security, he tried to stay away from these things as much as possible and kept a safe distance from his colleagues in the company.The bus drove for more than an hour bef
Luca guessed that it was because Luke thought that the coffee on the high-speed train was bad...He was such a picky man.After Jason put down the items that Luke requested, he walked to the seat behind and sat down. Luca thought about it for a while, then picked up her phone and sent Jason a text.[Mr. Doyle, can I switch places with you?]The signal on the high-speed train was slow, so it took a while for Luca’s text to get through.After a while, Jason replied: [Dr. Craw, your seat is great. It’s by the window and you get to see the nice view outside.]Luca glanced at the scenery outside and thought that it was nice, but she could not relax if the man beside her was Luke.He was not a cat, and she was not a mouse. However, whenever she was with Luke, she was like a mouse hiding from a cat. She wanted nothing more than to be hidden in front of him.He loved her so much but she was destined to hurt him in the future...Luca looked at the receding scenery outside the train win
The smell of the meatloaf filled up every corner of Luca’s mouth. Luca did not chew a lot. She forced herself to swallow it. Then, she took a few mouthfuls of white bread and blanched vegetables to counter the strong taste of the meatloaf.It was finally a little milder.She picked up the water she had brought along with her and took a sip. After flushing the taste away, she picked up the spoon and continued to eat. She did not force herself to have the meatloaf this time. After she finished eating the vegetables and the sides, she took another bite of the bread and closed the lunch box.Luke noticed that she did not have any of the meatloaf again after just taking a few bites.It seemed that she did not like it.These small actions of hers were the same as Bianca’s whenever she had meatloaf back then. Luke even felt that some of her habits were a lot like Bianca’s. It was just that her looks…Luca took the opportunity to hand the cleaner her lunch box when the garbage cart p
After Luca found her room, she pushed the door and walked in right away.When she was in A City, she would check carefully whenever she arrived at a new environment. She was afraid that she would fall into Abel’s trap.However, she was now in B City. She did not check anything because she had not told Abel about the trip in advance. Even if he knew, he could not have reached before her. After Luca closed the door, she opened her luggage and took her laptop out.She had come to travel this time, but her main motive was to search for Amur. Hence, she brought the laptop that was installed with special programs along with her. She turned it on, then connected it to the hotel’s public network. She detected the strongholds of the Island of Despair in B City.Soon, she found a corresponding stronghold. B City was located near the border of the country and was adjacent to a few poor neighboring countries. Hence, many engaged in the underworld.The underworld happened to strike Amur’
Tina furrowed her brows and refuted, "Yes, the grilled chicken is a little greasy. But it's not a big deal for us since we're still young. Our bodily functions and digestion are still working well. We won't put on weight if we exercise. We won’t dare to eat this when we get older, so we’ll maintain our body shape."Ms. Reid planned to mock them for not taking care of their diet. It suddenly got on her nerves when she was being insulted like this.She intended to insult Luca. After all, she had nothing to do with her, so Luca could not lay a hand on her. Hence, nothing would happen even if they insulted each other. However, she did not expect Tina to speak on behalf of Luca. Other than Mr. Doyle, Tina was another secretary of Mr. Crawford's whom he highly valued. Many years had passed and a few secretaries came and left but Tina never got fired. Even so, there was nothing going on between Tina and Mr. Crawford. Those people who loved to gossip could not get anything on her, and
After Luca returned to her room, she tossed and turned on the bed. She could not fall asleep.She planned to leave in the middle of the night. Hence, she decided to take a nap first. However, she did not expect herself to sleep for so long on the high-speed rail, so she could not fall asleep now.Luca sat up and touched her forehead. Then, she looked at the time. There were still two hours till midnight. It would be too early for her to leave now. However, she was afraid that she could not wake up later if she took some medicine to sleep. She had to look for Amur before it was too late.Luca could only spend time watching videos on her phone helplessly. Luke bringing all the employees for a trip to B City had become hot news in A City. Luca accidentally saw a news report about it when she was scrolling through some videos. She glanced at the comments below the video in passing.Some people left their comments under the video, expressing their thoughts about how rich he was.
There was no anesthetic left…Luca looked at the wound that was deep enough to see the bones. The wound needed multilayer mattress stitches, and the pain would be double of usual. Amur knew she was worried if he would be able to stand the pain. He pursed his lips and looked at her. “Don’t worry. I want you to close the wound.”Luca looked at him for a few seconds. The wound had to be closed, and they could not wait any longer.“Where are the supplies?” she asked after having decided to close the wound for Amur. “They’re in the drawer.” The man pointed at the cabinet beside and said.Luca opened the cabinet. The supplies were pretty complete except for the anesthetic.She poured some Povidone-iodine on some cotton and quickly cleaned his wound. Then, she began to close the wound. The needle poked into his flesh. Amur did not yell or scream. He lowered his head and stared at Luca, who was focused on stitching his wound. The wound on his arm was rather nasty, but she was not af
Luca clenched her teeth and glared at the man. He was here listening to her conversation with Amur, which was inconvenient for her. Amur knew she wanted to do what was best for him. She thought they could have each other’s back. However, he would be worried if she joined the mission. “It’s alright.” He could not say much about it. He could only comfort her with a simple few words.Luca stood up and looked at him seriously. "How is it alright? You're injured. Be careful next time, do you hear me?"“Yes. I’ll be careful.” Amur nodded. It was part of his plan to get injured this time. The mission given to him was to gain someone’s trust, so he deliberately took the stab for that person.However, he did not expect to be stabbed so badly."And don't ignore my messages. Haven’t you seen how many messages I've sent you? You didn't even reply. Even if you're busy with your mission, don’t you have the time to reply to my messages?" Luca pulled a long face as she continued lecturing him.
