There were two children at the kindergarten who had not left. One of them was Tommy.Luca walked toward him.The kindergarten teacher looked at Luca and asked, “Are you Tommy’s guardian?”The teacher hesitated for a moment. She wondered if she was his nanny. However, Luca’s temperament and how she was dressed were nothing like a nanny.“Hello, I’m Mr. Crawford’s subordinate. He’s busy today, so he asked me to pick up the child,” Luca explained and reached her hand out to the child.Tommy held her hand right away.“Is that so?” the teacher asked the child.“Yes, Teacher. I’m close with Ms. Luca. You can call Daddy to confirm that.” Tommy knew the kindergarten would not allow strangers to pick up the children.The teacher called Luke to confirm with him for the sake of the child’s safety. Then, she allowed Luca to bring the child back.Tommy lifted his head and looked at Luca with a smile on his face. "Ms. Luca, why are you the one who came to pick me up today?”"Mr. Crawford s
If he was attending to those Russians, then would Tia be there too?Even though Luca noticed that what had happened between them was a thing of the past, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of another woman entering his life.It felt like the man that she loved had been stolen by someone else.Luke was not a toy. He was a man. However, it felt terrible knowing that someone could steal him from her.Luca let out a sigh. She took Tommy’s uniform out of the washing machine and hung them on the balcony.She walked into the bathroom and took a shower. She felt her heart warm up when she looked at Tommy who was sleeping soundly on the bed. She reckoned Luke would not be picking up the child tonight. She hugged the child and slept with him.The apartment’s doorbell rang when it was in the middle of the night. Luca did not take sleeping pills. Hence, she did not fall into a deep sleep. She opened her eyes once she heard the bell.Luca trotted out of the bedroom when the doorbell w
Luca was still holding Tommy's school uniform, which she had just retrieved from the balcony, when she saw Tommy running over with Luke standing behind him.She wanted to squat down and hug Tommy but it did not feel right.It did not seem appropriate for her to hold Tommy in front of Luke.Tommy ran to her side, and Luca handed him the school uniform in her hand. "Your school uniform is dry. Take it and go change into it. After that, wash up so we can have breakfast together."Tommy took the school uniform, which was completely dry after it was left to dry all night. It had a faint lemon scent on it.He took a deep whiff and said with a smile, "Ms. Luca, the clothes that you washed smell so good."Luca touched his head and noticed that Luke's shirt had gotten all wrinkled in his sleep. She hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "Mr. Crawford, your shirt is wrinkled. Do you want a change of clothes?""Mm." Luke paid great attention to his appearance and cleanliness. She knew
‘Go to the office together?’Luca thought of the gossip that she caused when she first joined the company and immediately shook her head to turn him down. "Mr. Crawford, I'll go to work by myself."Luke did not say anything and left with Tommy when he saw that she insisted on going to work by herself.Luca breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she had the illusion that Luke's gaze when he looked at her had become warm.She thought of how he had always been stern and domineering but he did not insist that she tag along this time. She was a little unaccustomed to it.Luca looked at the time and slowly walked out the door after she thought that Luke had already left. She woke up early and had breakfast earlier than she usually would, so she was not worried about being late. She took her time and walked slowly. Luca walked out of the front gate and saw a Hummer parked on the side of the road. It was very ostentatious.There were many rich and famous people in A City, so it di
"Got it," the person on the other end of the phone replied. He noticed that Nina was making a turn at the next exit and quickly changed lanes to keep up.Nina noticed that the car behind her had been following her. When she turned the corner, he followed her and changed lanes.There was no doubt that the car was following her.Nina panicked when she thought that it might be people sent by Pierre or the Johnston family. Either party did not have good intentions.She had no choice but to call Luca to ask her for help."Nina, what's the matter?" At this moment, Luca was in a taxi on the way to the office."Luca, I'm being followed. I don't know who it is. What should I do?" Nina felt that Luca had experience in dealing with this situation, so she subconsciously asked her for advice."You’re being followed?" Luca frowned when she heard Nina’s anxious tone. In her heart, she thought that the people following Nina were probably people hired by Percy. They would not put her in harm’s w
Nina knew that this was normal after an operation, but when she saw that Anna did not even have the strength to speak, she still felt uncomfortable as if the scalpel had cut her body."The patient can eat normally now but we still need to pay more attention to her diet in the early stage. She can consume mainly liquid food. Are you planning to cook meals for her or order meals from the hospital?" the nurse on the side asked. She had seen many such scenes, so her voice was calm and emotionless."We’ll get meals from the hospital." Nina controlled her emotions. Her work at Brilliant Architectural Design LLC was overwhelming. She had no time to prepare Anna's meals.Although the food in the hospital was unpalatable, it was nutritionally balanced and beneficial to Anna.Nina remembered that when Anna had her first surgery, she did not need to worry so much because back then, there was a man who took care of all these things for her.All she needed to do at that time was occasionally v
"What?" Luca was thinking about Luke. She did not react immediately to what Jason had blurted out."I said that your habits when it comes to translation work are very good. When translating, you will inevitably have to scribble and draw on the document. It’s good that you’ve made a copy so that you won't ruin the original document," Jason said. Luca’s way of working aligned well with Luke's habits.He thought of the translator who was fired from T Corporation because she was lazy. The translator did not make a copy of the document but instead directly made notes on the original document. When Luke saw it, he immediately fired her.Luca’s actions would ensure that she would not step on Luke’s tail.Luca understood what he meant, nodded, and stapled the copied documents together. She sat down in a chair and got to work.She read through the document, which was about the project that T Corporation would bid for.Luca sighed. She was not sure if it was a coincidence. After she receiv
Luca felt helpless while she was translating the documents. Her back was aching after she worked on the sofa for a while.She could not work in peace being stared at by Luke like this...Her efficiency was even worse than when she was in Jason’s office...Luca did not dare to say anything. She resisted the urge to look his way even though she knew that Luke occasionally gazed at her.After half an hour, her efficiency was greatly reduced.There was a knock on the door and Luke said, "Come in."Jason opened the door and walked in with two takeaway boxes in his hand. He did not see Luca when he returned to the office and noticed that the laptop and document were missing, so he guessed that Luca must have gone to Luke’s office.That was why he walked in with the takeaway boxes.Sure enough, she was there."Boss, Dr. Craw, your meals are here." Jason had bought them the same set meal. He handed one of them to Luke and left the other on the coffee table.He did not say anything an
