"Okay, I understand." The front desk receptionist nodded, picked up an elevator pass, and waved it on the sensor.With this restricted card, Tia could use the elevator to get to the third floor only.The front desk receptionist respectfully handed the card as she said, "Ms. Tia, please go to the reception room on the third floor and wait there. We’ll keep you informed if the boss has the time to meet you after he’s done with his meeting.""The third floor?" Tia's eyes grew wide at the news that they were only allowing her into the reception room on the third floor.Previously when she went to the reception rooms, she always went to the ones on the tenth floor or above. Never once had she gone to a reception room on a floor lower than the tenth floor. "Yes, this is what Mr. Doyle said. The reception room on the CEO's floor needs to be disinfected. Oh no, what I mean is that except for the reception room on the third floor, which was disinfected yesterday, all other reception rooms
Luca knew why she was in such a foul mood. Tia waited the entire afternoon to see Luke only to be informed that he had left the company.Of course, she was angry.When she saw Tia lose her temper at the front desk receptionist, Luca did not want to provoke her and left directly.Tia saw Luca leave casually and threw the card back to the front desk receptionist. She quickly walked to Luca and said, "Dr. Craw, are you off work?"Luca looked at her provocative appearance and stopped walking. "Yes, it's time to get off work."When that was mentioned, Tia was massively annoyed as she thought that Luca mentioned it on purpose.She waited in the reception room for the whole afternoon but was not able to see Luke. At that moment, she could not help but throw her temper at Luca. "I didn't expect you to be so free that you can get off work on time.""I completed what I needed to do for the day. It shouldn't be a problem for me to get off work on time. Ms. Tia, are you here because you hav
Luca breathed a sigh of relief. Although she craved Luke's tenderness, she was also afraid of it.She was worried that she would be sucked into it and could not help but throw all caution to the wind.After Luke heard her reply, he hung up the call. When she heard the busy tone, Luca came back to her senses, went into the bedroom to pick up her laptop, and then went to the living room to connect it to the internet.Sure enough, she had received a document from Luke in her mailbox. She opened it and found that the document was all in Russian. After a brief readthrough, it seemed to be related to the architectural design project.Luca frowned. It was not that the last-minute task made her a little annoyed and unhappy. She was just a little perplexed as to why Luke sent her another document relating to the project considering that it was a secret to the entire T Corporation. Even the previously translated document was completed under his supervision. After she looked through it, the
“I’ll let you draw the lots to decide which hotel we’ll be going to,” said Luke as he took a piece of paper out of his briefcase and tore it into four equal squares. He had specifically picked the hotels and planned to let the old master decide which one he would prefer to celebrate his birthday party at. Hence, he knew all the hotel names. He folded the papers after writing down the hotel names on them, then he placed them on the coffee table.What Luke did had caught the children’s attention. They stood beside the coffee table and looked at Old Master Crawford. It was a pretty good idea to solve the problem. Old Master Crawford drew one of the papers casually. “This will be it.”“Alright.” Luke opened it and looked at it.“Daddy, what hotel is it?” Rainie was curious.“Hotel Viking,” answered Luke.Rainie immediately replied, “Didn’t Mommy participate in the design of that hotel?”There was a deafening silence in the living room after she said that.Rainie realized that sh
“Alright, I got it. I’ll keep this a secret,” Johann nodded and said.Luke left the hospital and returned to T Corporation. Jason served him a cup of coffee not long after he entered the office.“Boss, do you need me to postpone the meeting until afternoon?” he asked. Luke did not inform him in advance today and came late to the office. Hence, he took the liberty of postponing the meeting. He needed to ask for his opinion now.Luke glanced at the time and asked, “Did Dr. Craw come to the office?”“Yes. Looking at the time, she should be doing experiments downstairs.” Jason reckoned. Luke took off his coat and ordered, “Don’t postpone it to the afternoon. Get ready for the meeting now. Ask Dr. Craw to take the minutes.” Jason had been nodding his head, but he was startled when he heard that Luca would be taking the meeting minutes.Had Luca’s job changed? Why would she take the meeting minutes?However, Jason had no choice but to follow his boss’ orders. He answered, “Yes, Bos
Jason had spoken on behalf of Luca. Jenni pouted and did not continue to speak.She was unconvinced. Luca was merely a researcher, yet she was still able to participate in such a big project meeting. If the project succeeded, it would be the largest architectural design project of the year for T Corporation… People who took part in the project would receive a bonus reward and commission when the time came. The most important thing was that one could gain Luke’s recognition…Luca listened to the conversation between Jason and Jenni. She was not bothered by it. What she had in mind was why Luke asked her to attend the meeting.Attending the meeting was equivalent to her being partly involved in the project. Luca switched on her laptop. It had been a long time since she took minutes. She thought for a few seconds, then she opened a folder. Jason placed the recording pen beside her hand and said, “Dr. Craw, you can use the recording pen if you don’t have one.”Luca indeed did
“Yes.” Luke put his hands in his pocket, maintaining a certain distance from Luca. He looked at her beautiful face. He could not imagine what she had gone through for the past three years. Why did she change her looks and return here?She did not acknowledge him when she came back. She still loved her children, but she was willing to treat the kids like how a stranger would.Why did she become like this…Luke wanted to question her so badly, but it was not the time yet. He could only keep her close and figure out who was the mastermind behind her.Even though three years had passed and things were no longer how they used to be, he still believed that the woman in front of him had never changed. She must have a reason for becoming like this. “But my research has reached a critical stage now. I can’t leave…” Luca declined. She had to accomplish the mission, but she could never deceive Luke. Although she had been lying to him all this while, she could not bear to do this to him
Luca did not expose Jason when she listened to his explanation. It would be difficult to change anything once Luke had made his decision. “Mr. Doyle, I’m going downstairs,” said Luca. The office was still in the midst of being cleaned. She had no choice but to head to the office downstairs to organize the meeting minutes. “Alright. They’ll finish cleaning the office today. Dr. Craw, you may come upstairs to work tomorrow morning.” Jason smiled politely. Although he had no idea why Luke made this arrangement, nothing would ever go wrong if he listened to his boss.“Sure.” Luca nodded.She went back to her office downstairs. She received an email from the company after a while.It was her transfer letter.Rhett knocked on the door and entered. He had seen the transfer letter as well and wanted to ask what had happened.“Dr. Craw, are you busy?” Rhett was wondering if he would be disturbing her when he saw her with her earphones on and her fingers continuously typing on the keybo
