“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
"Dr. Craw, come over and take a look. The office table is placed here, and the computer is here. Is that fine?" Jason asked when he saw her come in."I'm fine with anything. The sleeping bag…" Luca pointed at the sleeping bag on the couch. It was her first time seeing a sleeping bag in the office. “Oh, about this, you might need to work overtime. You may have to stay in the office when it gets busy. A sleeping bag is a lot more comfortable than sleeping on the couch,” said Jason. He was a detail-oriented person. Luca nodded. She would indeed be busy. However, she would always just rest her head and arms on the desk whenever work got too busy. It was nothing like this. There was even a sleeping bag in her office now.The cleaner left after cleaning up the office. Jason said, “Take a look around. Tell Tina if you need anything else.” "It's well-prepared. Thank you, Mr. Doyle." Luca glanced at the office desk. Nothing was missing. “Don’t mention it. It was the boss’ orders.” J
Luca pushed the car door open. She was still confused as to why he would bring her here to try the dishes.Would it not be better if he brought the old master or his children here? They were a family, after all. They would know what each other’s preferences were. Luke got out of the car and closed the car door. He walked toward her side. He stood tall beside her. It made her feel like she was protected standing next to him. She would be happy if it were in the past, but now she felt stressed standing beside him.She probably felt guilty for lying to him… Luca tried to behave naturally, but she still felt stressed. The man’s aura was too strong. She might just tell him everything right now if he questioned her.Luke shot her a glance and sensed her anxiety.She was probably wondering why he chose to bring her here, right?Before this, she was responsible for organizing Old Master Crawford's birthday every year. The old master loved everything she arranged for him, be it the
Luke picked up the piece of paper with the course meal written on it and glanced at it. He handed it to the manager without making any changes to it. “We’ll pick these for the banquet.”Luca was startled. Had he made his decision? Was Luke not going to consider it again?The manager did not expect Luke to make his decision so quickly. He confirmed with him after glancing at the piece of paper. "Mr. Crawford, are you sure you want this course meal and there are no further changes?"“Yes.” Luke ordered, “Leave the dishes we selected her and take the others away.” The manager replied to him and hurriedly asked the waiters to take the other dishes away.After three minutes, only the dishes that Luca picked were left on the table. This was the first time the manager saw someone picking the dishes so quickly. He said happily, “Enjoy your dinner.”He left the private room with the other waiters.Luca and Luke were left alone in the private room. Luca stopped and looked at the man
If she were some other woman who got kidnapped and was threatened with a knife, she would have been so frightened till she started begging for mercy or she would just pass out. However, Luca was unusually calm. She did not cry or ask for forgiveness even when someone was holding a knife in her face, which was covered by a gunny bag.She was different from the others.The man who held the knife was slightly surprised. He sneered and kept the knife away.Luca could sense that the knife was kept away. She said, "I can't breathe with the gunny bag over my head."“Cut the nonsense. Believe it or not, my brother and I will kill you right now!” Another man was feeling uneasy because of her unusually calm demeanor. He was trying to frighten Luca with his loud voice."I know both of you don't want me to see you, that's why you covered my head with a gunny bag. I’m guessing you're also wearing masks right now. How are you going to explain to the mastermind behind you if I run out of brea
