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
The three of them sat on the rug while staring at Luke. They did not say a word.“I took Tommy’s hair for a DNA test.” Luke nodded and admitted that he took the child’s hair for a DNA test.The three of them suddenly got excited. Lanie asked, “Daddy, did you find out where Mommy was?” “Yes.” Luke’s gaze fell upon the three of them as he looked at their faces one by one. Be it Lanie, Rainie, or Tommy, Bianca had spent a period of time away from their lives. Lanie and Rainie were still fine with it. He raised them all by himself since they were young. Hence, they were only upset after Bianca was kidnapped. It was not hard for them to get used to it.However, Tommy was raised with Bianca around him. He cried so much and it took a lot of time for him to get used to her absence.Luke spent so much time keeping him company to cheer him up.“Is Mommy back?” Tommy looked at him with a look of disbelief. “Your Mommy has always been around you. It’s just that her looks have changed,
Tommy got even more depressed when she did not pick up the call. It was nothing like last time. There was not even a loading page this time. He sent Luca an audio message. “Ms. Luca, are you busy? I miss you. Please send me a message after you’re done with your matters.”Tommy put down the tablet after the message showed that it was successfully sent. He walked out of the bedroom looking depressed. The excitement when he knew Luca was his mother a few minutes ago had disappeared all of a sudden after she rejected his video call request.Mr. Griffin saw Tommy and came to him. He asked with concern, “Young Master Tommy, what happened? Did someone bully you?”Tommy lifted his head and looked at the butler, complaining, “Mr. Griffin, Ms. Luca isn’t picking up my calls!”“Ms. Luca?” Mr. Griffin was wondering who Ms. Luca was. Was it Dr. Craw?“Yes. I sent her a video call request just now. She didn’t pick it up. Sob, sob, sob. Does that mean she doesn’t like me anymore?” Tommy rubb
Luca was secretly upset when she heard what he said.She thought she might have a chance to escape once her legs were untied, but although she was able to walk freely now, she could not get out of here.The blindfold was taken off as well. Luca looked at her legs. Indeed, there were two big iron balls chained to her feet. She was always cuffed with two big iron balls when she underwent physical training on the Island of Despair back then. Hence, such weight was nothing to her. However, her hands were tied up. There was little chance for her to escape. Luca did not look around. She stared directly at the three masked men in front of her. She knew they would not simply touch her after listening to their conversation. She was still safe for now.She had been behaving herself to let their guard down.Indeed, the three men left the room when she did not say anything or struggle.They kept a light on for her even though they had left the room.Luca looked around the room and notice
