The more Susan thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She muttered, "No, I'm going to ask Louis about this. He’s so unsensible. What’s wrong with staying here? Why does he want to move out?"The butler watched her leave in a hurry and shook his head helplessly.Louis was the kind of person who did not fight for anything. It was normal for him to want to move out after being forced by her to fight for everything every day....After Luke arrived at the office, he immediately asked Jason to schedule a meeting.The entire management team was expected to be present, including Luca.After she received the news, Luca packed up the materials she needed for the meeting. As she carried her laptop, she suddenly thought of what Luke had said last night…This morning, she ran away and left like an ostrich. However, she knew that she would have to face him sooner or later...It was what it was. Although she had to deal with Luke because of work, she still felt uncomfo
They stopped talking as soon as Jason walked in.Jason glanced at the seat next to the CEO’s and did not see Luca. He frowned and asked, "Where's Dr. Craw? She’s not here yet?""She's helping Tina make coffee." The executive who led the conversation about Luca earlier replied.Jason nodded. It was not Luca's job to make coffee but he did not say anything. He reminded them, "Get ready. The meeting is about to start. Mr. Crawford’s hands are full, so try to simplify things as much as possible when you present later. Focus on key points so that you can save yours and other people’s time.”"Yes, Mr. Doyle." The executives knew how strict Luke was with work and agreed readily.Luca and Tina walked in with the coffee. When Jason saw them, he immediately stepped forward and picked up two cups of coffee. "Tina can handle this. Dr. Craw, you'd better take your seat.""Yeah, Dr. Craw," Tina said.The executives listened to what Jason said and sighed secretly in their hearts. From his atti
Luke noticed the laptop in his hands and frowned. “Is this Luca’s laptop?”“Yes, Boss. This is Dr. Craw’s laptop. There’s only half an hour left ‘til their lunch break ends, so I told them to go have their lunch first and I’ll bring their laptops back,” Jason explained.Luke’s frown deepened. Would that make Luca think that he was an inconsiderate person while Jason was an understanding person? Jason looked at Luke’s expression. He could not help but wonder and asked, “What’s the matter, Boss?”Luke said in a cold voice, “Well, you sure know how to please others.” He grabbed Luca’s laptop from him. “Is there anything else that belongs to her?” Jason quickly handed two folders to him and said, “These belong to Dr. Craw…”Jason dared not to keep anything as he realized the extent of his boss’ possessiveness over Luca…Luke took them from him and asked, “Where’s my lunch?”“I’ve already placed the order this morning. It should be on the way here now,” answered Jason. As Luke’s
Luca was speechless. It seemed like Jason was not willing to help her.She would have to face Luke alone sooner or later. She pondered for a moment before walking out of the office. Rather than facing Luke alone at home, it was better to face him in the office. At least he would assess the situation and not do anything crazy to her.Luca thought for a moment and knocked on Luke's office door.“Come in.” Luke’s voice came from the other side of the door.Luca pushed the door open and saw the man busy with his work. She took a deep breath and entered the office. “Mr. Crawford, I came to get my laptop and folders.”“They’re here.” Luke pointed at the edge of his office desk without lifting his head.Luca nodded, picked up her things, and was ready to leave. “I need to talk to you,” said Luke.Luca paused, then closed her eyes. She could not run away from him, so she had no choice but to listen. “Yes, Mr. Crawford?”“I’ll be busy for the time being and I’d like to take the apar
The following day.The people from the moving company were already here when Luca woke up. She did not have a lot of things with her. There were only two suitcases of clothes and books, as well as some experiment instruments that were already packed. The people from the moving company were busy for a while, then they started moving her belongings into the truck. One of them asked, “Miss, would you like to follow us to the new address?”Luca thought Luke must have already made arrangements for her, so she shook her head and said, “I have to go to work. Send my things to the address and someone will meet you all there.” “Alright.” The worker from the moving company turned around and left. Luca returned to the apartment. She took the antidote that had been separated from the fridge and put it in her briefcase.She did not trust the moving company to move them there.After Luca brought the antidote with her, she distributed the soup into different flasks and left the apartment
“Didn’t you prepare soup for Boss? You can pass it to him along with the documents.” Jason dared not to enter Luke’s office as he might cross the line. He was just joking before, but he dared not do it anymore. Besides, if Luca did not go into Luke’s office, the rest of them would all be in trouble later. Jason urged Luca to do it. She did not tell him about her hesitation.Jason noticed that she was not taking any action, so he said, "Boss saw me drinking the soup just now. He looked mad." “Did you tell him that I gave you the soup?” Luca wanted to know if he did it on purpose.Jason did not have to piss Luke off. “Yes. Boss was wondering why I was drinking soup early in the morning. His expression changed when he knew it was you who gave it to me. Dr. Craw, we have to attend a meeting later. If Mr. Crawford isn’t in a good mood, we’ll all be screwed.” Jason recalled the look on Luke’s face. It was as black as ink. It would be hard to resolve this. Luca was probably the on
Nina had been lying on the bed for the whole morning. The maid did not come in to disturb her anymore. The bedroom was pushed open when it was noontime. The maid came and saw that the breakfast was left there, untouched. She could not help but mock Nina. "Ms. Nina, you sure know how to waste your food." Nina closed her eyes, refusing to talk to her. No matter what she said, she would not be able to get out of here. She figured that she would save some energy for herself.The maid glanced at the person at the door and said, “Since Ms. Nina refuses to eat, then please give her a nutrition injection.”“No!” Nina opened her eyes. She knew what a nutrition injection was and she refused to get that. She thought of showing defiance against Pierre by refusing to eat and asking him to let her go. If she was given the nutrition injection, it was useless for her to go on a hunger strike.Although nutrition injection was not as good as eating food, it could keep her alive and prevent anyt
The female doctor replied, “She’s asleep. Don’t worry. We added a drug that puts her to sleep in the IV drip to prevent her from crying and causing us any trouble.”The maid nodded. The female doctor looked at Nina's face and sighed quietly. “She’s hardly considered a stunning beauty. Her figure is slim and looks good, but she’s way too skinny in some parts. She's different from the other women Boss used to be with.” The two doctors were private doctors whom Pierre had hired. That was why they knew most of Pierre’s ex-girlfriends. The maid said, “As ordinary as she looks, this woman seems to be Boss’ favorite. Now, stop talking nonsense. You'll probably get into trouble in the future if she can hear you. Judging from her situation now, she's going to submit to the boss sooner or later.""She's asleep now. She can't hear any of this. Relax," said the female doctor. The IV drip had just finished. She pulled off the needle, pressed on the injection spot for a while, and let go of
