Luca nodded. She knew Luke was in his office based on what Jason had told her. He was not planning to go down for lunch.That would be great. That way, he would not find out that she was going on a blind date. Jason and Luca got into the elevator together. He pressed the button for the first floor and asked Luca, "Dr. Craw, where are you going for lunch? Would you like to join us?" “I have a lunch date.” Luca shook her head and rejected Jason’s offer.Lunch date? Jason raised his brows. Luca was only closer to Tina in the office, and she was considered a lone wolf. Who could she possibly have a lunch date with?Could it be that younger brother of hers? It would be a disaster if Luke found out about it. A jealous man was the scariest. When Luke got jealous, that was even more terrifying. “Are you having lunch with your younger brother?” Jason asked immediately.Luca shook her head and replied, “No.”“I see…" Jason still wanted to ask her who she was having lunch with, but s
If Jason told Luke about it, normal employees like them would probably have to deal with a hot-headed boss for the whole day…However, if Jason chose to not tell Luke, what should he do if some other man was stealing the lady boss from Luke?Jason was in a dilemma. He ran into Tina when he entered the office. Tina was carrying a lunch box. It seemed she had gotten a takeaway as well. “Tina, you didn’t dine in for lunch?” “I was late when I came down. There wasn't a seat left in the cafe next door, so I ordered takeout instead,” Tina said helplessly. “You ordered takeout at the cafe next door?” Jason glanced at the takeout packaging she was carrying. It was indeed from the cafe next door."Yes. I even saw Dr. Craw's date just now. He's quite handsome. If someone introduced me to such a cute guy for a blind date, I wouldn't have to be pressured by my parents for not getting married yet." Tina put on a love-struck expression on her face. She had been sizing Luca's date up when sh
Enoch nodded his head understandingly. “Oh, I’m sorry.” "It's alright. You work in a different industry, so it’s normal for you to be unaware of some practices here. Anyway, I’ll head back to work now.” Luca let out a sigh of relief when Enoch did not insist on sending her upstairs. Queenie did not say anything either.Luca had no idea how she was going to reject Enoch if he insisted on sending her there. However, he seemed like a generous man. He would not do things abruptly. Luca would just distance herself from him after this. Enoch would understand what was going on even if she did not spell it out for him.Luca accepted Queenie’s arrangement, but there was nothing Queenie and Jack could do if Luca and Enoch did not click well with each other. “Sure. I’ll keep in touch with you through Facebook,” Enoch added. It had been such a long time since he met a woman who caught his eyes, and that was why he wanted to go for it. Luca nodded, turned around, and left. Queenie smile
Luca shook her head. What would happen if Luke found out about it?If Luke was really bothered about her blind date, then everyone in the office would get into trouble…Luca glanced at the time. There were two minutes left until lunch break was over. She trotted over to clock in.Luke walked out of his office and saw Luca clocking in. Then, he walked toward her.Luca turned around and saw the man in front of her. She could not help but be startled for a moment. She lowered her head unconsciously, avoiding his gaze. She had no idea why she had this guilty feeling when she saw Luke…It was as if she had done something wrong and was caught…However, she was Luca now, not Bianca. The identity Abel had given her was a single, unmarried woman, not a married woman…“Mr. Crawford, I’m going back to work now,” said Luca.Luke frowned when he noticed Luca was running away from him like a mouse running away from a cat. He asked, “Why are you so late?” “I was having lunch just now and
Sue could not hold back when she saw her in this state. “That’s right. She’s fine. You don’t need to be worried.”“How can I not be worried…” Nina was still in shock as she lifted her head to look at her best friend. “If anything were to happen to her, I can forget about living a good life.”Sue felt a pinch in her heart. No one would have thought that Madison would attempt suicide. Looking at her trembling made Sue utterly heartbroken. She hugged her tightly and comforted her, saying, “This has nothing to do with you. She was the one who isn’t in her right mind, causing her to take the wrong path.”Nina was in Sue’s arms and thought of Percy. If it were not because he wanted to be with her, he would not have caused so many problems without her knowledge and even gone against the Johnston family.Despite knowing that the Johnston family had been having problems for a long time and it was only a matter of time before they would be targeted by others, it remained a fact that Madison
Nina's mother, Pierre, and Madison were all receiving treatment in the same hospital. After giving it a thought, she asked Johann for a favor.Considering that she had a connection to Luke, coupled with the fact that Jason and Johann were both her friends, Nina asked him to help check on Madison’s condition.Johann agreed to it.After finishing his rounds, Johann sauntered toward the psychiatric department while yawning. Before arriving, he saw Pierre walking out with two people trailing behind him while carrying two suitcases in their hands. 'Has he been discharged?'Johann raised his brows. 'It seems that Luca really knows how to deliver a heavy blow.' Back when Pierre was first admitted, he was in so much pain. After being in pain for two to three days, it seemed that he had returned to normal and could be discharged. He smiled and walked over. "Mr. Mallory, have you been discharged?"Pierre knew that Johann was one of Luke’s people, so in other words, he was on Percy's s
"We can't chase them away. It's obvious that the Johnston family has arranged for them to stay here,” Johann told her while shaking his head.Tia suddenly felt that something was off after hearing this.'Any psychiatric patient would want to keep a low profile, yet this patient is openly receiving the reporters’ attention. It seems that the Johnstons are trying to make a big deal out of Madison’s attempted suicide.’"This is interesting. Help me find out which ward she’s in," Tia asked.Johann put on a helpless look on his face. "I'm not a nurse.""Then why are you standing here?" Tia glared at him helplessly, then turned to look at the reporters beside her while feeling glad that she had put on makeup before leaving her house today. Otherwise, she would have a rough road ahead if the reporters saw her without makeup.Johann smirked. "I'm enjoying the scene. It seems that you do enjoy being photographed by the reporters."Tia retrieved her gaze and cursed inwardly. Johann was ve
Percy paused for a moment and continued, "What I'm trying to say is to let Nina stay over at your place for the time being."Earlier, he received a call from the maid at the villa telling him that there were reporters outside the villa and she could not chase them away as they insisted on staying until they saw Nina.He had to stay in the office to settle this issue and could not return, but he could not do anything about this either as it involved Nina. "About this…" Luca felt troubled. "Are there many reporters at your villa? Why not have Nina stay at the previous apartment?""She needs company now. That's why I thought of this arrangement. Actually, she already knows about what’s going on between you and Luke, so you don’t have to worry too much about it," said Percy.Luca was speechless and wondered how Percy knew that she was staying together with Luke.However, when she thought about the relationship Percy and Luke shared, it was possible that Luke had told Percy about it.
