"No worries..." Queenie was slightly stunned when she heard that he had not won over Luca. She thought Luca was quite satisfied with Enoch.After all, Enoch was a good-looking bachelor. Many women were vying for a blind date with him."Have you encountered any difficulties?" Queenie thought about it and understood why he wanted to ask them out."No, I just want to invite the two of you to a meal." Enoch knew that talking on the phone would not give him the best opportunity, so he wanted to seize the opportunity to meet Queenie in person.Queenie thought about it for a while. She agreed, thinking that maybe he had something to talk to her about. "Okay, give me the time and date. Mr. Norman may not have time, so I'm not sure if he’ll attend. As for me, I’ll be there.""Okay, thank you, Mrs. Norman. I'll keep you posted once I’ve confirmed the date and time. I won't disturb you and Mr. Norman’s rest any further. Goodbye." Enoch was so happy that he wanted to jump upon hearing that Qu
Queenie noticed that Jack was reluctant to continue talking about the subject. Besides, it seemed like Jack had changed his attitude toward Luca. Queenie was worried about it. She was worried that something was going on with Bianca and Jack was choosing to avoid talking about it as he did not want to trigger her emotions. Queenie thought it would be better not to say another word when she saw Jack already lying on the bed.…The following day.Luca followed Luke’s car back to the office. She let out a sigh when there was no one around and pushed the car door open calmly. "Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Luca got out of the car right away after she thanked Luke. Since staying in the same villa as Luke, Luca had no reason to reject his offer to give her a ride to and back from the office as it was indeed convenient. After all, they had to be in the office at the same time. Luca would personally prepare breakfast for the children. She would leave for work after that, but Luke would
“I can tell who sent it without looking at it.” Luca felt annoyed. Giving Enoch the cold shoulder was not working at all. It seemed like she had to find a chance to make things clear with him.“Is it the guy you went on a blind date with?” Tina understood at once. If Luca was not happy to receive flowers from the man, that would only mean Luca was not interested in him.Tina looked at how distressed Luca was. It looked like the man had yet to notice that Luca had no feelings for him. Luca nodded and turned on her laptop. "I'm not planning to date anyone, let alone get married. So, I've been giving him the cold shoulder after we had lunch last time. But it seems like he's not giving up yet."Tina stroked her chin and made a suggestion. “If he’s not planning to give up, then you should just be honest and make it clear to him. If he continues to bother you, you can find someone else to put on a show with you. I’ve done that before to get rid of a nuisance.” Luca knew only too well
“Smokin' Hot Steakhouse? Alright, I’m coming down now.” Luca knew Queenie was looking for her because of Enoch, but she bit the bullet and went to meet her.“Oh, I reserved a private room. Just mention my name to the waiter when you come in later,” said Queenie. It was different this time. Last time, Queenie was hoping Luca's colleagues would know that Luca was on a blind date. That was why she picked a cafe without a private room. This time, Enoch needed to talk to Luca. They needed a quieter place to have a conversation. Hence, Queenie reserved a private room under her name. "Alright, Mrs. Norman. Please give me a moment. I'm heading there now," replied Luca. She hung up the call, stood up, and walked out of the office. While she was in the elevator going downstairs, she wondered if she should make it clear to Enoch in front of Queenie. She knew Queenie would be able to understand her. Love and relationships could not be forced, after all.What made Luca worried was that
Queenie let out a sigh. “Stop pushing yourself. It’s my fault. Love can’t be forced. Enoch, you just have to let it go.”Enoch smiled at her. Love could not be forced, but he had already fallen in love with Luca at first sight.Enoch had been single for years. It was not because no one had ever introduced him to other women, but it was he who felt that those women were no match for him. That was why he had chosen to stay single. That was all until he met Luca. Luca’s appearance, aura, personality, and career were good enough for him. That was how he began to fall in love with her. Enoch thought Luca would be satisfied with him, but he did not expect that Luca would show no interest in him. He had been living a smooth sailing life, but he had encountered setbacks at that particular moment. Enoch did not express his emotions in front of Queenie, but he was secretly holding a grudge against this matter. …On the other hand.Luca hurried back to the office. She let out a sigh
Jason nodded and walked out of the office. When Jason reached the elevator, he realized Luke's elevator doors were still open. He walked toward it curiously. Then, Luke spoke and said, "Come in."Jason nodded and entered the elevator. The elevator doors closed slowly. Jason lifted his head to look at the floor numbers that were constantly going up. Although he had been working with Luke for so many years, he would still feel a little pressured to be in the same elevator as him.Luke was his boss, after all…“Is there anything unusual with Luca lately?” Jason was startled for a moment, then he felt guilty all of a sudden. Did Luke find out about it? No one was spreading the news that Luca had gone on a blind date, though. How did he know about it? Was it because of that bouquet?“Boss, what do you mean by anything unusual?” Jason blinked his eyes. "Is she keeping in touch with any other man?" Luke went straight to the point. He noticed Luca's phone had been constantly ring
"I'm just here to pick you up from work. You didn't drive to work, right? Well, I drove today. The weather is cold, and you'll be freezing if you wish to hail a ride by the roadside. Isn't it good if I can offer you a ride?” Enoch said. A lot of women wanted a man to be thoughtful and care for them. That was why Enoch came here just to wait for her. After all, government staff got off work earlier than employees in the private sector. He had plenty of time to come here and wait for Luca.Luca took another step back. She would have informed the security guards without hesitation if it would not alert everyone in the office. “Mr. Campbell, please understand that I’m not going to change my mind no matter what you do. So, please leave.” Enoch's heart sank, and anger was bottled up inside him, but he did not let it out. "Luca, I like you. Can't you give me a chance? Look at me. I own a car and a house. I'm not that bad…”Tina, who was standing beside Luca, could no longer stand it. She
Enoch drove all the way while following behind the cab Luca was in.Then, he reached the entrance of the villa district. He stopped the car beside the road and watched Luca get out of the car before walking into the villa district. "She's staying in a villa district?" Enoch glanced at the houses in front of him. The prices of such villa districts had surpassed the average real estate prices in A City over the recent years. It was even about to exceed the land price of the mansions built by those wealthy people back then. Those who could stay here were mostly successful entrepreneurs and A-list celebrities. “Is Luca that rich?” Enoch furrowed his brows suspiciously, refusing to believe that. Although Luca had a decent job and she came back from abroad, only a few could afford to stay in these mansions…Enoch picked up his phone and saved the video he recorded. Then, he asked a friend who was working in the housing and urban development field out for dinner before leaving. L
