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
After she did everything, she went back to her bedroom to rest. However, she heard the noises of a car driving in and the engine turning off. Luke had come back…Luca made her way down the steps. When she stepped on the curtail step, she happened to see Luke walking into the house. He looked cold as he closed the door. Luke frowned when he saw her and asked, “It’s late. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”“I was going to sleep, but I heard the sound of your car…” Luca looked at Luke's face. He still looked energetic, but she had no idea if he had his dinner already. She asked, “Mr. Crawford, I saved some broccoli chicken casserole for you. Do you want some?”Luke did not have his dinner, but it was well past dinner time. He was not feeling hungry either. However, when Luke heard Luca asking him that, he asked her, “You made it?” “Yes. It only takes five minutes to reheat, then you can have it,” said Luca, remembering that Luke had a weak stomach. “Alright. I’ll have it,” replied
When she listened to Luca’s thoughtful words, Queenie was reminded of Bianca.If her daughter was as thoughtful as the person in front of her, she would not have to worry that much. Queenie looked at Luca's gentle face. Queenie always had this familiar feeling and unknown intimacy for Luca. Queenie’s eyes welled up a little while staring at her. She suddenly had inexplicable mixed feelings surging within her. “Luca, I’m sorry for what happened this time.” “Mrs. Norman, you didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?” Luca shook her head. She smiled at her to calm Queenie down. Queenie was her biological mother. She would not blame her no matter what she did. Besides, Queenie had her own reason for what had happened this time. She could not blame Queenie and Jack for what had happened. “No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have introduced someone to you before getting to know him better. Enoch must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?” Queenie reflected on everything t
Queenie was worried that Enoch was bothering Luca again when she heard that he had done something. She became nervous and said, “Enoch, things like love and relationships can’t be explained by just reason.” Enoch saw the anxious expression on her face and replied, “Mrs. Norman, don’t worry. I didn’t bother Luca. But I found out why she rejected me.” Queenie was startled for a moment, then she asked, “Why?” "I thought of picking her up from work yesterday, but after I saw her get into a cab, I followed her. I didn’t bother her. I just followed her all the way back to her house. However, I found out that she’s staying in a villa district in A City called Gilded Gem Villas. You should know about this villa district, right?" said Enoch. Gilded Gem Villas?Luca was startled. Previously when Luca was sent back home by their driver, she was clearly staying in an ordinary apartment building. Why was she suddenly staying in a luxurious villa district? “Enoch, did you get it wrong?”
The driver sent Jack a message. After reporting Queenie’s abnormal behavior, Queenie’s phone rang after some time had passed.Upon seeing that it was a call from Jack, she immediately placed her phone aside and did not intend to answer the call.The driver looked behind and saw that Queenie was still looking outside the window, paying close attention to every car that passed by.Seeing her in such a state left him with no choice but to remind her, "Mrs. Norman, your phone is ringing.""It's not important," said Queenie. Seeing that Jack was calling her at this hour, she figured that he just wanted to tell her that he would be home late. Compared to what she was doing now, which was waiting at this spot to see whether or not Luca would show up, this call was not important at all. The driver stuttered and felt that Queenie was not being herself. She just kept staring outside the window as if she was trying to catch her husband having an affair red-handed.Her phone rang more than
"Young Masters, Young Miss, Ms. Craw, please get into the car." Zander got down from the car and opened the door of the backseat.Lanie knew that the backseat had limited space, so he took the initiative and sat in the front passenger seat. He opened the front car door and got inside.Both his younger brother and sister loved staying close to their mother. Hence, as the elder brother, he was very mature and offered his seat to them so that they could be more comfortable.After they had all entered the car, Zander returned to the driver's seat.Luca said, "Uncle Zander, please drive us to a nearby mall first. I want to buy something."Since they were about to attend Jack and Queenie's wedding anniversary, she naturally should not attend empty-handed. She planned to get them some accessories as a gift.She would be doing the things Bianca used to do with her current identity as Luca.While Zander was putting on his seatbelt, he explained with a smile, "Ms. Craw, you don't have to p
