After keeping all the documents, Luca took the laptop and walked toward the elevator.There were a few high-ranking executives behind her, and she heard them whispering. They were all trying to guess the reason behind Luke’s foul mood.“Perhaps his wife is flirting with another guy overseas and that’s the reason Mr. Crawford has such a terrible mood,” said one of the executives.“I don’t think so. Didn’t they say that their relationship worsened after she lost her memory? Regardless of how much trouble she causes, it shouldn't affect Mr. Crawford’s mood.”“That’s hard to say. According to past experience. not many can make Mr. Crawford this unhappy. Even if our proposal is terrible, he’ll just put on a dark expression and point it out. This time, he unleashed his domineering aura.” Luca could not help but lower her eyes when she heard their conversation.They were not wrong. No matter how dissatisfied Luke was with their work in the past, he would not behave like today…When th
Luke noticed she was evading his gaze and was feeling helpless.She failed to make out the helplessness and frustration in his eyes. "You're indeed late, Dr. Craw. Say, how should I punish you?" Listening to Luke’s deep voice, it sounded like he was angry. Luca was astonished as Luke was not the type to mutter gibberish.She thought he would just coldly say, ‘Get in the car.’ After all, she was not actually late.However, Luke did not act the way she expected and asked her directly how he should punish her.The word ‘punish’ was usually used as a joke between couples, parents speaking to their children, or even teachers speaking to their students. This sort of thing was not something that a boss would say to his subordinates. "Hmm?" Luke voiced out after noticing that Luca had yet to reply.Luca felt that something was off about Luke. She had no choice but to say, "Mr. Crawford, I don’t think I should be punished.”"Tell me your reasoning." Luke saw her lower her head and w
When she heard him saying those words, Luca felt a pinch in her heart.If she had the chance, she was not willing to be this cruel to Luke either…Luca lowered her eyes and felt the speed of the car gradually slow down. Luke no longer said a word. It was as if he had calmed down and was not as crazy as before.However, she could sense the atmosphere becoming much chillier as Luke was no longer saying anything. He just kept everything within himself.Luca sighed, and her instinct was telling her that this was not the end of it.The things Luke told her made Luca know that he was serious about her.It was not just a superficial liking, nor was it because he could not tolerate being lonely. It was just like before when she was Bianca. Being cornered by Luke like this made her feel as though she had returned to the past. Luca knew that her words were hurtful, but she could not explain herself. She could only pretend as though nothing had happened.Luke drove the car and arrived at
Luca knew it was time for her to speak.Even though Luke was there, she was not willing to talk but she still got to carry out Abel's order.Luca smiled and looked at Dr. Albus. "You're welcome, Dr. Albus. The credit for this medication research still goes to your research team's effort. All I did was solve a tiny problem. Those crucial data and all analyses were still completed by you guys. I'm not involved in those."Dr. Albus' eye glittered with admiration when he heard her reply. She did not hog all the glory.'Very good. She knew a lot more about the rules in the career field compared to when she first entered.'Luke got even more mad when he saw Luca smiling at Dr. Albus.'She smiled so sweetly to a professor who is not related to her but to me, she could just blurt out such a mean statement.'Luke suddenly got up and announced, "The meeting had ended."Dr. Albus' smile froze and looked at Luke. "Mr. Crawford…""For the remaining stuff, just follow the protocol will do."
[Enoch Campbell. I don't have much information about him. All I have is his handphone number. His number is…] Luca came to a pause as she could not recall his number. Hence, she searched through the blacklist numbers to look for Enoch's number and sent it to Amur.[He is also a government servant, not in a very high position. If you have the chance, I want all information about him. The best is his dark secrets.] Luca emphasized.Luca had no idea whether Amur would be able to look into Enoch's dark secrets but for now, she could only pray hard that if Enoch really had dark secrets and Amur would coincidentally find them.[How did he come to offend you?] Amur saw Luca's message waiting for dark secrets and knew that this person must have offended her.'Those who offend Luca have no peaceful day.'[He kept harassing me, causing me so much trouble. I want him to legally be out of my life.] Luca knew that Amur might go overboard, hence she empathized with the word legally.She would
"Right now, we don’t have any way to help father but to wait for him to settle it himself," said Lanie. Forcing Luca to stay back would only make her feel suspicious.However, Luke could only use the excuse of staying back for work and not returning for only a day or two.Lanie's small face which was similar to Luke became serious but deep in his heart, he was praying hard, hoping their father would think of a way to comfort Luca soon.At night, after the kids had dinner, they completed their remaining homework.Luca checked on their works and imitated Luke's signature to sign their homework. Then, she accompanied the kids to watch cartoons while she worked.It was still manageable for her to look after the kids while working.Fortunately, the kids were obedient and just sat still to watch their cartoons. When it was time for advertisement, they would eat fruits and drink their water, not intending to disturb her.It went on till 10 o'clock at night. Luca looked at the clock and
Before Luke could speak, Jim could not help but tease once more, "He's ready to give up on life for Bianca."Percy nodded in agreement.He would not have ended up suffering so much if he had been obedient back when Luke was on the Island of Despair.However, to get away from that place and return to Bianca, he was not bothered about his life and escaped immediately. He even blasted the entire island just to get rid any trouble that may reappear.The man, who was harsh to himself and other people, was treating Bianca with extra care. Currently, he even stayed in the bar all just so Bianca would not leave, and even dragged them along to accompany him in drinking liquor.The man before them had lost the rationale he used to have. All of his unusual behavior was all because of Luca.Jim looked at Luke, who was still binge drinking liquor and not saying a word. Then, he looked at Percy, who was still leaving him in suspense and urged, "If you got any options, please say it out fast. M
"Yes, sir." The bar manager heard it and quickly rushed to the scene. He quickly agreed to it after knowing that Percy had no intention of putting the blame on them.He prayed so hard for Percy to push all the blame onto the youngsters, who did not know their standings in society.Percy looked at Luke, who was lying on the ground and exchanged looks with Jim.'This time, he really got into an accident. It's just that this time, he was knocked down by others…'"Later I'll follow the ambulance to escort him to the hospital. You head back home first," Percy said to Jim. Currently, Jim's wife was pregnant with her third child, and it would not be appropriate for him to go back home late.Percy would just explain to Nina."Alright, just give me a call if there's anything," Jim said.After some time, the ambulance arrived at the scene. With the help of a few health care workers, Luke was placed on the stretcher and Percy boarded the ambulance, heading toward the hospital.In the ambu
