“There’s no need to cook tonight. We have to attend M Group’s dinner party,” Luke reminded her as he sat down and picked up a knife and a fork.If the signing was successful, there would definitely be a dinner party to attend.Luca was startled for a moment before she nodded. “Alright.”As for dinner parties, Jason was already used to them. Not much needed to be said,The three of them had breakfast in silence.After the news had finished reporting the theft of the police station’s evidence room, they started reporting the signing ceremony held on that day between M Group and T Corporation.The economic experts on the news analyzed the economic development and benefits that the signing between the two companies would bring. Luca silently listened while spreading peanut butter on her bread.The signing between both companies was a good thing.It would promote economic cooperation between the two countries as well as economic development, which would improve the living standards
Percy was getting frustrated from talking to Pierre. However, he was different from Pierre. He was sensible in all circumstances, even when he was provoked and raged."Stun him, tie him up, and bring him into the room," he said.The bodyguard who just walked in did not know what was going on. He said quickly, "Boss, is that the best idea?""Tie him up!" Percy did not have the patience to deal with Pierre.The bodyguards glanced at Pierre. Two of them gathered around him and said apologetically, "Don’t mind us, Young Master Pierre."Pierre looked at the approaching bodyguards and stepped on the chair angrily. "Percy, fight me if you’re a man! How can you call yourself a man when you’re getting two bodyguards to handle me?""You can't even fight against two of them. Do you think you're all that?" Percy said with a stern expression. "Pierre, I’ve been letting you off easily for so many years because you’re my brother. I have bailed you out so many times, but you chose to put all tha
“Don’t make fun of me. You don’t look like you’ve been eating well since I’ve been gone.” Percy looked at her frail face with pity."Mrs. Euphegenia told you?" Nina stuck out her tongue. Mrs. Euphegenia was the maid hired by Percy to take care of their day-to-day life in the villa. Her appetite had truly worsened since he left.It was mainly because she missed him...Before she acknowledged her feelings for him, she never thought that there would be a day when she would lose her appetite because she missed him so much."Mrs. Euphegenia didn't tell me anything. I can see that your face has gotten thinner." Percy felt that if the situation dragged on, Nina would get thinner and all his previous efforts would be in vain."Is it that obvious?" Nina touched her face. If he had not mentioned it, she would not have noticed anything. After he brought it up, she realized that whenever she lost weight, it would start from the face."Eat well and wait for me to come back," Percy said."O
Another employee echoed, "I’ve done my research. The manors here were built in the last century. They’re European-style and extremely luxurious.""Really?""Really. Mr. Marcos' family is one of the largest families in Russia. They have a mountain of wealth and long family history," Mr. Zac echoed.They were delighted to be able to attend a dinner at his manor.Luca stood there silently and did not participate in their discussion.After Luke finished giving instructions to Jason, he walked over.Everyone stopped talking and looked at Luke cheerfully."Let’s go back to the hotel. Mr. Doyle will sort everything out," Luke said. The hotel car was already waiting at the entrance of M Group.The employees nodded, and they left together.After they walked out, they found that the reporters were still waiting at the entrance.When the reporters saw Luke, they prepared the microphones and wanted to interview him.M Group's security guards approached the reporters, and Luke did not bo
The suite door was pushed open when Luca was about to lift her clothes.Luke looked in the direction of the entrance. He was livid.Jason stood there. He noticed that the distance between the two was very close as if something R18+ was about to go down.He also noticed a blush on Luca's face.Jason's gaze shifted to Luke's face. He saw his livid expression and knew that he made a wrong move by opening the door at that moment...He glanced at the people behind him.Jason did not go in, so they did not dare to take a step forward as well.Luca saw them, and her hand that held the corner of her clothes was let go in a daze. She subconsciously took a step back to create some distance.The atmosphere was silent and odd.Jason awkwardly broke the silence. "Boss, how about I take the makeup artists downstairs for a cup of coffee first?""No, wait at the door." Luke looked cross. He gave Jason the spare card to his room so that he could come in without ringing the doorbell as it woul
Luca did not ponder too much before she replied in Russian, “I’m fine as long as it’s not too heavy."The makeup artist was overjoyed that Luca spoke Russian because that meant that she could communicate with her better. She stood behind Luca and looked at her in the mirror.After a while, the makeup artist said, "You look so beautiful. It would be a waste to put on European or American-style makeup on you. I think I would like to try classical makeup on you. How does that sound?""I’m happy to have you decide." Luca did not have many requirements for her makeup. However, she had a headache knowing that she would have to sit here for hours.The makeup artist started doing her makeup with confidence seeing that she did not have as many requirements as her other clients.Styling took a lot of time. Luke glanced at Luca's room, which was full of people. Based on previous experience, he knew that she would not be ready for a while.He put down the teacup in his hand and went into his
Although Luca was perfect for this dress, Aisha had stated that this dress was one of her proudest works. It was only for rent, not for sale.The makeup artists could not do anything about it either.Luke took out his business card and handed it to the makeup artist. "I would appreciate it if you can talk to the designer. I want to buy this dress."Luca looked so beautiful in the dress that he wanted to buy it and give it to her. The makeup artist took his card and could tell that he really wanted it. She nodded and said, "I'll discuss it with Aisha.""Okay." Luke's gaze fell on Luca once again.The makeup artist felt that she was the biggest third wheel here. She cleared her throat and said, "Sir and Ma'am, if the two of you are satisfied with this look, I’ll make a move."Jason had told her to come to him after she was done with the styling, so the makeup artist did not ask Luke to settle the bill."Mm." Luke returned to his room.The personnel packed up their things. After
Luca glanced at the ring in her hand, then at Luke.He closed the jewelry box and handed it to her. "Keep it safe.""Mr. Crawford..." Luca frowned slightly. ‘He asked me to keep the jewelry box. Does this mean that he’s planning to gift the jewelry to me? It’s such a precious piece of jewelry…Is Luke serious about me?’"Take it, put it away, and get ready to go." Luke glanced at the time. They needed to leave soon.Luca had no choice but to take it and put the box back on the table in the room. She then walked out of the room, picked up the cashmere shawl left by the makeup artists, and put it on her shoulders.Luke looked at her and frowned. Although she had a cashmere shawl, it was snowing heavily outside. She would be cold when they got in and out of the car, so he picked up the coat beside him and put it on Luca's shoulder. "Put on this coat before we arrive at the manor.""Thank you, Mr. Crawford." The coat smelled faintly of lemon. Luca felt safe with his coat on her.Hi
