The mellowness of the butter spread in her mouth. Luca took another bite and watched Luke out of the corners of her eyes.She knew that Luke did not like sweets.However, there were only desserts and fruits in the mini bar.Luca said softly when she noticed that Luke was just staring at the desserts, "Mr. Crawford, if you don’t like sweets, you can try the chocolate cake."Luke pointed to the little chocolate cake and said, "This one?""Yeah." Luca nodded. The cake was mainly made of dark chocolate and cocoa powder, so it would not be as sweet as other cakes.Luke took a bite, and the aroma of rich chocolate and cocoa attacked his taste buds. It was not too sweet, so he could still accept it.He slightly raised the corners of his mouth.Luca noticed the arc of his smile and could not help but ask curiously, "Mr. Crawford, what are you smiling at?""Rainie's favorite as a child was chocolate," Luke said.Luca nodded. She knew that.Her little girl loved sweet things, especial
After he stood up straight, Jason cleared his throat and asked softly, "Boss, can I have a word with Dr. Craw?"His question made Luca blush.She was standing there, but Jason asked Luke first. It was as if he was worried about tipping the man off...It was made to seem like she was very close to Luke.Luca suppressed her shyness and asked, "Mr. Doyle, what's the matter?"Jason laughed dryly, glanced at Luke, and confirmed that the man’s expression was normal before he asked, "Dr. Craw, did you bring the hangover prevention medicine?""Ah, yes." Luca let go of Luke's hand, took out a medicine bottle from her bag, and handed it to Jason.Jason happily took it, took one for himself, and swallowed it. Luca glanced at the people next to her. In Russia, both men and women were very good at drinking. Jason asked her for the medicine so as to not lose the face of T Corporation if he could not drink.She said, "Mr. Zac, do you need it?"Hearing what she said, Jason turned around to
"That sounds great." Luke would not miss such a good opportunity. He led Luca and followed behind Marcos.Jason and the others stayed where they were.Several of them took wine glasses from the waiter's tray. They could not help but sigh in admiration when they saw the scene in front of them."This place is so well designed," the employee of the design department said."Of course, this was designed by Mikal, the master of interior design in the last century," Jason said. He did some research after they were invited to the manor for the banquet.The other female employee looked at Luke and Luca. She could not help but say, "Is it an illusion? The boss and Dr. Craw look great together."Jason glanced at them and took a sip of his wine. It was not an illusion. He reminded them, "These words can't be said out loud. The boss should never hear them.""I know, Mr. Doyle. I’m just admiring," the female employee said.She had worked in T Corporation for a while, so she knew what to say
Marcos covered his forehead with his hands and replied with a weak voice, “Sure.” “They can hold their alcohol well.” Another drunken executive muttered to himself. On the other hand. After the others followed the butler and left, Luke accidentally lost his balance and staggered.Luca helped him up immediately and said, “Mr. Crawford, be careful.” As the CEO of T Corporation, Luke was toasted with the most during the party, and he was the one who drank the most among them.“I’m fine.” Luke shot a glance at Luca. Fortunately, he had taken Luca’s pill before coming to the party. Otherwise, he would be lying on the floor by now.They headed to the entrance of the living room. As Matysh walked toward them, his eyes brightened up the moment he saw Luca. A beautiful woman like her did exist! Looking at how she was nicely dressed up, he knew that she came to attend the party. However, he had been busy entertaining different types of guests at the party. How could he not have
“What a monster!” Rage was burning inside Luca at the thought of those innocent women who had fallen into Matysh’s trap. They could not seek justice because they were afraid of his power. Luca had this urge to teach Matysh a lesson and make sure he got what he deserved. Unfortunately, her days in Russia were numbered. Otherwise, she would have come up with a plan and fought for justice on behalf of those women. Luke explained to her when he noticed Luca's expression, "So, M Group was supposed to appoint Matysh to be their CEO based on seniority. But his family members were unhappy with all the things that he did. Besides, he didn't have any descendants. Hence, he was only asked to return to the company to take over M Group when Marcos had just graduated from university.”Marcos was a capable man, but no matter how outstanding he was, his status in the family was lower due to his mother’s humble upbringing. If it were not for Matysh’s wrongdoings, Marcos would not have had the
The following day.Luca was packing her luggage in the hotel room as they would be traveling back to the capital tonight. The doorbell rang. Luca recalled that the makeup artist had told her that she would be coming over to bring the dress and jewelry back. Hence, she walked out of her room.She coincidentally ran into Luke. “It’s the makeup artist,” Luca took the initiative to explain to him."Okay." Luke nodded. Carrying his cup, he walked into the kitchen. Luca went to open the door. Three people were standing outside the door. There was the makeup artist and her assistant. She did not know the other woman, but she looked familiar to her.“Ms. Aisha, this is Ms. Craw.” The makeup artist introduced Aisha to Luca once Luca opened the door. Aisha was shocked after they handed Luca’s photo to her last night. The expression on her face was exactly how it was on their faces the moment they saw Luca in that dress. Aisha muttered to herself after being shocked, “I didn’t expec
Aisha looked at Luca with confidence. The makeup artist told her that Luca loved the dress, and she was willing to pay a high price to purchase the dress. That was why Aisha used it as a bargaining chip to get the chance to cooperate with Luca.Luca frowned when Aisha just could not stop pestering her. Then, she declined and said, “I’m sorry. I’m going back to my country today. Please bring back the dress and the jewelry.” The dress was beautiful, but it was only a piece of clothing to her. It was not something irreplaceable.Aisha refused to give up and insisted, “We have a branch office in your country. We can hold the photoshoot there if it’s possible.” Luca secretly let out a sigh. How could this woman not give up no matter how hard she tried to reject her? The makeup artist beside Aisha felt that Aisha was trying too hard. No matter how hard she tried to convince Luca, Luca had no intention of becoming her model. “Ms. Aisha, why don’t we—”Aisha glanced at her impatie
On the other side of the manor.Mr. Valentin informed Marcos of the news about Matysh asking someone to investigate Luca.Marcos’ eyes darkened. Matysh did not listen to his advice. Mr. Valentin realized Marcos was keeping silent and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Marcos, should we stop Master Matysh?”“Who would be able to stop him?” Marcos’ tone was filled with disgust. Other than the elders in the family, no one could stop Matysh.However, no one in the family would care about Matysh’s ridiculous behavior. After all, they were proud and stubborn, thinking that they were still living in an era where having a strong and wealthy family background meant they could dominate everything. Even if what Matysh did was wrong, they would let him do whatever he wanted because of his status. Marcos had no right to speak no matter how much money he had earned for this family. It became clear to Marcos that he was little more than a money-making machine for this family. The reason was simple.
