After the car was parked, Luke opened his eyes slightly and muttered, "Are we there yet?""We’re here, Mr. Crawford. Can you get out of the car by yourself?" Luca asked. He had been drinking, so she was not sure if he would be able to walk on his own."If I can't, will you let me sleep in the car for the night?" Luke sat there and did not move. He was half-squinting looking at Luca's side profile."No." Luca unbuckled his seat belt. "I'll help you get in.""No need." Luke sat up straight, unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and got out of the car.Luca frowned slightly. She was worried that he would fall, so she followed closely behind him as he walked into the living room.Aunt Neile was off work, so the villa did not have a single light on.When Luke was about to walk forward, Luca stepped over the threshold and whispered, "Mr. Crawford, I'll turn on the lights first."Luke stopped and propped himself against the wall.Luca stood at the entrance and found the switch. Af
Luca secretly let out a sigh.Luke was obviously drunk. How could a tough person like him bring up his embarrassing past if he was not drunk? When she was still Bianca back then, she had never seen the other side of him when he showed his weaknesses. "I always wondered what kind of person I would be today if Louis were born earlier," Luke said in a low voice.Previously, Susan was unable to get pregnant, and that was when Allison brought Luke back from the orphanage. She brought him to meet Old Master Crawford to acknowledge him as his grandfather.Luke would never have returned to the Crawford family if Louis had already been born.Luke would have grown up in the orphanage without knowing who his parents were and why he was abandoned and left at the orphanage. Perhaps he would have been adopted by someone else and grown up in an unfamiliar family. He would not have known anything about his family. "You would’ve become a successful man even if you weren’t in the Crawford fa
Luca’s body was burning as though she was having a fever. However, she knew it was not a fever. The truth was, she was feeling shy…Although he was the man she used to see every day, and they were so close that nothing could get in between them, it had been three years since she was this close to him. Even though Luca missed him, she was having a hard time adapting to the intimacy between them now.What Luca was most worried about was if Luke found out her identity and her purpose, how would she face him? How was she going to explain it…Luca carefully lifted her head and looked at Luke.Luke was still asleep. It was probably because he was drunk last night. That was why he woke up later than usual today.Luca carefully moved his hand away from her waist. She let out a sigh of relief when she finally climbed out of the bed.Fortunately, Luke did not cling to her arm as tightly as last night. Otherwise, she would have woken the man up if he was clenching her arm tightly. Luc
Aunt Neile walked out of the kitchen and cleaned the dishes on the table. She noticed that Luca did not follow Luke to work, so she asked, “Mr. Craw, don’t you have to go to work today?”“Yes. I’m going later,” replied Luca as she gave Amur a call.The phone stated that the call was unreachable, and no one was answering the phone.No one had been answering the phone for the past two days, and the phone was turned off today. Luca reckoned that Amur had left his phone on standby, and that was why his phone ran out of battery. However, Amur would normally pick up her call instead of ignoring her calls. That was why Luca needed to head over to the apartment and check on him. Amur had promised Luca before that he would leave markings in the apartment if he was out on a mission and he did not have the chance to inform her about it or if he was not allowed to.There were different markings, and each marking represented how dangerous the mission was. Aunt Neile noticed the solemn e
“Yes. They’ve finished their work in Russia. Of course, Dr. Craw is back.” Zoey took a step backward and said, “Ms. Lynn, you may go for lunch first. I have to order takeouts for Dr. Craw and the others.”Jenni was not planning to let her go. She grabbed Zoey’s hand and asked, “Haven’t you heard?”“About what?” Zoey was dumbfounded. She pulled her hand back, pretending she did not know that Jenni wanted to gossip about Luca.“I wonder if you really don’t know about it or you’re just pretending that you don’t know about it. Luca slept in the same suite as Boss when she was in Russia. Now you know why she was able to become the professor of the department and why she was able to come to T Corporation. She did it by sleeping with the boss.” There was a trace of resentment hidden in Jenni’s tone. Zoey looked at the jealous woman in front of her helplessly. Although Jenni claimed that she hated women who could get everything easily after sleeping with the boss, she was willing to off
Luke handed Luca the lunch box and said, “I have something to discuss with you. Anyway, eat your lunch first.” Luca understood what he meant. If she did not eat her lunch, there was no way they could discuss the matter.She opened the lunch box. All her favorite dishes were inside the lunch box. “Ms. Davis bought it for you,” said Luke, “You can order something else if the food doesn’t suit you.”“I’m fine with it.” Luca was not a picky eater. There was nothing she disliked in the lunch box. Hence, it did not matter.Luca shot a glance at Luke and realized he was watching her.Luca felt embarrassed and said, “Mr. Crawford, I can’t eat my lunch with you staring at me like that.” “I’m looking at you like how I do when we’re at home,” said Luke. Still, he picked up his phone and checked the documents in his email. Luca thought that things were different when they were at home. How could it be the same when they were in the office?How they were in the past and now… Previous
“Business is business.” Luke made it very clear. Luca knew what Dr. Albus would be facing, but there was nothing she could do about this. She felt sorry for what she had done to Dr. Albus, but she could not step forward and admit it.“Watson Biopharmaceuticals’ PR department will be making an announcement this afternoon," Luke added. This matter had been dragged on for too long, and it was time to end it.“Will Dr. Albus be sued?” Luca asked. “Watson will do things according to their rules and regulations,” answered Luke. He did not feel sorry about sacrificing Dr. Albus for Luca’s sake. After all, Luca was his priority in his heart. Even though she had done something wrong, he would defend her and be on her side.Luca looked down. Perhaps Dr. Albus had the intention to sell the information, but he eventually chose not to do it. Even though there was a huge sum of money in his Switzerland bank account, he probably could not withdraw it either.After all, he would be held ac
This floor was where T Corporation's housekeeping department was located. Pierre looked into the office. There were a few middle-aged women who were wearing their uniforms sitting there. The housekeeping department was the department with the least secrets in every corporation, and the people received the lowest pay. It was clear what Luke wanted to tell him by asking him to wait in the lounge of this department. Pierre could not help but mock. “Very funny. Is Luke Crawford worried that I’d steal your company’s confidential information? How dare he ask me to discuss matters with him in the lounge of the housekeeping department?”The security guards who were walking in front of him remained silent. They could not help but secretly judge him. How shameless Pierre was. Some things were better left unsaid, but this man was blurting everything out. Was he not ashamed of himself? A guard pushed the door open when they arrived at the entrance of the lounge and invited them, “Mr. Pier
