“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
That was why Pierre was unable to find someone to take up the responsibility in such a short time. Money could solve his problem, but the scapegoat would have to face imprisonment. He reckoned that it would be hard to find someone to take the blame no matter how much money he offered. “I don’t have much patience left to deal with this matter. Old Master Crawford went to the Mallory family’s manor to make a clear statement that he would bring this matter to the police station and the court. So, Mr. Pierre, you’d better hurry.” Luke urged him with a cold voice, “I can ask my men to look into it if you can’t figure it out.” Pierre’s face turned pale. It seemed like Luke was asking Pierre to get a move on the matter, but the truth was, Luke was dropping a hint about Pierre’s incompetence. “Don’t worry. I’ll find that person and give you an explanation.” Percy clenched his jaw and replied. If Pierre was allowed to do so, he would have ripped the arrogant and condescending man in fro
“There’s no need to. It’s a good place to receive guests like Pierre,” replied Luke as he walked out of the lounge.Jason rubbed his nose and took a deep breath. Why would he think that Boss sounded devilish? It seemed like there was some progress between him and Luca. That was why he was in a good mood.Jason hurried over and kept up with Luke’s pace as he left. Pierre climbed into the car after he left T Corporation. He asked the chauffeur to start the car immediately. He would be tempted to blow the crap out of this place if he remained here for another second. The chauffeur looked at how furious Pierre was and reminded him in a low voice, “But Old Master Mallory’s assistant hasn’t come out yet.”“Drive the car if I instructed you to do so. What’s the matter? Are you my chauffeur or his chauffeur?” Pierre was very unhappy with the assistant. He had asked him to endure everything, which made Luke step all over him! “You’re my boss,” replied the chauffeur. He immediately st
“There’s no way she can prove her identity. And Ivana sounds like a Russian name,” the woman reminded the man.Luca shot a glance at the man and turned to look at the woman, then she said, “You have the face of someone from A City too. Could it be that you’re using a name from A City too?”“How could that be? We all use titles.” The woman thought Luca was suspicious. Although she got the name correct, there were a few questionable points that aroused her suspicion. The main problem was that Luca did not have the tattoo of the Island of Despair on her."Fine. I shall leave since no one believes in me," said Luca.There was no way Luca could prove her identity other than showing the message on her phone. She did not even bring the weapon she got from the Island of Despair along with her as she had gone to work earlier.A knife was held to Luca’s neck in a blink of an eye. “You can’t leave.” Luca slightly cast her eyes down and saw the blade that was against her neck. Her skin wo
Luca listened to the man’s words and frowned. “Do you think I’m deliberately making things difficult for the two of you?” “You shouldn’t blame us for what happened just now. We didn’t know there were people without tattoos on the Island of Despair… Besides, there’s no way you can prove your true identity, right?” The woman hoped that Luca could have mercy on them and stop putting them on the spot.Luca crossed her arms and said in a cold voice, “I’m not a sensitive person. And I know the two of you are just being extra careful in order to survive. Everyone here is trying to stay alive. Why should I make things difficult for you? You can bring these herbs and wild grasses back to the Island of Despair if you refuse to believe what I said. Whatever Dr. Shanks says upon receiving the herbs will have nothing to do with me.” The man and the woman exchanged glances with each other. They began to believe that Luca was not deliberately putting them on the spot. It seemed that they had bee
