After she hung up the phone, Nina walked into Luca's study, leaned against the frame, and watched Luca conduct experiments with tubes of reagents."Luca, you’re still conducting experiments?" She admired Luca's calmness."The matter is settled, and it's not yet time for bed now. I want to attend to work when I still have the energy," Luca spoke but did not stop working.Nina stood there and knew that she would not be much of a help. After all, she did not understand what Luca was doing. "I won't disturb you. I’ll go downstairs and spend time with the kids.""Mm, by the way, when it’s 9:30 p.m., have them turn off the TV and remind them to get ready for bed," Luca said. She was happy to hand over the task seeing that Nina was willing to take care of the kids."Don't worry, I’ll make you proud." Nina made an OK gesture, walked out of the room, and closed the door on her way out.Luca was relieved that Nina was watching the kids and continued to focus on her experiment.She wanted
Lliam drove off as soon as Luca got into the car.Luke had called Tina, so she knew what she had to do. As such, when the car arrived, she was already waiting by the side of the road.Lliam got out of the car and looked at Tina with a smile on his face. "Ms. Tina, there was some traffic on the road. Sorry that I’m a little late.""It's okay, let's go to the airport," Tina said. After Lliam opened the car door, she got into the car and smiled at Luca. "Dr. Craw, I’m glad we have a chance to work together again.""Yeah." Luca smiled and waited for Lliam to drive off before she said, "Tina, I'm not familiar with entertaining business partners. I'll have to trouble you to help me out later...""Dr. Craw, you don't have to be so nervous. Although the other party is like a god to T Corporation, they’re just ordinary people. Mr. Crawford said that Mr. Marcos isn’t here specifically for a site visit. He’s on vacation. He reached out to Mr. Crawford, but he didn’t expect that Mr. Crawford
"If there's anything on your mind that you can't figure out, you can talk to him directly," Luca added. She could not make decisions for Amur.She believed it was better to have Tina face Amur directly than to involve her, the middleman.Tina understood what she meant and nodded.The atmosphere in the car was quiet, and Luca noticed that Tina seemed a little sad. She did not say anything else.After they arrived at the airport, Tina picked up her phone to check the flight that Marcos was on. He was about to land in about half an hour.The three rushed to the airport in a hurry. After they asked the staff, they waited at the designated exit point.The weather in A City was still a little cold. Tina could not help but shiver.Luca said, "Tina, why don't you go back to the car to warm yourself up? You can come back later.""There might be some delays. If Mr. Marcos comes out and I’m in the car, it won’t look good for the company." Tina shook her head. She was confused at how calm
Marcos had no problem with her arrangement. He nodded and said, "Yes."Tina nodded and confirmed the itinerary with Lliam.Luca opened the mini bar in the car and asked Marcos, "Mr. Marcos, would you like something to drink?""No, thank you." Marcos shook his head and looked at her with his deep-set eyes.Luca felt Marcos' gaze, but she did not feel uncomfortable when he looked at her. She did not react to it and instead asked the assistant who was with him, "Andy, would you like something to drink?""No, thank you for your hospitality," Andy said politely.Luca closed the door of the mini bar.Marcos asked, "Ms. Craw, do you mind if I ask a question?""Go for it." Luca sat upright, looked at Marcos, and nodded politely. She knew that Marcos would not ask hard questions, so she felt casual about it. "Has everything been alright after you returned to A City?" Marcos' slender legs were crossed. He was taller than the average person. The spacious car space was slightly cramped w
Luca knew that Matysh would not be easy to deal with.He had a strong family backing him. Even if Marcos could help, Matysh did not take Marcos seriously.While Luca reassured Tina, she got a headache thinking about Matysh.She could not even imagine what she would have to face if Matysh was working with Abel.Maybe Abel would send her off to Matysh…However, she was confident that Matysh would not know her connection to the Island of Despair. Even so, anything was possible...Luca lowered her gaze. When she thought of that, she made up her mind to quickly research the antidote and get rid of Abel's control.In the suite.Andy walked up to Marcos and respectfully said, "Boss, Mr. Matysh seems to have plans to visit A City. He has already booked a flight ticket for three days later.""Three days?" Marcos frowned. He knew that Matysh must have taken action recently, so he came here one step ahead of him.However, he did not expect that Matysh would act so quickly. ‘Did he make
Andy took a few banknotes out of his pocket and handed them to them as their tips. He did not exchange currency when he came here. Hence, he could only give them Russian rubles. However, the hotel was an international hotel. The hotel waiter would not be surprised to see different kinds of currency. He left the suite after receiving the tips. Marcos looked at the dishes served on the table. They were delicate and sumptuous. It was as expected from the local delicacies. He said, “Looks good.”Andy nodded and replied, “The food is delicate, indeed. But if you’d like to eat more, these wouldn’t be enough.”Andy took the food poison detection kit out of the bag he brought along with him here.The kit was used to detect the safety of the food. It was because of Marcos’ special identity. As his assistant, Andy would prepare it just in case someone was trying to harm Marcos. Marcos patiently waited for Andy to finish testing the food. After making sure the food was safe to consume, M
After Luca and Tina accompanied Marcos to another place, Luca asked, “Mr. Marcos, may I ask you a question?”“Yes. Go ahead and ask,” replied Marcos.“You’ve been asking Andy to leave you alone every time you arrive at a certain place. Are you looking for something?” Luca asked. Marcos was not planning to tell Luca about his family affairs. After all, if the elders in his family found out that his mother might be alive, his mother would probably be in danger. "I'm looking for my memories. It's a pity that these places have changed so much. They’re so much different from how they used to be," Marcos deliberately spoke in a regretful tone. Tina nodded while holding a cup of warm coffee in her hands. “Mr. Marcos, the places we’ve been to for the past two days are different from how they used to be. And I heard the older generation say that many places were reconstructed 20 years ago. In fact, they’ve been reconstructed many times so far. The old buildings were demolished, just li
Marcos looked at the yard in front of him. He had no idea if this was the farmhouse restaurant that her mother had told him about before.“I’m looking forward to it after all those things you’ve told me,” said Marcos.“Let’s go in. I’ve reserved a private room. It won’t be too noisy,” replied Tina. She pushed the door open and invited them.Marcos said gentlemanly, “Ladies first.” Luca did not delay any longer and stepped into the restaurant first. Andy was holding the door, signaling Tina to enter the restaurant first. Tina knew they were gentlemen, so she did not say a word and followed behind Luca. After the two ladies entered the restaurant, Marcos stepped into the restaurant.Tina was close with the owner of the restaurant here. That was why she was able to reserve a private room at the last minute. The female owner came up and led the way when she saw Tina. She brought the four of them to the private room. The private room was nicely decorated. There were barely any gre
