“Doesn’t Dr. Craw share that sort of relationship with Mr. Crawford? She’s busy going on dates with Mr. Crawford after work. Why would she attend gatherings with us?” said the researcher.As soon as Rhett heard that they were gossiping about this, he instantly lost interest and walked out of the laboratory.Several researchers were too engrossed in the gossip to notice Rhett’s behavior.“I’ve heard about this, but Dr. Craw seems to be quite nice. She’s not harsh on us and is a very capable person.” Another researcher could not help but speak for Luca.“You’re not wrong, but one’s love life is a different story. I personally think that this isn’t relevant. There’s no issue if both of them love each other, but…”The person speaking paused for a moment and glanced at the door before continuing, “You mustn’t forget that Mr. Crawford has a wife. They’ve been married for many years and even have three children together, so Dr. Craw is…”He did not go on, but everyone understood what he
Matysh’s brows furrowed out of impatience after listening to the driver’s explanation.It was too long-winded and troublesome. How could he get Luca fast with that kind of progress?The driver noticed that he looked upset as he did not say a word. He knew that Matysh’s anger had not calmed down, but there was nothing he could do anyway.The neighborhood in front of him was an A-list neighborhood, and a lot of effort had been put into its security system. They would get caught if they were to break in. He was not that foolish.“Mr. Matysh, let’s go back first. Usually, the woman would not come out again after returning home,” said the driver.Matysh stared at him fiercely. “If you knew that she wouldn’t come out after going in, why didn’t you stop her?”“For the sake of your life and hers. As I’ve said before, if you want to get the woman in one piece, be patient. We need a detailed plan to do so.Luca let out a sigh of relief after driving into the neighborhood.Those people wo
Tommy’s eyes were wide as he tilted his head sideways and stared at her for a long while before mumbling, “It’s cold outside, Ms. Luca. You should dress more warmly before you head to work.” “Alright.” Luca felt warm and fuzzy inside when she saw how her son was concerned about her. The corners of her lips curled into a bright smile as she ruffled his hair. The fear she had felt before this was slowly fading away now that she had been ruminating over this for about an hour. She was no longer in the state she was when she returned.Now, the most important thing to do was find out if her stalker was one of Pierre or Matysh’s men. Luke did not say anything as he observed their interactions. Lanie and Rainie had pulled him aside when he returned and told him how Luca had been acting oddly when she returned.The children and Nina were still present, which made it unsuitable for him to get a better idea of what was happening. Thus, he was in no rush to do so. Aunt Neile brought the
“Did you get a clear look at his face?” Luke asked. Luca might have managed to get a clear look at his face if the car had been close. After all, those who had undergone training at the Island of Despair were no ordinary people. Luca might be a woman, but the people on the Island of Despair would have needed to put in the effort to train Luca. “No. They were close but still distant enough that I could not get a good look. It looks like they’ve received professional training,” Luca said as she shook her head. After confirming that she was indeed being stalked, she slowed down her car to try and get a better look at who was driving the car.However, they were on high alert and had immediately slowed down their car as well when she did so. Thus, the distance between the two cars never changed. That alone was enough for Luca to confirm that they had received professional training. After all, it was extremely difficult to ensure that a certain distance remained between them. At
On the other side of the door. When Luke returned to his bedroom, he immediately sat down and called Percy. “When will you be back?”Since they were friends, he knew that Percy was not in A City at the moment. “I’ve still got a few days' worth of work. What’s up? Miss me?” Percy joked. Luke had a foul expression on his face. Ignoring the jokes, he said unfeelingly, “Come and pick your woman up the minute you’re back.” “What’s wrong? Did Nina spot you doing evil things?” “I’m going to kick Nina out if you continue spouting such nonsense,” Luke said with a gloomy expression on his face. What Percy said reminded him of the questions Nina had asked him this morning. In his opinion, Nina was an ignorant woman whom Percy was pampering. She was bent on doing good for others without assessing her capabilities. Things would only become even more difficult if she were to get involved. After all, she was nothing but a drag to them!“Your beloved woman will never let you do that ev
She sat on the dressing chair, recalling the scene when Luke had just come in.Luke sat on this chair. It was uncomfortable as the height of the table and the chair was not suitable for a man who was almost 190cm tall to sit. Luca noticed that Luke was hunching when he sat on the chair. That was the only way to sit there and work, but such a sitting position was difficult for Luke, who had gotten used to sitting up straight while he was working.It was like correcting a man’s walking and sitting posture when he often did it the wrong way. It would be difficult and painful for him. It was the same for Luke to sit on a dressing chair. It must have been tiring for him…Luca's mind was full of Luke. She could not help but shake her head, trying to stop herself from thinking about him. Luca took her skincare products out. After she put it on her face, she took a notebook and a pen out of the drawer. Then, she sat on the bed with the blanket covering her legs. She placed a pillow
After Luca finished calculating the data and equation, she realized that Luke did not affect her when he was by her side. Instead, his presence made her even more focused on what she was doing. The silhouette that kept on appearing in her mind and affecting her progress never showed up again with Luke by her side. Luca closed her notebook.Luke noticed that and asked, “Done?”“Yeah. I’ve concluded the experimental data for this stage.” Luca placed the notebook on the bedside table. After that, she began to feel overwhelmed again. Luke closed his book, placed it on the bedside table, and said, “Get some rest.” “Mr. Crawford…” Luca was afraid that Luke was dropping her a hint. She quickly said, “It’s the time of the month…”“Just sleep.” Luke’s eyes darkened. He was not planning on verifying whether she was telling the truth or not.He only wanted to cuddle with her in bed.He could do nothing, but he had to cuddle with her. That way, he could have a good night’s sleep.
Only some of the money could be refunded?Matysh was not thinking about getting back some of the money. He was not concerned about the money, but he wanted to get Luca. He wanted them to be efficient.After all, he had no patience.Bill asked him again when Matysh did not give him a reply, “Mr. Matysh, what do you think? If you’re fine with it, I’m going to write a check.”"I'm not short of money. I want her, and I need you to act faster. Money isn't a problem. If you can make me happy, I'll pay more," Matysh said arrogantly. He was a racist, and he thought that people with different color skin tones did not deserve to make friends with him. That was why he had no friends or connections here.He had to pay to get Luca. It was difficult for him to find another crime organization like Bill's here.If he looked for others now, he would still need to find a translator for him. That would mean letting another person know about his plans. There was a risk that his plans would be expo
