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
"Put it back, unless you'd like to sleep in my bedroom," said Luke. He brought the toiletries into the bathroom and placed them together with Luca's. Luca watched him and knew Luke was moving to her room.If Nina saw this...Luke came out of the bathroom and said, "What are you waiting for? Go get your breakfast.""Ah, okay..." Luca walked out of the bedroom and unconsciously glanced in the direction of the guest room. Nina did not walk out of the room.She quickly headed downstairs. Nina and the kids were already sitting at the dining table. Tommy saw her and Luke, who was following behind her. He teased, "Daddy and Ms. Luca are sleepy heads. You're always sleeping in."Luca's face reddened. Although Tommy did not mean that, she felt like she was being teased when she heard that.She was teased by a child.Luca cleared her throat and sat on the chair. Luke sat down beside her. He did not say anything when he heard Tommy say so. He deliberately slept in. It was because
"They've never done anything against the law?" Luke raises his brows. He refused to believe it. "Only seemingly. They're a bunch of smart people. It's not that easy to investigate everything about them in a night. Boss, give me some time. I'll figure it out," said Rain with a smile on her face. She loved digging into the things that people had done behind the scenes and exposing them all.Gale picked up the toothpick as he wanted to grab some fruits for himself, but Rainie stopped him and she said, "These are mine. Go get the fruits yourself if you want some.""You're stingy." Gale put the toothpick down and looked at Luke, "Boss, are you planning to talk to Bill now?""Don't alert them first." Luke decided. Once he looked for Bill, he would alert Matysh too, regardless if they were able to make a deal with Bill.Bill cooperated with the foreigners only because it was easier to make money that way. That also indicated that if Luke paid them money, Bill would turn his back on Maty
A wave of disgust came over him. Luke figured the woman came out of Matysh's suite.The reason why he thought so was simple. It was because this woman looked a little like Luca.Only a pervert like Matysh would do such a thing.Luke retracted his gaze. He looked up to see the floor number going down. His mood was gloomy.The scent of the woman's perfume was so strong that all he wanted was to stay away.The moment Mandy Sanders stepped into the elevator, her eyes were on him. He was handsome, dignified, and very different from other men she had met.Even Matysh, whom she spent the night with, did not have a memorable temperament.Mandy thought that the most important thing when it came to choosing a man was the amount of money they had. However, when she saw Luke, she was more willing to be this man’s sugar mommy.Only the rich would show up at Traders Hotel.After being a socialite in a foreign country for some time, Mandy knew a lot about luxury brands and noticed at a glanc
Right after Jason left the secretary room, the ladies started gossiping.Cheryl could not help herself and said, "Mr. Marcos is so nice. They just entertained them for a few days at the boss' order and he invited them for supper? I wonder where they’ll go?"Secretary A immediately continued talking, "The other party is Mr. Marcos. They must be going to a high-end restaurant. Tina is so beautiful. Maybe he wants to confess to her by using the excuse of supper. Imagine if he showed up with flowers and wine! God, she's so lucky."Cheryl glared at Secretary A. "You’re thinking too much. Who would confess to someone during supper? You’re watching too many drama series."Secretary A was annoyed. ‘Didn't she start it?’She looked at Tina and said, "It's hard to say, after all. Mr. Marcos is a busy man. It’s possible that he would invite Tina for supper to confess to her. Besides, Mr. Marcos has been here for a while. Maybe he doesn’t want to leave any regrets before he has to leave..."
"I have things to do tonight, and so does Luca," replied Luke. Aunt Neile must be tired after working for the whole day. Nina happened to be here. She could look after the kids so that Aunt Neile could get off work on time.Nina narrowed her eyes. She was willing to look after the kids, but she became reluctant once those words came out of Luke's mouth.If Luca was the one who asked her to help, Nina would be happy to do so. After all, the kids were well-behaved, and it would not be difficult to take care of them. “What are you doing tonight?” Nina asked. Luca heard Nina and looked at Luke. Why did she not know that she had something to do tonight? Luke did not look at Nina. Instead, he looked at Luca and explained, “Marcos invited us and Tina for supper tonight.”“Oh, Mr. Marcos invited us…” Luca nodded, but she had no idea about it before that. “Fine,” Nina mumbled in dissatisfaction. Tommy raised his right hand as he would during classes and asked, "Daddy, I'd love to h
Marcos and Andy, the two foreign people, were sitting at the table. Even if Tina did not wave at them, they were able to see where they were sitting with just a glance.Luke held Luca's hand and walked toward them. Then, they sat on the humble-looking red-colored plastic chairs.Tina saw the two of them were holding hands, and she also noticed that the coat draped over Luca’s shoulders was a men’s coat. Even so, she did not say anything. It was as though she did not see it. After the two of them sat down, Marcos smiled and handed the menu to Luke. “Mr. Crawford, here’s the menu.” Luke glanced at the paper clipped onto the menu. They had already placed their orders, and they had ordered many dishes. Luke did not choose anything. Instead, he lowered his head and asked Luca, “Is there anything you’d like to eat?”“These will be fine…” Luca replied and shook her head.She did not have the habit of eating supper at night, and she was not feeling hungry after having dinner.Luke put
