Before Rhett could ask any further, the general manager walked in with his gaze locked on Luca.Luca met his eyes for a moment, then averted her gaze to look at the computer screen.Dr. Linwood looked at the general manager with a frown on his face.The reason why he asked Luca about phase three of clinical trials data was because of the general manager.His clinical research always did not perform well, so the general manager talked to him alone and asked him to learn from Luca’s clinical research data. Although it was a different type of drug, he thought that he could still learn something from it, so he agreed.Dr. Linwood was quite happy at first as he had one more piece of data to learn from, which would help him in his research.However, after Luca’s reminder, Dr. Linwood felt that something was not right as the data was crucial for the drug launch.The general manager sat on the chairman's seat and discussed the meeting agenda.“I gathered everyone here because the year
When she returned to the office, there was only half an hour left before it was time to get off work.Luca called for a quick meeting to make rough arrangements for the next step.Half an hour later, the meeting ended.She received a message from Tommy after returning to the office.[Ms. Luca, our teacher said we’re on holiday now. When will you be on holiday?]Luca was surprised when she saw the message as the kids’ winter break had started early this year.When she was still Bianca, she would go home as early as possible to spend time with her children even if she had work.She would occasionally bring them along with her too and let them play in the office. That way, it would be easier for the nanny at home as she would not have to do house chores while taking care of the children.Now…Luca could not take the children with her, and her leave from work was not until next week.She replied: [I have to wait until next week for my holiday. You have to listen to Aunt Neile whi
“Well, there’ll be more work and business at the end of the year,” said Luca as her heart ached when she found out that he was busy.He was busy for the sake of the Crawford family, yet she could not do anything to help.Right now, she could only take care of the children for him…Aunt Neile picked up a piece of beef and cut it while asking, “By the way, what kind of New Year’s goods did Old Master Crawford bring?”“Some decorations and ornaments,” Luca answered.“The New Year’s atmosphere is very important to Old Master Crawford. When I used to work in Crawford Manor, I would clean the house inside out and decorate it with festive lights, ornaments, and more. Old Master Crawford would also have us prepare a huge feast on the first two days of the new year. The must-have dishes were essential. Otherwise, he would be mad,” Aunt Neil said smilingly.“Really? I haven’t spent New Year’s in the country for some time,” said Luca as she did not expect to have this opportunity.“By the
Luca wanted to let the kids relax for a bit and not rush to finish their homework.However, she thought that she might kill their motivation to do homework and perhaps become lazy in the future, so she let them go upstairs and do their homework.The kids did not need her to stick with them to guide them, so she went into her study and continued her research.The antidote she was researching was almost ready, and when she was free during the new year, she would be able to analyze all the ingredients and do the rationing.Time passed quickly when she was busy. The timed alarm on her phone rang, and only then did she realize that it was half-past ten.After standing up and stretching, she quickly left the study.Luca first walked up to Luke’s bedroom to take a look. He had not come back yet.It seemed like he was still working at T Corporation.She then walked to each of the kids’ bedrooms and gently pushed the door open. After seeing that they were all in bed, she returned to her
On the other hand.In Percy’s mansion.Percy held Nina’s hand and went to the cloakroom.“What are you doing bringing me to the cloakroom in the middle of the night?” Nina looked at him smilingly with a tender look in her eyes.“To pick out clothes for you,” said Percy as he opened the closet.Nina noticed that there were many new clothes inside, so she asked in surprise, “Did you buy these for me?”“Yes, these clothes are suitable for more special occasions, so I had someone send a few pieces over. Have a look and see which one you like?” Percy said. He understood Nina’s style. If she was not working, she would wear more casual and comfortable clothing.However, those clothes were not suitable for a dinner party.“What special occasion…” Nina looked through the clothes. The clothes he filled the closet with were festive and seemed like they were for more formal occasions.“A birthday party,” said Percy as he picked a pink one and held it in front of Nina.The pink color made
Zoey put down the work at hand and asked, “How long?”“I probably won’t be back today,” Luca said. Aunt Neile did not explain to her clearly, so she did not know what was going on at home too.“Okay, I’ll apply for leave for you, don’t worry,” said Zoey as she flipped open the leave of absence form.Luca nodded and went downstairsWhen she got to the parking lot, Warren was waiting in the car.Luca opened the door herself without waiting for him to open it. The car was already warm, which seemed to show that he had not just arrived.“Ms. Craw, are you going back home?” Warren asked.“Yes, how did you know?” Luca was surprised.Warren drove away without saying anything.Luca did not continue asking either.Warren drove Luca back to the villa.She quickly walked into the house and was shocked to see the people sitting in the living room. She subconsciously looked for someone to ask what was going on.“Aunt Neile, this is…” Luca saw the makeup kit on the coffee table and could
The dress was stunning, and Luca thought she looked beautiful in it as well.The stylist always had a keen eye for things like this. While she found the dress fine, she believed that the dress did not truly accentuate Luca’s curves. Even as a woman, the stylist had to admit that Luca had a fantastic body.Seeing how Luca had yet to come out, the stylist walked over to the bathroom door and asked, “Have you finished changing yet, Ms. Luca?” “I have, but something about the dress feels weird…” Luca replied. “Weird? Is the dress too big? We can have it tailored to fit your figure.” The stylist thought that the dress was too big for Luca, considering how skinny Luca was. “It’s not that…” Luca opened the door.The stylist’s gaze brightened. “It looks so good! This dress was made for you!” “It’s too form-fitting for me,” Luca replied. Sure, the dress was fitting, but it clung to her curves too much.She had a bad history with clothes like this. The last time she wore something
After taking down the hairdo, Luca took the curler and carefully curled Rainie’s hair.Rainie’s hair was long but thin, so it did not take long before Luca was done curling. She let go of the lock of hair in her hand and reached for a hairpin to clip Rainie’s hair in place.“What do you think?” Luca asked. Rainie looked at the mirror and saw how gentle Luca was with her. She felt doted on by her mother and nodded with a smile. “It’s so pretty, Ms. Luca. You have very skilled hands.” “You’re just very pretty, Rainie,” Luca replied. “No, no, it’s thanks to you, Ms. Luca.” Rainie was overjoyed when she saw herself in the mirror. Luca looked at herself and Rainie in the mirror. She could not stop herself from putting her hand on Rainie’s shoulder gently. She did Rainie’s hair all the time when her daughter was still young. Then, she was abducted to the Island of Despair. Her children grew up while she was away. Now that she had returned, her children no longer needed her help t
