Chapter 1139 Unable To Be Calm Because Of His Abnormality
Sue shook her head helplessly when the word 'wedding' was mentioned. "I don’t think it's possible forme to get married." "Why?" Nina was puzzled as she thought that Jason and Sue had a stable andsweet relationship. It should just be a matter of time before they got married.
"Whether we can get married depends on when his ex-wife will stop bothering him. Only then will Iagree to his marriage proposal," Sue said. It was not that Jason had never proposed to her but that shekept turning him down.
In the past three years, Bailey had not given up on badgering Jason. Although her methods had toneddown, Sue still did not feel comfortable about it.
If and when Jason found a way to put a stop to his ex-wife's erratic behavior, she would get married tohim then.
When Nina heard about what was going on between them, she sighed and said, "What if Mr. Crawfordintroduces a successful entrepreneur to Bailey? Maybe she’d give up on Mr. Doyle then. That woman istruly sickening."
Sue listened to her rant. Although what Nina said was true, she shook her head and said, "Let's not talkabout this in front of kids." "It's not a big deal." Nina touched Jasmine's head.
On the other side, Luke left the mall in a car and noticed Luca, who was standing not too far away fromwhere he was. His gaze locked onto her.
Jason, who was sitting in the passenger seat, noticed it. He turned around and said to Luke, "Boss, it'sMs. Ivana." "I know." Luke's deep-set eyes stared at him. 'Why does he seem so interested in Ivana?1
Jason was uncomfortable being stared at like this. He touched his nose, turned his head around, andstopped looking at Luke.
He was not excited to see Ivana. However, he was not sure why he reacted as such. He thought itcould be because he knew that Luke was interested in her.
"Stop by the side and get down," Luke uttered.
The bodyguard in charge of driving and Jason looked at each other. The car was immediately parkednext to Luca. The two then got out of the car together.
Luca looked at the car parked next to her with a suspicious gaze. She wanted to take a taxi home butthe mall was crowded on weekends so there were not many available. That was why she was still stuckhere.
Jason got out of the car and opened the door. "Ms. Ivana, please get in the car." "Don't worry about it,I’ll wait for the taxi." Luca looked at Luke who stepped down from the back seat and turned the offerdown without a second thought.
She did not want to come into too much contact with him, lest her heart went out of control.
"Our boss has something to talk to you about," Jason said.
Luca looked at Luke. He was standing next to the driver's door with one hand on the roof, staring ather.
After the two looked at each other for three seconds, Luke said, "Get in."
His simple and direct command made Luca unable to turn him down. He looked at her with a blankexpression. His aura was so strong that she could not take it any longer.
Jason made a motion to invite Bianca in.
Luke and Jason did not seem like they intended to leave... Luca looked at the cars coming and going.People might gossip if they noticed that she and Luke were staring at each other in public.
Grudgingly, she compromised and went into the passenger seat.
Luke sat in the driver's seat.
The bodyguards and Jason closed the doors before walking to the convoy that followed behind them.They got into one of those cars.
Luca concealed her panic by buckling the seat belt. Her hands were sweaty when she was done.
She had never felt like this with other men, no matter how powerful they were. Only when she was withLuke did she feel this mess of emotions that consisted of guilt, discomfort, and indescribable love.When those feelings were mixed together, she became embarrassed and uneasy.
"Where do you live?" Luke started the engine.
Luca was taken aback. 'Is he going to send me home?' She was already in the car and had no choicebut to share her address with Luke.
Luke frowned when he heard the address. She lived in the same place where Tommy was found. Hedid not think too much of it and stepped on the accelerator. The convoy followed closely behind.
What they did not notice was that a news reporter who was leaving the mall had taken a picture ofthem.
Jason notified the other bodyguards who were driving and when they got to the next intersection, theydid not follow Luke's car and drove straight to T Corporation.
From the rear-view mirror, Luca noticed that the convoy following them had made a turn in the lastintersection, so she said, "Mr. Crawford, your bodyguards..." "They have other things to attend to,"Luke said.
Luca was speechless.
The role of a bodyguard was to protect him, the CEO, but he was skipping work to drive her home andeven told her that the bodyguards had other things to attend to.
His reasoning would have worked with a three-year-old, but not her.
Although Luca did not believe him, she did not want to think too much about why Luke was actingabnormally.
Maybe he simply valued her as a talent...
Luca tried to calm herself down by making up reasons in her head, but she felt more and moredepressed.
Along the way, the two did not talk much. When they spoke again, it was when Luke had parked the carat the gate of the community where she lived.
"Is this it?" He frowned when he looked around the neighborhood. The area was not the safest, and thesecurity facilities were incomplete.
He was puzzled about why Luca lived in such a place.
She was a senior technician who could afford to live somewhere better.
"Yes, thank you." Luca unfastened her seat belt. She noticed his frown but did not dare to think toomuch of it.
Before she got out of the car, Luke said, "The company has a dormitory. If necessary, you can apply forit." "No worries, it's pretty good here." Luca was stunned and came back to her senses a second later.
"This place is far from the office," Luke said. He did not know why he was saying so much to her. Hethought that the area was not safe for a woman like her who was staying alone.novelbin
"I'll just get up a little earlier. The company dormitory should be reserved for those who need it more."Luca smiled and thanked him as she got out of the car. She stood by the side and waved at him.
Having worked for T Corporation, she knew that the slots for the dormitory were scarce. Otherwise, shewould not have shared a place with Nina previously.
Seeing that she was being insistent, Luke felt even more puzzled. He felt as though he was wrapped incotton and unable to breathe.
In the end, he chose to not say anything and stepped on the accelerator to leave.
Luca stood there watching him leave. Her heart was unable to calm down for a long time because ofhis abnormal behavior. Eventually, she returned to the apartment carrying a bag.
As soon as she opened the door, she noticed that something was wrong and immediately drew out theshort knife placed in the shoe cabinet.
She had been trained to use short knives on the Island of Despair. Her skills were top-notch.
Luca trod lightly and slowly approached the living room. She saw a man standing there. She held theknife in her hand tightly and planned to subdue him when he was not paying attention.
