Remembering his promise to Talia, he stood up, whistled, and went downstairs. While he was walking,he let Jason know that Luca had given her invitation to someone else.
After Luca left Cole's office, she went back to her office and happened to meet Rhett coming out of thelaboratory with the documents.
"Are you done?" She took the stack of documents from his hands.
"All the documents are here," Rhett smiled and said. He suddenly felt the load in his hands becomelighter. "Let me do it, Dr. Craw." "It's fine. It's not heavy anyway." Luca continued walking toward heroffice with the thick stack of documents in her hands. ’You should go home." "Alright." Seeing that hiswork was done for the day, he went to clock out and leave the office.
After Luca returned to her office, she stashed an important document in her briefcase, then put the restinto her safe.
Her phone began to ring. The call was from Amur.
"Hey, Amur." While storing the documents in the safe, she answered the call after putting on an earbud.
"I'm at the supermarket now, Luca. What would you like to have for dinner? " Amur asked. He thoughtthat Luca must be exhausted after coming home from work, so he decided to get the ingredients for herfrom the supermarket.
"You should be resting at home." Luca frowned when she heard that Amur was in the supermarket. Hiswounds had just healed, and he should not be walking around.
"I'm fine." Amur looked at the vast display of fresh food, feeling a little overwhelmed.
It was his first time buying food in the supermarket, and he did not know what to do.
Luca could hearthat his surroundings were noisy. Now that he was already at the supermarket, shecould not ask him to go home.
"Get two cod fillets, a dozen eggs, and a zucchini,” she said.
"Alright." Amur committed the list of items to his memory. "I'll get them right away." "Remember to geteverything fresh, especially the fish. Make sure to check the packing date on the packaging," Lucareminded him.
"Yes." Amur’s heart warmed when he heard her nag at him.
After the call ended, Luca put the rest of the documents into the safe and locked it.
When she walked out of the office, she received a call from an unsaved number.
Even though she did not save the number, she knew that it was from Jason.
"Mr. Doyle," she said after answering the call.
"Dr. Craw, have you already gone off work?" Jason sounded happy, as though he was smiling whilespeaking.
"I'm about to leave," Luca answered, though she did not know why Jason was asking about that.
"That's great. Mr. Crawford is waiting for you in the Watson parking lot. Won't you go and look for him?"Jason said.
"Does Mr. Crawford want to see me?" Luca stopped walking.
"Yes. Mr. Crawford has found out that you're not going to the party this Sunday, and he wants to talk toyou about it," Jason said. When he found out from Cole that Luca had given her invitation to Dr. Muller,he immediately told Luke about it.
Luke happened to be nearby, so he got Jason to ask Luca if she was still in the building.
"What does Mr. Crawford want? Does it mean that I must go?" Luca frowned.
"Mr. Crawford appreciates talent, and you're one of the most talented employees in the company,"Jason answered her question indirectly.
From the answer, Luca knew that she would have to go to the party even if she did not want to.
She had no other choice but to say, "If that's the case... Mr. Doyle, please let Mr. Crawford know that Iwill attend the party." "Mr. Crawford wants to meet you for something else." Jason could hear from hertone that she was reluctant to meet Luke. He shook his head and reminded her.
There had not been a precedent where Luke did not get to meet the person he wanted to meet.
Luca was silent for several seconds. "Alright, I'll head downstairs now," she said.
"Mm. Goodbye," Jason ended the call after hearing that she was willing to meet Luke.
Still holding her phone to her ear, Luca sighed and went to the elevator.
Most of the employees had already gone off work, so she did not have to wait too long for the elevator.After stepping inside and pressing the button for the first floor, she suddenly remembered what Jason
told her.
She pressed the button for the basement.
Luca stepped out of the elevator into the basement parking lot. After walking about fifty feet, she sawLuke's car parked there.
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the man sitting in the driver's seat.
When Luke noticed her, he flashed his headlights.
Luca walked over but did not step into the car. Instead, she stood next to the side passenger seat andkept a distance from him.
She bent over slightly and looked at the man in the car. "Is there anything, Mr. Crawford?" "Get in thecar." Luke pointed at the side passenger seat with his chin.
Luca froze on the spot. She looked at her surroundings to make sure that no one was around, thensaid, "We can talk like this if there's anything, Mr. Crawford. I'd like to rush home." "I'll send you home."Luke narrowed his gaze. He found that Abel was Russian after reading his dossier. Suddenly, heremembered that Luca was Russian too.
That was why he came to look for her.
Luca did not get in the car.
"I won't talk to you if you don't get in the car," he said.
Luca stared at him. She never knew that he could say something so thuggish.
She knew very well that Luke meant what he said. If she did not get in the car, she would be standingthere, and some other employee might see her.
She had no other choice but to sit in the side passenger seat.
After Luca fastened her seatbelt, the car drove away.
In a corner of the parking lot, Cole stuck his head out of his car window and looked at the car that wasdriving away. "Isn't that Mr. Crawford's car?" He asked.
"Yes. I saw that Mr. Crawford was sitting inside." Talia tidied her hair. She was still panting.
"Did Luca get into Mr. Crawford's car?" Cole frowned. It seemed that the gossip was real.
"Everyone in the company is saying that Dr. Craw only managed to get a job in Watson because shegot into Mr. Crawford's pants," Talia said as she applied lipstick with the help of a hand mirror.
She had promised that she would spend the night with Cole, so she had to look her best at all times.
"Don't tell anyone about it." After Luke’s car went out of sight, Cole fastened his seatbelt and started hiscar.
If the word spread, he was worried that Luke might suspect him.
"Don't worry, Dr. Kidman. I won't tell anyone." Talia also knew better than to court trouble for herself.
She bore a grudge against Luca. If Luca would help her, she would not have bothered to suck up tothat gnarly man in his fifties.
