Chapter 1410
Rhett replied, “I plan to pick a random restaurant and go for a set meal. Do you have anyrecommendations?”
“I know a restaurant nearby that serves great food. Shall we?” Zoey invited him for lunch.
Rhett nodded and agreed to her invitation.
The two arrived at a nearby restaurant. While eating, Zoey kept asking Rhett about Luca, covering herhobbies and everything else in between.
Rhett did not think too much of it. He thought that she was just curious about the preferences of hisboss to ease her work in the future, so he told her everything he knew.
Zoey made mental notes.
On the other side, Luca went back to her office and sat on the chair. She was able to remain calm evenwhen she knew that there was a camera behind her. Sleepiness struck her. She stretched and sat onthe sofa.
She picked up the phone, set an alarm so that she would not oversleep, and then lay down with herhead facing the camera.
Luca knew that Luke installed the security camera to see if she acted abnormally and had no otherintentions.
As such, she felt comfortable resting in her office.
After Luca lay down, she put on her lab gown because she was worried about catching a cold.
Luke sat in the office watching her actions, his gaze gradually darkening.
Someone knocked on his door so he minimized the window. He said, “Come in.”
When he heard Luke’s voice, Jason walked in with a take-out box. “Mr. Crawford, your lunch is here.”
“Mm.” Luke glanced at the time. It was 12:15 and lunchtime had just started.
Luca was skipping lunch and sleeping in her office instead. ‘Is she tired?’ Luke’s index finger tapped hisdesk as he thought about it.
Jason put Luke’s lunch on the side. He noticed his actions and knew that his boss was deep in thought.He did not dare to make any noises and turned around to leave.
Luke clicked on the window when the door was closed.
Luca lay flat on the sofa as though she was asleep. She did not move.novelbin
Luke suddenly thought of Bianca. Bianca did not like to lie on her back. She always lay on her side,which was completely different from what Luca was doing.
He was taken back when he thought of that. He did not understand why he thought about Bianca whenhe looked at Luca…
He had dreamed of Bianca more than once, and her face would gradually turn into Luca’s.
Luke was a little stunned. He minimized the window and picked up the take-out box on the side. Afterhe opened it, the aroma of the food wafted in the air. He looked at the mouth-watering food butunconsciously thought of the woman who had fallen asleep in her office.
‘I assume she didn’t have anything to eat before she fell asleep…’
Luke put the take-out box aside and was just about to click on the surveillance footage again whenthere was another knock on the door.
He said calmly, “Come in.”
Jason opened the door and walked in. He saw that Luke had not eaten yet so he said, “Boss, the NewYork branch has something important to ask you and requested for a meeting. Are you free now?”
“Yes, go for it.” Luke looked at his computer screen. The mouse happened to hover over the windowbut it was still minimized.
He held the mouse, moved to the video call application, and clicked on it. He entered the accountdetails and password to log in to prepare for the international conference.
Upon seeing this, Jason closed the door and returned to his office to prepare the agenda for themeeting.
The agenda for the meeting was slightly boring. The supposed important meeting was just some trivialmatters of Party A. The executives had a disagreement, so they were trying to share their ideas withLuke to get his buy-in.

Luke listened to them go on and on about their proposal. The two sides opposed each other’s plansand almost got into a quarrel.
The proposal involved their interests, so they were particularly on edge.
Jason listened to their constant arguing and felt like he was suffocating. He wondered if he should calmthem down but he was just an assistant, so he sent a private message to Luke to ask for his opinion.
Luke replied with two words. [No need.]
When Jason received the text, he stopped talking. Since his boss did not say anything, it was not hisplace to chime in. Hence, he waited for the result of their ‘discussion’.
Luke listened to their conversation while silently flipping through and reviewing some documents.
It was not until two hours later that they realized it was midnight in New York but the executives had yetcome to a conclusion.
Jason looked at Luke again. Luke was sitting there, looking through the file.
The president of the branch office realized that they had been arguing for two hours and wiped awayhis sweat. He was used to making decisions on this kind of thing but because he did not handle thesituation well the last time, both sides refused to accept his proposed solution. As such, they askedLuke to make the decision.
“Boss.” Yorkson, the president of the branch, called out to Luke cautiously, and the two parties stoppedarguing.
Luke looked up at the camera, still not making a sound.
“Boss, we have finished the presentation. Do you have any thoughts?” Yorkson asked. It was just twoproposals but they lost track of time and went on for more than two hours. It was a waste of time.
Luke closed the file and looked at each of their expressions through the camera.
The group of self-proclaimed elite New Yorkers dared not breathe too loud. They were all waiting forhim to make a decision.
Luke said, “Send the first proposal to Party A.”
With a few words, he already decided which proposal to use.
Jason sighed at the computer. ‘He made that decision long ago, didn’t he? He waited for these peopleto finish arguing before he said that. I’m sure he has something else to say.’
When Yorkson heard this, he nodded quickly and said, “Okay, Boss. We’ll send the first proposal toParty A later.”
Luke continued talking, “You spent two hours arguing over two proposals. If Party A is waiting for adecision, how would you do it?”
The executives present were speechless.
Yorkson hoped that they would respond to Luke with the same intensity as when they were fighting justnow but all of them kept quiet as though they were mute. He clenched his fists, furious.
Luke looked at them through the computer screen with a cold expression. Even though they were faraway from Luke, they still felt an invisible pressure.
“In the future, the final decision is in the hands of Yorkson. Yorkson, if you think you can’t make adecision, you can hand in your resignation. Many people can hold your position.”
Yorkson nodded quickly and promised, “Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll make the right decisions for thecompany.”
Luke exited the call. Yorkson was capable but since the company’s system was hacked, he was slightlytraumatized and was extra cautious with every step.
