Female Novel
Chapter 1436
Jason remained smiling. “It’s nothing more than a dinner between friends.”
“And I nearly fell for it.” Nina stopped walking. “Your boss must be planning something, isn’t he?”
“How would I know what Mr. Crawford is doing?” Jason did not confirm it or deny it. He tried to shift thetopic.
From Jason’s response, Nina was even more sure that Luke was planning something. Otherwise, thescandal would not have broken out so abruptly.
After all, if he were really interested in Tia, he would have made his move a long time ago.
Nina was present during several of Tia’s consultation sessions with Bianca. Luke was there too. Thatwoman could not keep her eyes away from Luke.
If Tia said she had no feelings for Luke, Nina would not believe it.
When they were about to reach the CEO’s office, Nina asked again, “Ms. Tia must be in Mr. Crawford’soffice now, right? Are you sure that it’s okay for us to barge in?”
“Mr. Crawford said that it’s okay,” Jason said with a smile.
When Nina heard that, she took a few steps forward. The door was ajar. Nina knocked on the door andsaid to the man inside the office, “I’m here to deliver the quarterly report, Mr. Crawford.”
Luke, sitting in the office, nodded and pointed at the seat opposite him. “Come in.”
Nina walked inside. She glanced at Tia and sat down next to her.
Two chairs were placed opposite Luke’s work desk. Tia was sitting on one, and Nina was sitting on theother.
Tia could not help but feel nervous when she saw Nina walk in.
She knew that Nina was good friends with Bianca. If Nina was nosy enough to tell Bianca that she hada private dinner with Luke, Bianca might take the next flight back to confront her.
After all, she only had the chance when Bianca was not around.
“Good morning, Ms. Langdon,” she said.
“Good morning,” Nina nodded politely, then turned to look at Luke. “Mr. Crawford, is it a good time forme to present my report now?”
“You may,” Luke said. He was the behind-the-scenes boss of Brilliant Architecture. Brilliant Architecturewas not a subsidiary of T Corporation, and Nina would deliver the quarterly sales report to him everythree months.
Nina took out a document from a folder, looked at the woman sitting next to her, and reminded hertactfully, “Ms. Tia, I’m about to discuss company secrets with Mr. Crawford.”
Tia blushed when she heard that.
Her mind was occupied with Luke, so she was not paying attention to details. Now that Nina had toremind her to leave, she felt quite embarrassed.
She hurriedly stood up and said, “I’m sorry, excuse me.”
Luke and Nina did not say anything, though the latter smiled at her politely. Tia could not tell if the smilewas genuine.
Tia picked up her handbag and walked briskly toward the door. Then, she turned around, looked atLuke, and said, “Mr. Crawford, I hope that you can attend the conference.”
After that, she left the office, and Jason closed the door.
‘Conference?’ Nina became curious, so she asked, “Mr. Crawford, if you don’t mind my asking, whatconference is it?”
“It’s a psychology conference.” Luke was willing to give her the long answer this time. “In two days,there will be a psychology conference and exhibition in A City. Renowned psychologists from all overthe world will be gathered here.”
Nina nodded in understanding.
Despite moving to A City, Tia’s international reputation did not decrease. She must have been invited tothe conference.
Nina could guess why Tia wanted to invite Luke to the conference…
“I don’t think T Corporation is planning to venture into this industry, right? Why did she invite you? Don’ttell me that you’ve become interested in psychology?” Nina asked a barrage of questions.
Thanks to Percy, she was not afraid of Luke anymore.
“She said that the conference will be helpful to Bianca’s condition,” Luke said. Tia had always used thatexcuse to get closer to him, but he did not call her out on it.
“Bianca’s condition…” Nina realized that Luke did not sound as intimate whenever he referred toBianca. She continued, “Bea has lost her memories for so long. I think it’s a good thing if she canregain her memories. Right, how has Bea been recently? I haven’t seen her update her timeline.”
Luke tapped on the keyboard and reminded her, “Ms. Langdon, aren’t you here to present the quarterlyreport?”
That question reminded Nina of her objective at T Corporation. She began to present the quarterlyreport without wondering why Luke had suddenly changed the topic.
When she was done, she left Luke’s office.
She could not stop thinking about how Tia had invited Luke to the conference.
Was there really something going on between them while Bianca was away? Judging from Luke’sattitude toward Tia earlier, that did not seem to be the case…
Now that she knew about the conference, she was quite interested in attending it. Her mental state hadbeen declining lately, and she might find something at the conference or the exhibition that would helpher.
She gave a call to Sue to ask if Sue would accompany her to the conference.
Sue said that she had some work to do, so she could not accompany her.
Nina thought that it would be boring if she went alone. When she stepped into the elevator, shepressed the button for Luca’s floor.

When the elevator arrived on the twelfth floor, Nina stepped out and followed the signs to theassistant’s office.
Nina knocked on the door and spoke to Zoey, who was copying some documents. “Good morning. I’mlooking for Dr. Luca Craw.”
“Dr. Craw is in her lab now. You are…?” Zoey thought that Nina looked familiar.
“I’m her friend. I’m also from Brilliant Architecture. I’ll need an access card to go into the lab, right?”Nina said.novelbin
“I see. Why don’t you have a seat here while I go over and inform Luca about you? May I know yourname?” Zoey put the documents on the table in a stack.
“I’m Nina Langdon,” Nina said with a gentle smile.
Zoey nodded and dialed Luca’s number using the internal line.
Soon, Luca appeared in the assistant’s office wearing a lab coat. “Nina? Are you done with yourquarterly report?”
