Female Novel
Chapter 1522
Tina could see that the two men were here to hike up Mount Jadeite. She shot a glance at Luca. Lucadid not enjoy crowded places, but two more people did not crowd up the place at all…
“Why don’t we go together?” Tina asked.
Luca did not say anything. She knew that Luke would definitely be joining them the moment she sawhim.
Even if Tina did not invite them, they would be hiking up the same trail anyway. It did not really matter ifTina invited them.
That was why Luca kept quiet.
“Mr. Crawford? What do you think?” Jason turned his head to look at Luke.
They did not mean to follow Luca. Luke was tired of working during vacation time, so he suggestedthey hike up Mount Jadeite. Naturally, as his assistant, Jason had to go too.
Fortunately, Jason enjoyed hiking.
“We’ll go together,” Luke said. He went to the stall to buy a map and two trekking poles, then handed atrekking pole to Jason.
“Thank you, Mr. Crawford,” Jason said as he took it.
Luca spread the map open and studied it while the two men talked. There was nothing much to studyanyway; it was only one way up.
“Let’s go! Let’s go!” Tina said cheerfully. She was not nervous even though her boss was there.
She knew Luke’s personality very well after working for him for so long. He might be serious when itcame to working, but he was quite amiable otherwise, despite maintaining a cold demeanor.
Luca folded the map, stuffed it in the pocket of her tracksuit, and walked up the mountain with Tina.
The scenery on the mountain was beautiful. The four people make frequent stops along the trail toadmire the view. No one complained that they were tired, nor did anyone make any dishearteningremarks. It was quite a relaxing trip.
Luca said nothing as she watched Tina take photos with a miniature camera.
Many people would record everything they saw during their journeys. She used to be like that too.
Whenever she traveled somewhere with Luke, she would look for someone to take a couple of photosof them together. Once home, she would print those photos and label them with the date and place.She imagined that when she was older, she would be able to share those memories with him and theirchildren.
After all that had happened to her, Luca did not want to take any more photos.
Tina took several photos of the scenery and asked Luca, “Dr. Craw, can you help me take a photo?”
Luca nodded, took her camera, and stood up from her resting spot. The two men were resting, andTina was the only one going around taking photos.
Rest stations were available at regular intervals along the trail. They were quite well-maintained.
After Tina struck a pose, Luca took several continuous shots of her.
Happily, Tina took the camera from Luca and browsed through the photos Luca had taken of her. “It’sso nice to be hiking with someone else. That saves me the trouble of bringing a tripod or a selfie stick.
These photos are amazing, Dr. Craw!”
Luca smiled. “I didn’t put too much effort into it.”
“The angle, lighting, and timing are perfect! And you said you didn’t put much effort into them? I don’teven need to edit these photos. You’re amazing, Dr. Craw. Why don’t I take some photos of you? I’llsend you the photos after we get back,” Tina said.
Luca shook her head. “It’s fine. I don’t have a habit of taking photos.”
“What do you mean? You don’t need a habit to take photos. Alright, you go and stand over there. It’s anice view. My photography skills might not be as good as yours, but you’re beautiful anyway so itdoesn’t really matter.” Tina was quite excited to take Luca’s photos.
Luca glanced at Luke and Jason. They were both looking at her.
“It’s fine. I don’t really want to.” She was even more reluctant to have her photos taken when the twomen were looking at her.
“Come on, Dr. Craw.” Tina saw that Luca continued to sit there. She went over and took her hand.
Luca had to stand up, and Tina brought her to the gazebo. She was standing right in front of a cliff, sothe view was great.
Tina said, “Alright, stand there and don’t move. If you’re not used to looking at the camera, you canlook somewhere else, as long as you don’t move.”
With no other choice, Luca turned her head to look to the side.
She felt awkward looking at the camera because Luke was sitting behind the camera.
She stood there while Tina took a few photos in a row before letting her go.novelbin
“What do you think, Dr. Craw? Not bad, right? It would be better if I brought my DSLR camera along,but it’s too troublesome to bring it here,” Tina said.
Luca thought that Tina’s photos were not bad, but she could see her awkwardness in those photos.
It was not that she did not like her photos taken, but she felt awkward because Luke was staring at her.Even though she was looking elsewhere, she could still feel his gaze on her body.
“Not bad,” Luca said.
Tina thought that Luca’s praise was not enough. She handed her camera to Luke and said, “Take alook, Mr. Crawford. My photography skills aren’t any worse than Dr. Craw’s, right?”
Luke looked at the camera. In the photo, Luca was standing there awkwardly, but the scene was a finesight.
He could feel his heart skip a beat.
He only felt like that when he looked at Bianca’s photos. However, looking at Luca’s photos gave himthe same sensation.
Perhaps things had begun to change after what happened yesterday…
He remembered that he would often dream of Bianca whenever he slept. In the later part of the dream,Bianca’s face would morph into Luca’s. He did not know why he felt that way.
He stood up and said, “Has everyone rested enough? Let’s continue.”
Tina wondered if she had been too forward or if Luke was not as amiable as she thought.
She put the camera away and continued walking along the trail with Luca.
At the maple forest, they took some more photos. Luca was happy to take Tina’s photos, but when Tinaoffered to take Luca’s photos, Luca would come up with excuses to decline.
However, Tina managed to convince her to take some photos.
They continued hiking up the mountain. Eventually, they reached a crossroads.
Tina studied the map and said, “Both paths lead to the summit, but the scenery is different. Which oneshould we go to?”
Luke said nothing. Jason smiled and said, “We’ll leave the decision to the ladies.”
“I want to go here, but the other path…” Tina thought for a while and had an idea.
