Female Novel
Chapter 1579
Tina looked at Luca's face that had turned red because of the alcohol, but her skin seemed pallid at thesame time. Tina asked in concern, “Dr. Craw, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Luca's stomach was full of alcohol now. Although she did not feel like drinking the glass ofhoney water, she knew it would be beneficial for her.
She furrowed her brows as she finished the glass of honey water.
Tina took the glass from Luca after seeing her finish the honey water. Tina said, "Go home and rest ifyou're not feeling well. I can help you ask for leave."
"No thanks. I'll be fine after taking a rest." Luca knew she had to attend another business dinnertonight.
It was because the matters that Luke and those Russians were about to discuss tonight would be thehighlight.
Tina looked at how determined she was. She nodded and excused herself so that she would not bedisturbing Luca's rest any longer.
Luca lay back down on the couch after Tina left. She glanced at the surveillance camera and wonderedif Luke was watching her.
Probably not...
He could not be that bored.
While Luca was thinking about it, she grabbed the coat that was on the floor and covered herself. Shehad to get some rest now in preparation for tonight.
She rested until four in the afternoon. The effects of the alcohol had gone, and she felt much better.She sat up on the couch and glanced at the time. She still had time.
Her clothes reeked of alcohol. It could not be covered up even after she sprayed some perfume onherself. It would be inappropriate for her to follow Luke to the business dinner tonight like this.
Luca thought about it for a moment. Then, she took her phone and purse before leaving the office.
She hailed a ride and came to a shopping mall nearby. She found a shop that was selling office attire.The shop assistant welcomed her passionately. She took a set of conservative office attire and told herwhat size she was wearing when she was about to recommend some clothes to her.
The shop assistant nodded her head and found the right size for her immediately.
Luca headed to the fitting room and got changed. The clothes suited her and were not exposing. Shepaid for everything and left with the clothes on her.
Luke called her when she was on her way back to the office.
“Where are you?" Luke asked.
“Mr. Crawford, my clothes had a strong smell of alcohol on them. I came out to get some new clothes,and I'm on my way back now," said Luca. She glanced at the clothes in the bag.
She never thought that she would have to attend a business dinner one day. Otherwise, she wouldhave prepared another set of clothes in her office.
Luke asked after listening to her, “Where are you now? Let me pick you up."
Luca replied instantly when she heard he was coming to get her. “It's alright. I'm almost there."
“Come to the parking lot when you reach the office. I'll be waiting for you there." Luke hung up thephone after ordering her to do so.
Luca put down the phone after she heard the busy tone on the other line. She let out a sigh. Did he notfeel even the slightest tenderness for her?
It seemed like he took pity on her from those heart-warming gestures of his. However, he soundedparticularly cold to her when he talked to her.
Luca got out of the car after she reached T Corporation. She went to the basement parking and foundLuke's car.
Luke was sitting in the back seat of the car. Jason was in the car too, and he was sitting in thepassenger seat. There was a young man in the driver's seat. Luca thought he might be the designateddriver they hired.
“Dr. Craw, get in the car. They're waiting for us at the hotel." Jason felt much better after resting in theafternoon. He smiled and greeted Luca.
Luca looked in the car. There was only one seat left in the car, and it was beside Luke.
She bit the bullet and got into the car.
Luke smelled something sweet and nice, so he asked, “Are you wearing perfume?"
“Yes. The smell of alcohol is on my hair too, so I sprayed some." Luca unconsciously ran her fingersthrough her hair. She did not have enough time to wash her hair and get back here.
She bought a perfume with a lemon and tangerine scent earlier and sprayed some on her hair.
Luke smelled the scent on her. It was not strong, but it was nice to smell and it covered up the alcoholsmell perfectly.
He did not like women who wore perfume.
However, he was not disgusted by the scent that Luca was wearing. He even thought that it was apleasant smell...
Something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong.
Luke noticed his unusual thoughts and turned around to look out the window. Then, he ordered. “Let'sgo."
“Yes, Sir." The designated driver started the car engine once he heard him.
Luca let out a sigh after noticing the slight change in Luke. She opened her bag and took a small bottleout. Then, she handed it to Luke.
“Mr. Crawford, do you want some?" she asked.
Luke turned his head and asked, “What's this?"
"It's a hangover cure," said Luca. She made it herself. The effects were better than the ones on themarket. Although the Russians claimed that they had drunk too much at noon, they were still consciousand thinking clearly.
Luke would have to get them drunk and stay clear-headed to talk business with them.
The hangover cure would probably help him. Although it could not dissipate all the alcohol in the body,it was still effective.
She had a hunch that they would be drinking much more tonight compared to when they drank togetherat noon.
Luke asked, "How many pills should I take?"
"One is enough," replied Luca.
Jason, who was sitting in the passenger seat, heard her and turned around. He asked, "Dr. Craw, youhad such goods, so why didn't you take this out just now?"
"I didn't know we'd drink that much at noon. And you have to take this hangover cure half an hourbefore drinking for it to work," Luca explained helplessly. She was trying to tell him that it would notwork even if she took the hangover cure out in the middle of the drinking session earlier.
"Can I have one?" Jason asked. He did not want to get drunk again.
"Of course." Luca handed the medicine bottle to Jason after she watched Luke take a pill out andswallow it without drinking any water.
Jason took one out and swallowed it without drinking any water too.
Luca took the bottle back and took a pill. She tried to swallow it down like how they did. However, shedid not expect the pill to get stuck in her throat.
"Cough, cough, cough..." She started coughing. She tried hard to swallow it.
Luke handed her a bottle of drinking water.
Luca took it, opened the bottle cap, and mindlessly drank a mouthful of water. Then, she was able toswallow the pill that was stuck in her throat.
She took a deep breath after she swallowed it. She looked at the water in the bottle. She realized shehad finished half of the bottle.
Did she drink that much just now.novelbin
That could only mean Luke had drunk from this bottle before.
"Mr. Crawford, I'm sorry, I.." Luca was wondering how she should explain that she did not mean toshare a drink with him.
"It's alright." Luke had no idea why she was apologizing to him all of a sudden.
It was merely the same bottle of water.
Did they not share a bottle of water when they were stuck on the mountain?
"Thank you.." Luca thanked him stiffly when she realized that it did not matter to him.
