Female Novel
Chapter 1839
“I can tell who sent it without looking at it." Luca felt annoyed. Giving Enoch the cold shoulder was notworking at all. It seemed like she had to find a chance to make things clear with him.
"Is it the guy you went on a blind date with?" Tina understood at once. If Luca was not happy to receiveflowers from the man, that would only mean Luca was not interested in him.
Tina looked at how distressed Luca was. It looked like the man had yet to notice that Luca had nofeelings for him.
Luca nodded and turned on her laptop. "I'm not planning to date anyone, let alone get married. So, I'vebeen giving him the cold shoulder after we had lunch last time. But it seems like he's not giving up yet."
Tina stroked her chin and made a suggestion. "If he's not planning to give up, then you should just behonest and make it clear to him. If he continues to bother you, you can find someone else to put on ashow with you. I've done that before to get rid of a nuisance."
Luca knew only too well about these tricks. She thought Enoch should know better than the othersconsidering he was someone well-educated, and on top of that, he was even working in the provincialcapital.
Now, it seemed like Luca had to turn him down personally.
Tina touched the roses, and she thought Luca seemed to not be interested in these flowers. She wouldthrow them into the trash eventually. Hence, Tina exclaimed, "It's such a pity for thesechampagnecolored roses. This guy who's chasing after you must've spent quite a lot of money gettingyou such a big bouquet of champagne-colored roses. Oh, what's his occupation? How can he be sogenerous?"
Luca replied, "He's a civil servant if I'm not mistaken. Forget about it. I remember you like flowers a lot.Why don't you take the flowers and put them in the secretary's office? That's much better than havingme throw them away."
Tina smiled and said, "Sure. Dr. Craw, how do you know I like flowers?"
"I noticed that you always have fresh flowers in your office. I'm allergic to flowers, especially this type offlower. So, I'll give the bouquet to you. Thank you!" Luca found an excuse, picked up the flowers, andhanded them to Tina.
Tina gladly took them from Luca and said, "Thank you. The flowers on my desk are about to wither."
"Don't mention it. I should thank you for helping me to get out of such a big trouble," replied Luca. Herhead hurt whenever she saw the bouquet. Besides, Luke might enter her office, and he would questionher when he saw such a big bouquet.
Luca did not want to lie to him. Hence, asking Tina to take the flowers away was a good idea.
Tina took the bouquet of roses away happily. She ran into Jason who had just come out of his officewhen she was on her way back to her office.
"Tina, did you receive such a big bouquet? Is someone pursuing you?" Jason asked cheerfully. It wasnormal to have such conversations with Tina after working together with her for so many years.
Tina shook her head and replied, “How I wish someone is chasing after me too. But this bouquet isn'tfor me.”
“Then who are the flowers for? I remember that you're the only single lady in the secretary's office.”Jason teased her.
Tina rolled her eyes at Jason, looking adorable. “Mr. Doyle, all of us know you're happily married andyou have a happy family. But don't rub it in my face. Otherwise, I'm going to complain to Sue.”
“Fine. I'm sorry.” Jason surrendered immediately.
"The flowers were gifted by the guy Dr. Craw went on a blind date with, but she doesn't like them, soshe gave them to me. The champagne-colored roses are beautiful, and they smell nice too. So, I'mtaking them back to arrange them."
“They were for Dr. Craw?” Jason widened his eyes and glanced at Luke's office unconsciously.
Fortunately, Luke did not come out of his office.
Jason did not tell Luke about Luca going on a blind date last time. He had been keeping a close eye onLuca lately. She did not look like she was going on dates after getting off work. Hence, he thoughtthings had not worked out between her and her blind date, so he decided to let the matter slide.
However, Jason did not expect the man to go as far as send flowers to Luca's office to chase after her.
Although Luke still had no idea about it, he would eventually find out about it if that man continued topursue Luca. If that happened, they were all going to be in deep trouble!
"Does Dr. Craw not like the bouquet or the guy?" Jason lowered his voice and asked.
Tina glanced at Jason out of the corners of her eyes. She instantly smiled and asked, “Mr. Doyle, whendid you become so nosy?”
If Tina did not know Jason was in love with Sue, she would have suspected Jason was interested inLuca. Otherwise, why was he so interested in someone else's love life?
That was not something a man would be curious about.
As Jason listened to her making fun of him, he explained patiently, “I'm doing this for the sake of ourhappiness.”
“Huh?” Tina did not understand what he meant.
“Someone else is in love with Dr. Craw. I'm just helping him to enquire,” Jason explained patiently. Tinawas usually not slow when it came to these kinds of things. How could she not figure things out at thispoint?
After all, it was either Jason or Tina whom Luke would give orders to whenever it was somethingrelated to Luca. More than the others, Tina should be more aware of what was going on.
Tina understood what Jason meant at once and said, “Don't worry. Dr. Craw isn't interested in him andthe flowers.”
Jason let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Luca had no interest in that man. However, he could not letLuke know about this. Then, he reminded Tina again, "Keep in mind that you shouldn't tell anyone thatLuca gave the flowers to you if you're asked about it.”
"Alright, alright." Tina held the flowers and returned to the secretary's office immediately.
As Jason watched Tina leave from behind, he shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, it was Tina whoknew about this. If it were someone else, they would not have been able to keep their mouth shut.
Jason glanced at Luke's office door. It was still firmly shut. He let out a sigh, secretly hoping that Lucacould solve this problem as soon as possible. That way, everyone would be able to get away with it.
When it was noontime, Luca was getting ready to head downstairs for lunch, but she received a callfrom Queenie.
Luca had this sneaking suspicion that the call had something to do with Enoch. Even so, she answeredthe call anyway. After all, Queenie was her biological mother, and there was no way she could ignoreher phone call.
After Luca answered the call, Queenie's gentle voice came from the other end of the call. "Luca, areyou on your lunch break now?"
"Yes, Mrs. Norman. It's lunch break now," replied Luca.
"That's great. I was feeling a little bored today, so I thought of asking you out for lunch. I'm at theSmokin' Hot Steakhouse. Can you come over here?" Queenie did not make an appointment with her inadvance this time. Luca was smart enough and would probably know why she was asking her out.novelbin
Queenie was worried that Luca might turn her down, so she timed it perfectly before making the call.
Enoch, who was sitting opposite Queenie, was looking at her nervously, waiting for Luca's reply.
Before this, Enoch had told Queenie about his feelings for Luca. Queenie could not bear to turn himdown. Thus, Queenie promised to help him one more time. If Luca still rejected him, then there wasnothing she could do anymore. After all, love could not be forced.
Enoch thought he was going to succeed this time with Queenie's help. After all, he even got Luca abouquet this morning.
Women loved receiving gifts. Furthermore, it must have made her look good when she received such abig bouquet of champagne-colored roses in front of her colleagues.
