Female Novel
Chapter 1843
"I'm just here to pick you up from work. You didn't drive to work, right? Well, I drove today. The weatheris cold, and you'll be freezing if you wish to hail a ride by the roadside. Isn't it good if I can offer you aride?” Enoch said. A lot of women wanted a man to be thoughtful and care for them. That was whyEnoch came here just to wait for her. After all, government staff got off work earlier than employees inthe private sector. He had plenty of time to come here and wait for Luca.
Luca took another step back. She would have informed the security guards without hesitation if it wouldnot alert everyone in the office. “Mr. Campbell, please understand that I'm not going to change my mindno matter what you do. So, please leave.”
Enoch's heart sank, and anger was bottled up inside him, but he did not let it out. "Luca, I like you.Can't you give me a chance? Look at me. I own a car and a house. I'm not that bad..."
Tina, who was standing beside Luca, could no longer stand it. She rolled her sleeves and scoldedEnoch, "Hey mister! Is your brain still working? Didn't you hear her say that she has already rejectedyou and she's tired of you bothering her? Why are you still waiting here? She doesn't even want to befriends with you. You'd better give up instead of waiting for her here. You're not going to gain her favorby doing this. It'll only make her hate you more. And do you think every woman you meet is a golddigger? Do you think she'll throw herself in your arms when you're only driving an Audi? I'm sorry, butit's not like Dr. Craw can't afford those cars. She's only furthering her career here for now. Things mightchange in the future, and that's why she didn't get a car. So, you'd better drive your car away and getthe hell out of here."
Enoch did not expect that Luca would despise him for doing this. He also did not expect to get scoldedby the woman beside her.
He drove here to pick Luca up to show her how capable he was. He owned a car, and it was a bettermodel than the ones driven by typical white-collared workers.
However, Enoch did not expect that they did not give a damn about his car.
The man's pride had shattered in front of these women. Enoch glanced at Luca, and the look in hiseyes had changed.
Tina also noticed the changes in his eyes. She shivered and turned to look at Luca.
Luca seemed calm.
"Mr. Campbell, please stop bothering me once you leave." Luca grabbed Tina's hand and left after shesaid that.
The two of them walked to the spot nearby where they could hail cabs.
Tina glanced in the direction of the office. Enoch had already left. She exclaimed, “The look in theman's eyes just now was so scary. It was as though he wanted to eat you up after being rejectedagain."
Luca nodded. The look in Enoch's eyes just now was indeed something else. However, he was merelya civil servant. What could he do to her?
Luca was sure that after she made it clear by rejecting him and coupled with the harsh words that Tinahad said to him, Enoch would not want to have anything to do with her anymore. She took her phoneout, thinking of deleting Enoch's contact number.
She unlocked her phone and realized Enoch had sent a few messages to her.novelbin
Luca felt annoyed receiving so many messages from Enoch last night, so she had already muted hismessages. She noticed that there were more than ten messages left unread. Each of them was in shortparagraphs.
Luca could not be bothered to read them. She blocked him and deleted his contact number.
Luca was worried Enoch would still come looking for her. She refused to give him any chances, so sheblocked Enoch's phone number and deleted it.
Tina looked at her. She also noticed that Luca's chatbox with Enoch was full of messages. Sheexclaimed, "This kind of man must think that he's so successful just because he owns a car and ahouse. He thinks that the woman he's interested in will definitely fall for him, huh? That's why he's soscary."
"You're right," Luca replied. Actually, she had no idea why Enoch would do that.
She was not very outstanding either.
"You made it very clear when you rejected him, but his ego tells him that he shouldn't be rejected. Hethought it was perhaps you hadn't seen his financial situation and that's why he pulled a stunt like this. Iwonder where he got his confidence from? His looks? He's not even as good-looking as our boss—noteven a third," Tina muttered to herself as she compared Enoch to Luke. It was a sure defeat for Enoch.
“You're comparing him to Mr. Crawford?" Luca pulled a wry face.
"Why not? They're both men, so what's wrong with comparing him to Luke? I think my aestheticstandards have increased after working long enough with Mr. Crawford. That's probably why I'm stillsingle now. I think my boss is partly responsible for that. Facing a handsome boss every day hasconstantly increased my aesthetic standards. I'm no longer interested in ordinary men." Tina grabbedLuca's arm passionately, and she could not help but talk to her about these things.
Luca shook her head, smiled, and said, "Then should Mr.Crawford take responsibility for you?"
"Oh no. Boss' level is much too high. There's no way he can be responsible for me. I'd be thankful Ifhe's able to introduce a handsome man to me." Tina shook her head immediately and cracked a joke.
"I'm afraid that you might not be interested in him," said Luca.
"You have no clue about this. Dr. Craw, think about it. Birds of a feather flock together. If Mr. Crawfordintroduces a handsome man to me, that person must be a successful business elite too. Although hemight not be as good as Mr. Crawford, he's definitely capable. This type of man might be able to catchmy attention," said Tina. Previously, Tina had been to many cocktail parties with Luke. She met manysuccessful middle-aged businessmen at the party. However, there were also many new, youngentrepreneurs.
However, Tina was just a secretary. It would be better for her to not get to know them.
Luca listened to Tina, and she could not help but agree with her. She reminded Tina when she saw anempty cab heading toward them from afar. "There's the cab."
Tina let go of Luca's arm and said, “Dr. Craw, you should go first."
“I think you should go first. Didn't you tell me you have something to do?" Luca wanted Tina to take thecab first.
“I'm not in a rush. You should take the cab first. Even though that guy has left, we can't really be sure.He might come back. It's not safe for you to wait alone here. So, just get in the car." Tina helped herhail the cab.
Luca remembered that the three children were still waiting for her at the mansion. Besides, Luke woulddefinitely work overtime today as he was currently involved in the architecture design part of the
project. Hence, if Luca went home late, the three children would be waiting at home without any familymembers with them.
Hence, Luca got into the car.
Tina helped her to close the car door and waved at her.
After Luca told the driver the address, the cab drove away.
Enoch, who had yet to leave, was hiding at the corner of the street. He went back into his car in a hurrywhen he saw Luca getting into the cab. Then, he followed the cab she was in.
He was even more unconvinced after being humiliated by two women. He was looking for a chance.
Luca rejected him? Well, then he insisted on pursuing her.
He was good enough, so there was no way he could not win a woman's heart!
He had to figure out where Luca was staying now so that he could take action.
Tina was waiting for other cabs by the roadside. An Audi drove past her. She frowned and muttered toherself, “That car... Could it be the man from just now?"
