Female Novel
Chapter 2197
Luca knew that Matysh would not be easy to deal with.
He had a strong family backing him. Even if Marcos could help, Matysh did not take Marcos seriously.
While Luca reassured Tina, she got a headache thinking about Matysh.
She could not even imagine what she would have to face if Matysh was working with Abel.
Maybe Abel would send her off to Matysh...
However, she was confident that Matysh would not know her connection to the Island of Despair. Evenso, anything was possible...
Luca lowered her gaze. When she thought of that, she made up her mind to quickly research theantidote and get rid of Abel's control.
In the suite.
Andy walked up to Marcos and respectfully said, "Boss, Mr. Matysh seems to have plans to visit A City.He has already booked a flight ticket for three days later."
"Three days?" Marcos frowned. He knew that Matysh must have taken action recently, so he camehere one step ahead of him.
However, he did not expect that Matysh would act so quickly. ‘Did he make a move because he knowsthat I'm here?'
He was unsure of anything
Marcos ordered, "Call Luke."
"Yes.” Andy called Luke.
After the call was connected, Marcos said, "Mr. Crawford, it's Marcos."
"Mr. Marcos, have you arrived at A City?" Luke glanced at the time. Based on the information providedby the airline, Marcos should have been picked up by Luca and the others by now.
"I've arrived, and I'm at the hotel. I have something to tell you," Marcos said.
"Go for it." Luke raised his hand, signaling for the meeting to be paused.
The surrounding sounds stopped in an instant.
"My uncle, Matysh, booked a flight to A City. He's arriving in three days," Marcos said. He did not needto say much. After all, Luke was a smart man.
Luke's mood sank. Marcos' words rang a warning bell.
After three days, he had to return to Luca's side to ensure her safety so she would not be plottedagainst by Matysh.
"Thank you, Mr. Marcos. I understand," Luke said.
"Mr. Crawford, you're indeed a smart person. Also, I'm satisfied with your subordinates’ arrangement. Iwon't disturb you any further. All the best for your current project." Marcos finished speaking and hungup the phone.
Andy took his phone and could not help but ask, "Boss, you said it so obscurely. Would heunderstand?"
"Luke is a smart man. He cares about Luca, so everyone who shows an interest in Luca is his enemy.He's an excellent hunter. How could he not know who the enemy is? Although I was being vague, Luke
is not stupid. He'll be back in three days," Marcos looked out the window and said firmly.
Andy nodded and said nothing.
"You don't believe me?" Marcos asked.
"Boss, I trust your intuition, but I heard that the acquisition of Hilton Corporation by T Corporationdoesn't seem to be going well, so Mr. Crawford personally presided over it. He's busy with theacquisition, so how could he have time to protect his beloved woman?" Andy asked. His boss made itseem like Luke would personally come back to protect Luca.
However, he wondered if a man like Luke, whose career was far more important than his relationship,would leave his career behind to protect his lover.
Andy looked at Marcos' tall back. Anyway, his boss was also someone with an outstanding career. Hewould never delay his career for the sake of love.
"I know what you're thinking about. You think that Luke won't delay his career for the sake of love. He'sa strong man, one who can manage both love and career. He'll definitely finish his work there andreturn home to Luca in three days," Marcos affirmed.
He was also a strong man. He knew that it was tough to balance love and career, so he was neverinterested in romantic relationships.
"Can a multinational company be acquired in three days?" Andy asked. When there was no one, hisconversation with Marcos was a lot more casual. He was not as cautious and respectful as when hewas in front of outsiders.
"Want to bet?" Marcos looked at his assistant, who had been with him since he graduated fromuniversity. He knew exactly what Andy was thinking.
Andy shook his head quickly and responded, "Boss, I can't afford to gamble with you. I still need tosave money to get myself a wife."
"People in A City like to eat supper. There are a wide variety of late-night snacks, and the price is notexpensive. Whoever loses will buy late-night supper," Marcos said.
Andy thought to himself. His boss was amazing, but it was unlikely for Luke to finish sorting things outand come back in three days.
It would not cost him a lot even if he lost, so he nodded and said, "Okay, deal."
Marcos smiled and said, "Get ready to bring out your wallet."
"Boss, isn't it you who'll have to do so?" Andy's eyes widened.
"If Luke comes back from the acquisition, I'll go for supper with them. Andy, you can't only invite meand not them, right?" Marcos patted him on the shoulder, walked to the sofa, and sat down.
Andy turned around dumbly and looked at Marcos with a bitter expression. He did not expect that thebet covered more than one person.
"Boss, can I pull out from the bet?"
"No." Marcos shook his head. "If you shake on a bet, you have to go through with it. Besides, don't youthink that Luke won't be able to handle the acquisition in three days?"novelbin
Andy nodded as he thought so.
"So if Luke gives up the project and comes back, then you win. However, if he succeeds in theacquisition, then I win, right?" Marcos looked at Andy's sour expression and took a step back.
Andy was energized. "Boss, that's fine."
The doorbell of the suite rang as soon as he finished speaking. Marcos said, "It should be someonebringing us breakfast."
"Boss, do you want me to shoo them? You had something to eat on the plane. Do you still want food?"Andy knew him well, Marcos did not eat much for breakfast.
"I'll have some since they've brought it. The breakfast here is interesting. Let's not put Tina's efforts towaste,” Marcos said as he walked toward the dining table.
Their suite was a family-style suite with everything that they would need. It was a good environmentand a spacious place.
Andy went to open the door when he heard Marcos' orders. Two staff members were standing outsidethe door with two dining carts.
"Hello, sir, we're the service staff of the hotel. You ordered a meal on the app and we have your mealhere. Can we bring the meal in?" one of the staff members asked in fluent English.
"Okay, go ahead," Andy said.
The waiter pushed the dining cart in and placed the meal on the dining table. "Enjoy your meal. If youneed anything, just press number one on the intercom."
