Chapter 2319
Luke saved the photos and said in a calm voice, “You talked too much today."
“When do I not?" Louis said, "I've always been chattering away while following behind you since I wasyoung. You should've gotten used to it, right?"
Luke was already Louis' brother when he was born.
Although Susan had always told Louis that Luke was his enemy, it did not affect his admiration forLuke.
Louis loved following behind Luke since he was young. He was naughty and playful too. Thus, he didnot learn much from Luke and his strengths.
"That's true. You're as talkative as an old woman. Oh, give me the photographer's contact details. I'dlike to print some photos too," answered Luke.
"Nonsense. Don't you ruin my tall and masculine image," Louis laughed jokingly. Then, he gave thephotographer's contact number to Luke. Louis glanced at the time, then he rose to his feet and said,"Brother, I've sent you his contact number. I shouldn't be bothering you anymore. I'm leaving now."
"Stay for a while more. Let's have lunch later," Luke invited him.
"No, thanks. I have a meeting to attend at 11. I'll be just in time if I go back and prepare for it now,"replied Louis. Although the crisis had been overcome at the moment, that incident also showed that hiscompany was not strong enough to handle the crisis.
Louis had to come up with a plan and prepare himself so that he would not be at his wit's end when hemet such clients in the future.
Luke did not make him stay when he sensed that Louis was preoccupied with his work.
After Louis left, Luke picked up his phone and stared at the photos. A warm smile appeared on his coldand expressionless face.
Luke looked at the photos of Luca and himself. A thought came into his mind, 'We're made for eachother.'
Luca looked stunning in that dress that night.
One of the photos was taken from behind them.
Luca's face could not be seen, but he could see that she was just like before just by looking at hersilhouette.
She was still Bianca.
Luke missed the old days, but at the same time, he knew it was useless to reminisce.
He had to investigate the background of the Island of Despair as soon as possible.
However, it was easier said than done.
Back then, it only took him a while to wipe out the Island of Despair because he had been taken there.He kept his mind clear when they tried to brainwash him, and he was able to figure things out quickly.
Now, it seemed that other than Luca and the people from the Island of Despair, no one else wasfamiliar with the organization.
Many forces in Russia were currently looking for the stronghold of the Island of Despair. The comebackof the Island of Despair had caused them to be taken advantage of. That was why they were workingtogether to find out where their stronghold was. They hoped to turn the tide.
However, they had yet to find anything until today.
Luke's brows furrowed.
He felt helpless about Luca's matter this time.
He had spent a long time looking for the Island of Despair, but he had no idea where their hideout was.
His computer screen lit up, notifying him that he had received an email.
Luke clicked on it. It was an email in Russian. He quickly opened the email.
It was an email from Ray.
Ray stated in the email that his men had not found the stronghold of the Island of Despair. At the sametime, he would bring Vivian to his country for a vacation during New Year's. He wanted Vivian to getfamiliar with the environment there.
Vivian was offered admission to the Capital University in A City.
There was a slight trace of disappointment in Luke's eyes. There was still no sign of the stronghold. Hereplied to Ray in Russian: [You're always welcome here.]
The moment Luke sent the email, Ray sent another email to him and reminded him not to tell Gordanabout their schedule.
Luke frowned. What did this have anything to do with Gordan?
He had been investigating the Island of Despair and instructing people to keep an eye on Matysh afterhe returned.
That was why he did not pay attention to what had been going on with Gordan and Vivian after theydivorced.
However, Vivian seemed to have moved on. Was Gordan unable to let go? Luke did not think Gordanwould be looking for Vivian, so he just replied: [Don't worry. I won't mention anything about it.]
Aunt Neile delivered the lunchbox to the office when it was noontime.
Luke headed downstairs carrying the lunchbox in his hands. Jason called him when he walked out ofhis office, “Boss, are you going to have lunch now?"
"Yes." Luke turned around and looked at him.
"There's an unscheduled international video conference around 1:30 p.m. Will you be able to make it?The branch office in New York requested it," Jason discussed with him.
"Yes," Luke agreed to attend the meeting. He should have finished eating lunch with Luca by then.
"Okay. Then let me have it arranged," said Jason.
Luke arrived at the laboratory downstairs with the lunchbox in his hands, and he directly walked intoLuca's office.novelbin
Zoey saw him passing by when she was in her office. She did not stop him. After all, who would havethe guts to stop their boss?
Zoey shot a glance and lowered her head to continue her work.
Rhett got out of the laboratory and returned to the office. He noticed that Zoey was still working andasked, “Aren't you going out for lunch today?"
“I've ordered takeout. It's too cold out there. I don't feel like moving at all," answered Zoey.
Rhett nodded. He picked up the document on his table and glanced at it. Then, he asked, "Is this forDr. Craw to sign?"
"I think so. Let me see," Zoey took the document from him and glanced at it. She confirmed and said,"Yes, Dr. Craw has to sign on the last page of the document."
"Let me take this to her office," said Rhett. He was about to walk out of the office.
Zoey quickly stopped him, "Mr. Link, it's not urgent. Why don't you wait until after lunch break..."
"Why? Dr. Craw has just returned to her office. She hasn't left yet," Rhett asked with confusion.
Zoey shook her head and replied, "You're too busy to notice that Boss has been bringing lunch boxesinto Dr. Craw's office every day. Won't you be the third wheel if you head there now?"
"Boss. Mr. Crawford? He's in Dr. Craw's office?" Rhett widened his eyes. He was a little lost as he hadnever seen him here.
"Yes. This has been going on for the past few days. Just wait until lunch break is over. You can ask Dr.Craw to sign the document after that. It's not urgent anyway," Zoey returned to her seat calmly.
Would they not be getting themselves into trouble if they knocked on Luca's office door now?
Everyone knew Luke's character. Usually, they would not bother him if it had nothing to do with work.Sometimes, they even had to be careful when they needed to see him to discuss work. They had to becareful around him if they wanted to avoid getting into trouble.
"Okay," Rhett put the document back on the table and left a note to remind himself that he must bringthe document to Luca and have her sign it.
"Has Mr. Crawford been having lunch with Dr. Craw these days?" he asked.
"Yes. Every day. And it seems like his maid is the one who delivers the lunchboxes," Zoey answered.She happened to see his housemaid delivering the lunch boxes when she was buying lunchdownstairs.
"Fortunately, you told me earlier. Otherwise, I could have gotten myself in trouble," Rhett said calmly.He seldom stayed in the office. That was why he did not see who came in.
If it were not for Zoey reminding him, it would not be as simple as becoming the third wheel.
