Female Novel
Chapter 2503
Although the woman in front of her was skinny, she was tall. She was a foot taller than Luca, and shedid not seem like the type who one would fall easily.
The woman shook her head and replied, “No, thanks. I was in a hurry. It's not your fault."
After that, she headed straight and kept going.novelbin
She was slightly limping after she fell just now. Luca felt sorry for her and came forward to help her up."It's my fault. Where are you going? Let me help you."
“I'm going home. It's not far away from here. Young lady, go ahead. I'll be fine." The woman did notintend to blame Luca for it. It was not a big deal.
"Since it's not far away, let me send you home. You don't want to head to the hospital for a check-up,so at least let me send you home. That way, I won't worry about you," Luca insisted.
"Okay. Thank you." The woman did not insist on walking back herself. She let Luca help her home.
Fortunately, the weather was cold but she wore enough layers to keep herself warm. Hence, it only hurta little.
"It's nothing." Luca carefully helped the woman up. Even though she wore layers of clothes, Luca couldstill feel how skinny and weak the woman was.
Foreigners were tall and big-boned. That was why the woman looked taller than Luca, but she wasskinny.
Luca immediately understood why the woman fell after she bumped into her.
Luca could not help but wonder at the thought of this. Foreigners usually could get a good job in A City.Many parents were willing to send their children to foreign teachers to teach them other languages.
Hence, they were able to live a comfortable life with such a job.
However, the woman in front of her... Other than her blonde hair and blue eyes, the way she dressedand her complexion were the same as the people living on this street.
She looked poor.
Luca could not help but get even more confused. She was good at judging someone's character. Eventhough the woman fell after being bumped into, she did not pester Luca. All she wanted was to gohome. The woman's gentle aura made Luca feel like the woman in front of her was a well-educatedmiddle-aged woman.
"We've arrived. Thank you, young lady." The woman interrupted Luca's thoughts. Luca lifted her headand glanced at the shabby house. The lower class in A City would usually stay in places like this.
Normally, it was hard to see foreigners staying on this street.
"Okay. Oh, I'll leave you my name card. Feel free to call me anytime when you need help," said Lucaas she took her name card out of her pocket and handed it to her.
The woman took the name card from Luca, smiled, and replied, "Don't worry. I won't come looking fortrouble."
"I shall leave." Luca gave her a polite nod, turned around, and wondered which country the womancame from.
She could speak English well, and she did not have a foreign accent.
While Luca pondered, she glanced at the time. She would not make it to the office before getting offwork if she did not hail a ride soon. She quickly walked out of the alley and hailed a taxi back to TCorporation.
Luca managed to return to her office before it was time to get off work.
She pushed her office door open, only to notice that there was a basket of fruits on her coffee table.
Luca blinked her eyes. She left in a hurry just now. That was why she did not notice whether the fruitswere already on the table or not.
She turned around, headed to the assistants' office, and asked Zoey, who was busy photocopying thedocuments, “Ms. Davis, what's with the fruit basket in my office?”
"Dr. Craw, it's the fruit basket Boss asked Mr. Doyle to get for you." Zoey smiled. Zoey already knewsomething was going on between Luca and their boss, so she chuckled.
"When was it sent here?" Luca asked as she became alert.
If Jason had sent the fruits to her office while she went out, then she probably could not hide the factthat she had gone out during office hours from Luke.
Now, Matysh still had his eyes on her. Luca would certainly get scolded by Luke for hiding things fromhim and not asking Warren to send her around.
"It was around noon. You already had lunch at that time, and it was inappropriate to deliver the fruitbasket Boss got you to the meeting room. So, he left it in your office. Didn't you see it just now? Thefruit basket has always been there," answered Zoey while she arranged the photocopied documents.
Luca let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was sent around noon time.
"I was in a hurry, so I didn't notice. Thanks." After Luca thanked her, she turned around and returned toher office.
Luca sat on the sofa and stared at the fruit basket. Even though it was left there for an afternoon, thetemperature was low, and that was why the fruits still looked fresh.
They were all imported fruits.
Luke had prepared this fruit basket for her.
Luca glanced at the time. It was time to get off work. She tidied her stuff and carried the fruit basketalong with her.
After she punched out of work, she headed to the basement parking lot. Warren was waiting beside thecar for her.
“Ms. Craw, you've finished work?" Warren asked and opened the rear door of the car.
“Yes. Thank you." Luca bent down and got into the car. Then, she closed the car door. The fruit basketwas placed on her thighs steadily.
Warren sat in the driver's seat. He fastened the seat belt and asked, "Would you like to go home now?"
Home...
Luca's lips curled a little. That was her home.
"Yes. Send me home please," said Luca. The adults had started working, but the schools were notopen yet. The kids must miss her. Besides, Vivian would be waiting for her too. She wondered whatVivian would do to kill time.
The phone in her pocket vibrated for a moment. Luca picked it up and glanced at it. It was a messagefrom Luke.
[Have you gotten off work?]
[Yes. I just got into the car.] Luca gently tapped on the phone screen and replied.
[Stay safe. I'll be working overtime at the office today. Don't wait for me for dinner.] Luke replied to hermessage soon.
[Okay.] Luca placed her phone back into her pocket after the message was successfully sent.
It seemed like they had a bond of understanding between them. When Luca knew Luke would not replyto her message, he truly would not reply.
Hence, the phone that was in her pocket no longer rang while she was on her way back.
When she arrived at the gate and Warren was about to swipe the card to enter, Luca noticed a manstanding beside the car.
She quickly said, "Warren, wait!"
"Ms. Craw, what's the matter?" Warren looked at her with confusion through the rearview mirror.
Nothing had happened when they were on the way here, but Luca's tone of voice made him worried.
"I saw someone familiar. Park the car beside the road first. Don't block the entrance," said Luca.
"Okay, Ms. Craw." Warren reversed the car and parked the car at the temporary parking lot beside thestreet.
Luca placed the fruit basket on the empty seat beside her, pushed the door open, and prepared to getout of the car.
"Ms. Craw, be careful," reminded Warren.
"It's okay. He's someone I know. He won't hurt me." Luca smiled and bent down to get out of the car.
