Chapter 1813
They would still suspect her when the time came.
Although Luca felt embarrassed, she still agreed to it and said, "Alright. I'll be there at noon."
"Alright. Then I'll leave you to it." Queenie sounded happy when Luca agreed to it as though the matterwould be settled once the two people met each other.
Luca was an outstanding woman, and the man Jack recommended was a fine, young man. When thetwo of them met each other, they would certainly catch each other's eyes.
Moreover, Luca agreeing to go on a blind date indicated that there was probably nothing going onbetween Luca and Luke.
After Queenie hung up the call, Luca put her phone aside.
Luca thought they were just testing her, but she did not expect that they would really makearrangements after she agreed to their suggestion.
She thought her parents were not the kind of people who enjoyed arranging blind dates for others.However, they were doing it to her now.
Perhaps they were worried that she would steal someone's husband...
Luca felt a pain in her neck all of a sudden. She picked up her mug and stood up. Then, she headed tothe office pantry.
Tina was in the pantry too, making some coffee. She saw Luca come in and smiled, saying, "Dr. Craw,would you like to have some coffee? I just made some."
"No, thank you. Plain water is fine for me." Luca walked toward the water dispenser and filled her mugwith water.
Tina added some milk to the coffee. She turned around and noticed that the mug that Luca was fillingwith water was nearly overflowing. She reminded Luca, saying, "Dr. Craw, it's almost overflowing."
Luca snapped back to her senses, picked up her mug, and took a sip. The water was cold. "Why is itso cold?"
"You filled your mug with cold water just now," said Tina. Tina felt there was something wrong withLuca. She was too absent-minded. Her mug nearly overflowed just now, and she did not even realizeshe had been filling her mug with cold water.
"Oh." Luca came back to her senses and poured half the mug of cold water into the sink. Then, shepressed the button to dispense warm water.
"Dr. Craw, what's wrong with you? It seems like something's bothering you. Are you facing anydifficulties at work?" Tina asked with concern.
Luca let out a sigh helplessly. She held her mug and hesitated, wondering if she should tell Tina aboutit.
"Don't worry. I'll forget about it after you tell me. I won't tell anyone about it." Tina promised.
"I'm not afraid of you telling the others about it. After all, everyone might be able to see it forthemselves later on,” Luca said with a helpless look. Queenie had her own reason for choosing to meether at the cafe downstairs. She knew why even if Queenie did not tell her.
Although it looked like Queenie chose the cafe downstairs for her convenience, it was to leave Lucawith no choice but to agree to the date. That way, she could head back to her office immediately after
lunch.
However, the cafe downstairs did not have any private rooms. In other words, she would be seen byother employees on her blind date. Then, the news would spread like wildfire in the office.
Luke would probably know that she was going on a blind date.
It was a great chance to kill two birds with one stone. Queenie had meticulously made thearrangements. Luca knew that she was once an independent woman too. If it had not been for Jack,she would not have chosen to stay behind the scenes and become the woman behind her man.
"So what is it?" Tina got even more curious when Luca said so.
"I was arranged to go on a blind date with someone," said Luca.
"Blind date? That's not a big deal. Last week, I went on a blind date too. That guy was sort of pervy. I'mnot interested in him. Sigh, ever since I met your younger brother, I've been thinking about him. Hownice would it be if my date could be as handsome as your younger brother," Tina said as she let out asigh.
Luca smiled and shook her head. "He's nice, but he's not as good as you think he is."
After all, the people from the Island of Despair all had blood on their hands.novelbin
"Let's not talk about this. Isn't it just a blind date? Do you seriously have to be this restless over it? Ifyou don't feel like seeing him, then don't." Tina did not continue to talk about Amur. She changed thesubject back to Luca's matter.
"The woman who arranged the blind date for me is someone I respect very much. I don't want to let herdown. Besides, she'll get upset if I refuse to go on this blind date," said Luca.
"Then you can just get it over with it. You can tell her that he's not suitable for you after meeting theguy, but that way, she might arrange more blind dates for you in the future." Tina had more experiencein going on blind dates.
"Hmm, how do I explain this? She can't wait to see me meet up with this guy, so she arranged for theblind date to take place at the cafe downstairs of our office. I don't think it's the right time for me to goon a blind date now, but I can't turn her down. So, I have no choice but to go for it," Luca saidhelplessly. "I understand what you mean. So, that's why..." Tina took a sip of her coffee and pattedLuca's shoulder. "There's nothing I can do to help you either. Good luck, then."
Luca took a sip of water, let out a sigh, and said, "Yes, I need all the good luck I can get."
Luca left the pantry after that.
Tina watched Luca leave from behind. She shook her head helplessly and muttered to herself, "So,why do people go on blind dates anyway? Can't a woman enjoy staying alone?"
Luca walked back to the office with her mug. She saw Jason bringing two folders over to her. He said,"Dr. Craw, we need your help to translate these two folders too." "Alright. Sure thing," Luca replied. Shewas only taking up translation work, so it was considered easy for her.
Luca sat at her office desk. Although she was not in the mood to continue working, there were still pilesof documents she needed to translate. She could not be distracted now and continued to throw herselfinto work.
At noon, her phone rang.
Luca glanced at her phone. Sure enough, it was Queenie calling her.
She had no choice but to answer the call. "Hello, Mrs. Norman."
Queenie was satisfied listening to her polite tone. She said gently, "Luca, I've arrived at the cafe belowyour office with Enoch. When will you be coming down?"
Luca glanced at the time. It was already lunchtime. She stood up and said, "I'm coming down now. It'sthe cafe right below T Corporation, right?"
"Yes, we're here. You can come over now. Do you mind if I order some dishes for you first?" Queenieknew Luca was busy with her work, and that was why she requested to do so.
"Sure. Thank you, Mrs. Norman." Luca hung up the call and shook her head helplessly.
There were many cafes and restaurants around her office, but Queenie chose the cafe only becausethere were no private rooms there...
It did seem like Queenie was planning to let the others, including Luke, see her on a blind date.
It was a hint.
Luca put on her jacket, picked up her phone, and left the office. She glanced at Luke's office and couldvaguely see that the door was closed.
Jason happened to come out of his office. He ran into Luca. He smiled and asked, "Dr. Craw, are yougoing down for lunch too?"
"Yes, what about you?" Luca glanced at Jason and headed to the elevator.
"Yes, and I'll be getting the boss' lunch too. I have to go down to get it," Jason explained
