Female Novel
Chapter 1816
Enoch nodded his head understandingly. “Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's alright. You work in a different industry, so it's normal for you to be unaware of some practiceshere. Anyway, I'll head back to work now." Luca let out a sigh of relief when Enoch did not insist onsending her upstairs. Queenie did not say anything either.
Luca had no idea how she was going to reject Enoch if he insisted on sending her there.
However, he seemed like a generous man. He would not do things abruptly. Luca would just distanceherself from him after this. Enoch would understand what was going on even if she did not spell it outfor him.
Luca accepted Queenie's arrangement, but there was nothing Queenie and Jack could do if Luca andEnoch did not click well with each other.
"Sure. I'll keep in touch with you through Facebook," Enoch added. It had been such a long time sincehe met a woman who caught his eyes, and that was why he wanted to go for it.
Luca nodded, turned around, and left.
Queenie smiled as she watched Luca leave, then she asked Enoch, "Enoch, what do you think ofLuca?" "I like her. I'm hoping to get to know her better." Enoch expressed his admiration for Lucaunabashedly. Enoch was born in a political family. He was surrounded by different types of womensince he was young. However, none of them had ever caught his attention.
It was because he had nothing in common with them.
Enoch was interested in many things. If he was not a filial son who listened to his parents'arrangements and continued to be involved in politics, he would be working in the pharmaceuticalindustry just like Luca.novelbin
"That's great. I didn't expect you to like her so much. Luca is a good woman. She's beautiful and has agood personality. Uncle Jack and I can promise you that. It's wonderful that you're willing to get to knowher better." Queenie did not expect everything to go so smoothly.
Queenie had only arranged the first blind date for Luca, and this guy was already interested in her.
It seemed like Luca was charming, indeed. She could not let such a charming woman like Luca stayclose to Luke. Otherwise, things would get out of control in the future.
"Luca is different from any woman I've known before. I'm definitely not going to reject getting into arelationship with her if she agrees to it too," said Enoch. There were traces of his admiration for Luca inhis words.
"I was observing you two just now. I think you left quite a good impression on Luca too. Besides, UncleJack told me that your ability and courage are the best among the younger generation, so you'll surelyhave a bright future," said Queenie. Although she was in a hurry to find Luca a boyfriend, she did notdo things carelessly either.
Queenie could not help but dig into Enoch's family background when Jack planned to introduce Enochto Luca.
His family had been involved in politics for three generations. Although Enoch's grandfather and fatherdid not hold high positions, they had been honest and fair their whole lives. A child educated by such afamily was certainly not that bad either.
Moreover, Jack told her that Enoch had a bright future. If he was willing to keep up with his work with adown-to-earth attitude, he would not stay in his current position as a civil servant for long.
A man like him was considered outstanding, and he would be a great match for Luca.
That was why Queenie made such arrangements. When she brought up the topic of a blind date toEnoch, he agreed to meet Luca. At the same time, Luca had agreed to meet him as well.
The two of them looked harmonious when they were talking to each other just now. It seemed like theyhad left a good impression on each other. It was as though Queenie was able to envision Luca andEnoch dating, then getting married and having kids.
"Thank you for introducing me to such an outstanding woman." Enoch was truly satisfied with Luca. Itwas great if his partner was working in the profession he was interested in.
If they really got married, he did not have to worry that there was nothing they could talk about even ifthey were working in different fields.
“Don't mention it. What the future holds for you all depends on you and Luca now. You'd better seizethe chance. If this works, you'll surely receive a wedding gift from us.” Queenie encouraged him.
Enoch nodded confidently. He lowered his head and sent Luca a message: [I had a great time talkingto you. If you're not busy, why don't we meet again at a later date?]
Luca got into the elevator and massaged her aching forehead. She let out a sigh as she watched theelevator go up.
She did not expect it to be so tiring to deal with Queenie.
Her heart belonged to someone else. How could she be interested in another man?
However, she had no choice but to respond enthusiastically to a man she had no interest in forQueenie's sake. She was trying to show that she was interested in him too.
Well, putting on a show was tiring...
Luca was not a professional actor. It was already tiring enough when she had to conceal her feelingswhen she was facing Luke. Now, she had to deceive Queenie and Enoch with her poor acting skills.
There were no other employees in the elevator as lunch break was almost over.
Luca leaned her head on the elevator wall wearily and let out a helpless sigh. She wanted to look for ashoulder to cry on or go somewhere she would not have to pretend and put on a show.
She wanted to lean on Luke's shoulder the most. However, she still had to put on a mask when shewas facing that man.
There was no place for her to relax.
Luca covered her face with her hands. She felt exhausted. Then, her phone in her pocket vibrated. Shetook her phone out and looked at it. It was a message from Enoch.
Luca let out a sigh and stared at the keyboard for a long time. She thought of finding an excuse tobrush him off, but considering that he might be sitting with Queenie now, she replied to him: [Sure.]
Luca walked out of the elevator when it arrived on the floor. She ran into Jason, who had just gotten outof the office pantry. She smiled and greeted him, "Mr. Doyle, have you eaten your lunch?"
Jason's expression was a little strange. He nodded and replied, “Yes, Dr. Craw. How was your date?”
“I was just having lunch with my friends. I don't think it's considered a date,” Luca corrected him. Shewas reluctant to mention the words 'blind date'.
“I see. I'm going back to my office to work first,” replied Jason. Then, he headed to his office.
Jason was still on the fence. He had yet to tell Luke that Luca had gone on a blind date.
After all, everyone in the company was stressed enough. If Luke got furious and wanted them to speedup the progress of the project, then they would be out of luck.
Jason had been working for him for years and knew his boss' temper well.
If Luke was mad at something, he would work continuously to release his anger.
The workload of the employees would increase if Luke's workload increased.
Although it was tiring for Luke to handle everything in the company alone, he was able to endure itmore than others as though he was Superman.
However, his employees were merely ordinary people. They would not be able to do so much work.
Luca looked at Jason's figure from behind. She noticed Jason was acting a little weird, and the way helooked at her was odd too.
Could it be that Jason had found out about her blind date?
It was not a big deal if he figured it out. However, if he knew about it, Luke must know about it as well.
