Female Novel
Chapter 1833
Luke looked at her deeply. He knew that Luca was smiling like that because Nina was happy.
He did not misunderstand. He just nodded slightly and walked out of the office.
Percy may seem cold, but he had a romantic side when he was with Nina.
If he did not know the details, he would likely have gotten jealous of Percy for making Luca smile likethat.
Luca watched Luke leave. She touched her chin and wondered why he walked over.
'Is there work for me to do? If yes, he could've easily called me to notify me. But he came in and leftwithout talking about work?'
Luca was puzzled.
When Luke returned to the office, he remembered why he went to look for Luca just now. He was in adaze thinking about how her smile was not for him, so he was so annoyed that he even forgot that hewas there to talk to her about something.
He was a little embarrassed to walk back to her office, so he picked up his phone and texted Luca.
[Dinner at the Royal Crown Hotel tonight at seven.] He pressed 'send'. Jack Norman had requested themeeting.
After he found out that Luca was Bianca, he mentioned that he wanted to chat with Luca alone, whichwas why he organized this dinner.
Luca received Luke's text and wondered why he was asking her out for dinner.
'Will I be eating alone with Luke? Or is there another occasion?'
Luca carefully replied: [Mr. Crawford, are we eating alone?]
[It's a business meeting.] Luke did not tell her that Jack would be there.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was a business meeting. She was fine as long asshe did not have to eat with Luke alone.
His aura was strong. Even though she had changed over the years, she still felt uneasy facing the manshe loved. After all, she was using a strange identity to spend time with the man.
The previous touches and memories would pop up in her mind when she was alone with Luke, makingit impossible for her to face him comfortably.
After work hours.
Luke did not work overtime for the first time in a long time. He packed up his documents and went toLuca's office.
Since he had informed her in advance, Luca happened to be putting on her coat when he walked in.When she saw Luke, she subconsciously got nervous and asked, "Mr. Crawford, is it a formaloccasion? Do I need to change and dress up?"
Since Luke had not told her much, she was particularly cautious.
Luke shook his head and said, "You look fine. It's just a business dinner."
Luca calmed down when she heard what he said. 'It's just business dinner, so that's fine. I'm not goingas Luke's female companion but as his assistant.'
"I'm ready to go." She picked up the briefcase which contained the documents that she planned to workon at night.
Luke nodded and said, "Let's go."
Luca nodded and followed behind Luke calmly while keeping an arm's distance.
When they were about to reach the elevator, she looked back. 'It's a business dinner, so why isn'tJason coming?'
Luke pressed the elevator button and happened to see Luca turning back. He reminded her coldly,saying, "Look ahead when you walk."
Luca was startled, turned around, and found that she was very close to Luke.
While she was thinking about why Jason did not have to follow along, she had unconsciously gotten soclose to Luke. It would just take a few more steps for her to touch Luke's back...
"Sorry, Mr. Crawford." She lowered her head, knowing that he hated it when others touched him withouthis consent.
That rule applied to everyone but her.
However, she should keep her distance.
Luke watched the elevator doors slowly open and walked in. He looked at how careful Luca seemedand could not help but wonder.
'Since when did she need to become so cautious? She doesn't need to do so around me.'
Luca watched him linger on pressing the elevator button and asked softly, "Mr. Crawford, are youwaiting for Mr. Doyle?"
"Why would I be waiting for him?" Luke stretched out his hand and pressed the underground floorbutton, where his car was parked.
"Doesn't he need to come to this business dinner?" Luca asked. She thought that Luke would bringJason. After all, he was his assistant. She assumed that Luke asked her along so that she could be thetranslator.
"This business dinner has nothing to do with him." Luke put his hands in his pockets and used a coldexpression to hide his restlessness.
His heart would beat rapidly whenever he faced Luca.
He had to hide his true feelings so that she would not be scared away by him.
Luke looked at Luca's bowed head, wondering when the days of him disguising his feelings for herwould come to an end.
When they arrived at the underground floor, he stepped out of the elevator first while Luca habituallyfollowed behind him.
In the past, she would walk by his side. However, Luca could only follow behind him.
If she fought for it, she would have a chance to stand by his side, but doing so would bring huge troubleto Luke. She was unwilling to do anything that might hurt him.
"There's still half a month left before this project comes to an end. If the bid is successful, a reward willbe given to all the employees involved and a company trip. Where would you recommend?" Lukewalked to his parking space as he asked.
‘Company trip?’
Luca blinked, remembering the last trip.
She almost drowned because she got a cramp and was rescued by Luke. She was put in the spotlightthat day...
It was from that day that their relationship developed, and there was a subtle whiff of romance.
"Get in the car." Luke saw her keeping quiet and knew she was thinking about something. He walked tothe side of the car, opened the front passenger door, and reminded her.
The front passenger door had been opened. It was obvious that she could only sit there.
Luke did not ask the driver to drive them, so she could not possibly sit in the back.
Luca turned sideways and got into the car. She unavoidably came into contact with Luke’s body.
The weather was cold, so she was wearing three layers. When they touched, her nerves were numbedand she lost herself in the sensation.
It was as though she was having puppy love once more. When one came into contact with the personone liked, even if it was not an ambiguous moment, it was enough to intoxicate one.novelbin
Right after the door closed, Luca quickly covered her cheek with her hand.
Fortunately, it was not burning hot.
Luca watched as Luke went around the front of the car and opened the driver's door. She acted casualas she fastened her seat belt and looked ahead.
Luke noticed her fake calmness. He sat in the driver's seat, lowered his head, and smiled slightly.
He knew her best.
Her seemingly natural state revealed her inner discomfort.
‘Is it because of how I had deliberately touched her just now?’
