Female Novel
Chapter 1935
Luke listened to the maid reporting to him about Luca's whereabouts. He raised his hand andinterrupted Gale while he was analyzing the situation. He asked the person on the other end of thephone, “Did she say what she's up to?"
“No, she didn't tell me about the details. But it looks like it's something serious. Oh, she even told methat she won't be coming home for dinner if she can't settle it," the maid answered.
"Okay." Luke's eyes darkened. He did not like the thought of Luca contacting Amur.
Although Luca treated Amur like her little brother, Amur did not seem to see her as his elder sister.
"Send me a message when she's back home."
"Alright, Mr. Crawford." Luke hung up the call after the maid said so.
Gale was sitting with his legs crossed opposite Luke, and he deliberately asked, "Luke, haven't youhandled Sister-in-Law yet? And you're still keeping an eye on her?"
"This has nothing to do with you. All you have to do is to investigate the matter for me. It's up to you todecide how much manpower you need." Luke refused to give Gale the chance to mention Luca andshifted the topic back to the main subject.
Gale nodded and replied, "It's hard to tell whether it's difficult or not since I haven't started investigating.I might put the brothers who are doing their mission abroad to use if there's a need to do so."
"Feel free to do so," replied Luke. Gale had Luke's complete trust.
Even though Luke and Gale's friendship had not lasted more than 30 years like Percy and Luke'sfriendship, Luke was still able to trust him with his life.
"Alright then. I was gonna head to the control room to get the related footage away, but I don't havepermission now. Mr. Doyle, sorry to trouble you." Gale stood up and turned to look at Jason. Galeneeded Jason to accompany him to the control room.
After all, the company's security measures were strict.
Hence, Gale thought that it was unbelievable to have such important research data stolen and sold offto someone else under such circumstances.
"Sure." Jason glanced at Luke and followed Gale out of the room.
Luke was left alone in his office.
He turned the wheelchair and stared outside the window.
Why was Luca looking for Amur?
Was there any connection between them and what happened this time?
Luke was truly hoping that Luca had nothing to do with this...
Luca drove to the apartment. The security guard who was familiar with Luca greeted herenthusiastically when she drove into the residential area. “Ms. Luca, did you buy a car?"
"It's the company's car," answered Luca as she held up the access card against the long-range reader.
The entrance barrier gate was opened.
The security reminded her, "Oh, the other resident staying in your apartment owns a car too. He tookyour parking lot. You probably have to park your car in the visitor's parking lot."
"Alright. I got it. Thank you for reminding me." Luca wondered when Amur got a car. Why was she notinformed?
It was cold, so there were barely any visitors. There were many available spaces in the visitors' parkinglot.
Luca headed to the apartment after she parked her car.
She carried the thermos container in her arms, afraid that the cold wind would cool the food.
Luca was polite and did not open the door directly when she reached the apartment. She knocked onthe door instead.
Amur came to open the door. He was surprised to see Luca and said, "Why did you knock on the door?Did you forget to bring the keys?"
"I brought the keys, but I still thought it'd better knock on the door first," Luca smiled and explained.She walked into the apartment and looked around. It was not as messy as she thought it would be.
It seemed like Amur still cared a lot about his hygiene.
"You're the owner of this house. Don't bother with the usual courtesies." Amur felt unhappy when Lucasaid so. It was as though she was treating him like an outsider.
Luca placed the thermos container on the dining table and said, "I don't think you've had anything toeat yet since you just woke up, right? I brought lunch. Care to join?"
"Sure." Amur nodded. It warmed his heart when he saw the thermos container.
Luca still cared about him and even brought him lunch.
Luca walked into the kitchen and noticed that there was dust on the cooking counter. She reckonedthat Amur had never cooked here before.
Amur did not know how to cook either.
Luca took out two sets of clean cutleries and walked out of the kitchen. She placed them on the diningtable and opened the thermos container.
The fragrance of the food filled their noses immediately.
Amur sat at the dining table and watched Luca fill a plate with macaroni and cheese. Then, she placedthe plate in front of Amur. Amur could not help and ask, "How have you been lately?" "I'm fine. I have amaid to look after me. The maid prepared all these for lunch. What a sumptuous meal, right?" Luca didnot tell Amur the troubles that were on her mind.
Amur could hear the implication in her words and replied, “Your cooking still tastes the best no matterhow sumptuous the meal is."
"Why? Are you craving it?" Luca placed the buffalo wings in front of him.
Amur usually worked out, and his body needed more calories. Hence, Luca had specially brought somemeat for him.
"Yes. I had some really good pot pie last night. It's located in an urban village. Although it doesn't tasteas good as the one you make, it's still flavorful. Let me bring you there when you're free," said Amur.
Luca nodded and replied, "Sure. Let's go there after I'm done with the work on hand. I'll prepare lots ofgood food for you too."
"Sounds great." Amur smiled. He noticed that Luca was only having some salad. He quickly took twobuffalo wings for her and placed them on her plate. "You've lost weight. You should eat more."
"Alright. You too." Luca took a bite of the macaroni and cheese. She imitated him by helping him taketwo more buffalo wings.
Amur was not blinded by the happiness in his heart. He remembered why Luca came looking for him,so he asked, "Oh, the mission you mentioned—"
"Let's enjoy our lunch first. We'll talk about it after lunch." Luca did not answer him directly. She refusedto be disturbed by the damned mission while she was enjoying a moment of peace.
Amur nodded.
After the two of them finished their lunch, Luca carried the plates and thermos container into thekitchen. She told Amur about the mission only after she cleaned everything up.
Amur fell silent after he listened to her. He stroked his chin and concluded, "So, I have to use Albus'identity to open a Swiss bank account for him?"
"Yes." Luca nodded.
"Do you have his personal information?" Amur asked again.
"I didn't dare to pry as things aren't in my favor now. I might need you to use some methods to get thatperson's personal information," said Luca. It was not that she could not access the personal informationof the employees in Watson Biopharmaceuticals, but if she looked into it now, she would make herselfa suspicious target.
"I got it. Let me dig into it." Amur nodded.
Luca reminded him, "Don't try to access T Corporation's and Watson Biopharmaceuticals' systems. It'seasy to get caught now."
"Got it. Leave this to me. I probably need some time to do it, but it's not difficult for me," replied Amur.The task was as easy as pie for him.novelbin
