Chapter 2126
"That's right. Dr. Craw's medicine is effective and doesn't come with side effects or dependence. It'smuch more effective than the sleeping pills prescribed at the hospital. It just hasn't entered the marketyet. She made it herself and takes it as well. It's quite safe," said Zoey. Rhett had told her all of this.
As for how Rhett knew about it, she did not ask.
He must know much more than they did, Rhett was Luca's assistant, after all.
"Dr. Craw is brilliant," Tina spoke highly of her, but she had no intention of asking Luca for themedicine.
She was only suffering from temporary insomnia. As long as she cleared her mind, she would be ableto return to her old sleeping habits.
"You seem to be in bad shape. If this issue persists, your work will be affected too," said Zoey as shelooked at Tina's haggard appearance. If she had not known that Tina was not seeing anyone, shewould have thought that she just got dumped.
"Let's talk about it some other time." Tina shook her head. She could not bring herself to ask formedicine from Luca.
However, she did want to talk to Luca about something else. Did the missing person have something todo with Luca? When she thought of this, she asked again, "By the way, is Dr. Craw in her office?"
"Yes, she is. Tina, since you're close with Dr. Craw and have spent time together before, she'll definitelyhelp you," said Zoey.
Tina nodded. Although Amur and Luca did not share the same parents, they were still siblings. Lucamust know about Amur's whereabouts.
After leaving the assistant's office, she walked up to Luca's office door and raised her hand to knock onthe door.
"Come in." Luca's voice sounded.
After hearing her voice, Tina mustered up the courage to push the door open. "Dr. Craw, are you free?"
Luca was eating while looking at documents. She looked up when she heard that it was Tina's voiceand grabbed a tissue next to her to wipe her mouth. "Oh, it's you, Tina. I'm free. What's the matter?"
Tina saw her eating while looking at documents and kindly reminded, "Dr. Craw, eating like this willcause indigestion."
"It's no big deal. What's wrong?" Luca knew that Tina certainly did not come over to chit-chat. Plus,lunch break was almost over. Even if she did come to chit-chat, now was not the time.
“The thing is, I have some personal matters to ask you about." Tina clasped her hands together, thenstretched them out again out of nervousness.
Luca noticed her little movements and pointed to the seat next to her. "Have a seat first, then talk."
Tina sat on the couch. "Why don't you finish your meal first?"
"I'm pretty much done. You go ahead." Luca pushed the lunch box aside and looked at the person onthe couch. Tina's nervousness did not seem to go away.
Tina had always been confident, whether it be at work or outside of work. Luca figured that somethingwas troubling her, which made her behave that way.
After having that thought, Luca looked Tina up and down carefully. She noticed that Tina was notlooking so well as if she had not slept for days,
Tina adjusted her breathing and faced Luca, but she did not know where to start.
"Tina, have you not been sleeping well for the past few days?" said Luca when she noticed that Tinawas not saying anything.
Tina froze. "You noticed it too."
"Your complexion looks bad, and you have eye bags and dark circles. You don't look like yourself."Luca shook her head.
Tina could not help but smile bitterly. She was indeed not herself anymore. The old her used to bedashing, but now, she was like a jailbird who had to think carefully before uttering each word. With nonews of Amur, it was like her sky had fallen down.
She realized that she had feelings for Amur.
However, Amur could not even care less about her.
Therefore, there were two possible explanations for why she could not get a hold of Amur. One, herealized that she had feelings for him and was purposely avoiding her. Two, something had happenedto him.
"I've been suffering from insomnia lately," said Tina after gathering her courage.
"I have medicine that helps with sleep. Do you need it?" Luca opened the drawer. She predicted thatshe would have to stay here in the future, so she brought a few pills to the company.
"No need. There's a reason why I can't sleep. You see, I haven't been able to get a hold of my friend,so I'm anxious..." Tina gazed at her.
Luca could tell from her eyes.
She was worried and helpless.
Luca pointed out bluntly, "Do you like that friend?"
"No, no, it's just that this friend has helped me before and he means something to me, so." Tina quicklydenied it.
"I see." Luca knew that Tina did not want to admit it, so she just went along with it.
"Dr. Craw.." Tina took a deep breath and said everything that was on her mind, "You actually know thisfriend of mine. It's your brother, Amur. We've been keeping in touch, but he hasn't replied to any of mymessages for the past few days, nor has he answered my calls. I was wondering if something hashappened to him?"
Luca was stunned. Amur?
She would never have thought that Tina had a crush on Amur...
When they first met, Luca did not feel the presence of any sparks between them. When did theybecome so close?novelbin
“Dr. Craw, that was rude of me. I'll be leaving.." Tina noticed Luca's expression and knew that Amurhad not once mentioned her in front of Luca.
"Tina, wait a minute," Luca hurriedly shouted at her when she saw her stand up and was about to walkout. "I didn't expect you to be so close to Amur."
"He helped me before. That's how we have each other's contact numbers," explained Tina.
"I see. Amur has recently gone back to Russia to take care of family matters. So, his domestic phone isswitched off. He didn't bring it with him either. It's only natural that you can't reach him," explained
Luca.
"He went back to Russia?" Tina was taken aback and felt lost.
This was not much different from completely ignoring her.
Besides, it was hard to meet someone when they were overseas.
Moreover, he had no plans of keeping in contact with her. Otherwise, he would have told her inadvance if he wanted to.
Luca saw through Tina's expression.
In the workplace, she may be a sharp and decisive female secretary, but when it came to emotionalproblems, her feelings were written all over her face.
She said on behalf of Amur, "Yes, it was all very sudden as the family asked him to go back to deal withsome matters. He went back with only a passport and a bank card, nothing else. That's why you can'tcontact him. If it weren't for the fact that he remembered my phone number, I wouldn't have knownabout it either.."
Tina blinked.
"I'm sure you're aware that Instagram is not very popular in Russia, so he can't reach you. But he'll beback once everything has been dealt with over there. I'll tell you first thing when he comes back," saidLuca. It was a good thing that someone had fallen for Amur.
