Female Novel
Chapter 2131
After Luca had successfully clocked out, she walked into the CEO's exclusive elevator with Luke.
The elevator doors closed slowly, and Zoey withdrew her gaze as she could not help but sigh. “What aperfect match, but how unfortunate.."
Rhett walked into the office and heard her sigh, so he asked out of curiosity, "What match? What'sunfortunate?"
Zoey shook her head as she dared not gossip about the boss' relationship with him. "Are you goinghome?"
"How can I go home when the research professor hasn't gone home yet?" said Rhett while picking up astack of files next to the printer on the desk. He was the laboratory assistant. If the researchers wereworking overtime, he would have to as well.
"But Dr. Craw has just gone home," said Zoey.
Rhett was about to exit the office when he stopped in his tracks all of a sudden and looked back at her."Dr. Craw got off work already?"
"She just clocked out half a minute ago. She should have arrived downstairs by now," informed Zoey. IfLuca did not work overtime, then the researchers should not have to work overtime either.
Rhett looked at the files helplessly. "These files still need to be examined and approved by Dr. Craw."
"Talk about it later. Dr. Craw seems quite busy today." Zoey did not mention Luke and implied that heshould not disturb Luca.
The fact that both of them left together must be because they had a date. If she was interrupted bywork messages and calls while on a date, it would just spoil the mood.
"Without Dr. Craw's approval of these files, a large portion of the research can't be continued," saidRhett with a frown. If it were not for the meeting at Watson today, these matters would not have beendelayed.
"Then talk about it afterward. If the research can't continue, just let the researchers go home," saidZoey.
Rhett looked at her. "Do you know something?"
"What?" Zoey looked at him with big eyes.
"Just now, you told Dr. Craw that the boss was waiting for her in her office.." Rhett checked to see ifanyone else was around before asking.
Zoey pursed her lips into a smile. It seemed like Rhett was not as oblivious as other men, and he knewcertain things. "Good that you know, so don't disturb Dr. Craw."
Rhett looked at the files in his hand and sighed helplessly. “I got it. I'll let the researchers go home first."“Okay." As soon as she heard that they were getting off work, she started to pack up her things. If theywere going home, that meant that she could leave work on time too.
40 minutes later, Luke's car was parked in the parking lot of Crawford Manor.
It was snowing outside.
Luca was about to push open the car door when Luke said, “Hold on."
Luca stopped opening the door and looked at him with a puzzled face.
Mr. Griffin rushed over with an umbrella in his right hand and another in his left.
Luke pushed open the car door, and Mr. Griffin immediately put the umbrella over his head. “YoungMaster Luke, you're back."
“Yes." Luke shut the car door and took the umbrella from Mr. Griffin's right hand. He went around thefront of the car to the passenger's side and opened the door, he said to Luca inside, “You can comedown now."
Luca realized that he was trying to shield her from the snow. She lowered her gaze and had no choicebut to comply with his request, so she got out of the car.
Luke held the umbrella over her head. The snow fell in droves, yet not a single snowflake landed onLuca's head and shoulders.
The two of them walked ahead while Mr. Griffin walked behind them.
After noticing the snow on Luke's shoulder and how there was not a trace of snow on Luca, Mr. Griffincould not help but sigh internally. The young master of the Crawford family was infatuated. He was bothdedicated and infatuated.
However, his infatuation pretty much disappeared after Bianca lost her memory.
Although he was still very nice to her after that, Mr. Griffin clearly felt that many things were different.
The intimacy between the two of them became very distant unlike before, so Bianca was sent to studyabroad.
Mr. Griffin could not help but sigh. He thought that he would never be able to see this side of Lukeagain, but he got to see Luke's gentleness once more when he was with Luca.
In the living room.
Old Master Crawford saw how attentive Luke was through the surveillance in the parking lot displayedon the screen and could not help but nod and praise, “Not bad. He finally learned."
Tommy obediently sat beside the old master and asked in confusion, “Great-grandpa, learn what?"
“I'm talking about your father." Old Master Crawford lovingly patted his great-grandchild. He guessedthat they were already making their way into the house, so he picked up the remote and turned off thescreen.
Tommy asked again, “What happened to my dad?"
“He's been enlightened," Old Master Crawford said with a smile. He deliberately let the children jointoday's dinner as inviting Luca here alone would seem suspicious.
Since Luca loved the children so much, the moment they opened their mouths,
she would surely agree without suspecting anything.novelbin
Tommy was still confused and asked, “Great-grandpa, what's enlightened?"
After seeing Tommy so confused, Old Master Crawford said, "You'll find out when you grow up. Do youremember everything I just told you?"
"I remember everything! Don't worry, Great-grandpa, I'm the smartest!" Tommy blinked and made an'OK' gesture, indicating that he would complete his task.
"You're that smart?" Luke's voice rang out.
Tommy looked back and cheered, "Daddy, Ms. Luca, you came back!"
Luca was sensitive enough to have caught the child's words. He said came back, not came...
It was not weird to use the words 'came back' with Luke as he was part of the Crawford family.
However, she was no longer part of it, yet the children still used those words as if they considered herfamily.
"Both of you came back. Have a seat. Dinner will be ready soon." Old Master Crawford followed suit.
The child may not have paid attention to their choice of words, but Old Master Crawford said the samething as well. Luca suddenly felt that the warm feeling in her heart made the atmosphere here morepleasant and cozy.
"Hello, Old Master Crawford." Nonetheless, Luca still greeted cautiously.
Old Master Crawford looked at Luca joyfully and said, "Luca, didn't you promise me that you wouldcome to keep me company whenever you were free? Look how long it's been since you came!"
Listening to the old master's deliberate scoldings, Luca hurriedly said, "Old Master Crawford, I'm sorry.I've been rather busy lately!"
"Come sit down. I've brewed some flower tea. I heard that you love to drink this stuff, right? I don'tknow how to brew it, so I just brewed it like how I brew usual tea leaves. Try it." Old Master Crawfordhad purposely changed his habit of brewing tea with tea leaves to using flowers instead to show howmuch she meant to him.
Luca's heart felt warm as she noticed the extra attention he gave her. She then sat on the next couch.
Tommy immediately clung to her and said sweetly, "Ms. Luca, I finished my homework all by myself.Can you check it for me later?"
