Chapter 1138 Hated Feeling Powerless
Nina''s gaze shifted away from her kids and toward Luca, but she found that she had already left.
As Nina watched her walk away, she found Luca familiar.
After Luca left the children''s clothing area, she slowly calmed down and contained the pain she felt.
She was overjoyed to meet Nina. She wanted to hold her hand and catch up to ask about how she had
been in the past few years.
However, she could not do that.
Luca hated feeling powerless.
She walked around the mall and realized that she was not in the mood to shop, so she walked toward
the exit.
There was an event happening on the first floor of the mall. Luca looked up and saw the logo of Brilliant
Architectural Design LLC. She was stunned and brought her steps to a stop.
She could not hear anything that the host of the event was saying. She just stood there and stared at
the logo of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC with mixed feelings.
This logo was designed by her. Three yearster, thepany was still around and the logo remained.
Luca wondered if Nina and Sue were the ones trying to keep thepany up and running.
Suddenly, Luke''s name was mentioned, and Luca snapped out of her daze. She looked at the man
who was walking onto the stage.
Luke was wearing a tailored suit and walking to the center of the stage with high spirits. He then took
the microphone handed by the host.
The noise around him stopped when he arrived at the center of the stage.
Luke began to introduce Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. When he mentioned that thepany was
founded by the love of his life, she could not help but chuckle. Luke was the center of attention
everywhere he went.
Even though the lighting in the shopping mall was not the best, his appearance seemed to gather
everyone''s attention. No matter where he went, he would always stand out.
Luca looked at the distance between herself and Luke-not only the distance from the stage to where
she was but also the distance that could not easily be spoken of.
She watched as Luke finished his speech and turned around to leave.
Before she could leave the area, Jason called out to Luca. "Ms. Ivana?"
Luca stopped. She wanted to leave but if she did, it would make things awkward. Hence, she looked
back at him and said with a smile, "Mr. Doyle." "You''re here..." Jason nced at her, then turned to look
at Luke on the stage. "Are you here to shop?"
Luca smiled and said, "Yes, I didn''t expect to bump into Mr. Crawford for an event here." "This is fate."
Jason smiled. "Ms. Ivana, there''ll be a reception in thepanyter. Would you like to join us?"
Luca turned him down without a second thought. "No, I''m not a part of Brilliant Architectural Design
LLC and I think it''s best if I sit out of it." "Don''t be silly, you''re also a part of T Corporation. I believe the
boss would be more than happy to see you there." Jason extended the invitation once again.
Luca shook her head and looked somewhere far away. She saw Sue standing there, sneaking looks in
their direction. Hence, she said, "I have something to attend to, so I''ll make a move first."
When Jason heard her reply, he knew that it was pointless to ask her to stay again. He smiled and
watched her leave.
Luke, who was standing on the stage, watched the interaction. His eyes darkened. ''When did Jason
get close to Luca?''
After Luca left, Jason returned to Sue with the intention to help her distribute the leaflets and gifts from
Brilliant Architectural Design LLC.
As soon as he picked up the leaflets, Sue snatched them and said, "I don''t need your help."
Jason was confused about her angry tone. ''She''s angry?’ "Sue..." Jason picked up the gifts on the side
and held them tightly in his hands so they would not be taken away by her. "What happened?" "I''m fine.
Aren''t you busy? Go and work on whatever that you need to work on." Sue saw that he was holding
onto the gifts tightly and knew that it would be pointless to try and snatch them from him.
"I''m not busy." Jason looked at her puffed-up cheeks and suddenly understood the situation. He got
closer to her and asked, "Are you jealous?" "Me? Jealous?" Sue rolled his eyes.
Jason knew that she was saying one thing but her heart was saying another. He patiently exined,
"She''s a new talent hired by the boss."
Sue handed the leaflets to her colleagues and asked, "What kind of talent?
IsT Corporation hiring?"
Although Luke was managing Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, it was run separately from T
Corporation.
Brilliant Architectural Design LLC was Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, while T Corporation was T
Corporation.
Seeing that she had moved two steps to the side, Jason got closer and said cheekily, "T Corporation is
going to enter the pharmaceutical industry, so we went through a round of recruitment. The woman
from just now is one of thepany''s researchers."
Sue snorted. She was ufortable seeing Jason so close to other women, but when she saw that
woman, she could not bring herself to dislike her.
"A researcher who''s smart and beautiful?" She sighed, her tone did not convey any trace of envy.
"The boss hired her for her capability," Jason said while he handed out gifts to the people around him.
"Men always go for looks." Sue watched as Luke walked over, surrounded by bodyguards. She
deliberately walked farther away.
Jason wanted to catch up to her but Luke called out to him.
"Where is she?" he asked.
"Boss, are you talking about... Ms. Ivana? She left," Jason replied.
Luke nodded slightly. When he was giving the speech on stage, he saw Luca standing in the corner.
He turned and walked out. "Get the car ready, let’s head back to T Corporation."
One of the bodyguards following him immediately replied, "Got it."
When he heard that, Jason immediately put down the gifts, walked over to Sue, and whispered, "I have
to go back to T Corporation to attend to some work. I’ll pick up Kari and Teri in the afternoon."
Sue waved her hand impatiently and replied, "Go, go, you''re so annoying."

Nina overheard their conversation. After Jason left, she could not help herself from teasing Sue, "Is Mr.
Doyle annoying?"
Sue said nonchntly, ‘I have never met such an annoying man!" "You’re lying. You clearly care about
him. Otherwise, why were you jealous when you saw him talking to another woman?" "You saw it?"
Sue frowned. ''Was I too obvious just now?''
Over the past two years, Jason had been patient in re-entering her life. Although they had not held a
wedding, they had moved in together.
"I didn''t see it, I heard it. You sounded jealous," Nina said.
Jasmine, who was on the side, immediately agreed. "Yes, I noticed it too."
Sue flicked Jasmine''s forehead and said, "The adults are speaking. What do kids like you know about
jealousy?" "Aunt Sue, I know a lot about it! My aunt told me that this is how someone jealous acts!"
Jasmine said cheekily.
"Look, even kids know better than you," Nina happily said, "You’ve been living together for so long.
When do you n to have the wedding?"
