Chapter 1210 Interested in Her


    Luca did not say anything as she watched Luke press the button for the rooftop banquet hall.


    The two people remained silent during the elevator ride. No one went in or out throughout the ride, so


    they reached the rooftop rtively quickly. The elevator doors opened, and two waiters were waiting


    forthem.


    The waiters could recognize Luke. They greeted him warmly and noticed Luca that also stepped out of


    the elevator with him.


    One of the waiters recognized that she was the woman implicated in Luke’s scandal earlier.


    It was not surprising that the two people appeared at the same party. After all, one was a prominent


    businessman, and the other was a researcher in the field.


    What was surprising was that they arrived at the same time.


    Luke handed the invitation to the waiter and walked into the hall.


    Everyone in the hall noticed his arrival. Their eyes fell on Luke, and naturally, they noticed Luca too.


    She did not feelfortable being looked at, so she took a ss of champagne and went to a corner.


    She was not nning on interacting with those people anyway. After all, she worked in the technical


    department and not the sales department, and she did not need to build up awork of contacts.


    The people surrounded Luke to greet him. After greeting every one of them, he instinctively looked


    around to search for Luca.


    It did not take him too long to find Luca, who was hiding among the crowd.


    She was holding onto a ss of champagne and looked into the distance, as though appreciating the


    night view of A City.


    As one of the most prominent doctors in A City, Johann was also invited to the party. He was also


    surrounded by a group of people when he stepped into the hall.


    After dealing with those people, he walked toward Luke.


    "What are you looking at?" Johann could see that Luke''s eyes were transfixed at a particr spot. He


    followed the direction of his gaze and soon noticed Luca standing in a corner.


    He whistled softly and said, "What a beauty."


    Luke came to his senses and red at Johann.


    Johann was slightly bemused. He touched his cheek and asked Luke," What are you looking at?"


    "Don''t you think that she looked familiar?" Luke said.


    "She''s too far away, and I can''t see her clearly. She has a nice body though, I wonder if she''s single..."


    Johann said. He might be a single man, but he was willing to appreciate a beautiful body.


    "She was in the tabloids some time ago," Luke said.


    "How do you know? You don''t look like someone who would..." Johann paused mid-sentence when he


    suddenly thought of something. "Don''t tell me that she''s the woman in your scandal?"


    Luke''s gaze became ice-cold.


    Luke did not admit it, but Johann could tell that he had guessed correctly.


    "Her body is great. I bet she has a great personality too," he said.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Right after he said that, Johann could sense Luke''s aura bing dangerous. He cleared his throat


    and put on a serious face."... I think I’ll just appreciate her from afar." "Do you know who else she is?"


    Luke said., "I know that she''s one of the researchers in yourpany. Who else could she be?"


    Johann asked.


    "She was the one who diagnosed my mother-inw''s illness." Seeing that no one was around them,


    Luke whispered to Johann.


    "She?" Johann was shocked.


    It was normal for a pharmaceutical researcher to know some medicine, but they were not


    professionals, much less diagnose an illness.


    Someone who could diagnose an illness just by taking a patient''s pulse and correctly administering a


    prescription was nothing less than a savant.


    One had to consider that she was not a doctor but a researcher!


    Johann was thoroughly impressed. He had thought that the mysterious person who helped Queenie


    was an amazing doctor.


    "I didn''t expect that. I didn''t expect that at all," Johann repeated himself.


    Luke did not respond to that.


    Johann continued asking, "Have you confronted her about it? Did she admit it?" "Not yet. I''m still


    looking for an opportunity," Luke said. He could not ask her about it at the party when there were so


    many people around them. He would only get his opportunity after the party.


    "I''d like to be acquainted with her." Johann was very interested in her, but he could sense that Luke


    was somehow very possessive of her, so he dared not act rashly.


    "Go then.” Luke finished the champagne in his ss.


    "Are you sure?" Johann was quite surprised. He had never questioned Luke''s loyalty to Bianca, but he


    could tell that Luke was interested in that woman too.


    That made him even more confused than ever.


    Luke red at him coldly.


    Johann shuddered and decided that it was safer to stay away from her.


    Some timeter, a man with a microphone in his hand walked to the center of the venue. He cleared


    his throat, and the people in the hall stopped talking to each other.


    Luke looked at the man and frowned. That man was not Abel.


    The man looked around him, smiled, and began his speech. "Good evening to you, honored guests. I


    am Finn Jeffries, the deputy president of the A City Pharmaceutical Association. Mr. Abel, our


    president, could not attend the party today because of unforeseen circumstances, so I would like to


    greet all of you on his behalf. I would also like to take the opportunity to wee Watson


    Biopharmaceuticals into our association. Please enjoy yourselves, and I hope that you will take the


    opportunity to strengthen the bonds within the industry."


    There was a round of apuse after the man finished his speech.


    Luca stood in the corner, seemingly unperturbed.


    Why would Abel not attend the party? She looked around the hall. The banquet hall was in the open, so


    there were not many ces that she had to inspect. Very quickly, she noticed the surveince cameras


    hidden on top of two decorative pirs.


    Was he truly absent, or was he observing from the shadows?


    Luca tried to think about that question as she took a sip of her champagne. She realized that she could


    not understand what Abel was trying to do.


    What was he nning in his absence?


    Luca continued to look for surveince cameras.


    After the man gave his speech, everyone turned their heads to look at Luke. He raised his ss at


    them, then continued to look at Luca.


    Johann noticed that Luca''s gaze darted around her. "That prettydy seems to be looking for


    something," he said.


    Luke took a sip of champagne. "That''s none of your business," he said coldly.


    "Tsk tsk, why are you so possessive? If you don''t want other men to look at her, you shouldn''t have


    brought her to the party," Johann said mischievously.


    He knew that Luke had invited several of his employees to the party, and that was why he dared to


    make fun of him.


    Johann shuddered when he sensed Luke''s icy gaze on him. "Alright, alright.


    I admit that I''m interested in her, but it''s not like what you think."
