“Mm, I’m done. I want to ask you something, and I hope I’m not disturbing you,” Nina said as she


    looked at Luca. Luca looked so different in her work clothes.


    She even had a feeling that any man could be charmed by someone like Luca…


    “Don’t worry about it. Should we go to my office?” Luca shook her head and said.


    Nina smiled. “It’s nothing important. There’s a psychology conference and exhibition in A City this


    week. I’d like to go, and I’m wondering if you’re interested.”


    ‘Psychology conference and exhibition?’


    Luca was worried about Nina’s mental health. It would be a good idea if she went there. She nodded


    and said, “Let’s go, but wouldn’t it be hard to gain ess to the conference if you’re not a


    psychologist? If I recall correctly, the conference is held once every two years, and it’s not easy to get


    an invitation. We’d probably be visiting the exhibition instead.”

    “Don’t worry. I have a way to get an invitation,” Nina said.


    “Alright, I’d love to go if you can get us an invitation,” Luca said and nodded.


    Nina was happy that Luca agreed to go with her. “See you then!” She said and left.


    Zoey had been eavesdropping on their conversation. After Nina left, she said, “Dr. Craw, is that young


    woman Mr. Percy Mallory’s… friend?”


    She wanted to say “illicit lover,” but she realized that Luca seemed to be very close to that woman,


    which was why she changed her words at thest moment.


    Luca nced at her. “You seem to be interested in gossip.”


    “Heh heh. I’ve read about their rtionship in the tabloids, and I happen to remember it. Mr. Mallory is


    an outstanding man, and he rarely appeared in the papers. That’s why I remember it very well,” Zoey


    exined, seeing that Luca was getting displeased.


    “Mm.” Luca turned around and left without answering the question.


    Zoey rubbed her chin as she watched Luca leave. She wondered if she had misspoken.


    Luca was engrossed in a discussion with the other researchers. By the time she finished the


    discussion, it was already fifteen minutes past office hours.


    She remembered that Tommy was waiting for her for dinner, so she asked Rhett to tidy up the


    documents before clocking out and leaving hurriedly.


    While she waited in the elevator lobby, she sensed that the doors of the CEO’s personal elevator


    behind her slowly opened.


    Luca turned around and saw Luke standing there.


    “Mr. Crawford?” Luca was surprised. The CEO’s personal elevator was running on a different system


    from the other elevators, so the elevator should not have stopped there even if Luca pressed the button


    to go down.


    The only exnation was that Luke had deliberately wanted to stop at that floor.


    “Are you going home?” Luke asked.


    “Mm.” Luca maintained some distance between them.


    “You’re a littlete today,” Luke said. When he was about to go off work, he looked at the security feed


    and realized that Luca was still in her office.


    “I’m sorry, I was in a discussion with the other researchers earlier…” Luca thought he was unhappy that


    Tommy had to wait at her apartment.


    “I’ll send you home,” Luke said without any hint of usation in his voice.


    “It’s fine. I can catch a cab,” Luca said insistently. She did not want to have too many interactions with


    him.


    He suspected that she was an agent of the Ind of Despair, and he had a budding rtionship with


    another woman. It was inappropriate for her to be so close to him now.


    Seeing that the elevator doors were about to close, Luke held the door open and stared straight into


    her eyes. “Prepare some extra food.”


    Luca understood what he meant. He wanted to have dinner in her house again…


    “Alright,” Luca said.


    Seeing that Luca had no intention of going into the elevator, he said, “I’m picking up Tommy, so it’s


    along the way.”


    “You should pick up Tommy first while I go to the supermarket. It’ll be faster if we go separate ways,”


    Luca said. The elevator doors behind her opened, and she walked inside without turning back.


    When Luke saw that, he pulled his hand away, and the elevator doors closed.


    Luca seemed to be very busy today. She was not in her office during lunch break…


    Luke watched the numbers on the digital disy tick down until it reached the basement parking lot,


    where From the conversation earlier, he could sense that Luca was trying even harder to avoid him.


    If she were from the Ind of Despair, she would have known what happened to the impostor Bianca,


    and it was understandable that she wanted to avoid him.


    At the same time, if she were from the Ind of Despair, her reason for applying for a job at Watson


    must be to get closer to him. It would not make sense that she was avoiding him now.


    Luke found his car and drove away.


    After knowing that Luca was working overtime, he told Sean to pick up Lanie and Rainie, while he


    would pick up Tommy himself.


    His original n was to bring Luca along and see if he could find out something from her, but she had


    avoided him as usual…

    Luke arrived at Tommy’s school. Most of the children had already gone home.


    He stepped out of the car and saw Tommy sitting on a stool, so he waved at him.


    Tommy hopped off the stool when he saw Luke, and he said to the teacher, “Ms. Hand, my Daddy’s


    here.”


    “Mm. See you tomorrow, Tommy.” The teacher nced at Luke, and her heart started to beat faster.


    “Bye, Ms. Hand!” Tommy rushed up to Luke and held his hand. As they walked toward his father’s


    car, he said, “Daddy, if you’re busy, you should have gotten Uncle Sean to pick me up.”


    “Uncle Sean is busy today,” Luke said. “Also, he’s picking up Lanie and Rainie, so it’s inconvenient for


    him.”


    “You mean, it’s inconvenient for you to pick them up, thene back and send me to Ms. Luca’s


    house, right?” Tommy said. “You should ask Ms. Luca to prepare dinner for Lanie and Rainie. I believe


    they love Ms. Luca’s cooking. It’s too delicious, and Rainie said that the food reminds her of what


    Mommy used to cook.”


    Luke paused. The child’s words reminded him of something.


    If Luca was from the Ind of Despair, could she have learned how to cook from Bianca?


    After all, her cooking tasted so simr to Bianca’s cooking…


    Luke looked at Tommy.


    Tommy turned his head to look at his father and said helplessly, “Open the door, Daddy.”
