He had only been in Allison this vi once or twice, and he did not pay too much attention to the


    furnishings.


    However, Luca seemed to be familiar with Allison’s vi. She knew what was there without Luke having


    to tell her.


    Luke said nothing and continued to observe Luca.


    After she walked into the beauty room, she stood there and took a few nces. The skincare products


    on the shelf were not dusty because of the regr cleaning. However, she thought that the products


    were likely expired.


    “Mr. Crawford, can I take these?” Luca pointed to the bottles and jars on the shelf. There were several


    well-known international brands that she was familiar with. As for the others, although the packaging


    looked premium, she was unsure what brands they were.


    “Do you suspect that these caused my mother’s skin to deteriorate to such an extent?” Luke asked.


    Luca nodded. To be cautious, she said, “I have such suspicions, but I’ll know more after I analyze the


    ingredients.”


    “You can take all of these,” Luke said. These skincare products had expired, so Allison would not be


    able to use them even after she was released from prison.


    With his consent, Luca found a bag in the beauty room and put all the products in the bag.


    “Anything else you need?” Luke asked.


    Luca thought about it for a while. She reckoned that she would not be able to find what Allison ate


    before this. On top of that, the food would not likely be the real culprit of why her skin was aging so


    rapidly.


    She shook her head and said, “These are all used on the face. We’ll find out more after the test.”


    Luke nodded. After Luca grabbed the skincare products, they left together.


    Luca sat in his car and noticed that he was headed to T Corporation, so she did not say a word.


    Luke asked, “Do you want to study these in the office?”


    Luca suddenly remembered that all her research equipment was in her apartment and that the police


    had not released the crime scene. She looked at Luke and said, “Mr. Crawford, can you help me get all


    the equipment from my apartment?”


    The equipment was ordered by Abel on the inte in advance. If she had to ce another order, she


    was afraid that it would not be delivered so quickly.


    However, considering Allison’s situation, the earlier she could diagnose her, the earlier she could


    prescribe the right medicine to treat her.


    “I’ll try.” Luke could easily help get the equipment out of her apartment but he did not say too much in


    front of her.


    Luca nodded and reminded him, “If you can take it from my apartment, can you help send it to your


    apartment?”


    There was a lot of equipment. It would be difficult for her to move all of them to Luke’s apartment by


    herself.


    “Yeah.” Luke felt as if she knew that he had a way to get her everything that she needed. He did not


    exin anything and agreed without saying anything else.


    After they arrived at the office, Luca took the elevator from the underground parking lot to the ground


    floor instead of going in through thepany’s main entrance.


    No one saw her getting out of the car with Luke.


    After Luca returned to the floor where the researchbs were, she ced Allison’s skincare products in


    the office cab and called Rhett. She thought of asking him to help fill in a request for leave.


    Rhett touched the back of his head and said with confusion, “Dr. Craw, weren’t you working off-site


    today? Why do you need to prepare a leave application form?”


    “Off-site?” Luca raised her brows. “Who told you that?”


    “Mr. Doyle. He specifically ran to our floor and told me that you’d be working off-site in the first half of


    the day and you’d return to the officeter,” Rhett told her everything even though he was puzzled.


    Considering Luca’s reaction, it seemed that she did not work off-site.


    They were doing research, so they did not work off-site often.


    ‘What’s more, if Luca was working off-site, she could have just let me know. Why did she get Jason to


    ry the message?’


    Jason was Luke’s subordinate, so he thought that Luke had something to do with it.


    Rhett thought of the gossip circting in thepany. At first, he chose not to believe it but he


    gradually wondered if Luca and Luke had something going on.


    “Oh, I see.” Luca snapped out of it. She sighed helplessly in her heart when she saw Rhett’s


    expression. It seemed that Luke had left orders for Jason and got him to inform the department of her


    whereabouts.


    Rhett came back to his senses and asked cautiously, “Dr. Craw, do you still need me to apply for leave


    on your behalf?”


    “No. Please let the others know that we’ll have a meeting in ten minutes,” Luca said.


    “Will do,” Rhett nodded and left her office.


    Luca tidied up the documents on her table and left her office carrying her tablet.


    The floor of the CEO’s office.

    Jason walked into the CEO’s office with a cup of coffee and ced it carefully on Luke’s desk.


    “Mr. Crawford, how is Madam doing?” he asked.


    “They haven’t found anything yet and will be running the research soon.” Luke took a sip of the coffee


    and thought of Luca’s request. He said to Jason, “Luca’s apartment can be released.”


    “Yes, I’ll inform them now.” Jason understood what he meant and nodded quickly.


    “Also, after the apartment is released following the relevant processes, move all of her equipment to my


    apartment.” Luke felt that he might have not made it clear enough so he said, “Act fast.”


    “Understood, I’ll attend to it now,” Jason said. After he left Luke’s office, he quickly attended to Luke’s


    orders.


    When Luca returned to the apartment after she got off work, she saw two men in security guard


    uniforms standing at the door of her apartment. When they saw her walk in, they smiled and greeted


    her, “Ms. Luca, good evening.”


    “Good evening, you are…” Luca looked at them suspiciously.


    “Oh, Mr. Crawford ordered us to deliver these to your door. We just moved them here but you weren’t


    home yet, so we waited here,” one of the security guards exined.


    Luca looked at therge boxes on the floor and thought that these were likely her research equipment.


    “Ah, yes, I’m aware.” She nodded. “Thanks for your hard work.”


    “These boxes are very heavy. We were worried that you wouldn’t be able to move them alone, so we


    stayed here and waited. Ms. Luca, please open the door and we’ll help you move them in,” the security


    guard said.


    Luca would not refuse if they wanted to help her. She walked to the door and pressed on the code lock.


    Both security guards were street smart. When she was keying in her passcode, they turned around.


    Luca opened the door and said, “Thank you.”


    The security guard stooped to lift the boxes and said, “It’s nothing. Mr. Crawford specifically said that


    we can get a bonus if weplete the task.”


    The two of them worked together to move all therge boxes into her house.


    Luke was thoughtful and that made Luca feelplicated, but she pretended to be calm and instructed


    them to put everything in the maid’s room.


    She lived in a single apartment. The maid’s room could be considered as a second bedroom. Luca


    thought of putting all the equipment in it and doing research there so that it would not affect the


    decoration of the apartment’s living room.
