Hearing that, Luca immediately said, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll head down for dinner tonight.”
Tina nodded and repeated the doctor’s words. “Alright then, Dr. Craw. Don’t do strenuous exercise and
rest more so that you don’t burden the muscles in your waist.”
“Mm, got it.” Luca nodded.
After Tina left, shey on the bed, put theptop aside, and watched the tracking program run. She
noticed that Amur was headed toward the border.
The mission that Abel gave him was probably rted to the border trade.
Luca thought of the drugs that Abel had instructed Amur to snatch on the ck market in New York and
how Amur was currently heading toward the border. She knew that there was something illegal going
on…
She clenched her fists at the thought of Abel putting Amur in danger…
If Amur’s n failed, he would be one of the world’s most wanted criminals.
Luca yawned as she looked at the moving red dots. Amur would not arrive at his destination so quickly,
so she could still get some sleep.
She sat up, took the oral medicine prescribed by the doctor, and then fell asleep.
When she woke up again, theputer made a faint warning sound, which was the prompt that the
tracking signal was no longer moving around too much.
Luca opened her eyes and immediately sat up to check it after she realized that Amur might have
reached his destination.
She looked at the coordinates disyed on theputer screen, picked up her phone, and opened the
map to check. Surely enough, he was at the border. Moreover, the location was full of trees and the
altitude was not high. The woods were the best ce to carry out illegal trade.
Luca sighed. If this continued, she would not be able to protect Amur’s life.
When they were on the Ind of Despair, she had some value to Abel and she could use it to ensure
the safety of Eler and Amur. Since she had left the Ind of Despair, she was merely a chess piece
and Abel still had something on her…
At night, Luca noticed that Amur’s coordinates remained the same. She silently jotted down the
coordinates, exited the software, and deleted the history.
She just wanted to know where Amur was. She did not intend to put him in harm’s way.
After Luca got everything done, she changed and went downstairs for dinner.
The ointment and painkillers prescribed by the doctor were very effective. She could walk briskly to the
restaurant.
She deliberately arrived at the restaurant half an hourte when there were not many people around.
Luca ordered some spaghetti, found a corner seat, and sat down.
She enjoyed her food in peace. After a while, a person sat down opposite her.
Luca looked up and saw Jenni.
She smiled at the other party, nodded, and considered that as a greeting.
Jenni did not think so. She snorted coldly in her heart when she saw Luca’s reaction. ‘All she did is
hook up with Luke to get to the position that she’s in. Who is she to act so coldly toward me?’
“Dr. Craw, are you feeling better?” Jenni asked, hiding the dissatisfaction in her heart.

“I’m feeling much better now. Thank you for checking in.” Luca was aware of the contempt in Jenni’s
heart but she was more than happy to go along with the pretense since the other party was pretending
to care.
“I’m happy to hear. The boss was so worried about you.” Jenni probed as she put her phone with the
recording function turned on on the table.
She wanted to lure Luca into confessing her rtionship with Luke.
“Oh, is that so? Thank you for your concern.” Luca’s reply did not seem to be thanking Luke but Jenni.
Jenni also realized that. She pursed her lips and did not believe that she could not get Luca to spill the
beans.
“By the way, did you go up the mountain with the boss yesterday? I saw you getting cramps when you
swam and thought you didn’t like sports. I didn’t expect you to go hiking.”
Luca understood what she was trying to imply. ‘She must think that I look like I don’t like sports and the
sole reason I went hiking was because of Luke.’
“I like sports, except for swimming. Tina asked me to go along for the hike. I thought it’d be a waste if I
didn’t get to enjoy the beauty of nature during this wonderful time. By the way, the scenery on the
mountain is very beautiful. You can take advantage of the trip and check it out. The climb is not too
difficult,” Luca said. The hike was nothing for her.
Things would have been great if it were not for the rocks blocking the road on their way up, her fall, and
the rain that followed.
Jenni’s eyes widened.
‘She likes sports? Didn’t she go all out just to bump into Luke?’
“Oh, so that’s the case. You and Tina nned to climb the mountain together? How did you end up with
the boss? We all thought you went up the mountain with the boss,” Jenni said deliberately.
“We bumped into the boss and Mr. Doyle at the foot of the mountain, so we went hiking together. Later,
I proposed to have apetition. The boss and Dr. Craw teamed up and the two of them got stuck on
the mountain after that. This is what happened. Do you have any other questions?” Tina sat down and
answered on behalf of Luca.
Jenni was taken back. She smiled and said, “Ah, so that’s what happened. I was curious as to why Dr.
Craw went on a hike with you and ended up being trapped on the mountain with the boss. Tina, why
weren’t you on the same team as Dr. Craw? You chose to go with Mr. Doyle. Do you…”
Tina’s expression was stern when she heard what Jenni was implying. “How dare you say such a
thing?”
Jenni looked at her darkened expression and was slightly offended. She said what she said out of
anger and did not expect Tina to take it so seriously.
Except for those who were a little older, the female employees in T Corporation were all interested in
Luke. Jenni knew about all of them, and Tina was the only exception.
She suspected that Tina was not interested in Luke but was interested in Jason as they had been
working together for a while.
However, everyone knew that Jason had a wife and children, so it was likely that Tina had been
keeping it a secret.
“No, I’m just joking. Don’t take it seriously.” Jenni was afraid that Tina would go after her, so she
responded quickly. It would be Tina’s problem if she was still angry.
“Jenni, be mindful of what you say. If I hear gossip in thepany, you know what I’ll do.” Tina was
Luke’s subordinate, so other department managers could not touch her. She was not afraid of Jenni,
and neither did she think much of Jenni.
“I’m just joking, Tina. Don’t be angry.” Jenni saw how serious Tina was. No matter how upset she was,
she did not dare to say another word. She stood up and said, “I’m full. Enjoy your meal. “
Seeing Jenni leave, Tina said disdainfully, “Ugh, those with dirty thoughts can make anything dirty.”
