Luke looked at her deeply. He knew that Luca was smiling like that because Nina was happy.


    He did not misunderstand. He just nodded slightly and walked out of the office.

    Percy may seem cold, but he had a romantic side when he was with Nina.


    If he did not know the details, he would likely have gotten jealous of Percy for making Luca smile like


    that.


    Luca watched Luke leave. She touched her chin and wondered why he walked over.


    ''Is there work for me to do? If yes, he could''ve easily called me to notify me. But he came in and left


    without talking about work?''


    Luca was puzzled.


    When Luke returned to the office, he remembered why he went to look for Luca just now. He was in a


    daze thinking about how her smile was not for him, so he was so annoyed that he even forgot that he


    was there to talk to her about something.


    He was a little embarrassed to walk back to her office, so he picked up his phone and texted Luca.


    [Dinner at the Royal Crown Hotel tonight at seven.] He pressed ''send''. Jack Norman had requested the


    meeting.


    After he found out that Luca was Bianca, he mentioned that he wanted to chat with Luca alone, which


    was why he organized this dinner.


    Luca received Luke''s text and wondered why he was asking her out for dinner.


    ''Will I be eating alone with Luke? Or is there another asion?''


    Luca carefully replied: [Mr. Crawford, are we eating alone?]


    [It''s a business meeting.] Luke did not tell her that Jack would be there.


    Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was a business meeting. She was fine as long as


    she did not have to eat with Luke alone.


    His aura was strong. Even though she had changed over the years, she still felt uneasy facing the man


    she loved. After all, she was using a strange identity to spend time with the man.


    The previous touches and memories would pop up in her mind when she was alone with Luke, making


    it impossible for her to face himfortably.


    After work hours.


    Luke did not work overtime for the first time in a long time. He packed up his documents and went to


    Luca''s office.


    Since he had informed her in advance, Luca happened to be putting on her coat when he walked in.


    When she saw Luke, she subconsciously got nervous and asked, "Mr. Crawford, is it a formal


    asion? Do I need to change and dress up?"


    Since Luke had not told her much, she was particrly cautious.


    Luke shook his head and said, "You look fine. It''s just a business dinner."


    Luca calmed down when she heard what he said. ''It''s just business dinner, so that''s fine. I''m not going


    as Luke''s femalepanion but as his assistant.''


    "I''m ready to go." She picked up the briefcase which contained the documents that she nned to work


    on at night.


    Luke nodded and said, "Let''s go."


    Luca nodded and followed behind Luke calmly while keeping an arm''s distance.


    When they were about to reach the elevator, she looked back. ''It''s a business dinner, so why isn''t


    Jasoning?''


    Luke pressed the elevator button and happened to see Luca turning back. He reminded her coldly,


    saying, "Look ahead when you walk."


    Luca was startled, turned around, and found that she was very close to Luke.


    While she was thinking about why Jason did not have to follow along, she had unconsciously gotten so


    close to Luke. It would just take a few more steps for her to touch Luke''s back...


    "Sorry, Mr. Crawford." She lowered her head, knowing that he hated it when others touched him without


    his consent.


    That rule applied to everyone but her.


    However, she should keep her distance.


    Luke watched the elevator doors slowly open and walked in. He looked at how careful Luca seemed


    and could not help but wonder.


    ''Since when did she need to be so cautious? She doesn''t need to do so around me.''


    Luca watched him linger on pressing the elevator button and asked softly, "Mr. Crawford, are you


    waiting for Mr. Doyle?"


    "Why would I be waiting for him?" Luke stretched out his hand and pressed the underground floor


    button, where his car was parked.


    "Doesn''t he need toe to this business dinner?" Luca asked. She thought that Luke would bring


    Jason. After all, he was his assistant. She assumed that Luke asked her along so that she could be the


    trantor.


    "This business dinner has nothing to do with him." Luke put his hands in his pockets and used a cold


    expression to hide his restlessness.


    His heart would beat rapidly whenever he faced Luca.


    He had to hide his true feelings so that she would not be scared away by him.


    Luke looked at Luca''s bowed head, wondering when the days of him disguising his feelings for her


    woulde to an end.


    When they arrived at the underground floor, he stepped out of the elevator first while Luca habitually


    followed behind him.


    In the past, she would walk by his side. However, Luca could only follow behind him.


    If she fought for it, she would have a chance to stand by his side, but doing so would bring huge trouble


    to Luke. She was unwilling to do anything that might hurt him.


    "There''s still half a month left before this projectes to an end. If the bid is sessful, a reward will


    be given to all the employees involved and apany trip. Where would you rmend?" Luke


    walked to his parking space as he asked.


    ‘Company trip?’


    Luca blinked, remembering thest trip.


    She almost drowned because she got a cramp and was rescued by Luke. She was put in the spotlight


    that day...


    It was from that day that their rtionship developed, and there was a subtle whiff of romance.


    "Get in the car." Luke saw her keeping quiet and knew she was thinking about something. He walked to


    the side of the car, opened the front passenger door, and reminded her.


    The front passenger door had been opened. It was obvious that she could only sit there.


    Luke did not ask the driver to drive them, so she could not possibly sit in the back.


    Luca turned sideways and got into the car. She unavoidably came into contact with Luke’s body.


    The weather was cold, so she was wearing threeyers. When they touched, her nerves were numbed


    and she lost herself in the sensation.


    It was as though she was having puppy love once more. When one came into contact with the person


    one liked, even if it was not an ambiguous moment, it was enough to intoxicate one.


    Right after the door closed, Luca quickly covered her cheek with her hand.


    Fortunately, it was not burning hot.


    Luca watched as Luke went around the front of the car and opened the driver''s door. She acted casual


    as she fastened her seat belt and looked ahead.


    Luke noticed her fake calmness. He sat in the driver''s seat, lowered his head, and smiled slightly.


    He knew her best.


    Her seemingly natural state revealed her inner difort.


    ‘Is it because of how I had deliberately touched her just now?’
