"So, that''s how it is." Luca nodded, indicating she understood.


    Upon arriving at the office, both of them stepped out of the elevator at the same time.


    Tina looked at the time and said, "I think Alya has already arrived at the office. Why don''t I bring you


    over so you two can introduce yourselves?”


    Luca knew that Alya was the trantor who had juste back from her pregnancy leave. She nodded


    and said in agreement, "Alright."


    After all, they would be working together for the next half a month. It would be a wise move to introduce


    herself to her now.


    Tina entered the secretary''s office and indeed, Alya was already sitting inside. Tina greeted her with a


    smile. "Alya, long time no see. I''ve been waiting for you to return to work. How have you been? Is your


    baby obedient?"


    Alya looked at Tina and smiled. "Long time no see. The baby is obedient. If it isn''t because the


    company needed me to return, I really wouldn''t want my pregnancy leave to end. I want to apany


    my baby longer."


    Tina smiled and made an introduction. "Here, let me introduce you to Dr. Craw. During this period,


    she''s been the one taking over your job. It''s going to be a little hectic for theing half a month, so


    our boss decided to have you two work on the trantion jobs together. Dr. Craw, this is Alya."


    Luca looked at Alya who was standing before her. She was different from other mothers who had just


    delivered. She maintained her figure very well. Hence, her figure was still slim even after just giving


    birth.


    She smiled and greeted Alya, "Nice to meet you, Alya."


    "Nice to meet you, Dr. Craw." Alya had been hearing about Luca for a long time. She was a researcher


    at Watson Biopharmaceuticals. However, due to some special reasons, her entire researchboratory


    was shifted to T Corporation.


    Besides, their boss even freed out an entire floor just for it.


    During her leave when she was unable to work, Luca took up her job and became a Russian trantor


    for thepany as well. Furthermore, their boss even gave her her own office on the top floor.


    None of the trantors in thepany had ever received such treatment. Hence, the news about Luca


    receiving special treatment had already spread to their department.


    Alya secretly rejoiced that Luca''s original job was not as a trantor. Otherwise, she would not have


    been able to keep her job here.


    After all, the treatment Luca received had surpassed any treatment a regr trantor could hope to


    get.


    After introducing herself, Luca returned to her office. Yesterday, she brought her iplete work back


    home because she had to bring the kids to celebrate Jack and Queenie''s wedding anniversary with


    them at thest minute.


    She nned to finish what was left of her work before she was assigned more work.


    After two hours, Luca''s phone rang.


    She looked at it and saw a new message. She clicked into it, and it was a message from Luke,


    informing her that he was already on the ne and was about to take off.


    Her finger swiped over gently, and she looked at the message for half a minute. After thinking for some


    time, she replied: [Have a safe trip.]


    On the other hand.


    Luke received Luca''s message that just contained four words. Despite just looking at the words on the


    cold screen, he could still feel the warmth.


    The announcement was soon yed, informing passengers that the ne was about to take off.


    Luke set his phone into flight mode and ced it in his pocket.


    Allison, who was sitting beside him, had seen everything he did earlier. She had also spotted the smile


    on his face and was feeling uneasy.


    Apart from Bianca, her son treated everyone else coldly—even her. After growing up, he seldom


    showed a smile on his face.


    However, earlier, he was smiling while looking at his phone.


    "Is it news about Bianca?" Allison asked. She had not seen her daughter-inw since getting


    imprisoned.


    She heard that Bianca had lost her memory, and since then, she had never once visited Allison. As her


    mother-inw, she found Bianca''s behavior very inappropriate.


    Only after she was released from prison did she learn that Bianca had ditched her family and gone to


    travel abroad.


    As a mother-inw, she was definitely dissatisfied. Bianca, as her daughter-inw, did not carry out her


    filial duties when Allison was sick.


    However, Allison did not fly into a temper.


    That was because she knew that Luke cared about Bianca.


    Furthermore, she currently relied on Luke. If she were to talk bad about Bianca in front of him, she


    would be despised by him.


    With how much Luke cared about Bianca, he would probably not hesitate to abandon her for Bianca''s


    sake. Hence, no matter how much trouble Allison caused, she would never drag Bianca into her mess.


    "No." Luke kept his phone. Despite knowing that Luca was Bianca, he could not treat Luca as Bianca.


    He would not do that in front of other people as well.


    Otherwise, it would risk exposing Luca''s status. There was definitely a reason why she was not willing


    to expose her identity right now. Perhaps there would be a great danger if her identity was exposed.


    Luke was not willing to witness that scene. Hence, he allowed her to continue putting on an act to


    deceive him and others.


    Allison pulled on her mask a little and said, "If it''s not about Bianca, why were you smiling?"


    Luke did not say a word.


    Allison continued asking, "Since my return, I''ve never received a call from Bianca. You and her..."


    Before she finished speaking, Luke interrupted, "She lost her memory and is currently traveling abroad.


    She doesn''t remember you."


    Allison pouted. "Even if she doesn''t remember me, you guys would''ve still mentioned me, right.


    Luke did not say a word.


    Allison said, "In the past, you were always eager to cling to Bianca after you got off work. Now, you


    allowed her to travel abroad by herself. Did you have a change of mind."


    Luke still did not say a word. He listened to the announcement on the ne. He folded both his arms


    across his chest, and from his expression, it could be seen that he refused to talk.

    Allison continued saying when she saw him not talking, "Actually, she''s not that great of a woman to


    begin with. Anyway, I don''t like her being my daughter-inw. Besides, I heard that she was taken to an


    improper environment after she was met with that incident. If you have no feelings for her anymore,


    then just hurry and leave her. You don''t have to worry about offending the Norman family. Even though


    Jack currently holds a very high position, he can''t do anything if you bring up his daughter''s past.


    Besides, with the Crawford family being so powerful, who do you have to be afraid of?


    She had always been dissatisfied with Bianca. Even when Bianca reunited with Jack and Queenie,


    Allison was still dissatisfied.


    Seeing now that Luke had another woman by his side, Allison hurriedly advised him.


    Luke did not say a word. It was as if Allison''s nagging was not directed toward him as he shut his eyes


    and ignored her.


    Allison saw that he was not giving her any reaction and continued to say, “I''m saying all this for your


    own good. I heard that Yuri''s family has expanded their business. If Louis agrees, they''ll definitely


    support Louis ande for your position. Now, Bianca is abroad and the Crawford family no longer


    needs to rely on political power. You don''t like Bianca anymore, so just get rid of her. Go find a young,


    pretty woman with clean family background. It''s much better than waiting for that woman."


    "My feelings for Bianca have never changed in the slightest." Luke suddenly opened his eyes and


    looked at her.
