Luca suddenly felt uneasy.


    She had wanted to keep the blind date a secret. However, the possibility of Luke knowing about it


    made her uneasy.


    Luca picked up her phone and sent Tina a message: [Tina, do you know when Mr. Crawford returned?]


    [I''m not too sure about that. After I was done buying lunch, Mr. Crawford was already there sitting in the


    office. As for when he returned, I think it''s best if you ask Mr. Doyle.] Tina did not mention a word about


    Luke summoning her to question the incident.


    Even though she thought that Luca was a good person, it was still because of Luke''s order that she got


    close to Luca. Hence, she was not willing to reveal too much, lest Luca noticed something off and Tina


    lost a friend.


    [Alright, got it.] Luca ced her phone down. She did not ask Jason.


    She could only ask Tina about Luke''s issue as Jason was Luke''s trustworthy assistant. There might be


    a chance that Jason would inform Luke about her inquiries.


    She felt puzzled.


    After all, even though Enoch had only pestered her in the lobby for about ten minutes, she did not know


    whether Luke had stumbled into the scene.


    At that moment, her attention was focused on Enoch. She was only thinking about escaping from him


    and did not pay any attention to her surroundings.


    Seeing that 15 minutes was almost up, Luca got up and started packing the stuff needed for the


    meeting. She then headed to the meeting room.


    She thought of heading over earlier so that she would not bump into Luke in the corridor.


    After arriving at the meeting room, there were not many management executives around.


    Luca nodded at them as a greeting. Then, she sat down on her seat. She opened herptop and


    continued tranting.


    She wanted to finish a little more of her work so that she did not need to work overtimeter.


    She had no idea when would she be transferred to another ce by Abel. In other words, she was


    clueless about when would Luke find out about her actions.


    When the time came for her to be transferred, or if she was busted by Luke, she would have to


    separate from her kids.


    Luca wanted to spend more time keeping the kidspany.


    When it was almost time, Luke came to the door and immediately spotted Luca, who was sitting in her


    seat.


    She was so focussed on herptop, and her slim fingers were constantly typing on the keyboard.


    Jason had mentioned that even though Alya had returned from her leave, the workload was still very


    heavy as they had to revise the bidding document. Hence, despite both of them working on it, things


    were still quite hectic.


    Luke looked at her for two seconds and walked in.


    The atmosphere in the meeting room became serious all of a sudden.


    Even though Luca was busy, she noticed the change of atmosphere in the meeting room. The instant


    there was dead silence, she lifted her head and looked at the door.


    Luke had already made his way to the president''s seat.


    Jason pulled the chair out, and Luke sat down coldly without any expression on his face.


    Luca sneakily nced at Luke''s side profile and thought he was colder than usual.


    Had something unpleasant happened?


    Luca felt guilty. Even though she had changed her appearance, she was still the mother of their three


    kids. From the perspective of thew, she was still Bianca despite having undergone stic surgery.


    As for Bianca''s husband, it was still Luke.


    She shook her head. Even though she had gone on a blind date, Luke did not know her real identity.


    There was no reason for him to be angry.


    Even though he had said many weird things to her, such as how he insisted on moving in and staying


    with her, he never once crossed the line.


    Hence, Luca thought perhaps Luke was just joking around with her.


    She did not think that Luke''s current mood had anything to do with her.


    ''If that''s the case, is he not in a good mood because he didn''t settle Allison''s issue well or because the


    progress with the bidding document is not up to his expectations?''


    Although Luca had sneakily shot a nce at him, Luke still noticed it.


    He raised his hand and said coldly to the crowd before they could even greet him, "Start the meeting."


    After he spoke, the crowd felt the atmosphere be even chillier.


    They dared not say anything, and everyone was sitting straight, ready to be criticized.


    Jason got the presentation ready and started the flow of the meeting.


    Luca sat beside Luke and sighed to herself. Indeed, he was in a foul mood, and it was reflected in his


    tone when speaking.


    There were not many people who could affect his emotions this strongly.


    Previously, Luca used to be one of these people.


    Jason cleared his throat and started the meeting.


    Luca dared not continue sighing and quickly worked on recording the minutes.

    That meetingsted for more than three hours as each department head was lectured. Luca looked at


    Luke''s serious face and felt fortunate that she was not one of them.


    After the meeting was over, Luke got up and looked at Luca. "Meet me at the basement car park after


    half an hour."


    "Is anything the matter, Mr. Crawford?" Luca became anxious when Luke said that in front of the crowd.


    "We''re going to Watson Biopharmaceuticals for a meeting." Luke retrieved his gaze and immediately


    left the meeting room.


    Right after he left the room, everyone took a breath of relief. Their boss was way too scary today.


    An executive who was much closer to Jason could not help but ask, "Mr. Doyle, what''s up with the boss


    today? He''s in such a bad mood. Who offended him?"


    Everyone said, "Yeah, even when he was dissatisfied with our progress in the past, he has never acted


    like this."


    Jason looked at the crowd. He wanted to look over at Luca, but that would be too deliberate. He smiled


    and shook his head before continuing to keep his documents. "Don''t overthink things. Mr. Crawford is


    just dissatisfied with your work progress. Continue working overtime and amend what needs to be


    amended."


    Everyone was down when they heard it.


    Luca tidied the documents on the table and got up.


    Jason called out to her, "Dr. Craw,ter when you head over to Watson Biopharmaceuticals for the


    meetingter, I predict it''llst until after working hours. If the trantion work is overwhelming and you


    can''t finish it in time, just hand it over to Alya."


    Luca hesitated. If it were not for her having to attend two meetings back-to-back, she would be able to


    settle the trantion work that she was assigned.


    "I don''t think that''s a good idea. Alya is quite busy as well."


    "It''s her work to begin with. Besides, you still have to arrange the meeting minutes. Also, the meeting at


    Watson Biopharmaceuticals is quite important. You''re probably going to be flooded with work," said


    Jason. Luke had informed Jason to tell Luca these things.


    The man who was still angry over Luca''s matters refused to say these words to her himself.


    Luca heard this and immediately said, "Is it the meeting about Dr. Albus applying for a patent for his


    research."


    Jason smiled. "I''m not too sure about that. I''m not in charge of the issues there. But I''m guessing it


    might be possible. Besides, if it isn''t because you were transferred here to help out, you would''ve also


    applied for a patent by now, right?"


    Luca nodded.


    Her research was based on Shanks'' research, so everything could go smoothly. Even though she was


    cautious and had adjusted the dosage to maximize the drug''s effects, it would not affect the foundation


    of the research.


    If she had focused on researching this entire time, she might have seeded already.


    "Then I''ll go inform Alya." Luca eventually agreed.
