Luke noticed she was evading his gaze and was feeling helpless.


    She failed to make out the helplessness and frustration in his eyes.


    "You''re indeedte, Dr. Craw. Say, how should I punish you?" Listening to Luke''s deep voice, it


    sounded like he was angry.


    Luca was astonished as Luke was not the type to mutter gibberish.


    She thought he would just coldly say, ''Get in the car.'' After all, she was not actuallyte.


    However, Luke did not act the way she expected and asked her directly how he should punish her.


    The word ''punish'' was usually used as a joke between couples, parents speaking to their children, or


    even teachers speaking to their students. This sort of thing was not something that a boss would say to


    his subordinates.


    "Hmm?" Luke voiced out after noticing that Luca had yet to reply.


    Luca felt that something was off about Luke. She had no choice but to say, "Mr. Crawford, I don''t think I


    should be punished.”


    "Tell me your reasoning." Luke saw her lower her head and wanted to lift her chin with his hand before


    kissing her.


    "I arrived here eight minutes earlier than the time you stated. Logically speaking, I''m notte," Luca


    exined. This was not how one survived in the workce, but she had to say it.


    ''Otherwise, will I really be punished by Lyke?''


    "Then tell me, are you in the wrong?" Luke squinted his eyes. ''After changing her identity, she has


    gotten better at talking, so how could she allow a man like that to keep pestering her?''


    Luke was mad.


    Luca felt chilly. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. "It''s my fault for making my superior wait


    for me, but this is about principals at work. I''m not really at fault here."


    Luke heard her debating with him and felt helpless. He pulled the door of the driver''s seat and said,


    "Get in the car."


    Luca let out a deep breath of relief. That issue was finally over. She quickly got around the car and


    opened the door of the front passenger seat before getting in.


    Luke ignited the engine and headed toward Watson Biopharmaceuticals.


    Luca thought the incident was over, but when they got out of the parking lot, she realized it was not.


    The moment the car left the car park, Luke mmed on the gas pedal as if he was in a hurry. She


    knew that all men would unleash their frustration by driving fast.


    She grabbed the seatbelt in front of her, not saying a word. Since it was not after working hours, there


    were not too many cars on the road.


    She knew that Luke had good driving skills.


    Luca was not worried about meeting with an ident on the road but was worried he might be stopped


    by the traffic police. With that, news about the president of T Corporation speeding on the road and


    endangering the citizens'' life would be in the headlines the next day.


    Luke stared hard at the road ahead and had no intention of slowing down.


    As for the woman in the front passenger seat, she was not in shock and did not say a word.


    Luca was much more mature.


    After three years, she was not anxious when sitting in a car that was going at full speed.


    Luke continued mming the gas pedal and asked, "Aren''t you scared?"


    Luca was very calm. "Your driving skills are good, Mr. Crawford."


    "Luca, your carefree appearance makes me have the urge to just dig out your heart and draw out your


    blood just to see whether or not you''re a cold-blooded person." Luke clenched the steering wheel, and


    the veins on the back of his hands were popping out.


    Luca was stunned. ''What does he mean by that?''


    "Mr. Crawford, I don''t get what you''re trying to say." Her expression remained the same.


    Luke heard what she said and got even more frustrated. "Luca..."


    Listening to him shout her name made Luca dumbfounded. She knew he was angry.


    She did not say a word as she knew whatever she said would only be adding oil to the fire.


    "You''re indeed cold-blooded." Luke breathed out but was still unable to get rid of the frustration within


    him.


    ''Maybe,'' Luca lowered her head and thought inwardly.


    ''If I''m not cold-blooded, how can I withstand seeing him and the kids being so sad?''


    Luke gave a honk and overtook the car in front of him. He could not help but question her, "Why do you


    attend the blind date?"


    Luca lifted her head and was astonished. ''So, he does know about it.''


    "Exin." Luke''s face tilted to the side as he asked her. He wanted to hear her exin it.


    "Mr. Crawford, it''s my freedom to choose whether or not to attend blind dates. I''m not young anymore.


    Isn''t it normal for me to go on blind dates, get a boyfriend, and then get married and give birth to


    children?" Luca did not say the true reason but said something that might make others believe her.


    Luke was mad because she went for the blind date, which meant he really cared about her.


    However, she could not make the man take another step. Hence, she did not tell him the truth, which


    was that she attended the blind date just because she did not want Jack and Queenie to worry.


    "Married? Luca, are you even taking my words seriously?" Luke got angrier when he heard Luca''s


    exnation.


    ''Could it be that after three years, she has really forgotten about this family, me, and the kids? Is she


    mad at me for having done nothing in the past three years?'' "Mr. Crawford, what you said back then


    was just nonsense said in the spur of the moment.” Luca became cold-hearted and wanted to draw the


    line between them. She was not willing to have them both develop deeper feelings for each other.


    "Nonsense, huh? Luca, do you wish for me to tie you on the bed? Will you then realize whether or not


    the things I said are the truth or just utter nonsense?” Luke drove faster, reaching the limit.


    "Enough, Mr. Crawford!" Luca felt a pinch in her heart when she heard what Luke said. She interrupted


    him, saying, "You''re my boss, not my boyfriend. For two people to get into a rtionship, their feelings


    must be mutual. Thanks for taking a liking to me, but I don''t like you. It''s impossible for us to be


    together!"


    Luke''s eyes became red. It was not because he was speeding but Luca''s reply.


    After three years had passed, she actually said such a thing. She was ruthlessly shoving him away


    again!


    "Do you mean it?" Luke suddenly slowed the car down and felt defeated.


    He wanted to do everything possible to make Luca tell the truth, but he could not be too greedy.

    It was not a simple feat for them to have reunited. He would not just give up like this.


    "I mean it. Both of us don''t have a future together. Mr. Crawford, please spare me. I really love my


    work. If you force me just because you''re my boss, I''ll leave thepany," Luca said coldly, but deep


    inside her, she was hurt as well.


    She wanted to be together with Luke and live a peaceful life with the kids.


    However, she could not do so...


    It may seem that they were very close together, but in fact, there was a huge gap between them.


    Luca lowered her eyes and felt the speed of the car gradually reducing. It was back to the normal


    speed. She let out a breath of relief.


    "As you wish," Luke said those words through gritted teeth.


    He did not expect her to threaten him and say she would leave thepany just to maintain a distance


    from him.


    ''It seems like throughout these three years, Luca has learned how to be a cold-hearted person.''
