Russian food tasted nd to them. Hence, Luca''s home-cooked meal smelled so good that it made
them hungry.
Jason was looking forward to it too.
Luca walked into the kitchen and took the tes and cutleries out. Then, she ced them in front of
Luke and Jason. She said, “There aren''t many ingredients and spices avable here, so the food might
not taste as good."
Spices such as oregano, rosemary, and thyme were not avable in the hotel.
Luca tried using Russian ingredients to prepare Western food.
There were four dishes and soup on the table. Jason swallowed his saliva and suppressed the urge to
immediately pick up his spoon to grab some of them.
After all, Luke was still here. He should not be in a rush.
Luca filled their bowls with soup for them. Just then, Luke''s phone vibrated.
Luke picked up his phone, nced at it, and said, "They''ve already decided on the meeting time."
"Boss, when is it?" Jason asked. They had beenmunicating with the office in the Capital for the
whole day while they were busy with T Corporation''s work matters.
After all, they had to dy their return dates. Hence, they did not waste their time while they were
waiting here. Otherwise, their work would pile up. When they went back, they would have to work
overtime.
"The day after tomorrow." Luke put his phone down.
"So, we''ll have to wait until the day after tomorrow," Jason spoke hesitantly.
"Is there something you''d like to say?" Luke picked up his bowl and the spoon. Then, he took a sip of
the soup. The taste of the soup was just like how it used to be. Perhaps it was because the soup did
not need so many spices.
"Boss, I think the first party seems to be acting strange this time. They amended the requirements and
postponed the meeting at thest minute. It seems like they''re making things convenient for some
companies," exined Jason. If Jason''s analysis was correct, then their efforts thatsted for a few
months would be in vain.
"It could be." Luke knew it well. However, he was not anxious about it even though they were doing
such a thing.
"Boss, aren''t you worried that—"
"They''re not going to decide on the winner in advance," said Luke. He was not worried about it.
Luke could briefly understand what was going on with thepany.
They were making things easier for certainpanies, but they could not decide who would win the
bid.
That was why they postponed the meeting.
Another reason why Luke could stay calm was that he had evidence.
Jason did not say anything when he listened to Luke''s tone of voice. He knew Luke must know
something about it.
Well, Luke was the boss. He had been in the business world for years. How could he not know what
was going on?
Luca did not say a word. She sat down and began eating her dinner.
T Corporation was meant to fail in thispetition, with or without an insider in thatpany.
Luke received a call from Ray after dinner.
Ray invited them over to his vi for a gathering.
Luke agreed to go over, then he looked at Luca and said, “Ray invited us to his vi to meet him.”
“Mr. Crawford, can I not go?” Luca asked. She reckoned Ray was still looking for Vivian. She was
afraid that she could not help but blurt everything out if she followed them to Ray''s house.
Luca had promised Vivian not to tell anyone.
However, she could not bear to see Vivian''s family worrying about her. That was why it would be best
for her not to go to Ray''s house.
“Give me a reason.” Luke did not agree right away.
“I''ve been walking the whole day. I''m tired and would like to rest,” replied Luca.
"Alright." Luke turned to look at Jason, who was still drinking his soup. He asked, “Are you done?"
"Boss, I''m done." Jason put down his bowl immediately. He had been eating Russian food for each
meal since he came here. Luca''s home-cooked food was delicious.
Therefore, he was reluctant to waste any of it.
Luke threw the napkin on the table and said to Jason, "Wipe your mouth and get ready to depart."
"Alright, Boss." Jason picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. Then, he stood up, picked up his
phone, and informed the hotel to get the car ready.
Jason pushed Luke, who was in his wheelchair, out of the suite after the hotel told him that everything
was ready.
There was a sudden silence in the big suite, and Luca was left alone.
Luca did not feel rxed even though Luke was not there. What she had done was like a rock sitting
on her chest, and it made it difficult for her to breathe.
A driver from the hotel was driving the car. He sent Luke and Jason to Ray''s vi.
Ray had sent someone to wait for them at the entrance once he knew that Luke and Jason had
departed from their hotel. The hotel''s car had juste to a halt. The man at the entrance came
forward politely and helped Luke get out of the car.
However, the man who was sent to wee them was not professional enough. Hence, he made Luke
look like he was in a fluster.
Luke was reminded of Luca when he saw the cast on his leg.
Luca was petite, but she was strong and steady when she was helping him up.
The man who came to wee them was embarrassed when he looked at Luke, who was sitting in his
wheelchair. "I''m sorry, Mr. Crawford. I didn''t mean it."
Luke looked at the burly-looking man. He did not intend to hold him ountable. Instead, he asked,
"Where''s Mr. Ray?"
"Boss is already waiting in the house. Let me push you in," said the man.
Jason dared not to let the man push Luke''s wheelchair. He almost made Luke fall when he was helping
Luke to get out of the car.
"I''ll do it," said Jason.
The man smiled embarrassedly and stood aside to make way for Jason. Then, he said, "I''m sorry. A
tough guy like me has never done something like this before."
Jason pushed Luke''s wheelchair and reminded him, "Please lead the way."
"Oh, okay. This way, please." The man walked in front of them as he led the way.
The three of them walked across the front yard and into the house.
"Boss is right inside. Please go ahead," the man said respectfully.

Jason nodded and pushed Luke into the house.
Ray sat on the sofa in the living room while waiting for them. He stood up immediately when he saw
theming in. "Luke, you''re here."
Luke nodded.
Ray pushed Luke''s wheelchair near the sofa.
Luke held the sofa''s armrest and stood up. He hopped and sat on the sofa.
Then, Jason moved the wheelchair away.
"Hansen, bring Mr. Doyle to the lounge area," Raymanded. He had something to discuss with
Luke.
"Mr. Doyle, this way, please," said Hansen.
Jason waved his hand to Ray and left the living room together with Hansen.
Ray lifted his hand, and the others who were in the living room left too.
Luke looked at Ray''s face. His chiseled face was full of distress.
"You haven''t found Vivian yet?" Luke asked.
Ray grew even more distressed when Luke mentioned Vivian. Ray let out a sigh and shook his head.
"Perhaps I can help," said Luke.
“Do you know where Vivian is?" Ray looked at him with surprise. His men had been looking for Vivian
at every hotel, but there was still no sign of her.
Ray had so many subordinates, and they had spent the whole day looking for her, yet they found
nothing.
Luke had no power or subordinates in Russia. How could that be possible...
"My subordinate saw Vivian today. Perhaps you can head to Ostin Hotel to look for her," said Luke.
Gale was the one who told Luke that Vivian was staying at Ostin Hotel. Rain failed to track Luca down
yesterday. Hence, Gale was responsible for following Luca today. ording to what Gale told him,
when Luca walked out of the clinic, she ran into Vivian.
