Zoey hurriedly walked out and said, “Dr. Craw, are you going to theb?"


    Luca stopped in her tracks and looked back at her. "Yes, what is it?"


    "Dr. Craw, Mr. Crawford is waiting in your office..." Zoey informed her. Luke had juste downstairs


    looking for Luca. After learning that she still had not returned from her meeting at Watson, he decided


    to wait here.


    After hearing that Luke was waiting for her, she started to feel all warm inside. She turned around and


    made a gesture to Rhett, signaling him to go in first.


    Rhett nodded and walked toward theb.


    Luca looked back at Zoey and asked, "How long has Mr. Crawford been waiting?"


    Zoey nced at the time and replied, "About ten minutes. He knew that you were still in a meeting at


    Watson, so he went straight into your office without telling me to inform you."

    Luke was the boss of thispany, after all. Hence, she watched him walk into Luca''s office without


    stopping him.


    "Got it." Luca turned around and walked back to her office.


    Since Luke was there, she could not leave him hanging just for the sake of work.


    Luca pushed the door open to see the man sitting on the couch with his phone in his hands. His eyes


    were glued to the phone screen.


    She knew that he was not ying games on his phone but dealing with work.


    In the hands of others, a phone could provide all kinds of entertainment—shows, chatting, or games.


    However, in Luke''s hands, he mostly used it for work.


    He was either dealing with emails and files or talking to relevant people about work.


    "Mr. Crawford, what brings you here?" asked Luca as she closed the door so that passersby could not


    peek inside.


    "I''m waiting for you to get off work." Luke put down his phone and looked at Luca with tenderness from


    deep down inside him.


    Get off work?


    Luca said in dismay, "I''m afraid I won''t be done early today, Mr. Crawford. If you''re getting off work,


    perhaps you can go back first."


    "Did you forget the promise you made to the children?" Luke reminded her.


    Yesterday, Luca had promised to take Old Master Crawford''s pulse, but it was only Friday today...


    “I might need to go on a business trip to the next city for the next two days, so I won''t be here," Luke


    said resolvedly, and because of that, he had set the dinner tonight.


    He presumed that Luca would be able to make time for it, so he did not notify her in advance.


    "In that case, wait for me to pack my things," said Luca as there was no way she would go to Crawford


    Manor alone. Besides, Susan already thought that she had an ulterior motive. Therefore, to avoid any


    disputes, she would choose to go only when Luke was going—even if she was only going to take Old


    Master Crawford''s pulse.


    With Luke there, Susan would restrain herself from provoking her.


    "Take your time. It''s still early," said Luke as it was the usual time to get off work, so they would not be


    late.


    Moreover, he had informed them that he would be bringing Luca and the kids back for dinner tonight at


    thest minute. Hence, the cooks and the maids must be busy making more sumptuous dishes right


    now.


    After all, Old Master Crawford liked Luca.


    Luca hurriedly packed up the files on her desk and put them in the safe.


    Luke looked at her scurrying figure and casually asked, "Were you at Watson for a meeting?"


    "Yes." Luca nodded as she entered the safe''s password in front of him without trying to cover it up.


    The wholepany belonged to him anyway. If he wanted the information in the safe, he did not even


    need the password. He could just carry the entire safe away.


    "What was the meeting about?" asked Luke.


    After bringing up the contents of the meeting, Luca put the files into the safe and closed the door to turn


    around and look at Luke. "It was about the next quarter. Because of Dr. Albus'' situation and Dr. Cole''s


    failed research, the general manager was very anxious and wanted to us to produce some sales as


    soon as possible. So, the development n for the next quarter was decided in advance."


    Luke nodded without making anyments.


    Luca had nned to inadvertently reveal the general manager''s wrongdoings when Luke asked further,


    but she did not expect him to not say a word.


    Her expression was somewhat hesitant and uneasy.


    "What''s wrong? Is the n putting too much pressure on you?" asked Luke.


    He was concerned about Luca as her experiment was at the forefront of Watson. This meeting about


    the next quarter''s ns would definitely put a lot of weight on her shoulders.


    "No, it''s just that the general managermbasted the professors there because of Dr. Albus'' matter,


    saying that it was a message from above. Mr. Crawford, was that your intention?" Luca decided to say


    it directly.


    She would rathere off as emotionally unintelligent to Luke than to see Abel''s n seed.


    Even if the general manager was not working for Abel, he still did not bring anything to the table in


    terms of Watson''s development.


    "No." Luke understood that she was uneasy because of the general manager''s behavior.


    He guessed that Luca was concerned about him and that the general manager''s behavior would affect


    the professors'' impression of him, which would eventually affect thepany.


    Luke was very calm, and the expression on his face remained unfazed. However, he was in fact


    uncontrobly jumping up and down with joy inside.


    Luca cared about him!


    He simply denied it without criticizing and asking too much.


    Luca understood him.


    Although Luke did not say much, it did not mean that he did not care. Moreover, Luke had personally


    invited several old professors there, which indicated his determination to be at the top in the


    pharmaceutical industry. Hence, there was no way he would not deal with this matter.


    Therefore, she was relieved that Luke would handle it.


    After sessfully letting him know about it, Luca let out a sigh of relief and picked up the briefcase at


    the side. “Mr. Crawford, I''m done."


    “Let''s go, then." Luke nced at the time on his wristwatch and said, "Zander must''ve picked up the


    kids by now too."


    Luca nodded. Getting off work with him while talking about the kids... It seemed like something a


    married couple would do.


    She knew that she could not long for this kind of life, but she could not help but feel happy.


    It was all because she loved Luke so much.


    Even if they were not intimate, she cherished these little memories several times more.


    The two of them walked out of the office together.


    Zoey sat on her office chair and watched as Luke and Luca left together. Luca clocked out at the punch


    card machine next to the elevator while Luke waited beside her.


    The two stood there, and although they did not behave intimately, they looked like the perfect match.


    Zoey watched from afar, and it seemed as though she could sense the gentleness from Luke that he


    usually did not show to the public.


    This scene was too beautiful.
