“Mr. Doyle didn''t do anything wrong." Luca knew Luke was joking. Her lips curled up into a smile.


    She liked rxed and happy conversations like this.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    "I don''t need anyone as long as you''re here," said Luke. Luca was more important than anyone else.


    Luca''s face reddened. She could sense the hidden meaning in Luke''s words. Then, she touched her


    face. She could feel her face burning. She turned to look at the streets, and only then did she realize


    they had passed by an ancestral hall.


    "Mr. Crawford, isn''t that the ancestral hall?" Luca asked. She nced at the navigation to make sure


    that the ancestral hall she saw was their destination.


    "Yes. I''m looking for the parking lot," replied Luke.


    The main road outside the ancestral hall was a two-way street. They could not park their car here, and


    there were no parking lots in the ancestral hall either.


    There happened to be a parking lot a couple of hundred feet away. Luke parked the car there. After he


    got out of the car, he opened his car trunk and took his tools out.


    Luke brought many tools, and Luca helped him to pick up one of the measuring tools.


    "Let me carry it." Luke was unwilling to tire Luca out even though she used to do such things back then.


    "I''m your assistant today. Let me carry it. Besides, it''s not heavy at all," replied Luca. She was not a


    weak person back then, and neither was she now.


    She could do what a man could do, and she did not need any help.


    Luke picked up the rest of the tools, and the two of them slowly walked in the direction of the ancestral


    hall.


    It waste. Some vigers who stayed nearby had alreadye out. They gave Luke and Luca


    peculiar looks when they saw them.


    Luke and Luca ignored the way they looked at them.


    They came to the ancestral hall. The chief of the vige was waiting for them as they had informed him


    in advance.


    The vige chief saw them carrying so many things. He quickly asked the young people beside him to


    help carry the things for Luke and Luca.


    He came forward, looked at Luke with a smile on his face, and said, "You must be Luke. Old Master


    Crawford has already informed me. Thank you for agreeing to design the reconstruction of the


    ancestral hall for us."


    “It''s Crawfords’ ancestral hall. It’s my job," Luke’s voice was cold, but he did not give the vige chief an


    attitude.


    After all, the old master offered to take the job. As Old Master Crawford''s grandson, he had toplete


    the job on his behalf.


    "I’m d you agreed to help. At least we can save some budget for the design fees. Thank you, Luke."


    The vige chief deliberately said so to make sure that it was free of charge.


    "No problem." Luke put down the toolbox and looked around the ancestral hall that was in front of him.


    "By the way, this is Brian, and he’s Austin. They’re the students who are studying architecture in our


    vige. I knew you’d being to measure the area today, so they came to learn from you and help


    you out," the vige chief introduced the two young men who stood beside him.


    "Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford," Brian was a little too excited. He was a second-year university


    student and he knew who Luke was.


    His professors called Luke a genius architect. However, this genius had to run a multinational


    corporation. That was why he did not have many architectural works in this industry.


    However, every work he designed was a masterpiece.


    "Nice to meet you," Luke replied in a cold voice. He looked at his surroundings. The ancestral hall was


    in ruins. If it was left here like that, it might end up copsing.


    It was dangerous. That was why the vige chief wanted to reconstruct it.


    What the vige chief said proved that Luke was right about it.


    "The construction of the ancestral hall is unsafe. Many people woulde here to show their respects


    to their ancestors during the festive seasons. If the building copses, it might cause deadly idents.


    If we don''t reconstruct it, the fire department will close the building. I was left with no choice. That''s why


    I thought of asking you toe over and redesign the building. I''d like the ancestral hall to have


    features of X City with some characteristics of the Crawford family. I wonder if Old Master Crawford


    mentioned it to you before?"


    "Yes, he did," replied Luke. The vige chief had told the old master what he wanted.


    He wanted the ancestral hall to be a building like the Crawford Ancestral Home, an iconic building


    in X City. That way, the ancestral hall could be open to the public as a tourist attraction and it would be


    able to generate some ie for the vige.


    "I’m d he told you," said the vige chief with a smile on his face. Old Master Crawford had already


    told Luke. At least he did not have to repeat himself.


    Luke said, "I’m going to start measuring now."


    "Okay. I’ll leave you to it," said the vige chief. He did not know anything about architecture, so he


    sent two students who were studying architecture to help him out.


    Austin sized Luke up for a moment. He was a first-year university student. He agreed to help when the


    vige chief asked him to.


    After all, he wanted to gain more experience so that his resume would look better in the future.


    However, the man in front of him...


    Austin looked at Luke’s handsome face. This man looked ssy, and he showed elegance in his


    gestures. Was he truly an architect?


    Austin pulled Brian aside when he saw Luke putting the box on the floor and taking the tools out.


    "Brian, let''s go. I don''t think we''re going to learn anything from this man," said Austin.


    Brian looked at him in surprise and asked, “Don''t you know who he is?” "The vige chief introduced


    him just now. He''s some owner of a corporation. Isn''t it ridiculous for an owner of a corporation to do


    architectural designing?” Austin mocked. He wanted to learn something, but what could he learn from


    this wealthy man?


    Was he going to learn how to spend money extravagantly and mess around with women?


    He even brought a beautiful woman with him... Was he thinking of having apanion when he was


    lonely?


    Brian exined to Austin after he heard how dismissive he sounded, "It''s T Corporation. Your lecturer


    will tell you who he is when you proceed to your second year."


    "Nah.."


    "Stop doing that. Just leave if you don''t want to do this. Exin it to the vige chief yourself. Listen,


    the famous ancestral home in our vige was designed by Mr. Crawford. He''s the main designer. That


    building won a few international awards. You probably know about that. It was his and his team''s


    efforts. Besides, it''s not like the owner of an architectural designpany wouldn''t know anything


    about architecture. He''s been busy running hispany. That''s why he doesn''t have many


    architectural works. But ack of architectural work doesn''t mean he''s not capable of doing it. A


    capable architect doesn''t need to need so much architectural work to prove himself," said Brian.


    This was what Brian''s lecturer told him. After all, architecture was the art of designing buildings. It was


    the quality that mattered in art.


    Austin immediately took his phone out to search online when he heard Brian say that.


    Luca, who was helping Luke to arrange his tools, could vaguely hear their discussion. She could not


    help but feel amused.


    Luke''s good-looking face was indeed deceiving.


    Those who did not know him would only see him as a useless rich heir.


    However, no matter whether it was in terms of architectural design or running thepany, Luke was


    the best at it.
