“I remember that the National University is one of the top five universities in architectural design," Luca
recalled. Then, the expression on her face changed.
Only after she finished saying that did she realize what she had said.
Luca turned to look at Luke. He was calm, and he was not as surprised as she thought.
Normally, a ''foreigner'' like her should not know so much about the local universities.

She thought it was unbelievable when there was no surprised expression on Luke''s face.
Brian''s face reddened as he was embarrassed to hear Lucaplimenting his university. He shook his
head and replied, "Even though it''s in the top five, the faculty of architecture in our college is
iparable to Mr. Crawford''s college. I''m nning to sit for the entrance exam for that college and
see if I can take my master''s there in my fourth year."
Luca withdrew her gaze. She smiled and replied, "Good luck to you."
Brian nodded. Then, he changed the subject of the conversation, "Ms. Craw, did you graduate from
university with a degree in architecture?"
Luca should be nodding her head, but she graduated with a degree in biopharmaceutics in the
information she submitted to Luke.
Luca shook her head and answered, "No."
"I thought you were studying architecture. You looked like you didn''t have a problem with it when you
were working together with Mr. Crawford," said Brian.
"Those are the basics. I studied some subjects rted to architecture when I was in university." Luca
had no choice but to bite the bullet and lie to him.
Luke took a sip of the tea and gave a faint smile. Luca was bad at lying.
Luke could even feel Luca had reached her limits lying to someone when he sat beside her. Luca had
no choice but to keep on lying if he did not say anything.
Luca would not be able to hold on any longer.
"I see. Ms. Craw, you''re pretty impressive too." Brian began to admire Luca too.
Sure enough, the people around Luke were as outstanding as he was.
Brian told himself that he had to put in more effort too.
Although Austin could not be bothered to listen to their conversation, he felt like he could not fit in.
Hence, he asked, "Ms. Craw, what did you study in college?"
Luca was startled for a moment. She could not help but wonder how much longer they were going to
talk about this.
“I studied biopharmaceutics, and I studied abroad." Luca had no choice but to answer him. Then, she
turned to look at Luke.
Luke was still drinking his tea. There seemed to be a slight curve on the corner of his lips.
Was Luke happy?
Luca tried to think about what made Luke happy when they were talking to each other.
She pondered for a moment and the interesting part of their conversation was Brianplimenting the
faculty of architecture of his university.
However, Luke was not someone who would be happy to receivepliments about his university.
Many peopleplimented him on the regr, so he would not be happy just to hear someone
compleminting his university.
Hence, what amused Luke so much that made him smile?
Austin began to doubt her when he heard that she studied biopharmaceutics abroad.
Would someone who graduated abroade back to work for Luke?
Besides, it was somethingpletely different from her profession.
There must be something going on between the two of them. After all, Austin noticed that the family
name of Luke''s wife was Rayne when he was looking up Luke''s information, while the family name of
the woman in front of him was Craw.
Austin was secretly excited as though he had found out something shocking.
The waitress served their dishes on the table.
"Let''s eat. We have a lot of work to do in the afternoon." Luke''s words saved Luca from the awkward
situation.
Brian nodded and had lunch with them.
Luke only ate the dish ced in front of him as he was unfamiliar with the two boys sitting in front of
him. It seemed like they were unaware of using the serving spoon either.
Luca noticed that, but the two boys in front of them were inexperienced too. She was too embarrassed
to remind them.
She called the waitress and ordered a set meal.
It did not take long for the waitress to serve the meal. Luca looked at the meal set and frowned, "Why
did they add thetro..."
Brian was not sure about the situation. He looked at her set meal and said, "Ms. Craw, just take the
cntro away if you don''t eat it."
"But the smell of thetro will remain in the dish. It''s a waste if no one eats it. Mr. Crawford, why
don''t you eat some?" Luca ced the set meal in front of Luke.
"Okay." Luke knew what Luca meant and did not reject her offer.
Even though Luke only helped him with the food in front of him, the two boys would help themselves
with the food too. Luca noticed that, and that was why she deliberately ordered another set meal and
found an excuse for him.
Luca was as attentive as before.
After lunch, the four of them returned to the ancestral hall.
The vige chief stood in the ancestral hall and asked with confusion, “Where did you go?"
“Chief, we went out for lunch just now," said Brian.
“You''re already eaten? I brought lunch for you." The vige chief shook his head. Luke came here to
help them without charging them. That was why he asked his wife to prepare more when she was
preparing lunch.
“I''ve eaten," said Luke. He headed to the machine and began to work.
“What about these..." The vige chief looked at the lunch boxes and said helplessly.
“Chief, you can take them back," replied Brian. He sat down and continued to arrange the drawings.
“Okay. It''s better than wasting them. I''ll leave you to work." The vige chief picked up the lunchboxes
and headed out.
Austin said disdainfully, "I didn''t expect the chief to prepare lunch for us when he has always been
tightfisted."
“Chief is just trying to save money," replied Brian as he shook his head. Austin truly had a sharp
tongue.
Austin would be losing out if he behaved like that after he came out to work.
Austin did not say anything. He thought Brian said so just to please the vige chief.
The rest needed to have a good rtionship with the vige chief, but he did not need that.
Austin thought he would be leaving X City sooner orter. He would not have anything to do with X City
when the time came.
Luca did not say anything when she heard the conversation between the two young boys. She
continued to assist Luke.
Their work went smoothly as two people were there to help them. They thought they would be working
until midnight. However, theypleted their work and were done taking all the measurements by
seven in the evening.
Now, Luke had to draw the designs himself.
Brian watched Luke keep the tools back in his toolbox, and he asked excitedly, “Mr. Crawford, do you
mind taking me along with you when you''re designing?"
Luke paused for a moment. He shook his head and said, “I''m going back to A City in two days."
What he meant was that even though he took Brian along with him, he would not be able to participate
in the whole process.
That was why there was no need to do so.
Brian was disappointed when he heard that. However, his college was in X City, and the holidays were
almost over. There was no way he could head to A City.
"Okay, Mr. Crawford. I''m looking forward to seeing your design," Brian smiled and replied.
Luke left there with Luca after he packed his stuff.
Austin blew a whistle and nced at Brian, who was disappointed and mocked, “Even if he were
staying in X City, he wouldn''t ask you to go along with him. Just give up."
"How do you know that?" Brian rolled his eyes at Austin.
The two of them were not that close. If it were not for the task this time, Brian could not be bothered to
talk to Austin for another second.
