"No, I''ll wait in her office." Luke refused to let Mo interrupt Luca''s meeting and walked directly to Luca''s


    office.


    Mo hurriedly went into the pantry to prepare coffee for Luke. Then, she brought it to Luca''s office.


    She knocked on the door. "Mr. Crawford."


    "Come in." Luke sat on the sofa in the office, flipping through the magazines Luca had put on the coffee


    table.


    They were all biopharmaceutical journals.


    Mo came in with coffee and carefully put the mug on the table. "Mr. Crawford, have some coffee."


    Luke did not make a sound, and Mo dared not bother the man further. She put down the coffee and left


    the office, closing the door behind her.


    Luke looked at the contents of the journal and thought of the past.


    When Luca was still Bianca, she founded Brilliant Architectural Design LLC on her own. At that time,


    there were weekly architectural magazines on her office sofa.


    Now that she was engaged in biopharmaceutical research, her table was full of biopharmaceutical


    journals.


    She was serious no matter what she did.


    Luke loved Luca and her seriousness. She did not just show momentary enthusiasm but intense


    diligence.


    He had seen Luca''s research application this time. The research was solely focused on drugs for liver


    disease treatment, and he knew why Luca chose this research.


    She had regrets in her heart.


    No matter what her research prospects were, Luke would support her research.


    The meetingsted until noon. It was lunchtime, and they had not gone through the agenda for the


    meeting. Nevertheless, Luca still paused the meeting to let everyone have lunch first. They would


    continue the meeting in the afternoon.


    The meeting thatsted for several hours was very tiring. Last night, she did not have a good rest


    either. Luca dragged her exhausted body back to the office.


    It was lunchtime, so Mo had already left the office and gone downstairs for lunch. No one told her that


    Luke was waiting in the office.


    Luca saw the man sitting on the sofa when she pushed open the door and said in surprise, "Luke, why


    are you...”


    Her words stopped abruptly because she remembered that she was in the office now. She should not


    address Luke so intimately.


    "I''m here to see you. Is the meeting over?" Luke asked. It had been 28 hours since they had seen each


    other. He missed Luca very much.


    He took advantage of the afternoon break toe over.


    Luca realized that Luke might be missing her when he showed up. She blushed, closed the door, and


    shook her head. She said, "Not yet. We''ll continue in the afternoon."Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She understood that people were less productive on an empty stomach, so she gave the research


    team some time for lunch even when she did not feel like eating.


    Luke noticed the tiredness in her eyes, stood up, and said, "Come on. I''ve booked a private room at a


    nearby restaurant."


    Initially, Luca wanted to use her lunch break for a nap. Then, she nned to eat some biscuits just to


    fill her stomach when she woke up so that she could relieve her fatigue and not be hungry at the same


    time.


    However, when Luke proposed to take her to lunch, she did not hesitate. She nodded and said, "Okay."


    The two left the office.


    They kept their distance.


    Luke wanted to hold Luca''s hand to tell the whole world that she was his woman, but this would bring


    trouble to Luca. Luke could only hold back this thought.


    When Luke and Luca stepped out of the elevator together, it caused quite a stir.


    However, Watson''s staff just watched and dared not discuss anything in front of their bosses.


    Once Luca left Watson by Luke''s side, the staff started whispering.


    "That man looks familiar. Isn''t he Mr. Crawford?" A staff member stood there in a daze.


    She was on her way to lunch, but she stood there in a daze when she saw Luke and Luca walking


    together. It was not until Luke and Luca got off the elevator and the elevator door closed that she


    regained herposure and asked the colleague next to her.


    Her colleague to whom she asked the question rolled his eyes and said, "What''s the matter? You don''t


    even recognize the boss? I think you must not want this job anymore."


    The employee blushed and exined her failure to notice sheepishly, "Hasn''t it been a long time since


    we saw the boss?"


    "Thepany just built a team some time ago, and the boss even personally awarded bonuses to Dr.


    Craw''s team. Your memory is failing you."


    "Now that you''ve reminded me..." The employee exined said, "The way that Mr. Crawford walked


    with Dr. Craw... Didn''t the boss mention that he doesn''t manage thepany''s affairs? I heard that a


    new general manager from T Corporation will join soon to handle the boss'' affairs here."


    "I''ve heard about this too, but it''s normal for Mr. Crawford to seek out Dr. Craw. Dr. Craw started a new


    research project today, so he probably wants to talk about this." As they discussed, she kept her eyes


    on the door for a long time.


    Although she did not dare to look at Luke to his face, she could look at his back freely.


    "Is their rtionship normal?" The employee was suspicious. She had only been here for a year and


    did not know what had happened before.


    "It''s normal." The other employee nodded.


    It was not the first time that Luke had appeared in Watson and met with Luca alone.


    The people in the office had also been talking about it recently, wondering why Luke had note


    looking for Luca and if Luca had fallen out of favor.


    This topic was talked about not long ago, but right now, Luke''s behavior told them the answer.


    "In your words, Mr. Crawford and Dr. Craw are..." The new employee hesitated to speak, worried that


    someone would tell Luke what she said, so she just shut up.


    Luca knew that walking with Luke would definitely cause a sensation.


    However, she never expected them to view her rtionship with Luke in this way.


    Watson''s staff now recognized Luca''s professional ability, but that did not change their minds. Luca


    was Luke’s paramour...


    Even if Luca knew what they were saying, she could not change those people''s minds. She could not


    tell them that she was not Luke''s mistress but Luke''s legal wife!


    Without more evidence, how could anyone believe that she was Bianca Rayne?


    Even her intimate lover, who used to be with her day and night, would not believe that she was Bianca


    before a DNA test as evidence.


    Luca''s heart was bitter. She followed Luke into a restaurant with downcast eyes.


    Luke told the waiter thest few digits of his mobile phone number, and the waiter took him to a private


    room.


    He had gotten Jason to pre-order food early in the morning. After the waiter confirmed the dishes, he


    walked out of the private room and closed the door for them.


    In an instant, the noise outside was separated by the private room door.


    People outside could not hear their conversation.


    Luca picked up the lemonade, took a sip to moisten her throat, and then slowly asked, "Mr. Crawford,


    what do you want to tell me?"


    Luke picked up the lemonade. He did not bring it to his mouth but reminded her, "There are no


    outsiders now."


    Luca was silent. After a while, she called his name, "Luke."
