After Luke put on the clothes, Luca helped him arrange the essories, such as cufflinks,


    handkerchiefs, and pens. He ced them where they belonged.


    Atst, she frowned and looked up at him. "Isn''t it too formal?"


    "Let''s skip the handkerchief," replied Luke.


    "That''s a good idea. I''ll just put some wet wipes in my bagter." Luca agreed and took away the


    handkerchief. "That''s much better. Let me help you with your tie."


    She picked up a neatly ironed tie and skillfully tied it for him. She then smiled in satisfaction. "You look


    handsome."


    "Really?" Luke had been hearingpliments about his looks countless times since he was young, but


    Luca''s praise always made him the happiest.


    Luca nodded. "Yes, my man is undeniably handsome."


    She could clearly see a hint of a smile in Luke''s eyes when she praised him, so she continued praising


    him.


    Luke was very pleased.


    "Bea, praise me more in the future, okay?" Luke’s eyes sparkled as he spoke.


    "Sure, I''ll give you morepliments in the future," replied Luca. She thought of giving him a kiss but


    stopped when she remembered she had just applied lipstick.


    She took the initiative to hold his hand and said, "Let''s go. Warren is already waiting for us."


    "Yes, and Evan," replied Luke. When Warren received his instructions to pick them up, Evan also came


    along in the car.


    As they reached the door, Warren was already waiting there.


    "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, please get in the car," said Warren as he opened the two rear doors.


    Luca and Luke got into the car together.


    Evan sat in the passenger seat and greeted them cheerfully, "Mr. Crawford, Dr. Craw, good morning."


    "Good morning, Mr. Turner," greeted Luca. Since he still addressed her as Dr. Craw, she decided to call


    him Mr. Turner.


    Evan smiled and heard Luke say, "Morning."


    Evan raised an eyebrow. Indeed, Luke was a man of few words...


    He waspletely different fromst night''s dinner. It seemed that alcohol could make people talk


    more than usual.


    Warren did not engage in conversation with them. After Luke and Luca got into the car, he followed suit


    and drove toward the venue.


    Evan remained quiet for a few minutes but could not resist asking, "Mr. Crawford, who are you sending


    to help me? I still don''t know who it is. How should I contact himter?"


    "Someone will contact youter. Don’t worry," replied Luke. Gale had everything arranged.


    As for whether Gale or someone else from the venue would handle it, Luke was not sure. That was


    why he did not introduce Gale to Evan.


    Gale was one of his trusted assistants. Evan probably did not know about him yet.


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Luke did not want to expose Gale in front of Evan.


    However, everything depended on the situation at the venueter.


    They had a n, but executing it depended on the specific circumstances.


    "Okay." Evan did not ask further. Since someone would contact himter, he was not worried about it.


    He only had to pay more attentionter.


    The venue for the event was half an hour''s drive from the Crawfords'' ancestral home.


    There were outsiders present, so Luke and Luca did not exchange any intimate words to avoid being


    overheard.


    During this half-hour journey, Luke was engrossed in his phone. He was handling work while Luca


    looked out of the window and admired the scenery of X City.


    Even though the scenery passing by in reverse was just some street views, it had some of X City’s


    unique features, which brought a sense of novelty.


    Evan nced back and noticed that Luca was not doing anything else but looking out of the window.


    He could not help but say, "Dr. Craw."


    Luca came back to her senses. For some reason, she always felt that if Evan was initiating a


    conversation with her, it would definitely lead to something.


    It was not entirely unwarranted for her to think so. Last time, when she had a conversation with him in


    the office, he ended up suggesting that she should teach at Capital University.


    She had rejected the offer before, but after Evan started managing thepany, he still wanted her to


    do it.


    Luca felt quite helpless about it.


    She had also noticed that while it was easy to reject Dr. Jackson, Evan would not let her off so easily.


    However, now that Evan had called her, she could not pretend not to hear. She could only brace herself


    and replied, "Yes, Mr. Turner?"


    "Dr. Craw, how have you been considering the teaching position at Capital University that I mentioned


    Yet, it was precisely this kind of fake nice-guy talk that was the hardest to turn down.


    If Luca refused, she would feel like a terrible person.


    Luca shot a nce at Luke and noticed that he was also looking at them.


    She knew she could not rely on Luke''s influence to reject this matter, so she replied, "Mr. Turner, I''ve


    considered it, but I''m really busy...


    "Besides, it doesn’t have to be me, right? It''s been a while, and Capital University might have already


    found a substitute professor, no?"


    Students had set school hours, so even if a lecturer could not make it to ss due to an unexpected


    circumstance, another lecturer would step in immediately. It would not result in the students missing the


    ss altogether.


    Luca had been thinking about this for days, and since Evan had note to push her, Luca thought


    that Capital University probably had a solution in ce. She thought that they would not bother her


    anymore.


    That was what Luca thought, but reality was not as she imagined.


    Evan smiled and said, "Ourpany has yet to agree, and the school can''t pause this course. So,


    they''ve temporarily found another professor to teach them.


    "But that professor hasn''t taught this course before, and the quality of teaching is indeed subpar. The


    students also haveints.


    "Therefore, Capital University contacted me yesterday, hoping that we could send a professor over as


    soon as possible to teach the students."


    Luca was rendered speechless.


    Evan continued, "Actually, I''ve asked other research professors for their opinions, but they''re all deeply


    involved in crucial experiments and can''t spare the time to prepare teaching materials and give


    lectures.


    "Moreover, those research professors are also getting older, and I''m reluctant to have them go through


    the hassle."


    Luca was even more speechless.


    What Evan said left her with no way to refute.


    Capital University, teaching, giving lectures to students...


    No matter how she thought about it, she did not feel up to the task.


    "Mr. Turner, I think I still need some time to consider..." replied Luca. She thought that if she could dy


    a bit longer, Capital University might find a suitable lecturer to take over the sses.


    "Dr. Craw, please give me a response as soon as possible..." Evan''s voice trailed off, and Warren''s


    voice chimed in.


    "Mr. Crawford, we''ve arrived." After that, he found a parking spot and parked the car.


    Luke nced out of the window. It was the venue for the industryworking event. He nodded to Luca


    and said, "We''re here. Let’s go."
