Luca nodded. Pierre could not bear the common risks that came with transactions as such. She did not expect him to go so far."The boss was so annoyed by him that he taught him a lesson in Russia, thinking he would learn his lesson. However, after Pierre left Russia, he’s been using his network to investigate Abel. He has the boss’ contact number, and Boss felt that things would go down if he let Pierre be. As such, he asked me to deal with the matter," Amur said.If Pierre had been obedient, this would not have happened."He asked for it..." Luca said softly."Yes, if he hadn’t continued to dig into Abel, the deal would have ended as such and the boss wouldn't have done anything," Amur said as he believed that the deal was fair as it was mutually consensual.All transactions involved risk.Abel took the risk, and so did Pierre.The money and the goods had changed hands but Pierre constantly bothered Abel to get a refund, screaming that the proposal was fake. The money was in
"Wait," Amur said. He walked to the living room, picked up two full bags, and handed them to her."What's this?" Luca glanced at the bags with a supermarket logo printed on them."Snacks for the kids..." Amur explained, "I just so happened to buy them when I was at the supermarket.""Thank you." Luca did not reject his kind offer. When he deliberately emphasized the phrase ‘just so happened to buy them', she thought that the awkward Amur was a little cute.As she looked back on the past three years, he had matured a lot and could take on responsibility.She knew that Amur rejected Luke because of her previous experience. Nevertheless, he knew that the three children were innocent."I'll be making a move, then." Luca picked up the two bags and left."I'll send you off." Amur walked quickly to the door and opened it.Luca shook her head and said, "You've been on the road for a few days. I'm sure you're tired. Rest early. The driver is downstairs. I won't be in any danger.""Okay
The grandma he referred to was Allison.The child's words reminded Luca of Allison. She had been to Korea for a while, and she was not sure how the operation went.She did not hear Luke mention it either.However, she caused such a scene when she went back to Crawford Manor for the New Year, so it was likely that no one cared about her surgery."Is Mr. Crawford back?" Luca asked the child."Daddy knows that you were going to have dinner with Uncle, so he came back early. He’s now working upstairs," Tommy said.Luca picked up the two bags of snacks, went into the pantry, and kept the treats out of the child's reach.Tommy loved to eat. She was worried that they would overeat, so she put them up a little higher. When they wanted to eat them, Aunt Neile could take the snacks for them and control the amount so that the children would not overeat."Are you done with your cartoons?" After she put away the snacks, she asked Tommy who was following behind."Yeah, the show’s over." Tom
The water temperature was getting colder. After Luca washed up, she stood up and realized that it was not her bathroom. She had no bath towel and pajamas here, so she had to pick up Luke's bath towel to wrap herself with.By this hour, the children should have fallen asleep. They would not notice if she went back to her room to get her pajamas.With that thought, Luca walked out of the bathroom.Luke was not in the bedroom, so she guessed that he had gone to take a shower in the toilet opposite.Luca opened the bedroom door and found that the corridor was completely silent. She quickly walked back to her bedroom and opened the door when Luke happened to come out of the bathroom."Mr. Crawford, you're done washing up," she said before realizing it was nonsense.Luca was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and put her head in it."Mm." Unlike her, Luke had brought his pajamas with him before he went to take a shower. He was wearing pajamas while she was wrapped in a bath towe
Next Monday was also the first day of school for the kids. Zander would be in charge of taking the children to school, so the only thing that needed to be done in the morning was to prepare breakfast for them.Luca figured that she could do it alone, so she agreed to Aunt Neile’s ask."Okay, thank you, Dr. Craw." Aunt Neile breathed a sigh of relief."It's nothing. If there’s nothing else you want to talk about, I have to head to the office now. By the way, when Mr. Crawford goes to work, please remind him to bring along his coffee," Luca reminded her."Okay, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile watched Luca leave, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.She was glad that Luca agreed. Otherwise, she would have to trouble others to send her grandson to school.After she stepped out of the villa, Luca got into Warren's car and headed to the office.It was a big day for Watson Biopharmaceuticals. The drug developed was classified as medical insurance drugs, so they would discuss the price wit
Luca arrived at Mr. Whitlock's office and knocked on the door."Come in." Mr. Whitlock's voice came from inside.Luca opened the door and looked at the office. She noticed that Mr. Whitlock's secretary was reporting on some work, so she stood at the door to wait for them to finish their conversation before she entered.After the secretary was done, she turned around and left the office.Mr. Whitlock greeted Luca, "Come in, Dr. Craw. Take a seat."Luca nodded slightly and walked in without closing the door. She sat directly opposite him.Mr. Whitlock glanced at the open door, then withdrew his gaze. Her action was like a warning to him.The door was open, so he had to be careful with what he said.Mr. Whitlock had been working in corporate for so long that he would not be threatened by Luca's actions. He stood up and closed the door.Luca leaned back in the chair and watched Mr. Whitlock sit back in the chair indifferently."Dr. Craw, the final price of your project has been s
"Mr. Whitlock, defamation is not a word that you can just throw out." Luca saved the recording and put her phone in her pocket. "You have no evidence, but what you just said is evidence that you did it if my project data is leaked."She did not want to do this kind of thing, but Mr. Whitlock's harassment annoyed her.Mr. Whitlock's expression was ugly, and his mood was gloomy. He could not say anything because he was so angry.Without the data, the man would fire him.T Corporation would not allow him to stay for long as well.Luca was right. Luke would not let him fool around.Luke still did not fire him after he made so many mistakes. It seemed that Luke wanted to find out who was behind him.Luca put away her smile and said with a blank expression, "If it's all right, I'll be back in my office. I still have documents to attend to."Mr. Whitlock watched her leave before he slammed on the table with his big palm.After Luca left his office, she shook her head helplessly when
Wanda wanted to make an appointment with the doctor, but the doctor called to ask about her health condition in the first instance. “Ms. Rayne, I read the documents. The last time you came for a medical examination was last year around June. It isn’t time for you to do another check-up. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Is that why you want to do a medical check-up?” the doctor asked. Luke was the one who arranged for the doctor. The doctor was responsible, and he dared not to let anything go wrong with Wanda’s health.“Well, I haven't been getting enough rest these days. And my hands and legs are always cold. That’s why I thought of heading to the hospital for a check-up,” Wanda said in a relaxed tone. She thought it was merely her health getting worse, and it was not such a big deal.However, Wanda consciously listened to Luca’s advice."I see. Let me make an appointment for your health screening tomorrow at 8:30 in the morning. The hospital will send someone to pick you up. Is t
