Chapter 1103 Luke Is Already Married
Four days later, Luke picked Tia up at the A City International Airport.
Tia was wearing shades. She narrowed his eyes in appreciation when she saw the man in front of her.
Luke was dressed in a bespoke polyester shirt and a pair of neatly-pressed slacks. He exuded an overbearing yet attractive aura.
Tia could feel her heart flutter. She had seen many handsome men before, but it was the first time she had met someone with Luke's demeanor. She felt as though she might lose control of her emotions at any time.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Tia." Luke went forward and greeted her.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford," Tia extended her hand elegantly.
Luke shook hands with her. He rarely shook hands with people, but Johann had cautioned him repeatedly that Tia was a demanding woman, and he should not go against her wishes.
Tia felt dizzy when their hands touched. Fortunately, her shades obscured the gushing emotions from her eyes.
Trying to maintain her composure, Tia elegantly pulled her hand away. Her timing and movements did not make Luke suspect anything.
"Thank you for coming all the way here, Ms. Tia. I've already arranged transport and accommodation for you. This way, please.”
At first glance, Tia could tell that the man was outstanding.
Such an outstanding man was only waiting for an equally outstanding woman.
Luke Crawford was the man for her.
A Rolls-Royce was parked outside the airport. Luke opened the door for her like a gentleman, and they sat facing each other.
The car started. "Mr. Crawford, are you a good friend of Dr. Park?" She tried to chat up with him.
"Yes." Luke nodded and looked at her. She had not taken off her shades, and she exuded the aura of a self-made woman. Just like Johann said, she was going to make things difficult.
Luke would agree to her requests no matter what.
"You've sent me an email, right?" Tia removed her shades. Her dark-blue pupils exuded a feminine charm as her eyes were transfixed on him.
As a psychologist, she knew the perfect gaze to captivate a man’s heart.
Luke looked at her, nodded, and said, "Yes. I need your help with something."
His expression remained impassive. Tia was surprised that he was not charmed by her gaze, considering that not many men could resist her charms.
Tia could tell that Luke was not pretending. Her gaze had no effect on him at all.
She smiled gently and leaned forward slightly. "I receive a lot of mail every day, and my assistant must have filtered it. What can I help you with?"
Luke remained unresponsive to Tia's movements. "I'm not in a hurry. I've heard from Dr. Park that you're here at A City to attend a conference. Perhaps we can discuss it after your conference."
Tia raised an eyebrow. Her appreciation for the man increased. She liked men who did not rush her.
"Sure, we can talk over tea," Tia replied.
The Rolls-Royce arrived at the hotel, and Tia and her assistant got out of the car. While they waited for the driver to unload their luggage, she smiled and said, "Mr. Crawford, shall we have some coffee?"
Luke glanced at the time and said, "I still have some work back in my office, and I'll have to owe you a date for now."
Tia was happy even though Luke had declined her invitation. She nodded and said, "Alright, I won't take any more of your time yet. See you next time."
"Mm." After seeing them go into the hotel, he re-entered the car.
Luke had booked a presidential suite for Tia. She put her luggage aside, sat on the couch, and smiled as she took out her phone to find more information about Luke.
Tia was an arrogant woman, and she was not interested in normal men. She did not bother to find out who Luke was before she came to A City.
She would not have agreed to meet Luke if not that Johann had personally contacted her.
Her assistant came over with a cup of coffee. "Here's the coffee you requested, Ms. Tia," she said softly.
Tia put her phone away and took the cup. "What do you think of Luke Crawford?" She asked.
The assistant had worked under Tia for many years and knew why her employer was asking that question. "Do you have a crush on Mr. Crawford?"
"I'm just asking. Don't be so nosy." Tia sounded like she was reprimanding her assistant, but she seemed to be in a good mood.
Her assistant could see the blushes on Tia's face. "I haven't seen you having a crush on anyone yet, Ms. Tia."
She thought that only Johann could be a match for Tia. However, Johann chose to stay in A City, and that was why their relationship did not thrive.
Tia only agreed to meet with Luke because Johann had asked her.
"Watch your mouth if you want to keep your job," Tia said playfully.
"Please forgive me, Ms. Tia," the assistant begged.
"I'll give you half an hour to find me everything there is on Luke Crawford," Tia said. "Also, you'd better not tell that to anyone else."
"Alright, I'll get to it." The assistant was secretly relieved that Tia did not punish her.
Half an hour later, the assistant handed her a folder.
Tia put the magazine away and looked at her. "What's with your expression?"
The assistant shook her head and said, "It's nothing, Ms. Tia. This belongs to - ©.
Tia took the folder and opened it. All the information inside was about Luke Crawford. Her expression sank when she saw that Luke was already married.
"Luke Crawford is already married?"
"Yes. From what I can find on the Internet, Luke Crawford has been married for several years, and the couple has three children." The assistant shuddered. She was most afraid of Tia in a bad mood.
Tia tossed the folder aside and said, "Whatever. Do you have any information about his wife?"
"Yes, it's also in the folder." After finding out that Luke was married, the assistant went to investigate his wife.
Tia picked up the folder again and flipped to the next section. She narrowed her gaze and mumbled, "Bianca
Rayne?"
She flipped to the next page and could not help but chuckle when she saw Bianca’s photo. "Is he for real? This woman looks so plain."
The assistant looked at her but dared not say anything.
It was no surprise for a woman to think that her love rival was ugly.
