Chapter 1267 Approve My Friend Request
Dr. Albus, who was watching as things went down, gave Luca a thumbs up. He smiled and said, "Dr. Craw, impressive."
In his heart, he secretly despised Luca and thought that she was something else. 'No one, not even university students, can escape her seduction. It's no wonder she receives special treatment from Luke.’
Luca kept quiet and followed the signs to the venue.
William, who watched her walk away, was a little sad. He thought that the language barrier was a pity.
His friend on the side noticed that he looked sad and lost. He patted him on the shoulder and asked, "William, why are you so upset?" i
"Paul, I fell in love with her at first sight, but such a beautiful woman doesn't understand our language..." William was head over heels and stared at Luca's back.
Paul sneered, snapped his fingers, and said, "Friend, you were deceived by her. She's walking to the university's auditorium. There’s a medical lecture in the auditorium today, and those with her don’t look like students. She must be here to attend the lecture. It doesn't make sense that she got an invitation to the lecture but doesn't understand a single word of English."
William was shocked. "So... are you saying that she understood me?"
"Of course, but..." Paul looked at him and had a nasty thought. He said, "She understood you but pretended not to. It must be because she's not interested in you."
William was frustrated. This was the first time in his life that he failed to pursue someone.
He was voted the school hunk of this university. Apart from being a popular face in this university, he was also known in other universities for his excellent football skills and was admired by many girls.
However, from the moment he saw Luca, he no longer had eyes for other girls.
Paul put his arm around his shoulders and asked, "Why are you so upset? It's just a woman. I'll help you."
"I don't want to hurt her." William shook his head and refused. He knew what his friend meant.
He was not a good person. He was a playboy but did not want to hurt Luca, who he fell in love with at first sight.
"A beautiful woman like her will be swept up by others after staying in New York for two more days. Do you want that to happen? Don't regret it when you see her with other men," Paul said.
William suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes bursting with possessiveness as he grunted. "No, she belongs to me."
"Okay, very good!" Paul smiled when he saw that William was on board. He said, "I'm your best friend. Of course, I'll
help you go after the woman you love."
Luca walked into the auditorium with the others. She would not expect that the consequences of rejecting a seemingly harmless boy would be so dire.
They were seated far behind, but this arrangement was exactly what Luca wanted.
She was not interested in medicine in the first place. The reason why she studied so hard was that she wanted to live.
On the Island of Despair, learning another skill meant gaining another shot at protecting your life.
Luca sat with Rhett on her left and Dr. Albus on her right.
People came into the auditorium one after another. Luca walked aimlessly and saw Johann.
However, he was surrounded by people, so he did not notice her.
More and more people entered the auditorium. After a while, the lecture officially began. Luca was a little absentminded listening to the various medical reports.
She thought of Luke.
He asked Tommy to relay his message and asked her to check her notifications.
'Does he want me to approve his friend request? Why would he... want that?'
Luca's thoughts were getting jumbled when out of the blue, the phone that she was holding on began to vibrate.
No one was alarmed because she turned it to vibration mode before the lecture started. She picked her phone up and found that it was a video call request from Tommy.
Luca took the earphones from her bag and picked up the call.
Tommy's cute face appeared on the screen.
Luca smiled, she could only type because it was inconvenient to speak. [What's the matter?]
Tommy said happily, "Ms. Luca, Daddy gave me a phone to play with so I called you. What are you doing?"
Luca replied: [Listening to the lecture.]
"Oh, you and Daddy are so busy. Ms. Luca, look at him..." Tommy tapped his finger on the screen and it cut to the rear camera. She saw Luke, who was sitting behind Tommy, at his desk.
He was leaning on his side with his gaze on the computer screen. He was highly focused on his work. His resolute and stylish side profile made it impossible for anyone to look away.
'Luke is so handsome when he works...' Luca's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
The pace of her heartbeat seemed to be out of control...
"Daddy made me stay here after he brought me to the company. He keeps looking at the computer. I'm so bored, Ms. Luca," Tommy pouted while telling her about his boredom. This belongs to - ©.
Luke, who was busy, heard his son's complaint and stood up to walk over to him.
Tommy held the phone and kept the camera on him. "Daddy, what are you doing?"
Luke walked to Tommy's side and looked at the child while standing.
"Give me the phone." He held out his hand.
"Daddy, I'll be bored out of my mind if you take the phone away. My teacher said that it's not good for kids to be bored. It might make me stupid." Tommy protected the phone.
Luke sat down, took the phone from his hands easily, and turned the camera around.
Tommy watched silently.
Luca looked at the camera shaking for a while before it finally froze on Luke's handsome face. She subconsciously placed her phone down, then glanced at Dr. Albus.
Fortunately, he was fascinated and focused on the lecture. He did not notice her movements.
Luke looked at Luca. Her phone was now lying flat, and the camera captured her from a downward angle.
The average person would look ugly from this angle, but her face still looked beautiful. At that angle, he felt like he was looking up at her from beside her.
Luke suddenly moved, feeling that his body was a little hot. His legs unconsciously folded in an instant.
"Listening to the lecture?" he asked. He knew about the schedule of their training, and the voices coming from her side all mentioned medical terms.
Luca snapped out of it and typed: [Yes.]
Luke nodded and said, "Approve my friend request. Bye."
After Luke said that, he ended the call. The screen on Luca's phone instantly returned to her chat with Tommy.
"..." Listening to what he said, she was now sure that he asked Tommy to get her to approve his friend request earlier.
