Previously, Tia said that she treated the fake Bianca with hypnosis, but since Luke found out about the truth, he thought that things were not that simple. Perhaps Tia could be an entry point for investigating the Island of Despair.
Otherwise, how could everything be so coincidental?
Luke believed that the fake Bianca faked her madness. Otherwise, there was no good explanation as to why she appeared out of the blue and did not remember anything from the past.
As long as she acted crazy enough, no one would ask her about the past.
After Tia appeared, she used hypnosis to soothe her emotions. Around the same time, the fake Bianca happened to lose all memories of the past.
Luke was skeptical and thought that someone had conceived a well-laid-out plan and was plotting against him.
Since the fake Bianca was planted there by someone from the Island of Despair, Tia could be involved as well…
Luke sat in the executive chair, squinting his eyes while he thought about it all.
Jason thought he did not want to meet Tia, so he said, “Boss, if you don’t want to meet her, I’ll send her on her way.”
Many came to T Corporation every day and wanted to see Luke. He was well versed at shooing away unwanted guests. If Tia was not involved with the fake Bianca, he would have sent her away on the excuse of not making an appointment.
“No, let her in,” Luke said. ‘It’s time to investigate Tia.’
“Got it!” Jason said.
Luke said, “By the way, have Tina bring in two cups of coffee…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luca’s instructions sounded in his ears. He changed his mind. “No, get me a cup of coffee and a cup of warm water.”
“Yes.” Jason attended to his request immediately.
When Tia heard that she was about to see Luke, she stood up happily, smoothed out her skirt, smiled, and followed Jason to Luke’s office.
“Mr. Crawford, long time no see.” Her attitude was friendly.
Luke did not react even when he noticed the effort she put into her appearance. Except for Bianca, other women were the same in his eyes.
There was no difference between them…
He pointed to the seat opposite him and said, “Ms. Tia, please have a seat.”
Tia smiled and nodded, then sat across from him.
As soon as she sat down, Tina came in with the coffee. When she thought of putting the coffee in front of Luke, he said, “The coffee is for our guest.”
Tina nodded and wondered when did Luke prefer warm water over coffee.
However, she did not say anything and politely put the coffee in front of Tia. She then placed the warm water in front of Luke.
After Tia thanked her, her gaze fell on Luke again. She smiled and said, “Mr. Crawford, I’m sorry if I’ve interrupted your work by coming unannounced.”
“No worries.” Luke’s voice was flat without any fluctuations.
Tia was used to it. After all, the person in front of her was Luke and not anyone else…
She checked in on him and said, “I heard Mr. Doyle mention that you’re not feeling well. What’s the matter?”
“It’s an ongoing issue, nothing to worry about,” Luke said, “Ms. Tia, is there anything I can help you with?”
Tia wanted to go on with the conversation about Luke to show him that she cared deeply for him but felt that he seemed reluctant to talk about his health. As such, she had no choice but to go straight to the subject. “I haven’t been able to contact Mrs. Crawford for a while now so I wanted to check in with you.”
“It’s okay, Bea’s emotions are very stable now but she’s not in the country. That’s why she has been uncontactable,” Luke said.
He did not expect that someone outside the Crawford family would ask about Bianca.
However, he had prepared an ironclad excuse. Whenever someone asked about the fake Bianca, he would use this reason and no one had doubted him thus far.
“She’s not in the country… No wonder it always goes to voicemail when I call her.” Tia suddenly realized that it was strange to look for Bianca at Luke’s office. She was worried that he might overthink and explained, “Previously, I noticed that Mrs. Crawford’s mood wasn’t stable so I thought to check in
with her regularly to help her manage her anxiety. It’s time for the next round of treatment but she didn’t show up and I haven’t been able to contact her, so I was worried if something had happened to her…”
Luke listened to her explanation, nodded, and said, “Thanks for taking care of her.”
Although he said that, Tia’s remarks undoubtedly escalated the suspicion in his heart.
Since the fake Bianca’s disappearance, no outsider had come knocking. Tia was the first person to do so. If she was worried about the fake Bianca’s situation, she could call him directly when the fake Bianca could not be reached. There was no need for her to come to the company.
However, she came in person…
In some cases, face-to-face conversations would allow him to obtain more information than phone conversations. He thought that it was likely that Tia was involved with the Island of Despair.

“I’m Mrs. Crawford’s therapist, so it’s my responsibility. I would like to ask when will Mrs. Crawford return to A City?” Tia continued to ask, wanting to hang around Luke as much as she could.
Luke said, “Bea is studying abroad and she’s very happy now. She has no plans to return to A City for the time being. If she returns and feels the need to see you, I’ll be in contact with you.”
Tia felt a little lost when she heard his reply.
If Bianca did not come back in the short term, it meant that she had fewer chances to see Luke.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
She did not expect that the uncultured woman would suddenly go study abroad. However, in this situation, Tia had no choice but to nod her head and say, “Okay.”
Even though she felt down, she knew where to stop. Seeing that she had nothing else to say for her to hang around, she stood up and said, “In that case, I’ll leave now and not disturb your work.”
“Mm.” Luke nodded, picked up the phone, and was about to let Jason see her off when he suddenly thought of something. He hung up the phone and said, “Ms. Tia, thank you for treating Bea with all your heart and soul over the years.”
Tia was ecstatic at what he said. She had always felt that Bianca was not worthy of Luke. The woman next to him should be career-oriented.
After she tucked her hair behind her ears, she smiled and said, “Mr. Crawford, you’re too polite. It’s my job to help Mrs. Crawford and you’re paying me for it. I have to do my best for Mrs. Crawford.”
Luke continued talking, “You’re very dedicated and I want to thank you. How about this? Are you free tonight?”
Tia was slightly surprised.
‘He wants to thank me? Is he asking me out?’
Tia nodded slightly and replied, “I’m free.”
