Earlier, Tia had tried to give the impression that the situation was not like what everyone else thought. However, Sue could tell that she hoped that Jason would misunderstand her.
Tia had also mentioned that she was worried about Bianca being emotionally agitated after reading the news.
However, she hoped that Bianca could read the report and lose her temper with Luke.
Sue knew exactly what Tia was thinking.
Jason could only stare at Sue, at a loss for a reply.
After arriving at Brilliant Architecture, Sue stepped out of the car. Before she left, she said, “You’d better not let Bianca know about this. She won’t be able to accept the news!”
Jason nodded. He did not tell Sue that the woman that was thought to be Luke’s wife for the past three years was an impostor. Sue still thought that Bianca was traveling overseas.
“Come home early today so that we can go to the supermarket. We need to buy supplies for our daughters’ birthday party the day after tomorrow,” Sue said.
“Yes, my dearest wife,” Jason said and playfully saluted her.
The people in the PR department worked very efficiently. They soon prepared two statements.
Jason first sent a statement to Tia and told her to immediately post it on her personal Twitter account.
As for Luke’s side of the story, Jason scheduled the post to go up in an hour.
Luke was not interested in social media. The statement would be posted on T Corporation’s official Twitter account.
…
After Luca clocked in at her office, she prepared to go to the lab. This time, she would bring her phone along with her.
When she took out her phone from her handbag, she habitually opened the messaging app to see if Amur had sent her a message.
She did not get any messages from Amur. However, she saw that the company chat group was very lively. The people were talking about the scandal involving Luke and Tia.
It was from the chat group that Luca knew about the newspaper headline. A reporter had seen Luke and Tia enter the restaurant, and he had taken a photo of them.
Even though Luca had already made peace with the fact that Luke might be interested in Tia, she was not too happy to see the article.
She was about to lock her phone and put it in her pocket when she saw a new message pop up in the chat group. [Have you seen Ms. Tia’s Twitter account? She has posted a statement saying that the dinner yesterday was only between friends. It’s not like what the reporter described.]
Another person added: [I told you so. Mr. Crawford won’t be interested in her. She’s been Mrs. Crawford’s psychologist for many years, and if Mr. Crawford has feelings for her, he would have asked her out sooner. It won’t take three years for the scandal to break out.]
[She’s already released her statement. Why hasn’t Mr. Crawford said anything yet?] Someone still did not believe it.
Another employee replied: [Don’t you know? A gentleman would let the woman release her statement first before he releases his. That way, he can protect the woman’s dignity. They only had dinner and
nothing more.]
[Why would they have dinner without anyone else? Usually, Mr. Crawford would bring Mr. Doyle along to business dinners. Moreover, this happened when Mrs. Crawford was traveling overseas. I’m pretty sure there’s something more to it.]
As they continued discussing the issue, one of the managers voiced out: [Don’t you all have work to do?]
Instantly, the activity in the chat group died down.
Luca closed the messaging app and searched for Tia’s account on Twitter. She saw the statement that Tia posted five minutes ago.
The statement provided a concise account of what happened the day before and emphasized that it was only a normal dinner between friends. Tia and Luke had been acquainted with each other for several years, and nothing was going on between them.
The entire statement sounded very formal.

Luca guessed that Luke must have gotten the PR department to write the statement and sent it to Tia to publish it…
She could understand why Luke wanted to draw a clear boundary with Tia. Even if they had something going on between them, it was not the time for the relationship to be public.
Not only would the reputation of T Corporation be affected, but Tia would also be known as Luke’s illicit mistress.
Naturally, Luke did not want Tia to take on that title…
The more Luca thought about it, the more her heart wrenched. She looked at the ceiling and continuously blinked.
She did not want her tears to fall down.
Three minutes later, she felt a lot better. She put the phone in the pocket of her lab coat and left the office.
She forgot that Luke was observing her actions.
‘How strange…’ Luke thought as he looked at Luca on the computer screen. What was she doing?
He suddenly remembered that Bianca would tilt her head upward whenever she wanted to cry. He asked her why, and she had said that it was because she did not want her tears to fall.
Did Luca want to cry? Why would she want to cry?
After Luca entered the laboratory, she focused her attention on the experiment. The other researchers were discussing the scandal, but she did not participate in it.
When she heard them talking about things that she did not want to hear, she removed herself from the laboratory and went to the cultivation room. When it was time to go off work, she came out of the cultivation room and clocked out.
She did not see Luke today. Sean was the one who picked up Tommy at night.
Before Sean left, Luca abruptly said, “Right, Mr. Zander, is it alright if I take a day off tomorrow?”
Sean looked at her, slightly confused. It was Saturday tomorrow. If Luca could cook for Tommy even on weekdays, why would she not be able to do so on a Saturday?
“Are you busy?” He asked. He had no say in the matter, and he needed a reason from Luca so that he could tell Luke about it.
“I have a friend in the hospital. I’d like to visit her tomorrow,” Luca said.
Sean nodded. “Alright, I’ll let Sir know.”
“Thank you.” Luca felt her heart wrench again. It was as though her chest was wrapped up so tightly that she could not breathe.
“Bye-bye, Ms. Luca.” Tommy was disappointed that he would not be eating Luca’s cooking tomorrow, but he did not throw a tantrum.
Luca waved her hand and said, “Bye, Tommy.” Text content © .
After she watched them enter the elevator, she closed the door.
She sat on the couch again, opened the Twitter app on her phone, and searched for Tia’s account. Other than the statement, Tia had not posted any new updates or liked any replies.
