Setting Jean Up With Luca?

Nina was not insane. She would never lead her friend into danger, and she wanted to immediately reject them. However, when she thought how Anna was going for surgery the next day, she might mess everything up if she rejected them right away.

She thought about it for a moment and said, "You have surgery tomorrow. We'll talk about it after this."

Jean narrowed his eyes and pondered when he heard her say so. It was much better than her rejecting him from the get-go. He had his ways to see Luca even if Nina rejected him after the surgery.

He had seen Luca with Nina a few times. She seemed to hang out around Nina a lot.

Hence, he only had to keep Nina by his side, then he would certainly get to see Luca. She would probably agree to whatever he asked her to do.

“No, you have to promise me now, not after the surgery. Look at your brother. He's old enough. When will I get to see my grandchildren if you refuse to help your brother?!” Anna did not have as many considerations as Jean. She forced Nina to promise her.

“Mom, Luca is busy right now. How can I just give him her contact details? What about this? I'll talk to Luca after your surgery ends tomorrow. I can't just give someone else her contact details without getting her permission, right?” Nina felt irritated. She was the youngest in the family, but she was the one who had to bear most of the responsibility.

Anna thought what she said was reasonable too. She took a bite of the apple and sneered. "Alright. I'll leave this to you to handle tomorrow. Ask Luca to come over and take care of your brother tomorrow."

Nina rolled her eyes right away. How could Anna say something like that?

“I've already found a caretaker for him. Luca has work to do. Don't trouble her," replied Nina. She had talked to Luca while she was sending her home. She knew Luca was going to be busy after this.

“Yes, Mom. Don't trouble your future daughter-in-law with such petty things. I'm fine having just a caretaker." Jean had his ego too. He was not going to let Luca see him lying on the ward bed like that if he was going to pursue her.

The patient on the ward bed beside them could not help but roll their eyes and sneer mockingly when they heard their conversation.

How hilarious this pair of mother and son were. How did an outsider just suddenly become her daughter-in-law and his girlfriend? copyrighted © content.

Nina was mentally exhausted after it was over. She walked out of the ward and went to the restaurant, thinking of getting herself a cup of coffee. However, she ran into the daughter of the Johnston family in the restaurant.

She was startled for a moment as she looked at the glamorous woman in front of her. She felt uncomfortable when she saw her. She reminded her of Percy Mallory.

Nina turned around and left.

The daughter of the Johnston family recognized her after what had happened previously. Although Nina had nothing to do with Percy now, it would be better for the both of them not to see each other.

It was because they had recognized her as the mistress.

Nina thought she was strong enough to deal with this. However, she was still overwhelmed by the rumors.

The following day.

Luca put on something more formal than usual as she was going to meet foreign guests today. She contacted Jason, and after knowing that the guests would be arriving around noontime, she knew she still had time to do her job.

Everyone in the department was slacking off a little after traveling for a few days. Luca held a meeting and rearranged their tasks.

Rhett came to her after the meeting ended and asked caringly, “Dr. Craw, are you feeling better already?"

"I'm fine. Oh, I might be busy these few days. Help me follow up with the research data. Send me a message if there's anything wrong." Luca tidied up the meeting materials. The drug research and development had reached the critical stage, yet she had to assist with some other matters. Hence, she could only ask Rhett to help her.

"Alright. I got it." Although Rhett had no idea what she was busy with, it was his superior's order. He would only have to follow her instructions and carry them out.

Luca looked at the time. Knowing that it was about time to get ready and head to the airport, she returned to her office and took off her lab coat. She put on her suit coat and headed to the building's first floor.

She was in charge of fetching the guests at the airport with Jason. Both of them had agreed to meet up on the first floor.

Luca got into the car when she saw Jason driving Luke's car heading toward her.

There was only Jason and her in the car. Luke did not come along.

Luke would not usually show up on such occasions, and Luca knew that. She asked, "Mr. Doyle, how many of them are coming? Is there enough room for everyone?"

"Don't worry. One more of our cars is on the way to the airport. Dr. Craw, fasten your seat belt. We're heading out now," Jason said gently.

Luca nodded. Jason would always arrange everything meticulously when it came to such things. She fastened her seat belt, and they headed to the airport.

Both of them managed to successfully pick up the Russian guests at the airport.

There were four people on the team. There were three men and a woman. They looked arrogant.

Luca did her job as an interpreter after greeting everyone. Jason had good language proficiency. However, when it came to the Russian language, he could only understand a little. He did not know how to speak Russian.

Luca guided them into the car after some small talk. Then, they headed to the hotel.

“Mr. Doyle, will Mr. Crawford be coming later?" Luca asked.

"Boss has to attend another international meeting later around noon. He probably won't turn up. However, we'll be officially welcoming the guests tonight. I guess he'll show up tonight." Jason thought so since Luke had already let him be in charge of everything for the first half of the day.

"Alright." Luca nodded. Those guests did not look friendly. She could feel that two of the men were up to no good when she shook hands with them.

She was not a fresh graduate who had just graduated from the university. She understood what they were hinting at.

Although she was disgusted with it, they were the T Corporation's guests, after all. She had a mission to carry out as well. Hence, she could only put up with it.

Luca and Jason invited them for lunch after sending them to the hotel.

The Russians were heavy drinkers. Jason opened a few bottles of red wine for them. They drank as much as they liked since they had nothing to do in the afternoon.

They made Luca drink a lot as well.

Jason had encountered countless scenes in the business world. He was able to hold his liquor, but he still could not drink as much as they could.

Luca had been tolerating it. Jason and she let out a sigh of relief when those men could no longer drink as much.

Jason turned to look at her as he watched them stagger into the elevator. "Dr. Craw, are you alright?"
