After a while, Luca adjusted her posture. This time, she put the laptop on her lap and lowered her head to translate the document.

She felt a slight pain in her neck after working like this for a while.

Luca wondered how Luke did it. He always sat on the sofa to go through the documents on his laptop in an upright posture and never seemed tired.

However, now that she was doing it, she was very tired.

Luca could not take it any longer and patted herself on the back. She looked up at Luke, who was concentrating on reviewing documents.

She pursed her lips and thought about it for a while before placing the laptop on the coffee table. She then squatted on the floor.

She felt much more comfortable like this. She was feeling much more comfortable working at this height compared to when she was sitting on the sofa...

Luca had just squatted for a few seconds when she heard Luke say, "Get up."

She raised her head and met his gaze. He was looking at her while speaking...

Luca explained herself, "Mr. Crawford, I'll just squat for a short while..."

"What will others think if they come in and see you like this?" Luke's tone was cold without any warmth. It was a stark difference compared to how he had acted in the afternoon.

Luca thought to herself that it was not the best image to present. However, those who went into Luke's office would knock on the door. If someone knocked on the door, she would just get up and it would not

affect anyone at all.

However, she knew that he would never accept this explanation.

Luca had no choice but to stand up and sit on the sofa. She only squatted for a while, so her feet were not numb. However, she felt a little tired.

"If it's uncomfortable to work there. You can sit and work here." Luke pointed to the seat opposite him and gave her one more chance to choose.

Luca was no longer stubborn after seeing her work efficiency decrease. She put the document on the laptop's keyboard, walked to the opposite side of him, and sat down.

If she continued working on the sofa, her efficiency would be poor and she would have to work overtime.

Luca did not want to work overtime. She just wanted to quickly translate the rest of the document and then get off work.

Luke watched her sit across from him. He flipped through another page of the document he was holding and continued to scan through it.

After Luca set everything up, she continued to work.

It was lunch break but neither of them had the intention to take a break. They worked silently and did not speak to each other until Luca's laptop notified her that the battery was low.

She stopped her translation work and glanced at Luke. She had a company laptop and all of the employees used the same model, so she assumed that Luke would have a charger with him.

"Mr. Crawford, do you have a laptop charger?" Luca broke the silence.

Luke glanced at her laptop. His work laptop was different from the brand used by the company's employees. He shook his head, picked up the phone, and instructed Jason, "Bring me a laptop charger."

After a while, Jason walked in with a charger.

"Boss, here's the charger you asked for." He put the charger on the table.

Luke nodded.

Seeing that Luke had no further instructions, Jason left the office.

Luca plugged in the charger and wanted to connect it to the power socket but she had a problem.

There were no power sockets on her side.

The sockets were all on Luke's side.

"Mr. Crawford, can I trouble you to help me?" Luca picked up the end that was going to be connected to the socket and handed it to him.

Luke took it and helped her plug it in.

The screen of her laptop suddenly lit up. Luca saw it and resumed her translation work.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jason called Luke through the internal line. "Boss, the front desk called and said that Ms. Tia is in the lobby. Do you want to meet her?"

The volume was a little loud and Luca could hear everything.

'Tia. Is she here to ask Luke for credit?'

Luca remembered that Jason mentioned she had drunk with the Russians the night before. It was likely that they had taken advantage of her.

"No, tell her that I'm busy." Luke turned the request down without a second thought.

Jason was taken back. 'How could the boss reject Ms. Tia after asking her for help? He refused to meet her without even thinking about it... How ruthless...'

He replied, "Okay, I know what to do."

As soon as Luke hung up the call, Jason immediately replied to the front desk, "The boss has something to do now. ou can send her away."

After the front desk receptionist received the instructions from Jason, she said politely to Tia, "Ms. Tia, our boss is in a meeting now and has no time to see you today. Would you like to make an appointment for another day?" copyrighted © content.

When Tia heard that, her expression changed.

The man who was in contact with her yesterday was unavailable today? Was he telling her that she meant nothing to him after she helped him entertain the Russians?

Tia could not believe it. She was unwilling to believe that Luke took advantage of her. She told herself that he was probably busy with work.

'So what if he's busy? I have no clients today anyway. I have the time to wait.'

Tia had given up many clients who wanted to consult with her to allow more opportunities and time for her to be in contact with Luke. She wanted to make him be more attentive to herself.

Therefore, Tia was not willing to give up.

"He's in a meeting? That's okay, I can wait," she said, not intending to leave.

The front desk receptionist was not sure how to proceed. Jason meant for her to shoo Tia away but even after she used the excuse that Luke was in a meeting, she could not send Tia on her merry way.

She looked at Tia with a smile on her face. Women like her who pestered their boss were annoying.

They seemed to think that they would get special treatment after meeting him once or twice.

The front desk receptionist said, "Ms. Tia, please wait here. Once the boss' meeting is over, I'll inform him again."

"Wait here? I'm a friend of your boss. I helped him deal with some business partners previously. If I have to wait, I should wait in the reception room upstairs." Tia immediately launched an attack.

The people waiting here were people who wanted to work with Luke. They were people who were waiting for business opportunities.

'I'm nothing like these peasants.'

These people just wanted to get a piece of the pie from Luke, while she had done everything in her ability to help Luke.

"Uh, give me a moment." The front desk receptionist could not do anything but did not dare to let Tia up either. She called Jason.

After he heard what the front desk receptionist said, Jason sighed upon realizing they were being cornered.

Their boss wanted to quietly kick the ladder but the 'ladder' was unrelenting and difficult to deal with.

In desperation, Jason replied, "Ask her to wait in the reception room on the third floor. Also, tell her that you'll only know if the boss is free after he's done with his meeting."
