"Okay, I understand." The front desk receptionist nodded, picked up an elevator pass, and waved it on the sensor.

With this restricted card, Tia could use the elevator to get to the third floor only.

The front desk receptionist respectfully handed the card as she said, "Ms. Tia, please go to the reception room on the third floor and wait there. We’ll keep you informed if the boss has the time to meet you after he’s done with his meeting."

"The third floor?" Tia's eyes grew wide at the news that they were only allowing her into the reception room on the third floor.

Previously when she went to the reception rooms, she always went to the ones on the tenth floor or above. Never once had she gone to a reception room on a floor lower than the tenth floor.

"Yes, this is what Mr. Doyle said. The reception room on the CEO's floor needs to be disinfected. Oh no, what I mean is that except for the reception room on the third floor, which was disinfected yesterday, all other reception rooms are being disinfected today. He told me to not let any guests go to the other reception rooms." The front desk receptionist tactfully thought of an excuse.

Even if Tia was suspicious of the reason the front desk receptionist gave, there was no way for her to verify it. Tia thought that the option she was given was still better than waiting in the lobby, so she took the card and walked to the elevator.

After Jason got a call from the front desk receptionist saying that Tia had settled down, he called Luke on the internal line and told him exactly what the front desk receptionist said.

When Luca heard Jason saying that Tia would not leave and was waiting in the reception room on the third floor, she was secretly overjoyed.

The reason for her reaction was simple. She saw how Luke kicked down the ladder. He did not give Tia any special treatment just because she helped him.

Although it was ungrateful of him to do this, it seemed that Luke was not interested in Tia.

It seemed that he had only approached Tia for a specific reason and those scandals were fake.

Luca secretly rejoiced in her heart, and her work efficiency improved after that. Before she got off work, she translated the entire document and even checked it twice. She found no translation or grammatical errors, so she sent the translated document to Luke's work mailbox.

"Mr. Crawford, the document has been translated," Luca said while she handed both the original and copied document to Luke.

Luke opened his mailbox and went through it. After five minutes, he said, "Mm, not bad. You can head off now."

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Luca stood up and put away the laptop, intending to return it to Jason.

Luke looked up at her and said, "I mean, you can leave work earlier today."

Luca was stunned. She glanced at the time and it was almost time to get off work. After she went downstairs to check on the progress of the experiment, it would almost be time to get off work anyway.

She looked at the documents piled up on Luke's desk. Although he had been working very efficiently the whole afternoon, the unprocessed documents came more quickly.

It seemed that he had to work overtime again.

Luca asked, "Okay, I see. Mr. Crawford, do you need me to pick Tommy up from school today?"

"No need." Luke thought about it for a few seconds and said, "Zander has time today to pick him up from school."

"Okay." Luca wanted to spend some time with Tommy because she was not sure when this peace would be broken but since Luke said that she did not need to, she would not insist on picking Tommy up.

She left slightly disappointed.

After Luca left, Luke picked up the intercom and called Jason.

"Is Tia still in the reception room?" he asked. He had made her wait all afternoon and wondered if she was still there.

"Yes, Boss. Ms. Tia is still waiting for you in the reception room on the third floor. Are you going to see her now?" Jason had asked the front desk receptionist to keep an eye on Tia and inform him if she got impatient and left.

However, up until they were about to pack up, the front desk receptionist had yet to call him. He could only assume that Tia was still waiting downstairs.

It was obvious that Tia had wonderful perseverance. After an entire afternoon, she was still waiting for Luke.

If it were someone else, they would have left long ago.

When Luca returned the laptop, she happened to overhear what Jason said. She quietly put the laptop on the table but did not leave.

On the one hand, she planned to thank Jason in person for lending her his computer. On the other hand, she wanted to know what Luke intended when he asked if Tia was still around right after she left.

‘Is he going to see Tia? If he wants to see Tia, there's no need to go behind my back to do it...'

When Luca thought that he might be going to see Tia behind her back and he only put it off because she was in his office before this, she could not help but feel sour.

Luke replied, "No, tell her that I have an urgent matter and have left the office."

Luca heard the voice on the other end of the phone. Luke still did not want to see Tia. The corners of her mouth could not help but raise as the sourness in her heart was swept away.

She felt wonderful.

Although she was no longer Luke's dearest, she felt content that no other woman was as well.

"Okay, I understand," Jason said and hung up the call.

Luca cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Doyle, thank you for today."

"Dr. Craw, you're welcome. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know where to find a Russian translator to help translate such a lengthy document," Jason said.

"What about Ms. Tia?" Luca pointed downstairs and gestured.

"Ms. Tia's proficiency in Russian is good but she's not well-versed in the corporate world. It's fine for her to entertain the Russians but it might be better to find a university student to translate the document than to let her do it. Dr. Craw, it doesn't seem like you felt any pressure to translate the document. You have a certain understanding of business, right?" Jason asked curiously.

Luca nodded and replied, "I took a similar course in university."

"You have some knowledge in architecture too, yeah? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been this easy for you to finish the translation," Jason said. In addition to the relatively professional business terms, the rest involved a level of command in architectural design. Belongs to - All rights reserved.

However, Luca went through the entire process without a complaint. The translation process went pretty smoothly.

"I learned a little about it when I was in university too. I'll go down first." Luca was afraid that he would continue to ask and she would have to explain everything, so she left in a hurry.

Jason looked at Luca as she left. He smiled, called the front desk, and relayed Luke's message.

Tia waited all afternoon for nothing.

When Luca returned to her office, the lab's researchers had already gotten off work. Rhett gave her a summary of the experiment.

Luca wondered if she should leave work earlier. Ultimately, she took the experiment summary home to read.

After she clocked out, Luca took the elevator to the first floor and bumped into Tia, who seemed furious.
