Luke paused his gesture while he was turning the pages of the document. Then, he continued to read the documents as if nothing had happened. “We have to speed up the progress of the project. We'll need a regular Russian translator, and we can't afford any unforeseen circumstances on your part anymore."

Luca, who read between the lines, knew that he had only sent someone to pick her up because he wanted to ensure the company's project would go on as scheduled.

After all, translating was an essential job for overseas projects like this.

Luca nodded. She stood up with the document in her arms and said, "I got it. I'll try my best to translate these documents."

"Okay." Luke did not lift his head to look at her.

Luca was upset. The person in front of her was aloof. That was his true colors, but she could not help herself from being unreasonable. She was hoping that the man in front of her could spare a little warmth for her.

However, given her identity and background now, she could not ask for it.

There was an awkward silence again because of the few simple words he said. Luca carried the folders in her arms and grasped them tightly as she watched the man do his work. She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Crawford, if there's nothing else, I'll go out to work first."

"Alright." Luke did not make her stay.

Luca left the office with the folders in her hands. She had just closed the door when she saw Jason walking toward her. He saw Luca and asked, "Dr. Craw, has the boss arranged a job for you?"

"Yes, some translating jobs," said Luca while she held the folders in her arms.

Jason shot a glance at the folders. He recognized the two folders. "I was the one who arranged these two folders. They're quite thick. It's going to be tough for you."

"It's no big deal. Haven't you eaten yet?" Luca noticed the lunchbox he was carrying in his hands.

Jason nodded and answered, "Not yet. Everyone on this floor is working overtime. We haven't eaten yet. But this one is for the boss. You've just come out from there. Is there anything unusual about him?"

"Nothing unusual. He's the same as always," replied Luca. His tone of voice did not change even when she was questioning him.

"Alright, then I'll send over the lunchbox first. Oh, the renovation work for your office has just been completed, and the tools you need have all been arranged. You can use the office anytime you want," Jason said.

Luca nodded and headed to the office.

Luca pushed the office door open and switched on the lights. She looked at the decorations inside. Clearly, it was just a temporary office, but Jason had decorated it like it was an office for long-term use.

She entered the office, sat down, and switched on the laptop on the table.

After working for a while, Tina stood at the door and knocked on it. She looked at Luca with a smile on her face. “Dr. Craw, may I come in?"

Luca lifted her head. She was focused on handling the documents and did not notice Tina's arrival. Luca rose and asked, "It's you. Of course, you may come in. What's the matter?"

Tina came in. She noticed that the office was lit up when she was passing by. She knew that it must be Luca who came back to work. Hence, she came here to take a look. Sure enough, it was her.

"Nothing. I just happened to see you coming here to work even though it's already late. It must be tough on you. Oh yes, I'm going to get some coffee. Do you want some?" she asked. Everyone in their department had to work overtime during this period, and most of them relied on coffee to keep themselves awake.

Luca shook her head. "It's alright. I'm not used to drinking coffee at night."

"But you'll have to work late. Are you sure you don't need it?" Tina looked at the two folders on her table. Although there were only two, each folder was thick.

"Can you please get me a glass of juice if that's okay with you?" Luca said. It had been a long time since she drank coffee.

She was already a light sleeper. If she continued to rely on the coffee to make her stay awake, her sleeping quality would become poorer.

"Sure. Wait a minute." After knowing that Luca preferred juice over coffee, Tina turned around and walked out of the office. After a while, she brought her a glass of juice.

She placed the glass of juice on the table and explained, "It's too late at night now. There's only grape juice left. Dr. Craw, you don't mind, right?"

"I'm fine with anything." Luca picked up the glass of juice and took a sip. The juice was prepared in the morning and it was already nighttime now, so the taste would naturally have changed.

Still, it did not matter. It was just a drink to quench her thirst.

Tina looked at the two folders and reminded her, saying, "Dr. Craw, you can actually bring these documents back to translate. After all, you're still on sick leave. All you have to do is complete these folders in time. Boss wouldn't say anything about where you do your work."

Luca flipped the page of the document and said, "I'd better stay in the office to do the work. It's related to the project, after all. It'd be best if I don't bring important information and documents out of the office."

Tina thought what she said made sense too. She glanced at the swelling on Luca's face that had not recovered. She said in a caring manner, "Alright. Try not to get too tired, then. Your face hasn't fully recovered yet."

"I will." Luca touched her face unconsciously and smiled at her.

Tina did not say anything more. She left there holding her cup of coffee in her hands.

Luca continued to translate the documents.

There were piles of documents, and the difficulty level was much higher than the previous documents that were given to her. Moreover, she had not been working for quite some time, so her progress was a little slow.

When it was eleven o'clock at night, Jason and the others had already gotten off work, while she was still sitting there doing her work.

When Luke got off work, he glanced at her when he was passing by her office.

Indeed, she was still busy at work.

Bianca used to be serious and responsible when she was working. She was still the same.

Luke knocked on the office's door. Luca's gaze moved away from the laptop screen and fell on him. "Mr. Crawford?"

"Time to get off work," Luke said. Given the time now, it would be almost 12 when they returned to the apartment.

Luca glanced at the time on the computer screen. It was already so late... owns all content.

She nodded and stood up. Since her boss had already gotten off work, there was no need for her to work overtime anymore. She saved the translated documents and switched off the laptop. When she was about to keep the folders, Luke spoke.

“Bring the folders back home.”

Luca was holding the folders and asked him in surprise, "Mr. Crawford, aren't these confidential?”

"Did I mention that these are confidential?" Luke questioned her back.

Luca shook her head. He had indeed never mentioned that. However, she subconsciously thought that these documents were confidential.

"These are just documents that need to be rushed. They're not confidential. Bring them back. You don't have to come to the office tomorrow. After you complete translating them at home, just send the copy to my email," said Luke.

Luca heard him and switched on the laptop again. Since she did not bring her memory disc, she had to send the documents to her email. That way, she would be able to continue translating the documents at home.

After she had completed everything, she switched off the laptop again. Then, she shot a glance at the door. Luke was already gone.

He did not wait for her.

A disappointing feeling slowly surged in her heart.
