The following day.
The people from the moving company were already here when Luca woke up.
She did not have a lot of things with her. There were only two suitcases of clothes and books, as well as some experiment instruments that were already packed.
The people from the moving company were busy for a while, then they started moving her belongings into the truck. One of them asked, “Miss, would you like to follow us to the new address?"
Luca thought Luke must have already made arrangements for her, so she shook her head and said, "I have to go to work. Send my things to the address and someone will meet you all there."
"Alright." The worker from the moving company turned around and left.
Luca returned to the apartment. She took the antidote that had been separated from the fridge and put it in her briefcase.
She did not trust the moving company to move them there.
After Luca brought the antidote with her, she distributed the soup into different flasks and left the apartment with them. She turned around and glanced at it the apartment before she closed the door.
She recalled how reluctant she was when she first moved in here. She was finally leaving now, but her heart was full of complicated emotions. She could find the words to describe how she was feeling now.
Was she reluctant to leave?
Luca looked down, mocking herself for having such feelings. Perhaps it was because she shared some memories here with Luke, so that was why she felt this way...
However, Luca moving out this time made her realize that Luke's partner did not have to be her.
His actions made his intentions clear. She did not agree to his request that time, and now, he was over her.
It was better this way too.
After Luca left the apartment, she hailed a ride and headed to the T Corporation.
It was still early. Jason had yet to reach the office when she entered.
Luca placed the thermos flasks that were filled with soup on the table and began to translate the documents. There was a pile of documents that needed to be translated. If she did not hurry up, she would not be able to translate all the documents in time.
Jason would always pass by Luca's office when he came to work. He popped his head around the door and curiously took a look when he saw that the lights were switched on. He saw Luca was already working.
“Good morning, Dr. Craw. Why are you so early?" Jason smiled and greeted her.
“I came earlier than usual today. Mr. Doyle, have you eaten your breakfast?" Luca smiled and asked. After she unconsciously bought the ingredients and made soup, she brought some to the office. She had prepared some for him too.
“Not yet. Sue has to accompany the kids to the school to join the charity event today. She didn't have time to look after me, so I bought breakfast when I was on my way here." Jason lifted the bag he was carrying in his hands. It was his breakfast.
Luca took one of the thermos flasks out and said, “Mr. Doyle, I made some soup. It can nourish your body, especially your lungs. Here's some for you."
Jason was surprised to hear that. He had tried Luca's cooking before and knew that the soup must taste good.
“Thank you, Dr. Craw. The weather has been cold, so I was thinking of drinking something hot." He came forward and took it from her. Then, he noticed there were two flasks left. He asked, “Are these for Boss?" Original from .
"Uh..." Luca scratched her head. She thought of telling him that she did not prepare anything for Luke. There were two flasks left. One was for herself, while the other was for Tina.
Jason noticed that she was holding back her words and made a guess. “You didn't prepare some for Boss?"
“I don't think Mr. Crawford needs it." said Luca. After all, if Luke wanted to eat something, he would not starve no matter where he went.
Jason shook his head and looked at Luca's face. He was wondering if she really had no idea or if she was doing it on purpose.
“Dr. Craw, I think it'd be better if you prepare another one for Mr. Crawford. Or should I give mine to him?" Jason said. If Luke knew Luca had prepared soup for Jason but not him, would he not be skinned alive?
Luca listened to him and understood what he meant. Indeed, it was inappropriate if she prepared things for the others but not him.
However, Luke had already made such arrangements. If she prepared his portion, would she not cause him to misunderstand?
Luca pondered for a few seconds. She had no choice but to compromise. She handed her flask to him. “You can give Mr. Crawford this."
“Oh, so you already have his portion. Well, you prepared the soup. Of course, it'd be better if you gave it to him yourself. Thank you for your soup. I'm going back to my office to work first." Jason carried the thermos flask and left.
Luca could not stop him even when she called out to him. She watched him leave, then she glanced at the flask of soup. Was she really going to give it to Luke herself?
She shook her head. She lowered her head and continued to translate the documents.
Luke would always pass by Luca's office when he went to his office. He saw Luca working with her head lowered when he passed by. He remained silent and walked past her office right away.
Before Luca could lift her head, Luke had already walked past her office.
She stood up unconsciously, but she wondered if it was impolite for her to stand here and call out to Luke. Hence, she sat down embarrassingly.
When Luke passed by Jason's office, he saw that Jason was drinking soup. He stopped and asked, “What are you doing?"
"Boss, I'm drinking soup." Jason noticed that Luke was not holding a thermos flask and wondered if Luca had given him the soup yet.
“Drinking soup early in the morning?" Luke raised his eyebrows. He could smell the fragrance of the soup from far away.
Jason explained, "Dr. Craw gave it to me. It won't taste as good when it's no longer warm."
Luca prepared soup for Jason?
"Who gave it to you?" Luke asked again.
"Dr. Craw." Jason intentionally pretended that he did not know about Luke's feelings and repeated.
Luke's glance turned cold. Luca would rather make soup for a man who had nothing to do with her than to prepare some for him? Was he still in her heart?
Jason looked at Luke's gloomy face, held back his laughter, and pretended to put on a confused expression on his face. "Boss, do you have any orders?"
Luke left without a word and walked back to his office.
Jason quickly finished the last sip of soup. Luke's expression was too exciting to watch just now. He believed Luke would have taken the soup from him right away if he had not drunk any of it.
"Dr. Craw, hurry up and give him the soup. Otherwise, everyone in the office will be in trouble," he muttered to himself. He had taken the risk to make Luke upset.
If Luca did not deliver the soup to Luke later, it was not just Jason but even the senior managers would also be in trouble when they attended the meeting later.
Luca finished arranging the meeting minutes yesterday. She printed out the translated documents and brought them to Jason's office. "Mr. Doyle, these are the arranged documents and translated data. Please take a look."
Jason shot a glance at them before closing them. Then, he said, "I'll keep the meeting minutes. You should hand the translated documents to Boss."
Luca heard him and said, "Shouldn't you be handing them to him?"
