"I feel awkward listening to you thank me. By the way, I've already talked to Mr. Doyle but didn't share any details. If you decide to go to work, let him know. You're going to be late if you leave now, so if you insist on going, I'll drive you there." Nina glanced at the time. Luca would most definitely be late for work.
Luca glanced at the time. It was late, and she had to go. "I still have to go, or work will start to pile up."
While eating breakfast, she texted Jason and told him that she would be half an hour late.
Jason replied immediately: [Okay, Dr. Craw.]
Luca put down her phone and took her breakfast in big bites.
Seeing this, Nina said to her, "Don't eat in such a hurry. Work is important, but your body is more important."
Luca nodded and continued to eat breakfast.
Nina held her chin, looked at Luca, and sighed. "I think Luke is lucky to have an employee like you."
Luca paused what she was doing but said nothing.
Nina did not continue to say anything. She just looked at Luca, who was weak but still rushed her breakfast just to get to the office earlier.
Not only was she juggling two roles in T Corporation, but she was also helping Luke take care of his family.
Although Nina felt that this was inappropriate, after what had happened last night, it was a fact that Luca treated the children well.
Over the years, she had seen quite a few women who tried to win over the three children to get close to Luke.
Their flattery was superficial, and the children did not accept it. However, Luca's kindness to the children was long-lasting. The children accepted it readily.
They do not hide their love for Luca.
After Luca had breakfast, Nina drove her to T Corporation.
Luca sat in the passenger seat, looking at the documents.
Nina glanced at her and said, "Working in the car is not good for your eyes."
"It's only for a while," Luca said. These documents should have been done last night, but due to what had happened last night, she had no choice but to work on them today.
"You work so hard. If you don't get a bigger bonus at the end of the year, I'll scold Luke for you," Nina said while laughing.
Luca listened to her words and sighed in her heart. ‘This is great...'
Since Nina and Percy got back together, Nina had become fearless. It was great that she was loved and taken care of by Percy.
Nina parked her car near the entrance of T Corporation and watched Luca unfasten her seat belt. She could not help but say to her, "If anything happens, call me immediately and don't deal with it alone."
"Okay. Please don't mention this to anyone." Luca put her hand on the door, looked at Nina, and said.
"Don't worry, my mouth is shut tight. I won't say anything to others. Although I don't know why you don't want to call the police, you must have your reasons. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what
happened last night. If you encounter any difficulties, please know that I'll always be there for you." Nina knew that Luca did not plan to tell Luke what had happened last night.
Her injury was so serious, but she insisted on keeping quiet about it. There must be a deeper reason behind it.
All she could do was keep it a secret for Luca and lend a helping hand whenever Luca was in trouble.
Nina did not know why she treated Luca as such. She just felt close to her and wanted to be kind to her.
She had felt the same way when she first got to know Bianca.
"Okay, I'll go to work now." When Luca heard that Nina was willing to keep her secret, she nodded with a smile, opened the door, and slowly got out of the car.
Nina watched her walk into T Corporation before she drove away.
T Corporation.
Alya walked in with stacks of documents and could not help but complain, "These documents are so heavy."
Tina glanced at her. There were indeed a lot of documents, so she walked over and helped her carry some. "Why didn't they bring these up? Why did you have to bring these up alone?"
"I'm not Dr. Craw, so they told me that they didn't have time and asked me to go down to carry them myself." Alya was pissed. Usually, they had to collect the documents when they received a call from the relevant departments. If they were not busy, they would search for the documents of the secretary of those departments would send the documents over.
However, she had just heard from downstairs that if it was Luca, someone would always send the documents over. Hence, Alya was raving mad.
Tina nodded and put the documents on her desk. "The situation is a little different now. Let's be understanding toward each other."
"They're busy but I'm busy too! By the way, where's Dr. Craw? I wanted to assign her some work but there's no one in her office," Alya said.
"I don't know. I haven't heard anything," Tina said. When she passed by Luca's office earlier, the door was indeed closed.
"We're so busy but she doesn't even bother to show up. Does she expect me to do everything on my own?" Alya put the documents on the table and could not help but mutter, "It's different when you have connections. " copyrighted © content.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll go look for Dr. Craw." Tina knew that Luca was not the kind of person who depended on connections, so she could not help but say that before she walked out of the office.
Alya snorted coldly and said, "What's the big deal? Why can't I talk about her when she's in the wrong?"
Tina ignored her since Alya would be going back downstairs after the project was completed. There would not be much interaction between the two after that.
She walked out of the secretary's office and walked to Luca's office. She happened to see Luca punching in with a briefcase in her hand.
Tina could not help but said in wonder, "Dr. Craw, did you just come in?"
"Yeah, I had something to attend to, so I was late," Luca explained. When she saw that she had successfully clocked in, she walked over.
"I thought you were downstairs. After all, you're never late." Tina nodded. She noticed Luca's pale face and asked with concern, "Dr. Craw, are you feeling unwell?"
"A little. Just part and parcel of being a woman..." Luca deliberately made Tina think that she was on her period.
"You should go into the office and take a seat. You can't be too hard on yourself when you're on your period." Tina supported her hand.
Luca's face was too pale. Tina did not think that her discomfort was from being on her period.
Luca shook her head and said, "Is Ms. Alya in the secretary's office? I haven't gotten the new batch of documents to be translated yet."
"Alya just brought the documents up. I'll get them for you. Go in and sit down," Tina said and walked toward the secretary's office.
Luca was rather embarrassed. After all, Tina was also busy.
However, her wound was aching. She knew that it was because she was walking too much and her movements had tugged on the muscles. Hence, she sat on the seat.
