The maid was dedicated to her job. "Of course. That's no problem at all. When Mr. Doyle is here, I'll go up to inform you immediately."
"Thanks." After Luca thanked her, she left the kitchen and went upstairs. She did not return to the bedroom but went to the study.
When she got up today, she checked her wound and noticed that the inflammation was much worse than yesterday.
From the condition of her wound, she knew things were not looking optimistic. The medications she had with her had no effect on the wound. If she wanted the wound to heal, she would have to take action fast.
Otherwise, she could no longer hide her wound from others.
After Luca closed the door, she took the sample and continued with the research.
About half an hour later, the maid came and knocked on the door. "Are you inside, Ms. Luca?"
Luca massaged her temples and spoke toward the door, "I am. Is Mr. Doyle here already?"
"Yes, Ms. Luca," said the maid.
Luca got up and walked out of the study. The maid was waiting for her at the door.
*I got it. Let's go," she said and walked to her bedroom. She picked up the documents and headed downstairs.
Jason was still reporting his work progress to Luke in the maid's room.
As for Luca, she was standing in the living room, waiting for him.
About another half an hour passed. Only then did Jason carry a huge stack of documents out of the maid's room.
Luca noticed that his expression was dark.
She stepped forward and handed him the documents. "Mr. Doyle, these are the translated documents from yesterday. The translated information has already been sent."
"Dr. Craw, my hands are full now. You can just place them on top of this stack," said Jason.
Luca placed the documents on top.
"Then, I shall take my leave now." Jason saw that the documents were placed securely and were about to leave. The company's project was not put on hold just because Luke was injured. The project was at the final stages, and if everything went smoothly, they would be able to finalize the bidding document.
Hence, he was especially busy.
"What about the documents that I need to work on?" Luca reminded him.
"There's nothing for today. There are not many documents left that need to be translated. Alya can handle the rest by herself. That's why I didn't bring anything for you," Jason explained with a smile.
"Does it mean that the bidding document for the project is almost done, then?" Luca asked as she recalled helping Luke to work on some documents yesterday.
Even though those were not important documents, it did seem like things were at the final stage now.
"Yes," said Jason.
After a few months of busying themselves, the bidding document for the project was almost done. Luca became slightly emotional. Luke was indeed capable. Despite so many things happening along the
journey, he was still able to complete the bidding document successfully.
"If there's nothing else for me to work on, then I'll head back to work," said Luca, not forgetting about her main career. She was not a translator nor Luke's assistant but a researcher.
"Not for now, Craw. You can just stay here to look after Mr. Crawford," said Jason. She still had to look after Luke.
Luca was stunned, then she smiled helplessly and nodded. owns all content.
Her career had actually turned into looking after Luke.
From the moment she returned, she had been with a motive and was selfish.
She did everything just to get closer to Luke.
She succeeded and became his employee. However, the distance between them was far from estranged. Instead, they were getting closer and closer to each other.
She first became a translator. Now, in everyone's opinion, she was someone who looked after Luke.
Jason saw Luca smile and did not think much about it. He carried the stack of documents and left.
"Go and help Mr. Doyle," Luca reminded the maid.
"Alright." The maid followed along and caught up to Jason's footsteps. She took the initiative to help him carry a few documents.
Luca looked at the maid's room but did not enter. Instead, she chose to head upstairs and continue with her research.
After the maid sent Jason off, she returned to the living room and saw Luke sitting in his wheelchair in the middle of the hall.
"Ddi Luca go out?" he asked.
"Nope. I think Ms. Luca is upstairs. For the past two days, she's always in the study whenever she has spare time. I wonder what's she researching?" the maid answered. Earlier when Luca opened the door, she noticed there were a few machines in the study.
Even though she did not know anything about those things, she knew that they were all items for research.
"Sir, do you need anything from Ms. Luca? Do you want me to call her down?" the maid asked again.
"No need. As long as she didn't leave," Luke said and maneuvered his wheelchair back to the maid's room.
The project was at its final stage, and he could not help but have a bad feeling about it.
'If Luca is really hiding her identity and trying to get close to me due to a mission, then once this project is done, she might have to leave regardless of whether she accomplishes her mission or not.'
All he could do now was investigate the organization controlling Luca behind the scenes. As for the other issues, he could not do anything about them.
Even if he wanted to make Luca stay, perhaps he might not be able to.
At noon, Luca came downstairs. When she was preparing lunch, the doorbell of the villa sounded.
She was slicing the meat and looked at the maid beside her, who was helping to wash the vegetables. She said, "My hands are greasy. Can you please go and see who's at the door?”
"Alright." The maid turned off the tap and walked to the hall.
Luca continued to slice the meat. After half a minute, the maid came in with a troubled look. "Ms. Luca, I think it's best if you go and have a look at things? I don't know how should I handle this. Mr. Crawford has ordered that if there's nothing urgent, then I shouldn't go in and disturb him when he's working."
"What's wrong?" Looking at the maid's expression made Luca stop her actions of slicing the
meat. She immediately washed her hands.
"There are two men outside saying that they want to meet Mr. Crawford. Judging from their appearances, one of them is older than the other. Since Mr. Crawford didn't mention that people would be coming over, I asked for their names and their reason for wanting to meet Mr. Crawford. They said they were the ones involved in the car accident and are here to apologize to Mr. Crawford. In this kind of situation, I think it's best not to let them in. I asked them to return for now, but they insist on meeting Mr. Crawford. If they don't see him, they'll keep waiting at the door," said the maid.
The people involved in the accident?
"I think it's best to have the police handle it. Why would they come here?" Luca frowned. As Luke was injured, he was also a victim. Logically speaking, those youngsters were indeed the ones who should be blamed.
There was nothing suspicious in this incident, so they should just let the police handle it. After Luke gave his statement, no one had come to bother him.
Besides, Jason had settled everything that had to do with the accident.
Why did these people suddenly show up?
"I'll go and have a look," said Luca as she left the kitchen and arrived in the living room. She activated the video function at the door and saw the two people the maid had mentioned. They were still standing at the entrance, waiting.
She did not say a word and had turned off the speaker.
She did not inform Luke about it immediately but called Jason instead. "Mr. Doyle, are you free right now?"
"Yes. What's wrong, Dr. Craw?" Jason asked
"Regarding the car accident that Mr. Crawford was involved in, has the verdict been made?" Luca asked. Even though the police had not said a word, according to the standard procedures, these people should be the ones bearing all responsibility. After all, they had driven under the influence and even injured someone.
