This was great news, but Luca was not happy.

After this meeting, she had to face Luke. She did not know how to explain herself.

'Should I escape?'

The only way that Luca thought that she could avoid having to explain anything was to escape.

After the results were announced, the meeting was over. There was a lot of commotion around, but all she could only hear were words of congratulations.

Luke should be very happy. He always had his eye on this project. Since this project was in hand now, it meant that T Corporation would expand to the Russian market.

At the same time, this project would cover the loss of Dr. Albus' project so that T Corporation could survive the crisis. The shareholders would not make a scene.

Luca sat there and looked at Luke, who was greeted with envious glances from various companies. At that moment, he was the most attention-grabbing person in the venue.

It was indeed a good day, but it was unfortunate that she would also have to leave Luke's side.

In the past three years, she endured all the hardships and training that broke the limits of her human body. The thought of Nyla kept her holding on, along with Luke and their other children.

Luca knew that Abel trained her to get revenge on Luke. She kept training not to help Abel but to have a chance to meet Luke.

She was happy if she could even sneak a glance.

After they met, she was still deeply in love and unwilling to part once more. A few months were not enough for her.

However, that did not matter.

"Boss, congratulations!" Jason took the lead in congratulating Luke. Luke had won this project and solved the immediate problem.

"You've worked hard," Luke said. He was very satisfied with the result. At the same time, what made him feel even more satisfied was not getting the project but knowing that the fake bid was in the hands of Pierre.

He was not sure that he would find it. After all, the person behind Luca needed the bidding document perhaps because they wanted to know the reserve price of T Corporation.

Unexpectedly, the proposal was bought by Pierre. Not only did he not modify the main content, but he also copied it word for word and sent it in.

That was why Luke recognized it immediately.

'Interesting...'

Luke looked at Luca and said softly, "You've worked hard too."

Luca stared at Luke, the serious expression he had just now had disappeared. He was calm as usual. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth that represented his mood at the moment. He did not look angry.

"Mr. Crawford, congratulations." She felt that her voice was hoarse. It took several seconds for her to utter these words.

Luca congratulated him for getting the project.

She also congratulated herself for failing the mission.

Although she failed and had to leave, it was okay. At least she did not end up hurting Luke.

Luca comforted herself.

Luke saw her expression. She was smiling, but she seemed like she was about to break into tears. He knew what was going on and said, "Everyone has contributed to this. We'll go back to the hotel later and celebrate!"

"Okay." Luca thought of leaving when they were done celebrating. It was the last time she would be with him.

After the meeting, Marcos' assistant went over and aligned with Luke's schedule so they could sign the contract.

The signing of the contract would not be completed so soon. M Group had to prepare the contract, and the lawyers from T Corporation had to come over to discuss the terms together. Therefore, the first meeting was set to be in three days.

Pierre glanced at Luke, snorted coldly, and left the venue.

Luke gave Jason a look. Jason nodded and left the venue as well.

He did not leave to follow Pierre. Instead, he took the opportunity to inform Gale to investigate and follow Pierre.

No one expected the proposal to end up in Pierre's hands. After Percy's issue was sorted, Luke withdrew those who were investigating Pierre.

However, it was time to continue investigating Pierre now.

Jason called Gale. After he conveyed Luke's order, he returned to the venue. owns all content.

Luke was discussing with Marcos' assistant. Jason walked over and asked, "Boss, are you sure it'll be in three days?"

"Yeah." Luke nodded and said, "Pack up and let's go back to the hotel."

"Okay, Boss." Jason breathed a sigh of relief. He packed his laptop and related equipment, preparing to leave.

Luke looked at Luca, who was in a trance. He reminded her, "We're heading back to the hotel."

"Okay, Mr. Crawford." Luca followed behind them.

On the other hand.

Pierre left the venue and sat in the car when Mr. Peralta got in. When the door closed, Mr. Peralta made a noise, so Percy glared and roared at him, "Can't you be quieter?" "Sorry, Boss!" Mr. Peralta shivered. He buckled his seat belt carefully, then whispered to the driver to send them back to the hotel.

Pierre was in a bad mood. Nevertheless, he was relieved when he saw T Corporation's bidding document. The two proposals were different, so he did not need to be held accountable.

Mr. Peralta looked at Pierre's expression through the rearview mirror. He looked angry like he was about to kill someone.

He could not afford to say anything, so he would not provoke Pierre.

Pierre took out his phone. He was pissed that he was lied to by Abel!

He had spent the money but lost his dignity and the project!

He called Abel, but a woman picked up instead. "Who is it?"

"I'm looking for Abel," Pierre said.

Hera Sanchez was stunned and said, "Why did you call me to look for him?"

Pierre frowned. Abel had used this number to contact him prior. He saved it and made a note, so it should not be wrong.

"Where's Abel? He used this number to contact me before."

"Contact you? Who are you?" Hera recalled that Abel had used her phone some time ago. She had no problem lending him her phone.

"I'm his friend. Where is he now?" Pierre knew through her response that she knew Abel.

"Friend? Since you're his friend, why don't you know where he is?" Hera understood who Abel hung around having been in contact with him for so many years.

She did not give the information easily since he had given her a lot of money.

What was more, Abel's whereabouts were beyond her knowledge.

"Don't waste my time. You won't have a happy ending if you piss me off!" Pierre thought that she was deliberately hiding Abel.

Hera was a little scared by his gloomy tone. She was just a woman, and there was no one around to protect her. Abel was not around at this critical moment.

"I didn't mean it. I'm in that kind of a relationship with Abel. I don't know where he is now!" Hera bit her lip and said.
