Jason noticed Luke's gloomy expression. He was sure Luca had something to do with it.

“What are you doing?" Luke's face darkened, and he asked Jason when he did not hear his report.

Jason immediately came back to his senses. He put on a serious expression and reported to Luke about the progress of the acquisition.

Another American-owned company was planning to purchase Brown's company at the same time. That was why they were hardly making any progress with the acquisition. Luke frowned and asked when he heard Jason reporting to him, "It's too slow."

The words were sonorous and powerful. Jason could deeply feel Luke's dissatisfaction.

Then, Jason explained, "It has become even more difficult to acquire the company as other American- owned companies are joining in. That's why the progress slowed down a little..."

Luke looked up and shifted his gaze to Jason. He looked at him with his cold, dark eyes.

Jason understood what he meant. This was not about the slow progress. It was Luke who refused to accept such a reason.

"Boss, we'll try our best to speed up the progress," Jason promised him right away, hoping that it could calm Luke down. However, Luke was not only unhappy with the acquisition progress but it was because of the phone call too.

Luke rose to his feet and walked toward the window. He looked down at the buildings outside. The hotel he was currently staying at was the landmark of that place. It was the tallest building in the city, and he was on the highest floor of the building. He was able to look down at the whole city when he stood beside the window.

It was just like the acquisition plan this time. If he could acquire the Brown family's company, he could gain a foothold in this city. It played an important role in expanding T Corporation.

"T Corporation has to acquire the company this time," said Luke with overbearing determination in his eyes.

Luke would not allow any mistakes in the acquisition this time. He could not let the chance slip by and fall into someone else's hands.

"Yes, Boss." Jason understood how important the acquisition was. Otherwise, Luke would not have come here to work on the acquisition himself.

"I want it to be done as soon as possible," said Luke. He wanted to go back to A City after handling the work here.

Luke was forced to leave the city when he had just made a breakthrough in his relationship with Luca. He would not allow the distance that he had just closed between them to grow apart again. That was why he had to return to A City as soon as possible.

“Got it, Boss," said Jason. He glanced at the time and reminded him, “Boss, they're waiting for you to host the meeting downstairs in 10 minutes."

T Corporation's branch office was right below the hotel. It was convenient for them to work here when they were here for a business trip.

Luke glanced at the time. Although he missed Luca, he had to walk out of the suite.

The only way to free Luca and bring her back home was to become stronger.

He could destroy the Island of Despair once, so he could destroy it again even if they had changed their leader.

Jason quickly followed behind Luke and walked out of the suite, thinking that everyone who attended the meeting would have to suffer since Luke was in such a bad mood.

On the other hand.

Amur rushed to pay the bill after they finished eating lunch.

As Luca watched Amur grab the bill and walk toward the cashier counter, she shifted her gaze and lowered her head to look at Rainie. “Have you had enough to eat?"

“Ms. Luca, I'm full." Rainie picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth. Her moves were so elegant as though she was a princess.

Luca smiled.

Amur walked toward them after paying the bill. He said, “Done. Do you have any plans after this?"

Luca shot a glance at Rainie. The kids usually had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon. They would be tired if they did not take a nap. Luca replied, “I'm going home."

Amur was a little disappointed. He was planning to bring them to hang out somewhere else.

However, he would still stick to Luca's plan. He nodded and replied, “Let me send you home."

“It's okay, Amur. I can't trouble you to send me here and there. Just go home." Luca shook her head and rejected his offer. Although Amur did not admit it, Luca knew he was wounded.

What mattered the most for Amur now was to get enough rest.

Amur unclenched his fists. He had no idea why Luca refused to let him send them back, but he thought it would be better not to speculate. After all, Luca meant it when she said she did not want him to send them back.

“Be careful when you're on your way back home."

Luca could sense the unwillingness in his voice. She nodded and said, "Remember to apply the medicine. Besides, Tina is worried about you. Reply to her messages since you're back."

"We..." Amur frowned. He wanted to explain to Luca that nothing was going on between him and Tina.

“It's good news. But you must take care of things that you should take care of." Luca blinked at him. She did not make it clear as Rainie was there too. Considering that they had hidden identities, if Amur and Tina ended up being in a relationship, that would mean he would be dragging Tina into danger. Hence, Luca wanted Amur to stay on the right side of it.

After that, Luca and Rainie left.

The two of them climbed back into the car. Rainie sat on the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and glanced outside the window. Amur was standing there looking at them as though he was reluctant to part with them.

"Ms. Luca, why did you ask Uncle Amur to apply medicine? Is he hurt?" Rainie asked.

“Yes. He told me he accidentally hurt himself." Luca waved at Amur, signaling him to hurry up and go back home so that he would not catch a cold. Then, she drove the car away and left.

Luca did not say much. Otherwise, Amur would keep standing there.

Amur would only leave after she left.

"Then what's with him and Ms. Tina..." Rainie used to go to T Corporation often. Back then, Luke had instructed Tina to look after her and Lanie in the office.

Hence, Rainie liked Tina a lot too. Although she had no idea what was going on, she assumed that the person Luca called Tina was the Tina she knew.

"Rainie, I'm not sure how to explain this to you. Let's have Uncle Amur handle this himself, okay?" replied Luca. Kids nowadays were precocious. That was why she did not know how to explain what was going on between Amur and Tina.

Besides, Amur still had many problems to be solved now.

"Alright, Ms. Luca. I got it," Rainie smiled and replied. This was between the adults, so kids should not be meddling with it.

"You must be sleepy. Take a nap in the car. You can continue when we arrive home later," said Luca. The restaurant was a little slow when they were serving the dishes, so it was already Rainie's nap time when they finished eating.

Speaking about napping, Rainie unconsciously let out a yawn and closed her eyes.

Luca shot a glance at the child and came to a halt at the side of the road. She took a jacket from the backseat and covered it on Rainie. Then, she continued to drive.

Rainie had not fallen asleep yet. She could feel Luca's movement, and the jacket covering her had Luca's scent on it.

Rainie smiled sweetly, feeling blissful.

It was her mother's scent.

Luca tried her best to keep the car steady. It only took a while for Rainie to fall asleep in the car. The child did not wake up until they arrived at the villa.All content is property © .
