The meeting ended two hours later.

Every senior manager walked out of the meeting room with a depressed look. They were keenly aware of the

problems in their department after the meeting.

They almost got fired because of it...

Luca looked at them, feeling indifferent. Luke was serious about his work and the project.

Many people intended to harm him during all these years. However, he would always pull through, and it was

probably because of his serious attitude at work.

"Are you tired?" Luke suddenly asked her after everyone in the meeting room had left.

Luca snapped back to her senses. She quickly tidied up the recording pen and meeting papers, saying, "No."

"You've been typing on the keyboard all this time. Aren't your hands sore?" Luke asked.

"No. I'm used to it." Luca finished packing everything and stood up.

"Let's go eat." Luke invited her.

Luca was startled. Was he inviting her for lunch?

Where?

"Mr. Crawford, I'm sorry but I brought some light food with me today," said Luca. When she was on the way to the

office today, she got out of the car when she almost reached the office. She noticed that someone was selling

sandwiches near the office. Hence, she headed there and bought two sandwiches for herself as she thought of

having them for lunch.

After all, she ate a lot of good food during the banquet last night as Queenie and Wanda had kept taking food for

her. It was a little too greasy for her.

"Light food? Sandwiches?" Luke had seen her buying some sandwiches when he drove to the office this morning.

Luca said embarrassingly, "Yes. You saw that?"

"Yes, I saw you buying sandwiches. Why are you eating sandwiches?" Luke asked.

"I ate too much greasy food last night, and I feel like eating something simple today to soothe my stomach," Luca

explained. She did not expect that he would catch her buying sandwiches this morning.

"If you want to eat something light to soothe your stomach, it doesn't have to be a sandwich. Get ready. I'm

bringing you out for lunch," Luke said as he walked out of the meeting room.

Luca looked at the man from behind. She felt helpless. Was he bringing her out for lunch?

They would run into other people if they went in and out of the office together.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was already strange enough today. She reckoned that it was because of her

relationship with Luke. If she went in and out of the office together with him, those people would probably make

wild guesses.

Luca shook her head helplessly as she watched Luke leave. She had no choice but to accept it. Then, she stood up

and carried the laptop in her arms.

Luke had already gotten into his elevator to go upstairs.

Luca took the employee's lift to get upstairs. After she reached the floor, she ran into Tina when she passed by the

pantry.

She thought Tina might know something about it, so she walked into the pantry.

“Tina, what are you making?" Luca asked.

Tina turned around and looked at Luca. She smiled and replied, "I've gained weight recently, so I'm making a meal

replacement milkshake to fill my stomach. Dr. Craw, why are you still here? Did you order takeaway?"

"No, the meeting has just ended. I haven't had the time to order anything," Luca said with a hesitant look on her

face.

Tina looked at her expression and thought that Luca might want to ask her something. She asked, "Dr. Craw, is

there anything you'd like to say?"

Luca nodded and let out a sigh. She said, "When I attended the meeting today, I noticed the senior managers were

acting weird. Did something happen?"

Tina took a sip of the meal replacement milkshake. She chuckled and asked, "Don't you know?"

"Know about what?" Luca was startled. Sure enough, something did happen.

Tina said, "You went to attend Old Master Crawford's birthday banquet, right?"

"Yes." Luca nodded. Now that Tina mentioned it. she finally understood why those people had weird expressions on

their faces when they saw her. "Is it because of the birthday banquet last night?"

"Yes. Although the employees of T Corporation weren't invited to the birthday dinner, one of them who attended

the dinner works in the company. I heard he's one of the Crawford family's distant relatives. He took a photo of you

entering the venue."

Luca was speechless when she heard that. That turned out to be it. She had stayed close to Luke last night to catch

up with his pace. She was also holding his children's hands. That scene made her look like she was Luke's wife. That

was why they had misunderstood her.

"So that photo is being spread around in the office, right?" Luca continued the sentence.

"Yes. You looked stunning in that dress last night. You two made a beautiful couple when you stood together. Tsk,

tsk, tsk. So beautiful." Tina recalled how amazed she was when she saw how well-matched they were in the photo.

She could not help but exclaim.

"Alright. Stop saying that. You know that there's nothing going on between me and Mr. Crawford. Everyone has

misunderstood us." Luca was incapable of explaining it.

"I know. But after looking at that photo, everyone can't help themselves from overthinking. You were holding Mr.

Crawford's hands. From the photo's angle, you were looking at him and there was a hint of gentleness in your eyes.

Dr. Craw, so many women were jealous of you when the photo came out," said

Tina.

Luca got even more speechless. She knew she was going to be the topic of their discussion.

However, everyone who attended the banquet was a guest invited by the Crawford family. She thought they would

not leak anything to the reporters, so the people in the office would not know about it either.

She never expected that the news was already all over the office.

Tina looked at Luca, who looked troubled, and said, "Hey, you don't have to put on that expression.

Even though those people are envious of you, they can't do anything to you. Mr. Crawford has given the orders that

no one is allowed to talk about this anymore, and no one is allowed to tease you about it. Mr. Crawford knows you

hate it, and he's protecting you well."

Luca felt her face burn when she heard that. Luke had even given out orders...

“No way.." She covered her forehead with her hands. “That's why they were looking at me that way.”

Tina chuckled and comforted her, saying, "It's not a big deal. Don't tell the others that I told you about it. Mr.

Crawford told us not to say anything about it."

"I got it," Luca said. She only wanted to know what the situation was. She never thought of taking action against

anyone.

Besides, the news was all over the office now. There was nothing she could do.

Tina looked at her troubled face. She smiled and took a sip of the milkshake. "Dr. Craw, hurry up and go to eat.

Otherwise, lunchtime will be over soon. I saw Mr. Doyle carrying a pile of folders into your office today. I'm guessing

you're going to be very busy."

Luca recalled that Luke said he wanted to bring her out for lunch. She thought of rejecting his offer, but she was left

with no choice.

She nodded and went out of the pantry.

Then, she happened to run into Luke.

"Put your stuff away. I'll wait for you at the elevator," he said.

Luca nodded. She remembered that Tina was still in the pantry. She initially planned to sneak out with him so that

no one would find out. Well, she was pretty sure they had been found out.
