Luke originally wanted the stylist to give her a more glamorous look, but after listening to her opinion, he went with
her idea.
She looked pretty even with a simple look.
Luca felt his eyes on her, and she started breathing faster.
“Mr. Crawford, the ceremony is about to begin," Luca reminded softly. If they stayed in here any longer, people
would start to misunderstand.
Mo knew that she was inside.
With a guy and a girl were alone in a lounge, it would be hard for other people to not overthink.
"What did you just call me?" Luke narrowed his eyes to show dissatisfaction. Was she using this alienating title on
purpose to keep her distance from him?
"This is a public setting, and the people from Watson Biopharmaceuticals are inside." Luca knew that calling him
that would upset him, so she had to explain.
"Uh-huh." Luke was still unhappy.
What did those people have to do with him?
She was his beloved wife.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Luke..." Seeing his expression, Luca had no choice but to compromise and call his name.
The knit in Luke's brows loosened up, and he showed a little smile. If someone saw her face right now, they would
have thought that Luke was bullying her.
How could he ever bully her?
He just did not like Luca being all timid and cowardly.
She was supposed to be the woman next to him. The confidence and aura she worked so hard to build up in the
past should not be dimmed down by such cowardice.
"Is there a reason why you called me in here?" Luca asked.
"I just wanted to see what the stylist had done for you," said Luke. Although he could see it outside, there were too
many people, and he did not want to be distracted by others when he was focusing on her.
Therefore, he hid in this lounge and asked Mo to bring her in.
"You could've just looked at me outside." Luca did not understand why he did this.
“There are too many people outside. I wouldn't be able to see clearly." Luke held her hand and complimented her,
"You're beautiful. You look great."
"Now that you've seen me, I'll go out, then." Luca blushed at his compliment and withdrew her hand before walking
out without waiting for his permission.
She could not go out with Luke at the same time. Otherwise, it would cause a commotion.
Luke could not help but shake his head as he watched Luca push open the door of the lounge and walk out. She was
shy...
After all these years, she was still the same girl back in high school who would blush at just a glance from him.
Luca returned to her seat.
When people saw her, they started surrounding her again. Mo said, "Everyone, please return to your seats. The
ceremony is about to begin."
When they heard her, they all stopped and went back to their seats.
Luca gave Mo a nod as her words saved her a lot of trouble.
Mo nodded back, and then she heard Dr. Jackson come over to ask, "Is Mr. Crawford not coming?"
"He's coming. He'll be here in about five minutes," said Mo after glancing at the time.
"Very well, then. Ms. Stone, please tell the hotel manager to get ready to serve the food," said Dr. Jackson. Although
this was a celebration dinner, it was also a team-bonding activity.
Feasting was the most important thing.
Mo nodded and notified Luke that the ceremony was about to start before going to find the hotel manager.
After Luke received Mo's message, he closed the page and told Marcos that he had to attend a ceremony. Then, he

His appearance became the focus of everyone present.
"Good evening, Mr. Crawford."
"Hello, Mr. Crawford."
Everywhere he went, there was an endless stream of greetings.
Luke nodded slightly and walked to Luca's table. Then, he asked her, "Dr. Craw, is anyone sitting here?"
Luca noticed that the seat next to her was indeed vacant, and it would not be nice of her to lie with so many people
watching, so she bit the bullet and said, "No one is sitting here."
"I'll sit here, then," said Luke while completely ignoring the table full of executives.
After sitting down, he looked at all the stunned research professors and said, "Professors, you've worked hard. I
hope that you'll continue doing your best in the new year and achieve greater things for Watson
Biopharmaceuticals."
"Mr. Crawford is right. We'll work even harder." Dr. Linwood was not expecting Luke to sit at their table. He glanced
at Luca and wondered if there was actually something going on between the two of them.
Why did he feel that both of them had a lot of history between them?
Dr. Linwood was taken aback when he met Luke's gaze, which seemed like a warning...
