Chapter 1344 The Distance Between Them
Jason saw them off at the front gate. They were about a hundred meters away from where Luke's car was parked.
While they were walking toward Luke's car, Luca took the opportunity to say, "It's fine, Mr. Crawford, I can go back on my own."
"Are you afraid of me?" Luke suddenly stopped walking, turned around, and looked into her eyes.
Luca was taken aback by the question. Was she afraid of him? She could not say so, but she hoped that she could avoid any
interactions with him. If she eventually failed to escape from Abel's clutches, or if she was too late and he had already found
someone else, she would not have to be so sad.
By reducing her interactions with him, she hoped that she would be able to accept the eventuality that she might not meet him
again.
"I'm not afraid of you. It's just that it's already so late, and our houses are in separate directions. If you send me home, it'll be
very late by the time you get back to your house. Mrs. Crawford should be waiting for you at home, right?" Luca also stopped
walking.
"She never waits for me," Luke said as he stared at her. The street light cast a dreamy aura around Luca's figure.
That woman back at home was an impostor, and she could not be the real Bianca no matter how hard she tried.
The only woman that would wait for him was Bianca. No other woman could replace her position in his heart.
Seeing that Luca did not speak, Luke continued, "If you don't want to get into my car, it'll be even later by the time I get home."
Luca was speechless. If she did not get into his car, the both of them would be standing there for a very long time.
Eventually, she said,"... Thank you, Mr. Crawford."
Luke continued walking after he heard that. Luca walked next to him.
After the two people got into the car, Luke told Sean to send Luca back to her apartment first. Then, Luke leaned back on the
seat and closed his eyes.

Luca looked at him with the corner of her eye. Her hands are clasped tightly together. Whenever she was with him, she dared
not move a muscle.
Carefully, she leaned back on her seat. Even though it was said that one would not get drunk easily on red wine, she had drunk
quite a bit, and she felt a little dizzy.
After leaning backward, she slowly closed her eyes.
"Sir, Ms. Craw, we have arrived." That was the next thing she heard.
Luca slowly opened her eyes. She had been feeling dizzy because of the alcohol, and it was a smooth ride. She must
have fallen asleep earlier.
She glanced outside the window. Indeed, they were in front of her apartment.
Luca sat up straight. Before she could open the door, she heard Luke say, "I have something I want to talk to you about."
Her hand froze in mid-air.
"Sean, would you mind stepping outside for a bit?" Luke said.
"Not at all, Sir." Sean quickly stepped out of the car.
Only Luca and Luke were left in the car.
She saw the man slowly sit up straight. Subconsciously, she also straightened her back. The two people looked at each other.
"What do you want to talk about, Mr. Crawford?"
"Why are you so afraid of me?" Luke asked.
Luca bit her lower lip. She did not want to answer the question.
She used to be afraid of him. The man was powerful, domineering, and possessive. Whenever she was with him, she felt so
restricted that she struggled to breathe.
She was afraid to fall helplessly for him, just like so many other women did.

However, she was not afraid of Luke now.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Luke could see that Luca was deep in thought. If she continued to bite her lip, she might
bruise it.
Luca slowly opened her mouth. "I'm not afraid of you, so I don't know what to say."
"You say that you're not afraid of me, but you always want to avoid me. People who avoid me tend to be afraid of me," Luke said.
He could not understand what she was thinking, but he wanted to find out more.
"I’m not like them. To me, you're my superior at work, and I'm only an employee. I think there ought to be some distance between
us so that people would not misunderstand. There's nothing more I hate than being misunderstood, and I hope that you won't
trouble me this way," Luca said, hoping that Luke would understand her predicament and not worsen the situation.
"I agree with what you say, that there ought to be some distance between a boss and their employee. However, I only like
employees with clean backgrounds. What are you hiding from me?" Luke gradually inched closer to Luca.
Luca could sense that Luke was getting closer and closer. She wanted to open the door and leave, but she realized that the
driver had locked the door from the outside...
"I'm sure that you have investigated my background, Mr. Crawford. What else can I tell you? Also, I believe that we've talked
about it the last time."
Luke gazed at her intently.
Indeed, they had talked about her background the last time, but he thought that there was still something missing.
Luca had so many secrets. It made him want to find out more...
"I'm tired, Mr. Crawford. I want to go home and rest." Luca saw that Luke was looking at her. His gaze was like a whirlpool that
threatened to pull her in if she was not careful.
All she wanted was some peace and quiet.
"If you want to rest, you have to tell me who you really are." Luke remembered the odd sense of familiarity that he found in her
when they first met.

It was as though she had been by his side for many years.
He used to dismiss that feeling as mere fantasy, but after discovering that Bianca was an impostor, he realized that there might
be some truth to what he felt.
"I..." Luca was at a loss for words as she watched him inch closer and closer to her until there was less than a foot of space
between them. She bit her lip angrily and said, "I'm Ivana Luca Craw from Russia. What else do you want to know?"
"So many things. I want to know what you're thinking and what you're hiding from me," Luke said.
There was only a handspan between them. The masculine hormones from his body took her breath away. Before she lost control
of herself, she shoved the man away with both of her hands. "Mr. Crawford, please think of Mrs. Crawford."
After Luke was shoved backward, he leaned against the car door and raised his eyebrows.
Luca took a deep breath to calm down. Her face was beet- red. If she had not shoved him away, their lips might have touched...
"Let me tell you once and for all, Mr. Crawford, what you see is the real me. I am only your employee, and I've never thought that
I'd be anything else. Please respect my boundaries and do not do this again. I will not tell anyone else about what happened
earlier," she said.
Luke could tell that she was hoping to distance herself from him. With a pensive expression on his face, he took out his phone
and gave the driver a call. "Open the door."
Sean immediately came over and opened the car door for Luca.
Immediately after the door was opened, Luca instantly felt the cool night breeze hit her face. She got out of the car and ran away
as though she was escaping from something scary.
