Although the woman in front of her was skinny, she was tall. She was a foot taller than Luca, and she did not seem like the type
who one would fall easily.
The woman shook her head and replied, “No, thanks. I was in a hurry. It's not your fault."
After that, she headed straight and kept going.
She was slightly limping after she fell just now. Luca felt sorry for her and came forward to help her up. "It's my fault. Where are
you going? Let me help you."
“I'm going home. It's not far away from here. Young lady, go ahead. I'll be fine." The woman did not intend to blame Luca for it. It
was not a big deal.
"Since it's not far away, let me send you home. You don't want to head to the hospital for a check-up, so at least let me send you
home. That way, I won't worry about you," Luca insisted.
"Okay. Thank you." The woman did not insist on walking back herself. She let Luca help her home.
Fortunately, the weather was cold but she wore enough layers to keep herself warm. Hence, it only hurt a little.
"It's nothing." Luca carefully helped the woman up. Even though she wore layers of clothes, Luca could still feel how skinny and
weak the woman was.
Foreigners were tall and big-boned. That was why the woman looked taller than Luca, but she was skinny.
Luca immediately understood why the woman fell after she bumped into her.
Luca could not help but wonder at the thought of this. Foreigners usually could get a good job in A City. Many parents were
willing to send their children to foreign teachers to teach them other languages.
Hence, they were able to live a comfortable life with such a job.
However, the woman in front of her... Other than her blonde hair and blue eyes, the way she dressed and her complexion were
the same as the people living on this street.
She looked poor.
Luca could not help but get even more confused. She was good at judging someone's character. Even though the woman fell
after being bumped into, she did not pester Luca. All she wanted was to go home. The woman's gentle aura made Luca feel like
the woman in front of her was a well-educated middle-aged woman.
"We've arrived. Thank you, young lady." The woman interrupted Luca's thoughts. Luca lifted her head and glanced at the shabby
house. The lower class in A City would usually stay in places like this.
Normally, it was hard to see foreigners staying on this street.
"Okay. Oh, I'll leave you my name card. Feel free to call me anytime when you need help," said Luca as she took her name card
out of her pocket and handed it to her.
The woman took the name card from Luca, smiled, and replied, "Don't worry. I won't come looking for trouble."
"I shall leave." Luca gave her a polite nod, turned around, and wondered which country the woman came from.
She could speak English well, and she did not have a foreign accent.
While Luca pondered, she glanced at the time. She would not make it to the office before getting off work if she did not hail a ride
soon. She quickly walked out of the alley and hailed a taxi back to T Corporation.
Luca managed to return to her office before it was time to get off work.
She pushed her office door open, only to notice that there was a basket of fruits on her coffee table.
Luca blinked her eyes. She left in a hurry just now. That was why she did not notice whether the fruits were already on the table
or not.
She turned around, headed to the assistants' office, and asked Zoey, who was busy photocopying the documents, “Ms. Davis,
what's with the fruit basket in my office?”
"Dr. Craw, it's the fruit basket Boss asked Mr. Doyle to get for you." Zoey smiled. Zoey already knew something was going on
between Luca and their boss, so she chuckled.
"When was it sent here?" Luca asked as she became alert.
If Jason had sent the fruits to her office while she went out, then she probably could not hide the fact that she had gone out
during office hours from Luke.
Now, Matysh still had his eyes on her. Luca would certainly get scolded by Luke for hiding things from him and not asking Warren
to send her around.
"It was around noon. You already had lunch at that time, and it was inappropriate to deliver the fruit basket Boss got you to the
meeting room. So, he left it in your office. Didn't you see it just now? The fruit basket has always been there," answered Zoey
while she arranged the photocopied documents.
Luca let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was sent around noon time.
"I was in a hurry, so I didn't notice. Thanks." After Luca thanked her, she turned around and returned to her office.
Luca sat on the sofa and stared at the fruit basket. Even though it was left there for an afternoon, the temperature was low, and
that was why the fruits still looked fresh.
They were all imported fruits.
Luke had prepared this fruit basket for her.
Luca glanced at the time. It was time to get off work. She tidied her stuff and carried the fruit basket along with her.
After she punched out of work, she headed to the basement parking lot. Warren was waiting beside the car for her.
“Ms. Craw, you've finished work?" Warren asked and opened the rear door of the car.
“Yes. Thank you." Luca bent down and got into the car. Then, she closed the car door. The fruit basket was placed on her thighs
steadily.
Warren sat in the driver's seat. He fastened the seat belt and asked, "Would you like to go home now?"
Home...
Luca's lips curled a little. That was her home.
"Yes. Send me home please," said Luca. The adults had started working, but the schools were not open yet. The kids must miss
her. Besides, Vivian would be waiting for her too. She wondered what Vivian would do to kill time.
The phone in her pocket vibrated for a moment. Luca picked it up and glanced at it. It was a message from Luke.
[Have you gotten off work?]
[Yes. I just got into the car.] Luca gently tapped on the phone screen and replied.
[Stay safe. I'll be working overtime at the office today. Don't wait for me for dinner.] Luke replied to her message soon.
[Okay.] Luca placed her phone back into her pocket after the message was successfully sent.
It seemed like they had a bond of understanding between them. When Luca knew Luke would not reply to her message, he truly
would not reply.
Hence, the phone that was in her pocket no longer rang while she was on her way back.
When she arrived at the gate and Warren was about to swipe the card to enter, Luca noticed a man standing beside the car.
She quickly said, "Warren, wait!"
"Ms. Craw, what's the matter?" Warren looked at her with confusion through the rearview mirror.
Nothing had happened when they were on the way here, but Luca's tone of voice made him worried.
"I saw someone familiar. Park the car beside the road first. Don't block the entrance," said Luca.
"Okay, Ms. Craw." Warren reversed the car and parked the car at the temporary parking lot beside the street.
Luca placed the fruit basket on the empty seat beside her, pushed the door open, and prepared to get out of the car.
"Ms. Craw, be careful," reminded Warren.
"It's okay. He's someone I know. He won't hurt me." Luca smiled and bent down to get out of the car.
