Tina nodded and said, “I wanted to invite you, but you said that you’re not into exercise. That’s why I invited Dr. Craw to go along with me.”

Zoey placed her plate on the table. “Yeah, I’d rather not spend my vacation time on tiring activities like hiking. There are many more fun things to do here. I’ve heard there’s a theme park and a karaoke center nearby, so I’d rather go to those places than hiking. Isn’t that so, Ms. Lynn?”

Jenni sat down on another seat at the table. She looked at Luca, wondering how she could be up and about when she nearly drowned the day before. She thought that Luca had faked the drowning to evoke Luke’s pity.

“It’s up to the individual how they want to enjoy their vacation, Zoey. I’m quite surprised, though, from Dr. Craw’s behavior in the pool yesterday, I thought that she’s not very active. Why are you going hiking today, Dr. Craw?” Jenni asked. Luca could hear the sarcasm in her voice.

Luca was deathly pale after she was fished out of the pool the day before. Jenni could not believe that she would be up and about today.

“Everyone has their strengths. Dr. Craw looked great in her swimsuit yesterday. She must work out regularly. Isn’t that true, Dr. Craw?” Tina spoke up for Luca.

Luca smiled. She did not answer the question but instead said, “It’s true that I’m not good at swimming.”

“If you’re not good at swimming, then you shouldn’t have stepped into the pool. You’re lucky that Mr. Crawford was alert enough to save you, but no one can surely say the next time. Please don’t misunderstand. I’m not wishing you ill will.” Jenni’s words were tinged with jealousy. Luca was not her superior at work, so Jenni was not afraid to offend her.

Luca only smiled and said, “Thanks for your concern. I’ll be careful from now on.”

“Heh,” Tina smirked and began to eat.

She and Luca did not stuff herself with food because they would be hiking later. They packed some drinking water and buns before leaving the hotel.

They did not walk to their destination because they wanted to conserve energy for the hike. Instead, they took the tour car so that they could appreciate the view of the mountain villa too.

“Don’t mind what Ms. Lynn said earlier, Dr. Craw.” Tina had been working in the company for a long time. Even though she did not know everyone too well, she could guess what Jenni was thinking earlier.
