Tina could see that the two men were here to hike up Mount Jadeite. She shot a glance at Luca. Luca did not enjoy crowded places, but two more people did not crowd up the place at all…

“Why don’t we go together?” Tina asked.

Luca did not say anything. She knew that Luke would definitely be joining them the moment she saw him.

Even if Tina did not invite them, they would be hiking up the same trail anyway. It did not really matter if Tina invited them.

That was why Luca kept quiet.

“Mr. Crawford? What do you think?” Jason turned his head to look at Luke.

They did not mean to follow Luca. Luke was tired of working during vacation time, so he suggested they hike up Mount Jadeite. Naturally, as his assistant, Jason had to go too.

Fortunately, Jason enjoyed hiking.

“We’ll go together,” Luke said. He went to the stall to buy a map and two trekking poles, then handed a trekking pole to Jason.

“Thank you, Mr. Crawford,” Jason said as he took it.

Luca spread the map open and studied it while the two men talked. There was nothing much to study anyway; it was only one way up.

“Let’s go! Let’s go!” Tina said cheerfully. She was not nervous even though her boss was there.

She knew Luke’s personality very well after working for him for so long. He might be serious when it came to working, but he was quite amiable otherwise, despite maintaining a cold demeanor.

Luca folded the map, stuffed it in the pocket of her tracksuit, and walked up the mountain with Tina.

The scenery on the mountain was beautiful. The four people make frequent stops along the trail to admire the view. No one complained that they were tired, nor did anyone make any disheartening remarks. It was quite a relaxing trip.
