Luca met Luke’s eyes. She caught a glimpse of mischief in his eyes. Her face reddened at once.

He was not awake when she woke up. Could it be that he had woken up in the middle of the night or perhaps he was only pretending to be asleep the whole time? Did he know she slept with him on the same bed last night? Did he know she had just lied?

When Luca wanted to know what that hint of mischief meant, Luke had already turned his face away.

Tia listened to Luca’s explanation and forced a smile. She thought her status in Luke’s heart had changed when Luke invited her to join him for the business dinner. She forced herself to drink on behalf of him and was harassed the whole night. She had only thought of sharing his burden.

She knew nothing about business, but she did everything she could for him.

Yet, she woke up realizing that she was sleeping alone in the room. She was devastated when she saw Luca in Luke’s room.

Tia shot a glance inside the suite. Indeed, there were two bedrooms. They had probably slept in their rooms last night.

She secretly blamed Jason for arranging for Luke and Luca to sleep in the same suite. Still, she wore a smile on her face and invited Luca, saying, "So that's the case. But this five-star hotel is indeed popular. Sometimes, you won’t be able to book another room when it's late. It's my fault. If I hadn’t drunk too much, I wouldn't have taken up Dr. Craw's room."

Tia was busy expressing how helpless she was and reminding Luke that she had been a great help to him.

Luke looked at her without any expression on his face. There was not even a hint of gratitude.

He said thoughtfully, “You know a lot.”

Tia thought he was praising her. She was delighted for a while, then she became humble at once. It took her a moment to think that it might not be a compliment.

She hurriedly explained, "This hotel is not far away from my consultation office. My patients would usually stay here when they travel from different countries to see me. Sometimes, if they don’t reserve a room in advance, they'd have to find another hotel. That's why I know this."
