Luke paused his gesture while he was turning the pages of the document. Then, he continued to read the documents as if nothing had happened. “We have to speed up the progress of the project. We'll need a regular Russian translator, and we can't afford any unforeseen circumstances on your part anymore."

Luca, who read between the lines, knew that he had only sent someone to pick her up because he wanted to ensure the company's project would go on as scheduled.

After all, translating was an essential job for overseas projects like this.

Luca nodded. She stood up with the document in her arms and said, "I got it. I'll try my best to translate these documents."

"Okay." Luke did not lift his head to look at her.

Luca was upset. The person in front of her was aloof. That was his true colors, but she could not help herself from being unreasonable. She was hoping that the man in front of her could spare a little warmth for her.

However, given her identity and background now, she could not ask for it.

There was an awkward silence again because of the few simple words he said. Luca carried the folders in her arms and grasped them tightly as she watched the man do his work. She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Crawford, if there's nothing else, I'll go out to work first."

"Alright." Luke did not make her stay.

Luca left the office with the folders in her hands. She had just closed the door when she saw Jason walking toward her. He saw Luca and asked, "Dr. Craw, has the boss arranged a job for you?"

"Yes, some translating jobs," said Luca while she held the folders in her arms.

Jason shot a glance at the folders. He recognized the two folders. "I was the one who arranged these two folders. They're quite thick. It's going to be tough for you."

"It's no big deal. Haven't you eaten yet?" Luca noticed the lunchbox he was carrying in his hands.

Jason nodded and answered, "Not yet. Everyone on this floor is working overtime. We haven't eaten yet. But this one is for the boss. You've just come out from there. Is there anything unusual about him?"
