Luca returned to the office and placed her laptop down. As she was afraid of making Luke wait any longer, she hurried over to the elevator.

Luke was standing there.

Luca walked over and said, "I'm done, Mr. Crawford."

"Alright," Luke said as he nodded and pressed the elevator button. The elevator had already arrived at that floor beforehand, so the doors immediately opened when he pressed the button.

Luke walked in first, and Luca went in after him with her head lowered. When she noticed that Luke had been pressing on the door open button, she felt her heart flutter once more at how considerate he was.

He only let go after she walked in.

The elevator doors closed slowly, and Luca watched Luke press on the button for the first floor. She asked, "Mr. Crawford, don't we need to go to the parking lot first?"

"We'll be eating at a place nearby, so there's no need to drive," Luke explained.

Eating at a place nearby...

In that case, it meant that not did Tina know but the entire company would learn about it too.

Luca felt apprehensive about it, but there was nothing she could do as he had made the decision himself...

When the elevator arrived on the first floor, Luke walked out first with his hands in his pockets while Luca walked behind him with her head lowered.

A group of employees happened to be returning from their meal. When they saw their boss and Luca, they hurriedly made way for them and called out in greeting, "Hello, Boss. Hello, Dr. Craw."

Luca felt like she was an attachment. It was because of Luke that not only did these people all know who she was now, but they also sounded like they were trying to curry favor with her when they said hi.

Things felt like they were spiraling more and more out of control. She felt her head begin to swell.

Luke nodded aloofly in reply before walking out of the building.

Luca hurried after him.
