Luca placed the takeout on the dining table. This villa was big. It was much bigger compared to the bachelor's apartment.

She walked around the house, wondering if Luke had installed surveillance cameras in the house. However, she did not find any.

Even so, her not being able to find any did not mean that none were installed. Luca sat on the chair beside the dining table and looked at the takeout. She was lost in thoughts.

Her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw that there was a message from Luke.

Luca tapped on the screen. His voice came into his ears. “Have you received the takeout I ordered?"

The man's voice was deep and hoarse as though it was a ray of sunshine in the cold weather, slightly warming up her cold heart. Luca was startled. She picked up the phone and replied to him, "I got it. Thank you, Mr. Crawford."

[You're welcome. Eat it while it's warm.] Luke did not send an audio message this time. He replied with a text message instead.

Luca looked at those six simple words. Then, she opened the lids of the food containers. Luke had ordered all her favorite food...

She picked up the spoon and ate a mouthful. It tasted good.

Luca thought of cleaning up after dinner. However, she realized the whole villa had already been cleaned up. Hence, she walked into the study.

She was planning to continue her research since she was free tonight.

An hour later, Luca received Amur's call.

"Amur, why are you calling me at this hour?" Luca asked. She knew Amur was busy with his mission, so she tried her best not to disturb him.

Luca had no idea about how Amur's mission was going. She was worried about him.

Amur listened to Luca's voice and took a deep breath. He sounded excited. "Luca, I've accomplished my mission here."
