Luke noticed she was evading his gaze and was feeling helpless.

She failed to make out the helplessness and frustration in his eyes.

"You're indeed late, Dr. Craw. Say, how should I punish you?" Listening to Luke's deep voice, it sounded like he was angry.

Luca was astonished as Luke was not the type to mutter gibberish.

She thought he would just coldly say, 'Get in the car.' After all, she was not actually late.

However, Luke did not act the way she expected and asked her directly how he should punish her.

The word 'punish' was usually used as a joke between couples, parents speaking to their children, or even teachers speaking to their students. This sort of thing was not something that a boss would say to his subordinates.

"Hmm?" Luke voiced out after noticing that Luca had yet to reply.

Luca felt that something was off about Luke. She had no choice but to say, "Mr. Crawford, I don't think I should be punished.”

"Tell me your reasoning." Luke saw her lower her head and wanted to lift her chin with his hand before kissing her.

"I arrived here eight minutes earlier than the time you stated. Logically speaking, I'm not late," Luca explained. This was not how one survived in the workplace, but she had to say it.

'Otherwise, will I really be punished by Lyke?'

"Then tell me, are you in the wrong?" Luke squinted his eyes. 'After changing her identity, she has gotten better at talking, so how could she allow a man like that to keep pestering her?'

Luke was mad.

Luca felt chilly. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. "It's my fault for making my superior wait for me, but this is about principals at work. I'm not really at fault here."

Luke heard her debating with him and felt helpless. He pulled the door of the driver's seat and said, "Get in the car."
