She sat on the dressing chair, recalling the scene when Luke had just come in.

Luke sat on this chair. It was uncomfortable as the height of the table and the chair was not suitable for a man who was almost 190cm tall to sit.

Luca noticed that Luke was hunching when he sat on the chair.

That was the only way to sit there and work, but such a sitting position was difficult for Luke, who had gotten used to sitting up straight while he was working.

It was like correcting a man's walking and sitting posture when he often did it the wrong way. It would be difficult and painful for him.

It was the same for Luke to sit on a dressing chair. It must have been tiring for him...

Luca's mind was full of Luke. She could not help but shake her head, trying to stop herself from thinking about him.

Luca took her skincare products out. After she put it on her face, she took a notebook and a pen out of the drawer. Then, she sat on the bed with the blanket covering her legs. She placed a pillow behind her waist, adjusted herself into a comfortable sitting posture, and began to analyze the experimental data.

She tried to focus, but there was no way she could do it. Luke's silhouette lingered in her mind, and she was unable to get him off her mind.

Her bedroom door was pushed open.

Luca was so preoccupied that she was surprised by the sudden creaking sound of the door opening.

She lifted her head and looked at the door. Luke was holding a pillow and a book. He walked into her room.

“Mr. Crawford, you're.." Luca sat up straight and looked at him.

Luke had changed into his pajamas. He walked to her bedside and signaled her to move over to the side of the bed. Then, he said, "I'm sleeping here tonight."

"No!" Luca unconsciously answered him, "You can't sleep here."

"Reason." Luke noticed that Luca refused to move away and give him space. He could not be bothered that the remaining space on the bed was only enough for him to lay down on the bed. He put his pillow on the bed and sat down on the bed.

As Luca watched him getting onto the bed from behind, she immediately said, "Nina is still here."
