As Luca and Luke delved into the discussion, her curiosity got the better of her. She could not help but want to probe for more details.

Luke, however, shook his head, and said, "The one pulling the strings wasn’t Evan."

"Not him?" Luca's curiosity intensified. If it was not Evan, then who could it be?

Her eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity.

"Shireen has a childhood friend, but they lost touch in middle school..." Luke came across this information when he was investigating Evan.

He had not dug into Shireen's past.

"Then?" Luca heard him and began to form a rough picture in her mind.

Perhaps it unfolded just as she suspected...

Luke explained, "I'm not sure about the details that followed. All I know is that the person obstructing Shireen's job search is her childhood friend."

With a gentle lift of his hand, he lightly brushed Luca's nose.

Luca initially thought Luke had more information, but it turned out to be just this.

"I think I've got the gist of it," affirmed Luca. There must have been some misunderstanding between them, which caused Shireen's childhood friend to undermine her job search.

Even though Luca was unsure of the specifics, she was confident that Shireen's friend must wield considerable influence, explaining the hurdles in her job search.

No matter how influential her friend was, Luca reckoned that they dared not to confront Luke. That was why Shireen faced no interference when she went to interview at Brilliant Architectural.

The childhood friend likely knew that Brilliant had Luke as a supporter.

Consequently, Luca smoothly secured the opportunity at that time.

"So, do you know how Shireen and her childhood friend are doing now?" asked Luca. After she returned, she did not intentionally engage with or learn about them.
