Chapter 1380 Agree To His Request

Luca's expression was calm. She moved her lips in response. Her heart was beating like a drum and

she was overthinking.

“What does he mean?’

Knock, knock. When his shut office door was knocked on, Luke looked away from her face and said,

"Come in."

Mo came in holding a cup of coffee. She delivered the coffee following Dr. Cole's orders. The

moment she opened the door, she saw Luca.

She froze but quickly returned to normal. She brought the coffee to Luke, put it down, and said,

"Mr. Crawford, this is your coffee."

Luke glanced at the coffee and nodded. "Close the door when you leave.”

Mo nodded and slipped out of the office. She closed the door on her way out.

The thick wooden door acted as a barrier, so she could no longer see what was happening inside.

Mo fiddled with her hair in annoyance. She did not expect Luca to be in Luke's office. Dr. Cole had

set her up.

After Mo left, Luca changed the subject and said, "Mr. Crawford, is there anything else that you'd

like to discuss?"

"What do you think about what happened?" Luke asked.

"My research was sabotaged and I trust that the matter will be investigated.” Luca's hands were

tightly intertwined and placed on her thighs. She was highly cautious as she was well aware of his

shrewdness.

Luke noticed how calm she was. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "It seems like you already know

who did it?"

"No. I have a long name list but I'd need to trouble Mr. Doyle to investigate further on who exactly

did it," Luca said. When Luke announced that Jason would lead the investigation, she knew that he

took this matter seriously.

To her surprise, he did not hold her accountable but rather admonished Dr. Cole instead.

He did not have a separate conversation with anyone before setting his target on Dr. Cole. Luca was

not sure if he did it on purpose.

"Mr. Doyle will find out who did this. Also, I want to ask you for a favor." Luke's gaze darkened a

little.

"Mr. Crawford, what can I help you with?" Luca did not agree just yet. She wanted to see what was

the favor he wanted from her.

Luke said, "Dr. Park gave Tommy a physical examination and advised us to pay more attention to his

health. You seem to be an expert in this aspect. I want to ask for your help to improve Tommy's

health.”

A child going through a serious illness would not cause their immune system to weaken, but Tommy

was different. He was sick due to a bacterial infection. After antibiotics, his body would be weaker

than before.

Luca wanted to agree. She felt more at ease if she could take care of him.

However, it was troublesome for her to take care of Tommy considering that she did not live with

Luke...

Seeing that Luca had yet to agree, Luke said, "Every afternoon, after Tommy is back from school, I'll

have Zander send him to your apartment. When he’s done with dinner, Zander will take him home. I

want you to improve his health by focusing on providing him with a nutritious dinner. Would that

be okay?"

Luke asked for a favor humbly. Luca could tell that he was being sincere from his tone of voice.

There was no hidden meaning in his words.

Luca thought about it for a while. It was not an issue for her to make use of the opportunity to cook

nutritious food for Tommy for dinner.

In this way, she did not have to go in and out of Crawford Manor in the name of improving

Tommy's health.

Luca nodded and said, "Mr. Crawford, if you trust me enough to leave your child with me, I'm happy

to have him over for dinner every day."

Luke nodded when he heard that she agreed. His phone happened to ring at that moment. He

glanced at the caller and said, "That's about it. When Tommy is discharged from the hospital, I will

make arrangements as per what we've discussed. As for the charges for your troubles, you'll be paid

once a week."

Luca stood up when she heard his reply. She nodded and said, "No problem, Mr. Crawford. I'll leave

you to it."

After she said that, she left his office.

After she left, Luke answered the call. The person on the other end of the call was Jason, "Boss, I'm

already at Watson Biopharmaceuticals.”

"Go straight to the top floor," Luke said. He had already planned to meet Luca, so he made an

appearance not long after the incident happened.

That was why he was able to make it when they had a meeting.

As for Jason, he arranged for him to come over after the incident so he arrived late.

"Yes, Boss." Jason ended the call after he heard Luke's words.

Luke stood up and swayed his coffee cup. The coffee had cooled down and was not as fragrant as

before. He had always been picky with coffee so he simply put the coffee cup down and left it there.

The other side.

As soon as Mo returned to the office, she was summoned by Dr. Cole.

After she walked in, Dr. Cole immediately asked, "Was the coffee delivered to Mr. Crawford?"

"Dr. Cole, it has been delivered.” Mo felt a little dissatisfied. Everyone in their department thought

that Luca and Luke had something going on. Dr. Cole planned for her to barge in when they were

both in the office together.

It felt like Dr. Cole wanted her to collect some intel for gossip. She felt lucky that Luke did not blame

her. Otherwise, she would be jobless.

"Good to hear.” Dr. Cole rubbed his hands and asked, "Do you know what Mr. Crawford and Dr.

Craw were talking about?"

"Dr. Cole, the soundproofing in Mr. Crawford's office is great. How would I know?" Mo was still

smiling on the surface.

It seems that he did send me to listen in on their conversation. All I did was send Mr. Crawford a

cup of coffee. How could I have heard anything? Did Dr. Cole do something wrong? Why is he

acting so panicky? How could he think of such things and even send me to do his dirty work..."

Dr. Cole was stunned. The soundproofing measures on the top floor were the best in the entire

building.

He asked, "When you went in, didn't you see anything?"

"I only saw Mr. Crawford and Dr. Craw sitting face to face across the table. They seemed to be

talking about something,” Mo replied.

Dr. Cole was a little disappointed. It seemed that there was no new information he could obtain

from Mo.

He nodded and waved at her. "Okay, got it. You can head off now."

"Yes." Although Mo was dissatisfied, Dr. Cole was still her boss. She could only swallow her

dissatisfaction.

She had just walked out of the office when she heard him say, "By the way, get Talia to come to my

office.”

"Okay." Mo walked out and closed the door on her way out.

As the chief assistant of the entire department, she knew about what was going on between Dr.

Cole and Talia.

She was not sure how many people knew that Talia relied on her body to get her position, but she

was as clear as day about it.

She was smart enough to pretend to know nothing about it.
