Chapter 1817 Luke’s Emotions Were Manipulated By Her

Luca shook her head. What would happen if Luke found out about it?

If Luke was really bothered about her blind date, then everyone in the office would get into

trouble...

Luca glanced at the time. There were two minutes left until lunch break was over. She trotted over

to clock in.

Luke walked out of his office and saw Luca clocking in. Then, he walked toward her.

Luca turned around and saw the man in front of her. She could not help but be startled for a

moment. She lowered her head unconsciously, avoiding his gaze.

She had no idea why she had this guilty feeling when she saw Luke...

It was as if she had done something wrong and was caught...

However, she was Luca now, not Bianca. The identity Abel had given her was a single, unmarried

woman, not a married woman...

“Mr. Crawford, I'm going back to work now,” said Luca.

Luke frowned when he noticed Luca was running away from him like a mouse running away from a

cat. He asked, “Why are you so late?”

“I was having lunch just now and lost track of the time.” Luca noticed that Luke was still talking

normally. He just sounded a little serious. She figured that he probably did not know that she had

gone on a blind date, so she told him a white lie.

“Alright, then.” Luke did not put her on the spot. Even though Luca was lowering her head as

though she was hiding something from him, he did not force her to tell him anything.

Luca nodded and trotted back into her office.

She sat down at her desk and took her phone out, noticing that Enoch had sent another message to

her: [Are you available this weekend?]

When she saw this message, Luca muttered to herself, “Oh no.”

Looking at the situation now, it was clear that Enoch was interested in her.

It was not because Luca was narcissistic, but a man must be interested in a woman when he could

not wait to ask her out again right after seeing her.

Although Enoch was a good man, she had no feelings for him...

Luca shifted her eyes and replied to him: [I'm swamped with work recently. I'm not sure if I'm

available this weekend. Why don't we talk about this later?]

Enoch replied to her message soon: [I'm sorry. I didn't consider that you might be busy with work.

Then we'll talk about it later]

Luca's head hurt again when she read the last sentence of the message—'We'll talk about it later.’

She kept massaging her temples.

Luke saw her when he was passing by her office. He stopped and stood at the door to look at her

without entering her office. “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Luca stopped massaging her temples. She looked at him with confusion and shook her head. "No."

“Then why are you massaging your temples?” Luke asked again.

Luca glanced at her desk and explained, “It's nothing. One of the sentences I'm translating is a little

harder. I'm just thinking of how I should translate it.”

Luke stepped into her office and walked toward her desk. “Which one?”

“I've already figured out how to translate it. Thank you, Mr. Crawford,” Luca replied immediately. She

did not expect him to come in because of this.

Luke's eyes darkened. He felt that something was wrong with Luca.

However, he could not tell what it was.

Luca met Luke's deep eyes that carried a lot of wisdom. She was worried that Luke might see

through her, so she picked up the document and said, “I'm getting back to work.”

Luke nodded. He reminded her with a cold expression on his face, saying, “You can ask me if you

need any help in translating.”

"Alright, Mr. Crawford,” replied Luca.

Luke did not say another word. He turned around and walked out of her office.

Luca let out a sigh of relief when she watched him leave.

She really could not figure out how Luke was feeling now. Previously, Nina told Bianca that Luke's

emotions were manipulated by her.

However, she was Luca now, not Bianca.

Even though Luke had feelings for her, he would not have fallen so hard for her. Then what were all

his emotions about?

Luca sighed as she looked at the piles of documents. It was tough for Luca to stay beside Luke.

It felt better to be Bianca.

At least when she was still Bianca back then, she never had to handle anyone's mood swings. There

were only the occasional times when Luke accidentally pissed her off...

On the other hand.

When Nina was busy handling the documents at Brillant, Sue pushed her office door open and

dashed into her office with a panicked look on her face.

Nina was startled by her actions. “Sue, what happened?”

Sue looked at Nina's rosy cheeks. Ever since she made up with Percy, her mood had been getting

better day by day. Her cheeks had turned rosy too. When Sue was on her way to the office this

morning, she was exclaiming how different women looked when they were in love.

“What's wrong? Is there something on my face?” Nina touched her face curiously.

Sue remembered what she wanted to tell Nina. She handed her phone to Nina and said, “No. Look

at this. Something's happened.”

"What's going on?” Nina took Sue's phone from her curiously.

There was a video app opened on the phone. Nina's face turned pale white when she glanced at the

title.

“What is this?” Nina asked.

"It's Madison Johnston. She got engaged with Percy back then. She hosted a live stream to show her

jumping off a building,” Sue explained.

“Why is she...” Nina was startled. She widened her eyes as she looked at the video.

Madison was holding her phone herself while doing the live broadcast. Nina could only see a pair of

legs hanging in the air. The crowd who was watching her from below looked tiny.

She could see how tall the building was.

"She said the Johnston family is doomed in her live steam. And she claimed that the man she loves

isn't in love with her. He's together with another woman now. She thinks there's no point living in

this world anymore.” Sue explained.

Nina's hand trembled. “No way. She can't jump off the building. No way. Where is she? I have to go

there.”

She stood up suddenly. The Johnston family fell from grace because Percy had secretly plotted

against them, causing their family to face huge difficulties.

Madison was talking about Percy when she said she got dumped...

It was because Percy had gotten together with Nina that he fought against the Mallory family

publicly. That was how the news spread. Madison must have found out about this, and that was why

she could not take it anymore.

"Nina, calm down. The live stream has already ended!" Sue held down Nina's shoulders as Nina was

acting so hysterically that her shoulders were shaking.

“Then what happened to Madison...” Nina's voice was trembling when she asked the question.

"Don’t worry. Madison is alright. When she started the live stream, the firefighters had already

launched a rescue attempt. Madison is fine and she’s not hurt. But she was sent to the hospital by

the firefighters to receive treatment because of her emotional issues,” Sue replied. She only dared to

show Nina the video was because she was sure that Madison was safe now.

She could not hide this from Nina because it was only a matter of time before Nina found out about

it.

"I'm glad she’s okay. What a relief.” Nina had yet to recover from the shock. It made her go weak in

the knees as she slumped in her chair. It was as though she was the one sitting on the 20-story high

building.
