Chapter 2205 Endless Troubles

It had been a long time since Luke had a lie-in. He blamed Luca's scent that remained on the bed

even after she had already gotten out of bed.

Luke happened to fall asleep again when he closed his eyes. It was as though he was cuddling with

her in bed. He unknowingly woke up late.

“I could see you were tired and needed more rest..." Luca said in a depressed tone. At the same

time, she was confused.

This man was cold to her when he was on his business trip, but he was hugging her now, refusing to

let her go. Did he really treat her as a toy who was at his beck and call?

Luca refused to think so, but it was the reality that made her forced her to think about it like this.

“It was tiring,” Luke held her in his arms, resting his jaw on her head. The distance between them

was intimate. “I've been busy with the acquisition for the past few days. I worked day and night to

finish everything, then I came back.”

Luca listened to Luke talking about what he did during his business trip. It sounded easy, but she

knew that it was not an easy task.

If T Corporation was the only company that wanted to acquire the company, it would indeed be

easy. Luke did not have to travel there for the acquisition.

However, a competitor came out of nowhere and Luke had to travel there himself to acquire the

company. It must have been a strong competitor.

Hence, Luke must have been busy for quite some time to complete everything.

“I see.” Luca knew him well. Luke would only carry the weight on his shoulders no matter how hard

it was. He would never tell her about it. That was why she did not continue to ask him, but she said,

“Mr. Crawford, Id like to continue with my experiment.”

"Huh? Don't you have anything to ask me?” Luke felt helpless with her silence and indifference.

He had already taken the initiative to close the gap between them, but Luca was still rejecting him.

She seemed unconcerned about his matters.

Although Luke knew she was pretending to do so, it made his heart sink.

"No..." Luca's mind was full of questions, but she denied Luke's question without hesitation.

Luke let go of her as the expression on his face turned gloomy.

Luca met his gaze, then she had this feeling that something was wrong. Judging from the

expression on Luke's face, something must have happened

“Mr. Crawford, what's the matter?” she asked.

“Matysh will be traveling from Russia to here today,” replied Luke. He did not intend to conceal it

from her. Luca was capable of protecting herself. If Luke blindly concealed this from her, that would

only make Luca let down her guard. Telling her about this would protect her.

Luca frowned. She had a bad feeling that something was going to happen, especially after Marcos

asked her some questions previously. Disturbing thoughts squirmed at the back of her mind.

It was Matysh, indeed...

Marcos was reminding her.

Luca hesitated as she dared not to confirm that that was what Marcos meant at that time. Now,

Luke had proved that her doubts were true.

"Is he coming after me?” Luca asked. She was not dumb. The way Matysh looked at her was like he

was staring at his prey. She could see that Matysh was interested in her.

However, she did not expect Matysh to come after her even after she left Russia.

“Yes,” Luke nodded. “You have to protect yourself. Watch your back when you go out. Don't let

Matysh get you. I'll send some people to protect you too. Just behave as usual.”

Luca nodded, but it was Matysh she was dealing with..

How would Luke choose between M Group and her if things got out of hand?

Luca felt a sudden stab of anxiety in her gut. She was troubled, and she could not believe that she

would get into trouble when she was only accompanying Luke on his business trip.

Previously, it was Xavier, and now, Matysh showed up...

There seemed to be endless troubles!

Luke looked at the changes in Luca's expression. Although it was subtle, he could sense Luca was

irritated. Then, he comforted her. "Live your life as usual but don't try to get away from the men I've

arranged to protect you. Just go with the flow."

"You..." Before Luca could say anything, the phone's ringtone interrupted her.

It was Luke's phone.

Luca had no choice but to stop talking and let him answer the call.

It was Jason who called. Luke answered the call, and as soon as he answered it, his gentle voice

became cold all of a sudden. “Yes?”

“Boss, Mr. Marcos is waiting downstairs. He says that he'd like to meet you,” Jason informed Luke.

Marcos was an important guest of T Corporation. Even though he did not make an appointment in

advance, Luke had to meet him. However, Luke was not in his office now, so Jason had to call him to

find out where he was.

“Send Tina downstairs to bring him to the lounge,” replied Luke.

“Noted,” Jason hung up the call and immediately followed Luke's instructions.

Luke put his phone back in his pocket. He looked at Luca and said, “Marcos is here.”

“You'd better hurry.” Luca urged him. Although she had no idea why Marcos came here, he must

have something important to discuss with Luke if he came looking for him now.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to come to T Corporation at such a time.

Luke nodded. He gazed at Luca and said, “I'll see you tonight.”

He came here not because he had nothing to do. On the contrary, he had tons of work to do, but he

wanted to come down and take a look at Luca.

After he talked to Marcos, he would have to continue with his work.

“See you.” Luca watched Luke walk out of the office from behind. She felt lost as Luke's figure went

out of her sight.

The distance between them was not as distant as before, but she kept on having the jitters. She had

to deal with Abel, and now Matysh...

There were too many things troubling her, and she was getting more and more restless.

On the other hand.

Luke came upstairs. At the same time, Tina was leading Marcos and Andy to the lounge.

The two of them ran into each other in the elevator hall.

“Mr. Marcos, it's been a long time,” Luke greeted him first. If it were not for Marcos, he would not

have sped up his progress abroad, catching his competitor off guard and defeating them. He was

able to make it back to protect Luca

“Hello, Mr. Crawford. It's been a long time. Let me introduce you to my assistant, Andy.” Marcos

greeted. Andy was on a business trip when M Group and T Corporation signed the contract. That

was why Luke did not recognize Andy.

“Nice to meet you,” Luke greeted Andy. After all, he was Marcos’ subordinate who was here with

Marcos. His status should be similar to Jason's position.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford.” Andy recalled his bet with Marcos when he saw Luke in person.

He was secretly screaming in his heart that he was screwed.

He was going to be slaughtered.

"I heard that you've acquired Hampton. Congratulations.” Marcos took the initiative to congratulate

Luke. Hampton was the Hilton family's company. Brody's parents were the founders of the

company. The company's name came from the family name of the Hilton family and one of the

words of Brody's mother's name.

Marcos understood the international market and the background of this company.

Marcos was secretly surprised when he found out that the company was looking for someone to

acquire it to get through the hardships. However, M Group had nothing to do with Hampton's

management. Besides, the company was not in Russia. That was why Marcos did not plan to join the

acquisition.

Andy got even more puzzled when he heard what his boss said.
