Chapter 2216 That Kind Of Relationship

“Doesn't Dr. Craw share that sort of relationship with Mr. Crawford? She's busy going on dates with

Mr. Crawford after work. Why would she attend gatherings with us?” said the researcher.

As soon as Rhett heard that they were gossiping about this, he instantly lost interest and walked out

of the laboratory.

Several researchers were too engrossed in the gossip to notice Rhett's behavior.

“I've heard about this, but Dr. Craw seems to be quite nice. She's not harsh on us and is a very

capable person.” Another researcher could not help but speak for Luca.

“You're not wrong, but one’s love life is a different story. I personally think that this isn't relevant.

There's no issue if both of them love each other, but...”

The person speaking paused for a moment and glanced at the door before continuing, “You mustn't

forget that Mr. Crawford has a wife. They've been married for many years and even have three

children together, so Dr. Craw is...”

He did not go on, but everyone understood what he meant.

They did not say it explicitly because one, Luca was their boss. Two, they were at T Corporation. If

they were caught bad-mouthing their boss, they could lose their jobs, so they did not dare mention

it anymore.

Luca was not aware of the conversation in the laboratory.

She did not greet Luke after leaving T Corporation and drove straight back. Besides, it did not

matter whether she greeted him or not, since they would end up meeting at the mansion anyway.

Luca recalled the hug this morning, and her face was flushed. Her skin was hot to the touch, higher

than the temperature in the car.

"What's happening...” Luca muttered, forcing herself to snap out of it and not think about what had

happened during the day.

There was not much traffic today as it was probably due to the snowstorm warning. Hence, many

people chose to take public transport.

If not for the fact that the closest subway stations from the mansion were all located half a mile

away and that she had to walk, she would have chosen to take the public transport too as it was

much more convenient.

Luca drove carefully while keeping an eye on the road. Suddenly, she noticed something unusual.

A black sedan seemed to have been following behind her for some distance...

Luca pursed her lips. The road in front of her was clear and unobstructed, so she slammed on the

accelerator and sped up the car.

The black sedan behind her also sped up and maintained a close distance from her.

Luca could confirm that the car was catching up to her. The car had been keeping a certain distance

from her car with no intention of overtaking her, so she wanted to see what the other party

intended to do.

In the black sedan.

Matysh watched the car in front of him and frowned as he asked in displeasure, “Why aren't you

overtaking the car?”

The driver barely understood Matysh’s awful pronunciation. He explained, “It's not a good time. The

road is slippery. If I overtake her, it'll not only put us in danger but the woman in front of us too.”

Matysh stared at the car ahead. The woman sitting inside the car was the woman he had been

thinking about day and night. The fact that he could not get his hands on her and could only watch

her made him upset.

"So, I can't get her today?”

The driver nodded. “Mr. Matysh, our boss has given us orders. We'll try our best to help you get that

woman, so there's no need to be in a rush. We have a saying here, a watched pot never boils.”

“I can't wait any longer.” Matysh narrowed his eyes. Even if he had yet to acquire her, he could

already imagine the taste of ecstasy at the thought of Luca's beautiful face and amazing figure.

He had seen countless women, yet none of them had made him this eager before.

The driver acted as if he had not heard him. Besides, the timing was not right. For their safety, they

had to act with caution even if that meant disgruntling Matysh.

Moreover, this woman was acquainted with Luke. They dared not abduct her recklessly, lest they

failed and got themselves exposed.

Matysh's eyes were bloodshot as the driver did not respond. “I told you to go after her, stop her car,

tie her up, and bring her to me. Did you hear me?”

“Mr. Matysh, that's a risky request. I have the right to refuse.” The driver could not pretend to not

hear him this time.

“How dare you refuse my request?” Matysh looked at him in disbelief.

Back in Russia, no one dared to refuse his request, but someone dared to do so here. He squinted

and clenched his fists. “I want to talk to your boss.”

“Talk to him, then. This was the boss’ orders anyway. We have to act with caution.” The driver did

not care about Matysh’s anger at all. He had stuck around his boss for a long time. What kind of

bloody scene had he not seen before?

Matysh was just a mere Russian man with his fists clenched. He had yet to feel afraid.

Matysh noticed that the driver was still calm and not afraid of him. He was furious, but he had no

choice.

He was unfamiliar with the place and had paid to hire them...

Marcos cannot be trusted either.

Matysh bit his lip. He had hired the organization that was considered to be the most powerful in A

City's underworld. It was said that the one who spent money was the boss, yet, he, the boss, could

only watch the car in front of him drive into a neighborhood.

“This is where the woman lives,” said the driver as he pulled up on the roadside.

"Here? Follow her in. I need to know which house she lives in.” Matysh started gesturing.

“Do you think you can enter this place as you wish?” The driver had a mocking smile on his face as

he explained, “This is the most high-end neighborhood in A City. Without the consent of the

owners, there's no way outsiders are allowed to enter. Whether it be the entrance or the garage,

there are security guards here 24 hours a day. They can stop a fly from entering, let alone people.

The people who live here are all business celebrities and stars. I don't know anyone here, so don't

waste your time.”

Even if his boss knew a few celebrities, there was no guarantee that he could enter, so how could a

mere driver like him get in?

“Only the owners can go in, right? I'll buy a house right now. Take me to the real estate agency,”

Matysh said boldly.

The driver looked at Matysh in bewilderment as if he was looking at a madman...

He was willing to buy property here for a woman?

One would need at least a hundred million dollars to afford a mansion here. Even a single-room

house would cost ten million...

“What are you waiting for? I want to buy property here and not be obstructed.” Matysh's face took

on a ghastly expression as he was very dissatisfied with his service.

“Mr. Matysh, there are no vacant properties here. Moreover, a foreigner would need to go through

procedures and wait for the government's approval to buy a house here...” the driver said

resignedly.
