Luca nodded and then left with him.
While Luca was changing her clothes, Luke already notified Warren. When the two of them arrived
downstairs, Warren was already waiting in the parking lot.
After both of them got into the car, Luke said to Warren, "Head to the hotel we booked."
"Yes, sir." Warren drove away.
The restaurant was not far from the villa. It took Warren five minutes to arrive at the restaurant's
entrance.
Luke said to Luca, "We're here. Let’s go."
"Okay." Luca nodded and got out of the car with him.
After getting out of the car, she heard him say, "Mr. Mullen invited the chef of this restaurant to cook for
us at the Crawfords' ancestral home."
Luca nodded, wondering if Luke had made the arrangements for this restaurant at the last minute.
If it was arranged last minute, it was probably because he knew she liked the chef's cooking.
The two of them entered the restaurant and were guided by a waitress into a private room.
The room was not large, but it was elegantly decorated. Evan was already sitting there, waiting for
them.
When Evan saw them being led in by the waitress, he stood up and greeted them, "Good evening, Mr.
Crawford, Dr. Craw."
"Good evening." Luke did not behave arrogantly toward Evan because he was from the Turner family.
Even though he was currently working for himself, he had to show him some respect.
Although Luca was not happy that Evan wanted her to teach at the university, she greeted him at the
thought of him being Shireen’s brother, "Good evening, General Manager."
"You don’t have to address me like that outside the office, Dr. Craw." Evan smiled when he heard how
Luca had addressed him.
Although the Turner family was not as large as the Crawford family, they were still a big family.
It was pretty ironic that someone from a family with some fame had to work at Luke's branch.
"You're the general manager of the company. It's fine for me to address you like this." Luca was not
swayed by his faint smile.
If she were Bianca, maybe she could leverage her relationship with Shireen.
However, her identity was Luca now. Considering she was his subordinate, she had to be careful about
many things. She could not give others a chance to undermine her.
"Alright." Evan did not insist on her calling him by name.
Luca could do as she pleased.
As the woman standing beside Luke, she could be more confident than others.
After the waitress heard them exchange pleasantries, she asked in a low voice, "Mr. Crawford, should
we serve the dishes now?"
"Yes, please. The wine too,” replied Luke.
Wine?
Luca was slightly surprised. Even though Evan was from the Turner family, he was now working for
Luke.
There did not seem to be a need to drink in such a situation...
That was what Luca thought, but she did not say anything. She knew she had to maintain Luke's
reputation.
She knew she should not ask at this moment out of consideration for Luke.
Luke said to Evan, "Mr. Turner, you don't mind if we have a drink, right?"
"No problem. Just having a little won't affect things tomorrow." Evan still wore that gentle smile of his.
He and Luke were different types of people.
Luke was always cold and distant toward everyone. He had an imposing presence.
Evan, on the other hand, always wore a warm expression on his face no matter when he was facing
Luke or Luca. He was not intimidating, making it feel like anyone could approach him.
However, Luca knew this was not his true nature.
If someone like him came from that kind of family and was truly as gentle as he appeared, he might
have already been trampled to the ground by others.
However, he was still the most capable heir in the Turner family. He was also the most promising one in
the eyes of many. That was Evan's true nature, not this facade.
A wolf in sheep's clothing.
He was someone who always wore a smile on his face yet harbored venomous intentions inside. He
might be waiting for the right moment to strike a fatal blow to his competitors.
However, Luca knew Luke would not choose someone who would harm T Corporation's interests.
She could trust Evan in work matters, but a person like Evan was not suitable to be a friend.
Luke nodded without saying anything more.
After the waitress left, the door to the private room was pushed open again.
Dish after dish was brought in.
Luca glanced and indeed saw some dishes she enjoyed during lunch.
After the dishes were served, a bottle of white wine was brought over. The waitress said, "Mr.
Crawford, here's the wine you requested."
"Just leave it there. If I don't ask for you, don’t come in," said Luke, indicating that the waitress need not
attend to them.
The young waitress looked deeply at Luke. Her eyes could not help but reveal a hint of fascination.
After she heard that he did not need her service, she showed a touch of disappointment and left.
After the door to the private room closed, Evan rose to his feet, picked up the white wine, and poured a
glass for Luke first. He then turned to Luca and asked, "Dr. Craw, would you like some wine?"
"I can't handle alcohol, General Manager. Please go ahead." Luca declined.
She did not want to drink because she had not taken any hangover medicine.
If Luke had told her in advance that they would be drinking tonight, she would have definitely taken a
pill beforehand.
However, since Luke did not mention it, it meant she did not have to drink tonight.
"Alright." Evan did not force her to drink either. After all, she was Luke's woman. If he forced her to
drink, he might have to find another job.
He knew he was outstanding, and there would be people vying to hire him in other companies.
Still, he could not go to another company.
His excellence could only be fully utilized at Luke's company.
Evan had no intention of jeopardizing his job.
If he wanted to win, he had to work at Luke's company—preferably in a position like the general
manager.
Regardless of which branch of Luke's company it was, as long as he sat in the general manager
position, he had the greatest chance of success.
Evan poured himself a glass of white wine, set down the bottle, and raised his glass toward Luke. "Mr.
Crawford, here's to you."
Luke also raised his glass. He gave a slight nod and took a sip, acknowledging him. Then, he glanced
at Luca, who had not touched her food yet. He whispered, "We’ll drink for a bit. Enjoy your dinner."
"Okay." Luca nodded, picked up her cutlery, and began to take the food she liked.
Evan watched them and could not help but secretly exclaim at how doting Luke was toward Luca.
Luke was watching Luca eat her dinner. After a while, his gaze shifted to Evan, who was sitting across
from him. He asked, "Mr. Turner, what are your thoughts on this networking event?"
Although it was already decided for him to attend this networking event, Evan did not have any
particular thoughts on it.
After all, such networking events were quite dull to him. His reason for choosing to attend was simple. It
was to expand his network.
Even though the attendees of this networking event were not big players in the industry, Luke's
decision to attend it meant it would be extraordinary.
His participation made many pharmaceutical company bosses take notice.
