After taking a shower, Luca put on her pajamas and wrapped a towel around her head. She opened the
bathroom door and walked out.
Luke's eyes sparkled like stars. The moment he saw her coming out, he smiled. "Done with your
shower?" "Yes. Is your hair dry?" asked Luca while glancing at his hair. It seemed dry.
"Yes, it's dry. Short hair has its advantages," replied Luke. Short hair dried quickly.
"I'll dry my hair first," said Luca as she sat in front of the dressing table. She noticed that all her makeup
and skincare products were on the table.
She glanced at Luke.
"I noticed you hadn't taken them out yet, so I took them out for you," said Luke. He walked behind her
and picked up the hairdryer. "Let's save some time. You do your skincare and I'll help you with your
hair."
"Okay." Luca felt like she might be overthinking it. Was he implying something with this suggestion...
Luca immediately dismissed her own thoughts. It definitely was not what she was thinking.
He was probably talking about going to bed. They needed to be in their best condition for tomorrow's
events.
Luke did not notice Luca's thoughts. He simply turned on the hairdryer and started drying her hair.
While drying Luca’s hair and using his fingers as a comb, he smoothed her long hair bit by bit. He
occasionally massaged her scalp.
Luca enjoyed his attentive service and began her skincare routine.
She definitely needed to put on makeup for tomorrow’s event. Therefore, she had to ensure her
skincare routine was thorough so that her makeup would look flawless tomorrow.
Once her hair was dry, Luca finished her skincare routine and started applying hand cream.
Luke placed the hairdryer back and said, "I never realized you used so many skincare products on your
face."
Even though he could not name any of them, he noticed that Luca's skincare routine was more
elaborate than usual.
Compared to now, it used to be much simpler.
"I'll have to wear makeup tomorrow, and with the weather being so hot, I have to take good care of my
skin for the makeup to stay put," explained Luca.
"If the makeup doesn't stay put, by the time the networking event is over, my makeup will have melted."
"That makes sense." Luke's eyes lit up. He asked, "So, are you all done now?"
"Yes, I'm done." Luca nodded.
"Great." Excitement flickered in Luke's eyes. He stepped forward and lifted her up into his arms. "Then
let's go to bed."
The way he said the last sentence made Luca's heart skip a beat. The transition from excitement to
huskiness in his voice was too obvious. She seemed unable to reject this change.
Luca could only comply with his suggestion and let him carry her to the bed. After that...
When Luca woke up the following day, she shifted her body slightly. Surprisingly, she did not feel as
sore as she had expected.
There was some discomfort, but it was bearable.
Luca thought Luke must have been thinking about today's events, which was why he spared her last
night.
However, she knew deep down that it was not a good thing since Luke did that.
Whatever was lacking yesterday would be made up for tonight...
Unless something unpleasant happened during the networking event...
Luca did not linger in bed when she thought about the networking event that would be held today. She
immediately got out of bed and went into the bathroom to freshen up.
Luke was not in the bedroom. She figured he must have already gotten up and gotten busy with
something.
After Luca freshened up, she headed downstairs. Sure enough, Luke was sitting on a dining room
chair, dealing with work matters.
"You're awake," Luke greeted her as she walked in. He gestured for her to sit beside him.
Luca nodded and took a seat next to him. "Why are you up so early?"
"I slept well last night. That's why I woke up early," replied Luke as he clicked the mouse to send a work
email he had written to Jason.
Luca nodded and yawned.
"Why are you yawning? Did you not sleep well?" asked Luke. He was concerned and slightly frustrated
at the same time. He had made sure he did not overindulge last night, so it should not have affected
her sleep...
"No, I'm just yawning," replied Luca. After that, Mr. Muller brought them breakfast.
"Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, are you not having lunch at home today?" Mr. Muller confirmed with them. If
Luke and Luca were not having lunch at the Crawfords' ancestral home, he would not prepare anything
to avoid wasting ingredients.
"Yes, we have an event to attend today, so we won't be having lunch at home,” answered Luke. "We
also won't be having dinner here tonight, so you don't need to prepare anything."
"Understood." Mr. Muller nodded and then turned around to leave.
"Let's have breakfast first." Luca placed a smoothie in front of him.
Luke closed his laptop and placed it on the chair next to him before joining her for breakfast.
After breakfast, Luca went upstairs to do her makeup.
She would be meeting Abel today, so she applied light makeup to make herself look fresh without being
too flashy.
Luca paused for a moment while she was applying the lipstick. She was thinking of Abel.
She never imagined she would one day willingly meet Abel with Luke...
Luca guessed that Abel probably knew by now that Luke would be attending this industry networking
event.
She shook her head at the thought of it. She would stand by Luke's side no matter what.
With this goal in mind, Luca felt less apprehensive. She toned down the lipstick on her lips. She looked
fresh but not overly conspicuous.
Then, she changed into the professional suit laid out on the bed.
The weather was hot today, so Luca opted for a thinner professional suit to avoid feeling uncomfortable
from sweating later.
After changing, she tied her hair up into a ponytail.
Luca put on a pair of diamond earrings she prepared earlier. She exuded a youthful and polished vibe,
as well as remarkable efficiency.
Once she finished dressing up, Luke walked in. His eyes lit up seeing her in this outfit.
"How do I look?" Luca adjusted the hem of her jacket and asked.
"You look great, really great," Luke complimented with a smile.
Luca gave him a smile when she heard his praise.
She inevitably felt nervous when she thought about meeting Abel today, but having Luke by her side
temporarily eased that tension.
Hence, she felt much better.
"I'll change and then we can head out," said Luke. He was about to change out of his pajamas right in
front of her.
Luca quickly closed the door when she saw that. “Could you please be a little more mindful?"
"The kids aren't here. Mr. Muller won't come up either." Luke shrugged. Besides, only Luca had the
privilege of watching him.
Luca blushed slightly. To ease her own embarrassment, she handed Luke his clothes.
First, she handed him the shirt and then the pants. Finally, she passed him his suit jacket.
