Luca met Luke’s eyes. She caught a glimpse of mischief in his eyes. Her face reddened at once.
He was not awake when she woke up. Could it be that he had woken up in the middle of the night or perhaps he was only pretending to be asleep the whole time? Did he know she slept with him on the same bed last night? Did he know she had just lied?
When Luca wanted to know what that hint of mischief meant, Luke had already turned his face away.
Tia listened to Luca’s explanation and forced a smile. She thought her status in Luke’s heart had changed when Luke invited her to join him for the business dinner. She forced herself to drink on behalf of him and was harassed the whole night. She had only thought of sharing his burden.
She knew nothing about business, but she did everything she could for him.
Yet, she woke up realizing that she was sleeping alone in the room. She was devastated when she saw Luca in Luke’s room.
Tia shot a glance inside the suite. Indeed, there were two bedrooms. They had probably slept in their rooms last night.
She secretly blamed Jason for arranging for Luke and Luca to sleep in the same suite. Still, she wore a smile on her face and invited Luca, saying, "So that's the case. But this five-star hotel is indeed popular. Sometimes, you won’t be able to book another room when it's late. It's my fault. If I hadn’t drunk too much, I wouldn't have taken up Dr. Craw's room."
Tia was busy expressing how helpless she was and reminding Luke that she had been a great help to him.
Luke looked at her without any expression on his face. There was not even a hint of gratitude.
He said thoughtfully, “You know a lot.”
Tia thought he was praising her. She was delighted for a while, then she became humble at once. It took her a moment to think that it might not be a compliment.
She hurriedly explained, "This hotel is not far away from my consultation office. My patients would usually stay here when they travel from different countries to see me. Sometimes, if they don’t reserve a room in advance, they'd have to find another hotel. That's why I know this."
Luke listened to her explanation, but he did not put on the expression she longed to see. Instead, he walked out.
Tia kept up with him immediately. She walked beside him and asked with concern, “Luke, where are you going now?”
"To the office," replied Luke. He reckoned those Russians were still asleep. He would need to send someone else to entertain them at noon.
Although the Russians claimed that they were here to talk business, they were more focused on touring around. As for the cooperation, he would have to wait for their confirmation before he began the tender and competed with other companies.
Hence, Luke was not planning to waste too much energy on these people. All he had to do was find someone else to bring them around. It was all about beer and skittles to them.
As for the prequalified tendering, he was not worried about it. They were not going to reject another opportunity to choose if everything went well.
Tia stayed close to him once she heard him. She tried to convince him, saying, “Why don’t we have breakfast together before you return to the office? I remember that you have a weak stomach…”
Luca felt uncomfortable when she heard their conversation from behind.
Many women were interested in Luke. They knew a lot about him because they admired him. It was normal.
However, those words had come out from Tia. Both of them were involved in a scandal not long ago…
She looked at both of them. Tia had even said something like that. It seemed like they were in an ambiguous romantic relationship.
