“Smokin' Hot Steakhouse? Alright, I’m coming down now.” Luca knew Queenie was looking for her because of Enoch, but she bit the bullet and went to meet her.
“Oh, I reserved a private room. Just mention my name to the waiter when you come in later,” said Queenie.
It was different this time. Last time, Queenie was hoping Luca's colleagues would know that Luca was on a blind date. That was why she picked a cafe without a private room.
This time, Enoch needed to talk to Luca. They needed a quieter place to have a conversation. Hence, Queenie reserved a private room under her name.
"Alright, Mrs. Norman. Please give me a moment. I'm heading there now," replied Luca. She hung up the call, stood up, and walked out of the office.
While she was in the elevator going downstairs, she wondered if she should make it clear to Enoch in front of Queenie.
She knew Queenie would be able to understand her. Love and relationships could not be forced, after all.
What made Luca worried was that if Queenie knew Luca was not interested in Enoch, maybe she would arrange for another man to go on a blind date with her immediately. It was to make sure nothing was going on between her and Luke.
She felt helpless at the thought of this.
Luca left T Corporation and headed to Smokin’ Hot Steakhouse. It was the white-collared workers’ favorite Western restaurant nearby. Hence, the place was fully booked when she reached the restaurant.
It took some time before Luca found a waiter and asked which private room Queenie was in.
Luca pushed the private room door open. Sure enough, other than Queenie, Enoch was there too.
Queenie smiled and waved to Luca. “Luca, come here and take a seat.”
Luca walked into the private room helplessly. Queenie was still trying to set her up with Enoch.
Luca could see Queenie was anxious about matchmaking her and Enoch.
"Mrs. Norman." Luca walked into the private room and closed the door. After that, she sat on the chair. Only then did she greet Enoch calmly. "Mr. Campbell."
The way Luca called Enoch was cold and hard. Queenie could easily hear the changes in Luca’s tone, and she frowned a little. She did not need to make any guesses to know that things were not going to work out between Luca and Enoch no matter what she said today.
Luca had done her a favor by coming over here, but that did not mean she would be able to accept Enoch.
Although Queenie thought Enoch was a nice man, she could not force Luca to get together with him if Luca did not like him.
Enoch could hear the coldness in Luca’s voice, and he wondered if Luca had received his flowers.
Could it be that the greeting card had fallen out while the flowers were sent to her office?
“Mr. Campbell sounds distant. Luca, didn’t we agree to call each other by our names?”
Luca felt even more frustrated. Was he truly not getting it, or was he just pretending not to understand?
After they left the cafe last time, Luca had taken the initiative to distance herself from him. She immediately went back to addressing him as Mr. Campbell.
Luca wondered why this was happening, but she did not lose her temper out of respect for Queenie.
Enoch handed Luca the menu when he noticed that Luca refused to say anything. “Mrs. Norman, Luca, take a look at the menu and see what you’d like to order.”
Luca did not even glance at the menu. She said immediately, "I'd like to have Set A. Thank you."
Queenie could sense there was something wrong in the air, and she felt like she had done something wrong. She started feeling sorry, and she said, “I’ll have the same set as Luca.”
Enoch nodded and ordered three sets of Set A meals by scanning the QR code.
Enoch put his phone down after he placed the order. He tested Luca by asking her a question, “Luca, I sent a gift to you today. Did you receive it?”
