It was Tina who answered the call in the secretary’s office. “Hello, it’s Tina here.”
"Hello, Ms. Tina. Dr. Craw is at the front desk, asking to see Mr. Crawford. May I know if Mr. Crawford is available now?" the receptionist asked. Visitors who came to the office seldom looked for Luke. They usually would only look for Jason and the secretaries working in the secretary's office.
“Dr. Craw? Let her in,” replied Tina. Even though Luke was not in his office now, Tina dared not to stop Luca.
“Alright. Got it.” The receptionist hung up the call. She smiled and looked at Luca, “Dr. Craw, Ms. Tina is upstairs waiting for you.”
“Okay, thank you.” After Luca thanked her, she immediately headed upstairs and arrived at the floor where the president’s office was.
Tina was waiting for her in the elevator hall.
"Dr. Craw, you're here," Tina smiled and greeted Luca when she saw her walking out of the elevator.
“Yes. I have something to discuss with Mr. Crawford,” replied Luca.
"He's having a meeting now. Mr. Doyle isn’t here either. How about this? Let me take you to Boss' office first. You can wait there. There are ten minutes left until the meeting ends." Tina glanced at the time and speculated.
“It’d be better for me to wait at the lounge.” Luca shook her head when Tina suggested taking her to Luke’s office.
Not everyone was allowed to enter Luke's office. Besides, she was not Bianca now. She had to avoid arousing any suspicion.
“I think it’ll be better for you to head to Boss’ office right away. Let’s go.” Tina led Luca to Luke’s office. She pushed the door open and said, “Come in. Let me get you something. Do you prefer coffee or milk?”
“I’d like a glass of milk, please.” Luca had no choice but to enter the office. Then, she stiffened as she sat on the sofa.
“Sure. Just a moment.” Tina left the office and strode off to the pantry.
Tina knew Luca did not like packaged milk. That was why she prepared the glass of milk with milk powder.
Cheryl noticed that Luke's office door was left open when she walked past Luke's office while carrying some documents in her hands. Hence, she knocked on the door and entered the office. Then, Cheryl and Luca happened to look at each other.
“Dr. Craw?” Cheryl raised her brows. “Why are you here? Didn’t you move back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals?”
Luca frowned. Cheryl sounded like she was questioning why she suddenly showed up in Luke's office.
What she meant between the lines was that Luke’s office was not a place Luca could enter as she liked.
"I have something to discuss with Mr. Crawford," Luca answered out of politeness.
“Mr. Crawford is in a meeting now. How could you sit in his office alone? Let me take you to the lounge.” Cheryl hated Luca, especially now when she saw Luca breaking the company’s rules. She found it disgusting that Luca was waiting for Luke in his office alone.
Cheryl could not help but wonder if Luca really thought that something was going on between her and Luke. Did that give her permission to enter Luke's office as she wished?
Luca rose to her feet. Before she could say anything, she heard Tina saying, “I was the one who led Dr. Craw here.”
Cheryl turned around and saw Tina carrying a glass of milk. She then walked into Luke’s office. Cheryl deliberately spoke in a serious tone, “How could you let someone into Boss’ office without his permission?”
“What if that’s what he asked for?” Tina placed the glass of milk on the coffee table and said, “Dr. Craw, here’s your milk.”
“Boss?” Cheryl refused to believe what Tina said. Everyone working on the same floor knew that Luke was in a meeting.
Even the secretaries who wanted to deliver the documents here would be stopped as Luke was not in the office. Even his secretaries could not enter his office without his permission.
“It was Boss’ request.” Tina took her phone out and showed Cheryl her conversation with Luke.
Tina had texted Luke and reported to him that Luca was here.
Luke replied to her with two simple words: [My office.]
Hence, it was not Tina who took the liberty to do so.
“I didn’t know it was Boss’ instruction. Now please excuse me, I still have work to do.” Cheryl tucked her hair behind her ear to ease her awkwardness.
