After the photos were taken, Old Master Crawford hobbled over with his cane and chuckled. “How about the old man joins in for a picture too?”
“Of course!” Nina quickly let go of Percy’s arm and helped the old man to the center.
“Luke, go stand next to Luca,” instructed Old Master Crawford.
Luke obediently moved to stand beside Luca while the kids remained in front. The photographer snapped several more shots.
Then, they had Old Master Crawford sit down on a chair, with the kids standing by his side and the rest of them standing behind. The photographer clicked a few more times.
After giving a thumbs-up, signaling they were done, Nina grabbed Luca’s arm and said, “Could you help us take a few more photos?”
The photographer nodded and took a few shots of just them as well.
Nina then asked, “My assistant went to look for you earlier, right?”
Luca was surprised. “How did you know?”
“I noticed it. She’s…” Nina heaved a sigh. “I’ve always had this feeling she’s got a thing for Mr. Crawford, but I didn’t want to make a fuss. After all, she hadn’t done anything too outrageous until now. What did she say to you?”
“She said some pretty inappropriate things,” Luca answered plainly,
“Wow, guess I’ll be hiring a new assistant after my honeymoon,” muttered Nina. She did not expect her assistant’s crush on Luke to be so intense that she would go so far as to say something to Luca and the kids.
What a mess!
Luca replied, “I wasn't planning on bringing this up at your wedding.”
“You didn’t have to. I already had my suspicions. She’s fresh out of college, and it’s easy to tell what’s on her mind. I thought she was just trying to get close to you, but it turns out she really has no boundaries.
"Honestly, it’s for the best. She's not that great at her job anyway. The last time, rumors about my swollen face spread all throughout the company, and my investigation pointed back to her. But without solid proof, I couldn’t just fire her for it,” explained Nina.
Luca replied in a helpless tone, “Mr. Crawford’s just too popular. It’s hard to avoid such things from happening.”
“I get it. A lot of women in the company have a crush on him too, but they’re more subtle about it. They either keep it to themselves or see him as a distant idol. Not like her. She’s got her head full of ideas about getting close to him,” said Nina.
Luca was about to say more, but someone else came up to Nina for a photo, so she let it go.
She glanced at Luke, who was once again surrounded by people. She decided to take the kids back to their table.
Their glasses had been cleared away, so Luca asked, “Kids, do you want something to drink? I’ll go grab it.”
“Ms. Luca, we’re full! No need,” replied Tommy, shaking his head.
Lanie and Rainie also shook their heads.
They were not the kind of kids who overindulged. They would eat just enough.
“Alright. Let’s just sit and chat until the banquet starts,” suggested Luca.
While the kids were talking to Luca, Old Master Crawford walked over and sat in an empty chair, grinning. “Why is everyone hanging out here?”
“Great-Grandpa!” the three kids greeted the old man cheerfully.
Luca also greeted him, “Grandpa.”
“Hmm, why are you all sitting here?” Old Master Crawford asked with curiosity. He was surrounded by quite a few people earlier, and if it were not for Luke stepping in to help, he would have still been stuck chatting with them.
It was tiring being the center of attention for so long.
“We’re just chatting!” Tommy replied with a smile.
“Why aren’t you playing?” Old Master Crawford asked the three kids.
