Luca shook her head. She felt even dizzier now. She was not a light drinker, and she was given medicine when she was on the
Island of Despair. Drinking should not be a problem for her.
Even so, signs of getting drunk would still appear.
She replied, "I'm fine. Mr. Doyle, are we going back to the office?"
Jason took a few deep breaths. He could even smell the alcohol in the air when he was breathing. He answered, "I think we
should just go back to the office. Boss is still waiting for me to report to him. I've called the designated driver. He'll be here soon."
"Let's wait at the parking lot," said Luca. She noticed that Jason's condition was not any better than hers.
Being the gentleman he was, he had even taken a few drinks on her behalf. He had probably reached his limit.
"Alright." Jason burped. After the both of them got into another elevator, he said slowly, "Dr. Craw, I'm sorry for what happened
just now."
He noticed that some of them were harassing Luca. He had tried his best to stop them from touching her. Even so, she was still
taken advantage of.
"It's nothing. There are always such people at business events." Luca recalled when she had just started her own business.
Many of them dared not touch her out of respect for Luke. However, a few of them would still try their luck.
In the end, Luke taught them a lesson, and they ended up getting themselves in big trouble.
Jason could not help but sigh when he listened to her generous words. Then, he said, "I heard what you were talking to them
about just now. You seem to know about architecture design?"
Luca was surprised. She sobered up a little all of a sudden despite all that drinking. "Uh, do you understand Russian?"
"I can only understand a little. But I can't speak the language." Jason felt uncomfortable standing up. He leaned on the elevator
wall. He was risking his life to talk about business with these Russians at the drinking table.
He would have to drink again tonight, and he had to drink on Luke's behalf...
Jason felt like vomiting at the thought of drinking again.
"Yes. I know a little about architecture. I used to be interested in it back then," said Luca. She walked out of the elevator once it
reached the parking basement.
The designated driver called. Jason was looking for Luke's car and telling the designated driver his location at the same time.
After a while, both of them got into the car and asked the designated driver to send them back.
Luca returned to her office. She had rested for a while in the car just now, but it did not make her feel any better. She felt even
more light-headed. How careless of her.
She did not expect those people to drink that much at noon.
Luca closed her eyes and took off her coat. She could not be bothered about the surveillance cameras anymore. She
unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt. Then, she lay down on the couch.
She could not be bothered even if Luke could see her graceless acts now. She only wanted to take a nap. She would feel more
comfortable after the alcohol smell went away.
The top floor.
Jason endured the uneasiness in his stomach and walked into Luke's office.
“Why are you like this?" Luke frowned and asked. There was a strong alcohol smell in the air when Jason entered.
"Boss, can I sit down and talk? I can't stand up anymore." Jason pointed at the chair and asked.
"Sit down." It must be those Russians who made him drink that much.
Russians enjoyed drinking. However, Luke did not expect that they would start drinking in the daytime...
"Thank you for understanding, Boss." Jason let out a burp. Although he wanted to take care of his image, he could not be
bothered now. He was feeling uncomfortable.
He sat down and took a few deep breaths. Then, he reported everything that had happened at noon.
The Russians were cunning, and they were unwilling to cooperate. They were only thinking about how many benefits they could
get. Hence, T Corporation would have to pay more attention if they wanted to work together with them.
Luke nodded as he listened to his report. "Look at how drunk you are. What about Luca?"
"Dr. Craw drank a lot too. She got harassed. Boss, those Russian men are bastards. They were thinking of taking advantage of
Dr. Craw. Maybe you should consider finding a male interpreter instead?" Jason asked.
Luca was working in their pharmaceutical company. She was not supposed to deal with these.
It was only because she knew how to speak Russian that she was asked to help them.
"She was harassed?" Luke frowned. His voice was even colder than before.
Jason nodded. "Two out of the three guys are perverts. I can't handle both of them. It's unfair to Dr. Craw."
"Alright," replied Luke. Then, he opened the surveillance software.
The image appeared on the screen after a few seconds. Luca was shamelessly lying on the couch. She had not even taken off
her shoes. One of her legs was on the couch, while the other one was hanging in the air.
She was drunk.
"Boss, do you need me to find a Russian university lecturer to help?" Jason asked. All he had in his mind was to rest now, but he
could not take a rest before he finished handling everything.
“Do they know about architecture?" Luke questioned.
"I'm not sure about that..." Jason's mind was working slowly because of the alcohol. He replied slowly, "Boss, did you know that
Dr. Craw studied architecture? How did you know that?"
Luke did not say anything. It would be too careless of him if he had not noticed that there were books and magazines about
architecture design in Luca's house after being there so many times.
Luca knew how to speak Russian, and she knew a little about architecture design. That was why Luke assigned her the task.
"Alright. You don't have to work this afternoon. Take a good rest. Let's continue tonight," Luke said without answering his
question.
Jason replied to him and walked out of the office.
Luke picked up the phone and dialed the internal number. He informed Tina to prepare two glasses of honey water for Jason and
Luca to get rid of their hangover.
Tina was fast. She quickly made two glasses of honey water. She handed one of them to Jason, then she held another glass and
headed to Luca's office.
She knocked on the door.
Luca was lying down on the couch with her eyes closed. She heard the knock but she did not want to open the door.
Tina knocked on the door again, and she asked, "Dr. Craw, I made you a glass of honey water. Can I come in?"
Luca sat up on the couch with her brows furrowed. She had locked the door from inside to prevent herself from being disturbed.
She did not expect Tina to send her honey water.
She felt dizzy when she stood up, and she had to hold onto the couch for a while. Then, she walked toward the door and opened
it.
"Tina, how did you.." Luca frowned and looked at the person at the door.
Tina could instantly smell the strong alcohol in the air. She said, "Boss knows you had too much to drink so he asked me to get
you some honey water to get rid of your hangover. Dr. Craw, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Luca shook her head and took the glass of honey water. "Thank you."
