Enoch nodded his head understandingly. “Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's alright. You work in a different industry, so it's normal for you to be unaware of some practices here. Anyway, I'll head back to
work now." Luca let out a sigh of relief when Enoch did not insist on sending her upstairs. Queenie did not say anything either.
Luca had no idea how she was going to reject Enoch if he insisted on sending her there.
However, he seemed like a generous man. He would not do things abruptly. Luca would just distance herself from him after this.
Enoch would understand what was going on even if she did not spell it out for him.
Luca accepted Queenie's arrangement, but there was nothing Queenie and Jack could do if Luca and Enoch did not click well
with each other.
"Sure. I'll keep in touch with you through Facebook," Enoch added. It had been such a long time since he met a woman who
caught his eyes, and that was why he wanted to go for it.
Luca nodded, turned around, and left.
Queenie smiled as she watched Luca leave, then she asked Enoch, "Enoch, what do you think of Luca?" "I like her. I'm hoping to
get to know her better." Enoch expressed his admiration for Luca unabashedly. Enoch was born in a political family. He was
surrounded by different types of women since he was young. However, none of them had ever caught his attention.
It was because he had nothing in common with them.
Enoch was interested in many things. If he was not a filial son who listened to his parents' arrangements and continued to be
involved in politics, he would be working in the pharmaceutical industry just like Luca.
"That's great. I didn't expect you to like her so much. Luca is a good woman. She's beautiful and has a good personality. Uncle
Jack and I can promise you that. It's wonderful that you're willing to get to know her better." Queenie did not expect everything to
go so smoothly.
Queenie had only arranged the first blind date for Luca, and this guy was already interested in her.
It seemed like Luca was charming, indeed. She could not let such a charming woman like Luca stay close to Luke. Otherwise,
things would get out of control in the future.
"Luca is different from any woman I've known before. I'm definitely not going to reject getting into a relationship with her if she
agrees to it too," said Enoch. There were traces of his admiration for Luca in his words.
"I was observing you two just now. I think you left quite a good impression on Luca too. Besides, Uncle Jack told me that your
ability and courage are the best among the younger generation, so you'll surely have a bright future," said Queenie. Although
she was in a hurry to find Luca a boyfriend, she did not do things carelessly either.
Queenie could not help but dig into Enoch's family background when Jack planned to introduce Enoch to Luca.
His family had been involved in politics for three generations. Although Enoch's grandfather and father did not hold high
positions, they had been honest and fair their whole lives. A child educated by such a family was certainly not that bad either.
Moreover, Jack told her that Enoch had a bright future. If he was willing to keep up with his work with a down-to-earth attitude, he
would not stay in his current position as a civil servant for long.
A man like him was considered outstanding, and he would be a great match for Luca.
That was why Queenie made such arrangements. When she brought up the topic of a blind date to Enoch, he agreed to meet
Luca. At the same time, Luca had agreed to meet him as well.
The two of them looked harmonious when they were talking to each other just now. It seemed like they had left a good
impression on each other. It was as though Queenie was able to envision Luca and Enoch dating, then getting married and
having kids.
"Thank you for introducing me to such an outstanding woman." Enoch was truly satisfied with Luca. It was great if his partner
was working in the profession he was interested in.
If they really got married, he did not have to worry that there was nothing they could talk about even if they were working in
different fields.
“Don't mention it. What the future holds for you all depends on you and Luca now. You'd better seize the chance. If this works,
you'll surely receive a wedding gift from us.” Queenie encouraged him.
Enoch nodded confidently. He lowered his head and sent Luca a message: [I had a great time talking to you. If you're not busy,
why don't we meet again at a later date?]
Luca got into the elevator and massaged her aching forehead. She let out a sigh as she watched the elevator go up.
She did not expect it to be so tiring to deal with Queenie.
Her heart belonged to someone else. How could she be interested in another man?
However, she had no choice but to respond enthusiastically to a man she had no interest in for Queenie's sake. She was trying
to show that she was interested in him too.
Well, putting on a show was tiring...
Luca was not a professional actor. It was already tiring enough when she had to conceal her feelings when she was facing Luke.
Now, she had to deceive Queenie and Enoch with her poor acting skills.
There were no other employees in the elevator as lunch break was almost over.
Luca leaned her head on the elevator wall wearily and let out a helpless sigh. She wanted to look for a shoulder to cry on or go
somewhere she would not have to pretend and put on a show.
She wanted to lean on Luke's shoulder the most. However, she still had to put on a mask when she was facing that man.
There was no place for her to relax.
Luca covered her face with her hands. She felt exhausted. Then, her phone in her pocket vibrated. She took her phone out and
looked at it. It was a message from Enoch.
Luca let out a sigh and stared at the keyboard for a long time. She thought of finding an excuse to brush him off, but considering
that he might be sitting with Queenie now, she replied to him: [Sure.]
Luca walked out of the elevator when it arrived on the floor. She ran into Jason, who had just gotten out of the office pantry. She
smiled and greeted him, "Mr. Doyle, have you eaten your lunch?"
Jason's expression was a little strange. He nodded and replied, “Yes, Dr. Craw. How was your date?”
“I was just having lunch with my friends. I don't think it's considered a date,” Luca corrected him. She was reluctant to mention
the words 'blind date'.
“I see. I'm going back to my office to work first,” replied Jason. Then, he headed to his office.
Jason was still on the fence. He had yet to tell Luke that Luca had gone on a blind date.
After all, everyone in the company was stressed enough. If Luke got furious and wanted them to speed up the progress of the
project, then they would be out of luck.
Jason had been working for him for years and knew his boss' temper well.
If Luke was mad at something, he would work continuously to release his anger.
The workload of the employees would increase if Luke's workload increased.
Although it was tiring for Luke to handle everything in the company alone, he was able to endure it more than others as though
he was Superman.
However, his employees were merely ordinary people. They would not be able to do so much work.
Luca looked at Jason's figure from behind. She noticed Jason was acting a little weird, and the way he looked at her was odd
too.
Could it be that Jason had found out about her blind date?
It was not a big deal if he figured it out. However, if he knew about it, Luke must know about it as well.
