Luca kept yammering. The more Amur listened to her, the more touched he felt. How wonderful would it be cared
for by her forever?
She had seen him when he was at the weakest moment in his life. She encouraged him to be brave and grow up.
He had also seen her when she was at the lowest point in her life. He had silently kept her company. They had been
through so much together but she had never fallen for him.
Was he not good enough?
He was indeed not good enough compared to the one in her heart.
Luca asked again when she did not hear any reply from him, “Amur, are you listening?”
“I’m listening. My wound is fine. I’ve changed the dressing. Don’t worry.” Amur snapped back to his senses and
replied to her.
Luca was relieved when she heard him.
The doorbell rang. She wondered if it was Tina at the door. She said to Amur, “That’s great. Stay safe. I’ll talk to you
later.”
Amur wanted to ask her what she was busy with since she came here for a trip. However, she hung up the phone
before he could ask anything.
He was a little disoriented as he listened to the busy tone on the other side of the phone. He felt as if he had lost
something.
After Luca hung up the phone, she came to the door and took a glance. Sure enough, it was Tina.
She opened the door. Tina said enthusiastically, “Dr. Craw, I came to meet you to head downstairs together. Oh,
why haven’t you changed yet?”
“Give me a moment, I’m going to change now,” replied Luca.
“Alright. Then I’ll wait for you here.” Tina smiled. She liked being with Luca. Luca treated everyone the same with
that cold attitude of hers. She needed no flattering or fawning. It was comfortable to hang out with someone like
that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca took her new swimwear out. She went into the bathroom and got changed. Then, she put on her UV-
protection wear and buttoned it up.
She looked at herself in the mirror and thought it was a little ugly. Hence, she unbuttoned the two buttons at the top
to look more casual but without exposing too much.
Luca went out of the bathroom. Tina saw the UV-protection clothing that Luca was wearing. She smiled and said,
“Dr. Craw, do you realize we’re wearing the same UV-protective clothing? But yours is the midi one, and I’m
wearing the short one.”
“It’s the same,” Luca smiled and replied. She kept her phone and room key in a small bag. She closed the door and
left with Tina.
Tina pressed the button in the elevator and looked at how Luca had dressed up. She was wearing something more
conservative compared to the others.
“Dr. Craw, a good figure is meant to be shown to others,” said Tina.
“I don’t have a good figure.” Luca tucked her hair behind her ears and went into the elevator.
Tina realized that Luca was reluctant to show off her figure. She became even fonder of Luca. The swimming
competition today was a sudden decision made by Luke. After the employees knew about it, they claimed that they
were going to dress up sexily.
They always had to wear formal attire to go to the office and were not allowed to dress sexily. Now that they were
given a rare opportunity, of course, they would love to show off. Luca was kind of special compared to the others.
Both of them got into the elevator and reached the second floor. The moment they walked out of the elevator, they
could see a spacious outdoor swimming pool.
Jason was surrounded by a few people. He was jotting down their names on the list. Just then, he saw Luca and Tina
heading toward them. He stepped over, smiled, and asked, “Dr. Craw, Tina, I’ll let you choose your opponents
yourself.”
“We can choose our opponents?” Tina glanced at the name list. Most of the employees’ names were written down
on the list.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford came up with this at the last minute. There wasn’t enough time to prepare to draw lots, so we’re
letting you guys choose your opponents. There’ll be knockouts in every round. It’s a team-building activity, so this is
just for entertainment and relationship-building purposes,” Jason smiled as he explained. He had no idea why his
boss suddenly organized an event like this.
However, it was his boss’ orders. He had to carry it out.
“Is this a competition?” It took Luca a second to understand what was going on.
“Yes. Tina didn’t tell you about it?” Jason looked at Luca, then he turned to look at Tina. Did he not ask her to inform
everyone?
“No, I was the one who didn’t understand it clearly.” Luca thought that she would just wear a swimsuit and show up
so that she could be considered to have participated in the event. She did not expect Luke to hold a competition
too.
Some people were willing to participate in this kind of competition, but a few others were not. Even so, when Luca
saw the names on the list, 80 percent of T Corporation’s employees had gathered here.
Why were there so many people willing to participate in the competition?
Tina randomly chose a team, then she handed the pen to Luca. “Dr. Craw, choose a team for yourself. I heard that
there’s a prize if we win. The prize must be expensive since our boss is so generous.”
Luca understood immediately. Luke had arranged for a prize to make everyone participate.
It was normal to have a prize when a competition was held. She did not even bother to look at the names and filled
her name in the space under the women’s team.
Jason continued to ask the other employees to join after both of them had registered.
Tina pulled Luca to the corner of the swimming pool and said, “Dr. Craw, let’s warm up now so that we can swim
later.”
Luca did not intend to win the prize. She knew how to swim, but it had been years since she swam… When Tina
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwanted to do warm-up exercises, she casually did a few.
After all, she would do poorly in the first round of the competition later. Then, she would not have to go into the
water anymore.
Tina looked at the others standing next to the pool after she did her warm-up exercises. Some of them could not
wait any longer and were already starting to swim.
She said, “Come to think of it, what a beautiful scene this is.”
Luca chuckled. She did not expect to see this other side of Tina, who was always elegant and smart. Luca looked
around and saw the different physiques of the male employees of T Corporation. Some of them were out of shape,
but some of them had well-built bodies.
Tina heard her chuckle and noticed what she was laughing at. She asked immediately, “Dr. Craw, did you
misunderstand me?”
“What? No, I didn’t.” Luca shook her head and tried to hide her smile.
“I’m just admiring the sexy figures of our female colleagues. As for the male colleagues, after you meet a perfect
man, the other guys won’t be as good no matter how great their figures are,” said Tina. She was truly admiring the
alluring figures of her female colleagues.
Luca agreed to what she said in the latter part of her sentence.
After meeting so many people, she still thought that Luke was the best.
Even if he was born naturally apathetic and he behaved coldly to everyone as if he was out of everyone’s league,
which was certainly not a strength, she still thought that Luke was the best.
There was no such thing as a perfect human being. His bad temper would be enough to overshadow his glamor.
Luke had yet to show up even after everyone in T Corporation had reached the swimming pool.
When it was time, Jason asked them to team up based on the order he recited.
First, it was the competition between the male employees. The first round of the competition began amidst the
cheers and claps.
The rules were simple. They only had to swim from one side of the swimming pool to the other side, then return to
the starting point.
