It seemed that if she did not answer his calls or reply to his messages, Enoch would never let it go.
Luca frowned. It was not the first time she had faced such a clingy man, but she did not expect Enoch to be like this
too.
She felt that Enoch, as an educated civil servant, should not be acting like this.
Luke walked in front. Luca did not listen to the voice message and wanted to turn her phone on silent when Enoch
sent another message.
At that moment, Luke stopped and turned around to look at her.
Luca used to have a narrow social circle. After she came back to A City as Luca, her circle became even smaller.
From what he knew of her, her phone never rang like this during non-working hours.
"What's wrong?" He noticed that Luca seemed helpless and had a gut feeling that something had happened.
"It's nothing." Luca did not dare to tell him about Enoch. Although he said that his feelings for her had yet to reach
fiery and intense, her intuition told her that if she told him, something would happen.
She did not want to cause such trouble.
Luke's gaze shifted, and he glanced at her phone. Luca had turned her phone to silent mode but there were still
vibrations.
He heard the vibrations and said thoughtfully, "That person seems to be in a hurry to look for you."
"It's my brother." Luca hurriedly used Amur as an excuse. At that moment, she was like a puppy-eyed student who
was caught by a teacher and suspected of being in a relationship. The feeling of guilt spread all over her body.
Enoch was the one who took the initiative in the relationship. She had not once given the other party a chance. She
felt guilty even though she was not involved with the man in front of her...
In her subconscious, she still thought of herself as Bianca.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuke heard her mention Amur and noticed her guilty appearance.
‘Is it Amur calling? She should not look... guilty if it's her non-blood-related brother calling.'
"The person calling seems eager," Luke said. He then turned around and went upstairs.
Since Luca did not want to tell him anything, he would investigate it himself. He wanted to see who was the one
texting her so late.
'It's not Nina. She's having the time of her life with Percy. It wouldn't be Sue as well, and it's even lower odds that it's
someone else...'
Luca glanced at her phone, and it vibrated again. It did seem like the other party was eager to talk to her.
After Luke disappeared around the corner of the stairs, she went upstairs and returned to the bedroom. She
opened her text log and read the messages from Enoch.
Enoch said he was worried because she was not picking up his calls or returning his messages.
Luca did not want to continue to be harassed. She replied briefly: [I'm fine.]
She thought that Enoch would not bother her if she acted indifferently. She did not think that Enoch would call as
soon as she put down her phone.
Luca looked at the caller ID and felt helpless. It was the first time she was so annoyed when dealing with a person.
The phone kept vibrating, so she was forced to answer. "Hello, it's Luca."
"Luca, are you okay?" Enoch asked, concerned.
"I was driving, so I didn't have time to reply to your messages, sorry." Luca was indifferent to his enthusiasm.
Enoch noticed something, but he continued with his efforts when he thought of Luca's face. "Ah, okay. I was worried
when you didn't answer my calls or replied to my messages. Have you been working overtime until now?"
"Yes." Luca did not bother to tell him what she did. After all, this could lead to an endless number of topics.
All she wanted to do was to wash up, take care of her work, and go to bed.
Enoch said, "You sure work hard. Have you eaten dinner? Shall I get you some takeout?"
"No, thank you. I've already eaten at the office. I still have work to do. Is there anything else you want to talk
about?" Luca took a deep breath, trying to maintain a friendly tone.
Enoch heard the overtones and said quickly, "I was just worried about you. Since you're so busy with work, I won't
disturb you for now. If you have time, let's catch up over the weekend?"
Luca noticed that he was taking the opportunity to ask her out and quickly refused. "I'll be working overtime this
weekend. The company's project is coming to an end. I don't think I have time to catch up for the next few weeks.
Since all is well, I'll attend to my work now."
After she finished speaking, she did not give Enoch a chance to answer and quickly hung up.
Luca sighed. She thought that someone who was introduced by Queenie and Jack would not cross the line, but now
it seemed...
She was speechless.
It may be because Enoch usually behaved better in public settings. He was gentle and well-mannered, so he was
more popular with the elders.
In private, however, he was so ungiving that Luca began to wonder how he went on with his life with his emotional
intelligence.
After all, Jack believed in his abilities, so he must have something up his sleeve.
Luca could not figure it out. She decided to put the phone aside. She opened the closet and took out her pajamas
before going into the bathroom to wash up.
She came out with her body dry and turned on the computer to resume working.

Enoch was upset after Lua hung up on him. He fell in love with Luca at first sight, but when Queenie was around, he
did not want to seem overly enthusiastic.
However, Luca did not seem to care much about him.
Enoch decided to try again. He wanted to ask Queenie for help. After all, she and Jack were the ones who
introduced them. It was normal to ask Queenie for help.
As such, Enoch called Queenie.
After the call was connected, Queenie was very puzzled to receive a call from him at this hour. "Enoch, it's so late.
What's the matter?"
After hearing her say that, Enoch realized that it was very late and he really should not be disturbing her. Since he
was already on the call, though, he had to bite the bullet and say, "Mrs. Norman, good evening. I'm sorry to call you
at this hour and disturb your rest."
"That's okay. I haven't gone to bed yet but why are you..." Queenie looked at Jack curiously. ‘Is it because he
couldn't contact Jack, so he's looking for him through me?'
It was not the first time that something like that had happened. She watched Jack sit on the sofa with a wide smile
on his face. He had been like this since he got home. He said nothing when she asked him about it. All he said was
that something good had happened, and she was very puzzled.
"Are you looking for my husband?" Queenie asked.
Enoch quickly shook his head and answered, "No, I'm looking for you. You introduced me to Luca last time, so I
wanted to thank you. I want to invite you and Mr. Norman to have dinner together sometime."
"How is it? Is it going well?" Queenie asked happily when she heard that he wanted to invite them for dinner.
If Luca and Enoch got together, then she and Luke would be innocent.
"Not yet, but I'm working on it. I want to thank you two for introducing me to such a good woman." Enoch
euphemistically expressed his gratitude and the fact that he had yet to score with Luca.
