After he stood up straight, Jason cleared his throat and asked softly, "Boss, can I have a word with Dr. Craw?"
His question made Luca blush.
She was standing there, but Jason asked Luke first. It was as if he was worried about tipping the man off...
It was made to seem like she was very close to Luke.
Luca suppressed her shyness and asked, "Mr. Doyle, what's the matter?"
Jason laughed dryly, glanced at Luke, and confirmed that the man's expression was normal before he asked, "Dr.
Craw, did you bring the hangover prevention medicine?"
"Ah, yes." Luca let go of Luke's hand, took out a medicine bottle from her bag, and handed it to Jason.
Jason happily took it, took one for himself, and swallowed it.
Luca glanced at the people next to her. In Russia, both men and women were very good at drinking. Jason asked
her for the medicine so as to not lose the face of T Corporation if he could not drink.
She said, "Mr. Zac, do you need it?"
Hearing what she said, Jason turned around to look at the others. "Dr. Craw's hangover prevention medicine works
wonders. Even if you drink too much tonight, you won't feel anything tomorrow."
Mr. Zac's eyes lit up when he heard that. "That's wonderful! Dr. Craw, can you give me one?"
"Take it if you need it." Luca was not stingy. The hangover prevention medicine was not hard to make.
Mr. Zac took it and said to the other T Corporation employees. "We'll have to drink at the event. Who wants to take
one?"
Everyone took one when they heard that it helped with hangovers.
The bottle of medicine was almost finished by the time it got back to Mr. Zac. He was a little embarrassed and did
not know how many were left. He turned around, looked at Luca, and asked, "Mr. Crawford, Dr. Craw, have you
taken it? "
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"We already took it in the car. You can have it," Luca spoke on Luke's behalf.
Luke was not at all unhappy that she answered for him.
Luca speaking on his behalf was how they used to be.
He did not like to talk nonsense, so he was concise with a lot of things.
There were many instances when others did not understand him and Luca had to step in to help explain.
After everyone took the hangover prevention medicine, the door of the manor slowly opened.
The interior of the manor immediately appeared in front of everyone.
A man who was about 60 years old stood there waiting. Even though it was freezing cold, he was wearing a suit
with a cane in his hand. He smiled when he saw them.
Luke guessed that he was Marcos' housekeeper.
"Hello everyone, I'm the butler of the manor. I'm here to welcome you, our distinguished guests, on the orders of
our sir." Although the butler was old, his voice was loud like a bell.
"Hello, nice to see you," Luke said.
"Come with me, please." The butler made a gesture to invite them in.
Luke glanced at Luca. She put her hand on his arm obediently. They walked into the manor together.
The manor was from the last century and showed an ancient European-style charm everywhere they looked. The
manor covered a vast area. They had only walked in through the door and there was still a distance from the main
house.
Looking from a distance, the main house was at the center of the manor. There was some distance, but it did not
prevent them from seeing the bright lights over there. It was beautiful.
"It's spectacular." Among the people accompanying Luke, one was from the design department of T Corporation.
He had visited many European-style buildings, but manors like this were all private and generally inaccessible to the
public.
If they wanted to visit, they could only walk around the outer wall or go to the local museum to see photos.
However, an experience as such would never beat on-site visits.
After everyone came in, the butler pressed a button. The door behind him slowly closed.
He walked to the front of an extended Rolls-Royce next to him, opened the car door, and said, "It's a distance to the
main house, and the weather is cold. Please get in the car."
Luke took Luca's hand and got into the car.
The others behind him got into another car.
After the butler exhorted the driver, the car slowly drove away.
Luca looked at the view of the manor outside the window. It was winter, so the snow was falling. The beautiful
scenery was completely white.
It was purity in the greatest sense.
The Rolls-Royce drove for about ten minutes. After they reached the main house, Luke and others were invited to
get off.
"Mr. Crawford, welcome." Marcos stood at the door and greeted Luke warmly when he saw him getting out of the
car. A flash of admiration flashed in his eyes when he saw Luca, who was standing beside Luke.
Marcos could still recognize that Luca was the translator standing beside Luke even though she was dressed well.
Although she had a beautiful face, Luca used to wear old-fashioned clothes that presented herself as a corporate
person on the previous occasions they met. She looked different when she was dressed up.
Luke had good taste. It was no wonder Luke turned him down when he proposed Luke bring a plus one that night
and asked Luke if he needed him to introduce someone to him.
'With a woman with such a good temperament around him, why would he need other female companions?'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if Luke agreed, he would not necessarily be able to find a plus one with a better temperament than Luca.
They were the perfect couple.
Marcos sighed in his heart. He acted like a gentleman, and his eyes did not pause too long on Luca.
"Hello, Mr. Marcos," Luke responded politely. At the same time, he noticed that there were constant noises in the
main house. Even if Marcos' family was huge, it should not be this noisy.
It seemed that there were other people besides the Marcos family.
It was no wonder that Marcos told him that he must attend the banquet that night after they signed the contract.
If he built connections with everyone present, it was just a matter of time for T Corporation to expand to the
European market.
As soon as everyone with Luke got out of the car, Marcos invited them into the main house.
There were many people inside with Russian features.
Even without an introduction from Marcos, Luke knew from the behavior of most people that these were all the rich
and powerful of Western Europe.
They were not like most businessmen.
These people had both money and power.
They all started their business with family money. If they were successful, they would be just like Marcos, belonging
to a huge family and owning a famous group.
Those who were not successful would not be here.
Luca stood next to Luke and knew that many eyes were on her. She realized that the people attending the banquet
were extraordinary and most of them came with partners. She secretly thought that Luke made the right decision.
The night would not be awkward if she stood beside him as his plus one.
"Mr. Crawford, why don't I introduce you to some of the people here?" Marcos took the role of the host seriously.
