"Mr. Whitlock, defamation is not a word that you can just throw out." Luca saved the recording and put her phone in
her pocket. "You have no evidence, but what you just said is evidence that you did it if my project data is leaked."
She did not want to do this kind of thing, but Mr. Whitlock's harassment annoyed her.
Mr. Whitlock's expression was ugly, and his mood was gloomy. He could not say anything because he was so angry.
Without the data, the man would fire him.
T Corporation would not allow him to stay for long as well.
Luca was right. Luke would not let him fool around.
Luke still did not fire him after he made so many mistakes. It seemed that Luke wanted to find out who was behind
him.
Luca put away her smile and said with a blank expression, "If it's all right, I'll be back in my office. I still have
documents to attend to."
Mr. Whitlock watched her leave before he slammed on the table with his big palm.
After Luca left his office, she shook her head helplessly when she heard the sound.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe did not want to go that far, but she knew that Mr. Whitlock would walk all over her if she did not make it seem
serious.
Luca had a headache. ‘When will Luke deal with Mr. Whitlock?'
She returned to her office. She continued to work after she uploaded the recording on her phone to the cloud.
It was soon after work hours, and Mr. Whitlock had not bothered her since their last interaction.
Luca glanced at the time. She got a text from Luke when she stood up to leave.
[Aunt Wanda invited you to the Rayne family's house for dinner.]
'Aunt Wanda?'
Luca thought of Wanda. During the New Year, she could not visit them because of her identity, so it had been a long
time since they met.
She remembered that the last time she met was because Marie took Jean to the Rayne family's house to make
trouble, so she had the chance to see her grandpa and Aunt Wanda.
Luca was happy to have a chance to see them, so she agreed. [Okay, I'll ask Warren to send me there.]
Luke replied quickly: [Mm, I'll be there later.]
Luca tidied up her desk briefly, clocked out, and took Warren's car to Wanda's house.
The maid opened the door for her and led her through the garden. It was spring, so the plants that had been
dormant in winter were slowly sprouting under Wanda's care.
It was the breath of spring, and Luca liked it very much.
They had arrived at the entrance, so Luca changed into slippers before she entered the house. She saw Wanda
sitting on the sofa and moving the tea set on the coffee table around. She walked over to greet her, "Aunt Wanda."
"Luca, you're here. Come and sit here. I just made some herbal tea. Do you want to have some?" Wanda greeted
her with a smile when she saw Luca.
Luca nodded and sat on the sofa across from her. "Yes, thank you."
Wanda poured her a cup of hot tea. "My friend sent me this flower tea. They said it's the first batch of spring
flowers in the greenhouse and tastes good when made into tea. Come and try some."
Luca took the teacup she handed over and accidentally grazed Wanda's hand with her fingertips. Her fingertips felt
cold as soon as they came into contact.
She could not help but wonder what went wrong.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe heating in the house was constant, and the temperature was suitable, so she wondered why Wanda's hands
were so cold.
'Was she outside just now and just entered the house?'
"Why don't you have some?" Wanda saw that she was holding the teacup but did not move, so she asked, "You
don't like drinking floral tea?"
"No, I like it." Luca shook her head and took a sip of the tea. She was in no mood to enjoy the tea. She looked at
Wanda and asked, "Aunt Wanda, did you just come in from outside?"
"What?" Wanda blinked. It took a while for her to process Luca's question. She smiled and shook her head. "No, I've
been in the house."
"Why are your hands so cold..." Luca frowned. 'Since she's been inside the whole time, her hands shouldn't be cold
since the heating is sufficient.'
"Oh, my hands have always been like this. I went for a physical examination and they told me that I'm anemic, so
my hands and feet get cold easily. I'm used to it." Wanda touched her hand. It was cold, but she had always been
like this, so she did not think much of it.
After all, even in summer, the temperature of her palms was lower than that of ordinary people.
"Aunt Wanda, although this may happen to patients with anemia, you're in a heated room now. This shouldn't
happen..." Luca was even more puzzled as that was not in line with the human body's mechanism.
