Tommy was Luca's child. She knew what it meant when she heard that.
Luca noticed the hesitancy in his voice. She could not help but keep a straight face. “Did you get yourself into
trouble?"
"I didn't..." Tommy sounded a little upset. He did not want to make this call, but the teacher insisted on asking his
guardian to come to school.
If Tommy asked his father to come to school, it was inevitable that he would be lectured when he went back home.
Besides, his father was busy with work.
Hence, Tommy discussed it with his teacher. His teacher knew who his father was too. Thus, the teacher agreed
that it would be fine as long as it was his guardian.
Tommy dared not to look for his great-grandpa either. He had no choice but to call her.
After all, Luca was his mother!
"Tell your teacher that I'll be there in 30 minutes." Luca glanced at the time and assumed that it would take 20
minutes for her to reach Tommy's school.
"Okay, Ms. Luca. I'll be waiting for you." Something crossed Tommy's mind as he added, "Oh, Ms. Luca, don't tell
Daddy."
Tommy was afraid of getting lectured.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Let me see what's going on at school first." Luca did not promise him.
Even though Tommy was her son, Luca's identity was not Bianca now.
If Tommy did something wrong, she would still have to lecture him.
It was just that she was in no position to do that now. Luke had to be the one educating and lecturing the kids. That
was why Luca did not agree to Tommy's request.
"Alright. I'll be waiting for you." Tommy hung up the call.
Luca gave Warren a call.
"Ms. Craw, I'm at the parking lot. If you need me to drive you somewhere else, just come down." Warren did not
wait for Luca to speak and went straight to the point.
Luca was startled for a moment. "Okay, I'm coming down now."
After that, Luca took off her lab coat, put on her winter coat, and left the office.
Luca did not know how long she would take. Hence, she walked into the assistant's office and said, “Ms. Stone, I'd
like to take some time off."
"Sure, Dr. Craw. How long?" Mo Stone took the leave slip out.
"Just one morning. Let me sign it. Please help me write down that I'm applying for a personal leave," answered Luca
as she wrote down her name on the leave slip. Then, she turned around and left.
Mo Stone looked at Luca's leave slip and shook her head. She immediately wrote down the reason Luca took the
leave—'temporarily away.'
After she filled in the time, she kept the slip in the file. She would have to wait until the end of the month before
handing it to the HR department.
Luca went into the elevator and came to the basement parking lot. Warren was waiting beside the car. He opened
the car door when he saw her walking toward him and let her get into the car.
Luca bent down and got into the car. Then, she said to Warren, "Head to Tommy's school."
"Okay, Ms. Luca." Warren fastened his seatbelt and headed straight to the school.
"Anyway, have you been here the whole while?" Luca asked.
"Yes. I'm your chauffeur now. Ms. Rain didn't assign me other jobs either. My job is to stay put and send you to your
destination at any time," answered Warren. He dared not to leave the spot as he was worried that such situations
would occur when Luca was at work. Sometimes, he would go farther away, but he would come back within five
minutes.
Moreover, what Luca did not know was that Luke had even set up an office for Warren in Watson
Biopharmaceuticals. It was for Luca's convenience whenever she needed to head somewhere else. Hence, it was
also convenient for Warren.
"I hope Matysh's matter can be settled soon..." Luca mumbled to herself. She had brought a lot of trouble to the
people around her because of it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce the matter was settled, they would not be so busy dealing with it anymore.
Warren knew what Luca had in mind. He deliberately changed the subject of the conversation. "Ms. Luca, why are
you suddenly heading to Young Master Tommy's school? Is he in trouble?"
"I'm not sure either. Tommy told me that his teacher would like to meet his guardian. He dares not disturb Mr.
Crawford. That's why he called me," answered Luca.
"Even though Young Master Tommy is a little naughty, he seldom causes any trouble," said Warren.
"Let's see what the teacher says. It's normal for kids to have disagreements and fight with each other." Luca
smiled. Although Tommy was active and playful, he knew he should not cause any trouble.
There must be a misunderstanding.
The car drew to a halt as they arrived at Tommy's school.
Luca told the security guard standing at the entrance her identity. Then, the guard led her toward the teacher's
office.
Luca was glad that she had seen what class Tommy was in when she was looking through Tommy's homework.
Otherwise, she would not have known how to answer the guard when he asked her some questions.
"Miss, here's Mrs. Tuffey's office," said the guard.
Mrs. Tuffey was Tommy's homeroom teacher.
“Okay. Thank you." Luca pushed the office door open. Mrs. Tuffey and another parent were there.
