"Hi, Dr. Craw," Gale greeted her smilingly.
“Mr. Gale, am I interrupting?" Luca noticed that Gale had changed his hairstyle, and he
was dressed differently too.
He looked like someone familiar. She would have thought that he was Marcos if she had
not seen his face.
“No, I just came to my boss' office to have a seat. Gordan said that the sofa in his office is
comfortable and perfect for lying down. He was right," Gale said laughingly.
Luke looked annoyed. It seemed that Gordan was a bad influence, so he should not let
them get too close.
Luca glanced at Gale and Luke before placing the documents on the desk.
Luke said, “Don't go. I'll have a look right now."
He decided to pause the work at hand to read the documents Luca brought over.
“Okay." Luca nodded and sat on another sofa.
She would not have noticed if Gale had not mentioned it, but the sofa was actually pretty
comfortable.
“So? It's comfy, right? My boss knows what's good," Gales whispered.
Luca laughed.
Gale changed the topic. “Dr. Craw, don't you think I look like someone else today?"
“You look like Mr. Marcos," Luca answered.
“Yup, I'm impersonating Mr. Marcos. What do you think? Do I look like him? I cut and dyed
my hair yesterday." Gale showed off to her.
After Luke planned out the mission, he went to the top hair salon in A City for a hairdo.
“You look a lot like him. If it weren't for your facial features, I would've thought that you
were him." Luca nodded. Then, she grew curious. “Why are you dressing up like him?"
“I... Mr. Crawford, can I tell her?" Gale asked Luke.

“She's one of us." Luke did not say much, but Gale understood what he meant.
He said, “Mr. Marcos is here to look for his family, but his family in Russia has been
watching him, so I'm pretending to be him to distract them."
Luca understood what was going on.
Marcos must not let the people in Russia know about his search for his biological mother,
or else, she would be in danger.
Gale disguising as Marcos would help divert their attention.
Even if someone were to follow Marcos, all they could do was wait by the road because not
everyone was allowed to enter T Corporation. Thus, they would not be able to go up even
if they walked into the building.
Having business to discuss with Luke was a good excuse, and with the help of Gale,
Marcos could successfully find his biological mother.
“Mr. Gale, if you knew how to do prosthetic makeup, you might be able to do things in Mr.
Marcos' place," Luca murmured. That way, others would not get the impression that
Marcos was going to T Corporation every single day.
After all, T Corporation and M Group's collaboration had already reached a mature stage.
The Russians would get suspicious if Marcos continued coming here...
Matysh was in prison right now. Though he was arrested for something that happened a
few years ago, he was charged with another crime too.
If they investigated this new crime, they would find out that it had something to do with
Luke.
"Prosthetic makeup? I don't know how to do it. Do you, Dr. Craw? If you do, you can teach
me!" Gale asked smilingly as the Island of Despair did not teach anything like this.
After Luca mentioned it, he thought that perhaps the Island of Despair was teaching it
now.
Gale assumed that she somewhat knew how to do it.
Luca shook her head. "I don't. I was just kidding. Isn't this common in films?"
She was not lying. She actually did not know how to do prosthetic makeup.
Back on the Island of Despair, there was someone who looked like they were from A City,
but she was not sure if they were actually from here as everyone on the Island of Despair
either spoke Russian or German.
That person spoke Russian fluently, and Luca had never heard him speak any other
language. He even spoke German with a Russian accent.
He knew how to do prosthetic makeup.
Prosthetic makeup was like modern cosmetics and special effects makeup that was often
seen on television to change the shape of a person's face.
It was similar to imitation makeup commonly seen on the internet where they would often
use makeup to transform their appearance to look like someone else.
However, imitation makeup only looked good onscreen as the lighting softened its
appearance. In reality, the makeup would look heavy and unnatural.
It was different with the person on the Island of Despair. Whoever he transformed, they
would look natural enough to walk on the streets without anyone suspecting that it was a
disguise.
That was the difference between prosthetics and imitation makeup.
Gale was disappointed to hear her say that. "I believe that there are still experts in
prosthetic makeup out there. Dr. Craw, you'd better watch out. If an expert disguises
themselves as Mr. Crawford, you must be able to notice the anomaly!"
"Pfft." Luca was amused by what he said. How many prosthetic makeup experts were
there?
Although the person from the Island of Despair had top-notch skills, he was not perfect.
For instance, there were other factors like height, physique, and many more.
It might be easy to impersonate a fat person, but how would one impersonate a skinnier
person?
The person from the Island of Despair may be an expert, but the most he could do was
make one's face look thinner. There was no way he could change one's body shape.
Not to mention the height.
If someone wanted to impersonate someone just slightly taller or shorter than them, he
could do so with insoles.

If someone wanted to imitate someone way taller or shorter than them, insoles would not
cut it.
Therefore, prosthetic makeup was not always a sure thing.
However, if that person on the Island of Despair were to disguise Gale as Marcos, that
would not be a problem.
Both of them had similar physiques. If he just fixed up Gale's face a little, he would
definitely look like Marcos.
"Both of you sure do have a lot to talk about," said Luke. He was so bossy that he did not
like Luca laughing at other men's jokes.
Even if that person was Gale, who had no interest in Luca.
After sensing Luke's jealousy, Gale instantly stood up and yawned. "I'm a little sleepy. Mr.
Crawford, I'll go nap in the reception room. If anyone comes over later, tell Mr. Doyle not
to let them into the reception room over there."
He immediately left after that without waiting for Luke to reply.
Men were not any less jealous than women, especially those who were as possessive as
Luke.
Not to mention he was possessive over only one woman.
Gale did not think that it was a good idea to offend him, so he escaped.
He did not want Luke to send him on a mission somewhere far away once his business
here was done.
Life here was good, and Gale did not want to suffer in remote mountainous areas.
Luca watched Gale flee from the CEO's office like a frightened rabbit before thinking about
what Luke said just now.
A lot to talk about?
Did he think that Gale talked too much?
Was he jealous?
When Luca realized that he was jealous of Gale making her laugh, she immediately
stopped smiling and put on a serious face.
