Chapter 3188 Tomorrow's Task Was Crucial
“We were just having a conversation," Gale lied through his teeth, locking the kids straight in the eye.
Tommy pointed at the ceiling, then to the floor. "The distance between the first and second floors isn't that far. We could hear everything clearly. We heard it all.”
“It was just a loud conversation," replied Gordan, shooting a glare at Gale.
It was all his fault for provoking him.
Now, his cool image in front of the kids was ruined.
"Alright. If you don’t want to embarrass yourselves, then stop arguing all the time." Luke stepped in to mediate. He turned to the kids and asked, "Did you wash your hands?”
“Yes,” replied Tommy.
Lanie glanced at Gordan and then at Gale, suddenly posing a deep question. “Daddy, Mr. Gale and Mr. Gordan argue so much. Can they really work together?”
He doubted their ability to cooperate with each other.
Both Gale and Gordan immediately put on serious faces.
"Lanie, you can’t doubt my seriousness and professionalism,” said Gordan.
“Nor can you doubt my abilities," added Gale.
Although they argued sometimes, they worked well together when it counted. They were nothing like this.
Luke looked at both of them and reassured his son, “Don’t worry. They can work together just fine.”
“Oh, I was just worried that their arguing would affect their work efficiency. " Lanie nodded, not fully understanding what the adults were doing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, he knew that constant arguing could not be good.
Gordan cast a blaming glance at Gale, as though he was silently accusing him it was his fault for always picking fights with him.
Gale glared back at him. It was as though it was also all Gordan’s fault. If he had not been so picky and sharp-tongued, he would not have argued with him.
"Alright. Let’s take our seats." As Luca watched the two of them glaring at each other, she knew that this staring match would not yield any resolution. With a decisive move, she stepped in and deftly diffused the tension. She directed them to their seats.
At this point, Gordan and Gale finally noticed the enticing aroma of the food.
In an instant, their appetites were whet. Their quarrels and glares were forgotten as they quickly moved to the dining area.
After checking where the spicy tacos were placed, Gordan and Gale sat down on that side.
Luca cin and said to the kids, "The non-spicy tacos are on this side. Csit here.”
“Okay, Ms. Luca,” replied the three kids as they took their seats.
Luca turned to Rain and asked, "Ms. Rain, which flavor would you like?”
Unlike Gale, who loved spicy food, Rain was open to both options. She glanced at the tacos and hesitated, "I want to try everything…”
“Then sit here.” Luca pointed at a spot in the middle.
Rain would be able to try everything if she sat there.
“Thank you, Dr. Craw,” said Rain, settling into her seat.
Luca turned to look at Luke and suggested, “Why don’t you sit here?”
She was pointing to another spot in the middle.
Luke has a sensitive stomach, a result of not having meals regularly because of work in the past. Therefore, he could not eat too much spicy food, or his stomach would suffer.
Hence, another middle seat was reserved for him.
“Okay,” Luke agreed without objection. To his left were the spicy tacos, and to his right were the non-spicy tacos. Gordan was seated next to the spicy tacos, followed by Gale.
This arrangement allowed Luca to sit to his right.
Luca indeed sat to his right, keeping an eye on the kids. Even though they could handle things themselves, they were still young, and she felt it was better to supervise them closely. She did not feel comfortable letting the kids manage on their own.
After Luca sat down, Aunt Nele brought out the salad.
Luca said, "Aunt Nele, please join us. You can choose to sit on either side.”
Aunt Nele usually ate with them, but if there were guests, she would consider their feelings and might not join. However, since Luca invited her, she nodded and replied, "I’ll sit here.”
She pointed at the side with the spicy tacos.
She had been craving it since Luca started preparing the food. It smelled so good.
“Alright.” Luca suddenly remembered that they had not prepared drinks. She turned to Gale and Gordan, asking, "I forgot to prepare drinks. Would you like swine, or...?”
She expected them to choose wine, knowing they had their eyes on Luke’s collection. However, their answers surprised her.
“Our work isn’t finished yet, Dr. Craw. I’ll just have sjuice, just like the kids," replied Gale.
“I don’t drink the day before work,” added Gordan. Although he had been drinking a lot lately, almost to the point of alcohol poisoning, he abstained when he had important tasks ahead.
“Okay, I’ll get the juice,” Luca nodded.
Aunt Nele stood up and said, "Ms. Craw, I’ll get it. Please sit down.”
With kids around the house, they always kept a stock of clean, quality ingredients, including tasty fruit juices, especially since summer was in full swing. Aunt Nelle headed to the kitchen and retrieved a case of fruit juice beverages from the fridge. The content is on DramaRead the latest chapter there!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe placed a glass of drink by each person and then sat back down.
“Let’s eat,” said Luke, picking up a taco.
Gordan and Gale eagerly followed suit.
The sauces, prepared by Luca, might not match everyone’s preferences, but they tasted good. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
After the meal, Luca and Aunt Nele started to clean up.
Rain offered to stay and help, but Luca quickly said, "Ms. Rain, they’re all upstairs now. You should go ahead and join them. We’ve got this covered."
Rain hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed. “It’s no trouble. I can help to clean up.”
"You’re a guest, and you have more important things to do. Go ahead." Luca gently pushed her toward the exit of the dining room.
Rain had no choice but to watch them work, feeling a bit awkward.
Even though she was a guest, she had known them for a long tand was very familiar with them. Besides, she already had breakfast and lunch here. She felt bad not helping out at all. The content is on DramaRead the latest chapter there!
She glanced upstairs, thinking how men had it easy.
They just ate and then went back to work, not bothering with the cleanup.
Rain shook her head helplessly, accepted Luca’s suggestion, and headed upstairs to continue discussing tomorrow's plans with the others.
Luca was right. Tomorrow's task was crucial.
They needed to plan meticulously. After investing so much time, manpower, and resources, they could not afford to waste them all.
Moreover, getting Matysh locked up in A City’s prison would be a huge favor to Marcos. This would pave the way for increased collaboration between T Corporation and M Group. The content is on DramaRead the latest chapter there!
Their market share in Russia was the lowest in every aspect. Luke had long wanted to break into the Russian market, and this was a golden opportunity.
