Speaking about bubble tea caught Nina's interest. She nodded her head as she walked in the direction of the bubble tea shop arm in arm with Luca. In the beauty salon, Sophia shot a glance at Tia. The look on her face was terrifying.“Ms. Tia…” She reminded her in a soft voice. “The people in the beauty salon are looking at us.”As Tia watched Nina and Luca leave arm in arm, she turned around and asked the staff working in the beauty salon. "They were in the room next to us all along?""Yes, Miss." The beauty salon manager nodded her head and replied. She did not expect something like this to happen and wondered if she should renovate the beauty salon to improve the soundproofing. Tia took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions that were about to explode within her. “When did they start their facial session?” “Probably ten minutes earlier than yours,” the beauty salon manager replied in a soft voice. Tia staggered. Then it mean they had heard everything she told Sophia.Sh
Luca walked in after the door was opened. She was surprised to see Abel sitting on the chair. He was actually in A City…Back then when she was on the Island of Despair, she often saw Abel in A City. The errands were always run by someone else. Ever since she got out of the island, the chances of him being in A City were higher. Sometimes, Luca thought that he did not rebuild the Island of Despair for the sake of money. It was to deal with Luke Crawford. Luke Crawford was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to get rid of it, and she was his tool. "Why are you so late?" Abel complained and glanced at the time. She was half an hour late for the appointment. "Your reckless way of doing things has caused me to be followed closely by his men now. I needed some time to get rid of them," Luca explained with many grievances in her tone. Abel listened to her and chuckled. Then, he made eye contact with his men. His subordinate received his signal and handed the vial to Luca. Luca s
As the agent listened to her concerns, she smiled and explained, "Miss, don't worry. The apartment is located in a high-end residential area. The landlords who can afford the apartment units there are certainly are people with good personal qualities. And the apartment uses an electronic door lock. The password can be reset. Others won’t know the password except for the tenant herself." Luca nodded her head and did not say anything more. It was a steal for Nina to be able to rent an apartment at that price. The agent had explained to them that the landlord was planning to immigrate and thought that it was a pity to leave the house empty, so he wanted to rent it out as soon as possible. That was why the rental was so cheap.It was a reasonable explanation, but Luca had this weird feeling from the beginning. Nina signed the agreement and agreed with the agent that she would be moving in tomorrow. She had been excusing herself from work because of all sorts of matters in the past
Luke walked into the guest room, and Luca was right there lying on the bed.He went closer and reached out to put his hands on Luca's forehead. Her body temperature was burning… “How long has she been having a fever?” Luke asked."She was having a slight fever when it was noon, but I have no idea when her fever got worse," Nina answered helplessly. She believed that Luca must have gotten worse during her sleep.Luca did not even mention it when she was feeling uncomfortable. Luke shot Nina a glance when he heard that and remained silent. Just a glance and Nina knew he was blaming her for being careless. She then said, "I thought she was just tired. I didn't think much about it. And I dared not to wake her up in the afternoon…" Luke threw off Luca’s sheets and carried her in his arms right away.“Are you sending her to the hospital now?” Nina watched him carry her away and asked. “I’ve informed Johann. He’s waiting at the apartment,” Luke replied and carried Luca out of th
After half an hour, Johann walked into the bedroom to take Luca’s temperature. Given the effects of the antipyretic injection, Luca’s body temperature was getting back to normal. Johann let out a sigh of relief. After he left some antipyretics for backup, just in case Luca's fever returned in the middle of the night, he left Luke's apartment.When he left, he brought Nina along with him.Since Nina did not drive here, when Johann offered to send her back to the hotel, she accepted his offer happily. Both of them left the building and got into the car. Nina could no longer suppress the confusion in her heart. "Dr. Park, you've known Mr. Crawford for such a long time. Do you get the feeling that something is wrong with him recently?"“Something is wrong with him? I don’t think so.” Johann knew what she was going to ask. He denied it with a smile. Nina saw his smile that was as sly as a fox and pouted, "I know both of you are best friends. And men will certainly cover it up for eac
Of course, there was another kind of situation, which was Abel was trying to contact her.The numbers they had been using to call each other were a bunch of messy codes. If Nina and Luke saw such a thing, they would definitely suspect what kind of phone call it was. At the same time, there was no need to unlock the screen to answer a call. What if they answered it…When Luke saw her knowing that someone had been calling her but she was not in a hurry to check her phone, he started to suspect something. When a person knew they had missed calls, they would immediately check their phone to see who had called. However, Luca did not do so. Her expression was slightly unnatural as well.Was she sick and confused, or was she afraid of something? “Are you not taking a look at your phone?” Luke asked as he stared at her.Luca snapped back to her senses and took her phone out of the bag. As she unlocked the screen, then there were indeed a few missed calls. She was slightly relieved.
His words sent Luca's heart stirring with waves after it had started to slowly calm down. With those unintentional words, she could not help but suspect. Was Luke already suspecting her identity?If he did, would he do anything behind her back?The caretaker kept the bowl and cutleries away. Luke stood up and said, “The caretaker will leave tomorrow. If there’s anything you need, you can ask her to buy them for you.”"Alright. Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Luca was feeling uneasy, but her tone was still polite. Her reply was always distant and calm. Luke stared at her and wondered when would her emotions be affected.Probably when she was in fear. Luke did not say anything more. He picked up his briefcase, turned around, and left. He did not let her see him off. He walked to the entrance, opened the door, and closed it. He left the place with his lingering aura. Luca was feeling a little melancholic. The caretaker walked out after she had finished cleaning the dishes. She a
However, thinking from a different perspective, there was not much of her stuff here. It was unnecessary for her to use the maid's room, so naturally, she would not go in that often. Even though Luke's belongings were left here, it was not a big deal.At the thought of this, Luca walked to the table and pretended to ask inadvertently, “So, does that mean the people that Mr. Crawford sent won’t be coming today?”“Yes, I’ll be moving out after I tidy up all these. By the way, Ms. Craw, I bought some groceries for you when I went to the supermarket to get the bedding. They’re in the fridge. I’ve also put the receipts you requested in the plastic bag,” said the caretaker.“Alright, thank you.” Although Luca was not having a fever anymore, her body was still weak and she was fatigued. She was probably still going through the effects of the antidote. After all, it was the antidote that Abel had mixed something else in. Her body needed more time to recover.Now that the caretaker had bo
