Nina had been lying on the bed for the whole morning. The maid did not come in to disturb her anymore. The bedroom was pushed open when it was noontime. The maid came and saw that the breakfast was left there, untouched. She could not help but mock Nina. "Ms. Nina, you sure know how to waste your food." Nina closed her eyes, refusing to talk to her. No matter what she said, she would not be able to get out of here. She figured that she would save some energy for herself.The maid glanced at the person at the door and said, “Since Ms. Nina refuses to eat, then please give her a nutrition injection.”“No!” Nina opened her eyes. She knew what a nutrition injection was and she refused to get that. She thought of showing defiance against Pierre by refusing to eat and asking him to let her go. If she was given the nutrition injection, it was useless for her to go on a hunger strike.Although nutrition injection was not as good as eating food, it could keep her alive and prevent anyt
The female doctor replied, “She’s asleep. Don’t worry. We added a drug that puts her to sleep in the IV drip to prevent her from crying and causing us any trouble.”The maid nodded. The female doctor looked at Nina's face and sighed quietly. “She’s hardly considered a stunning beauty. Her figure is slim and looks good, but she’s way too skinny in some parts. She's different from the other women Boss used to be with.” The two doctors were private doctors whom Pierre had hired. That was why they knew most of Pierre’s ex-girlfriends. The maid said, “As ordinary as she looks, this woman seems to be Boss’ favorite. Now, stop talking nonsense. You'll probably get into trouble in the future if she can hear you. Judging from her situation now, she's going to submit to the boss sooner or later.""She's asleep now. She can't hear any of this. Relax," said the female doctor. The IV drip had just finished. She pulled off the needle, pressed on the injection spot for a while, and let go of
Luca placed the takeout on the dining table. This villa was big. It was much bigger compared to the bachelor’s apartment. She walked around the house, wondering if Luke had installed surveillance cameras in the house. However, she did not find any.Even so, her not being able to find any did not mean that none were installed. Luca sat on the chair beside the dining table and looked at the takeout. She was lost in thoughts. Her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw that there was a message from Luke. Luca tapped on the screen. His voice came into his ears. “Have you received the takeout I ordered?”The man's voice was deep and hoarse as though it was a ray of sunshine in the cold weather, slightly warming up her cold heart. Luca was startled. She picked up the phone and replied to him, "I got it. Thank you, Mr. Crawford."[You’re welcome. Eat it while it’s warm.] Luke did not send an audio message this time. He replied with a text message instead. Luca looked at those six sim
The next day.Luca opened her eyes. It was already a quarter past seven.As it was about time to go to work, she headed to the master bedroom and took a set of office wear out. She did not move out everything when she moved out last time, and she kept some of her things here.Although the clothes were thin as they were meant to wear during early autumn, she would still be able to make do. She checked the weather forecast, and it showed that it would not be too cold today.After Luca washed herself up, her phone rang when she was about to leave. She picked it up and glanced at it. It was Luke. “Good morning, Mr. Crawford.” She answered the call, sounding cautious and serious. Luke was standing outside the villa. He pressed on the doorbell again. “Are you still in bed?” “No, I’m awake. I’m about to go out and head to the office. Is there anything you need?” Luca thought he called her early in the morning to give her work to do.Luke frowned. She was about to go out? Then why
After breakfast, Luca sat in the office chair and started to work.Tina came from time to time to hand her the documents to be translated. She said, "Dr. Craw, the documents to be translated are increasing. You have to pay attention to your time management. You can’t delay your work from the lab or have any errors with your translation work."Luca nodded. The drug research was about to end. If there were no issues during the final experiment, the product could be launched.Therefore, she often went downstairs to preside over the experimental research.However, the translation work was also very important. She had to take care of both ends, and her workload was more than that of other T Corporation employees."Thank you for your hard work. Do you want coffee?" Tina asked."No, thank you." Luca took a sip from her coffee cup and continued to work.At noon, the phone rang. It was Amur who called.Luca quickly answered and asked, "Amur, are you back?""Yes, I'm back. Are you at wo
"He's living with you?" Amur frowned. He was uneasy at the thought of Luca and Luke being together again.Luca was put in such a situation because of this man. If she got back with Luke, the catastrophe that would bring her was unimaginable."No, I’m living alone. I moved out of that place because Abel killed a security guard there. The place I’m living at now is great. It's close to the office, so it's convenient to travel to and fro from work." Luca was a little incoherent. She knew that he wanted to move in with her but she had to stop him.It was just because of what Luke said.Luca was relying on him and could not move out, so no matter what, she still had to listen to Luke.Amur understood that she did not want him to move in purely because of that man. He gripped his fork tightly and said, "If you want your journey to the office to be more convenient, I'll rent an apartment near your office with you. Don't worry about the rent. I've saved up over the years."Luca shook her
"Brother?" Luke stopped working."Yes, I heard that it’s a man with European features." Jason had not realized the problem and continued with his report.Luke's mood sank. She told him the day before that Amur would be back and she ended up having a meal with him as soon as he returned...‘She’s that excited? Doesn't she know that besides me, all other men are trash? How could she have dinner with that man…’Jason noticed Luke's gloomy expression and realized that he was in trouble.He hurriedly said, "Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading off to attend to some tasks.""Wait a minute." Luke stopped Jason, who desperately wanted to leave."Boss, what can I do for you?" Jason turned around with a serious expression. He looked like he was ready to make a noble sacrifice."When Luca comes back, get her to come into my office," Luke ordered."Will do." Jason breathed a sigh of relief. He felt fortunate that Luke did not pick on him even though he was in a bad mood. He hurr
The master bedroom was near the stairs. Luca walked in, put down the briefcase, and came out again.She noticed that something was off and turned her head, looking at the guest bedrooms.Previously, she opened all the doors of the guest bedrooms for ventilation. However, all of the doors were closed now...‘Could it be that the cleaning lady and maid closed them after they were done cleaning up?’Luca did not think much about it and did not bother to open the doors. She walked downstairs. She had to prepare dinner for three children and two adults, so there was a lot to do. If she started immediately, she could have some desserts ready for the kids when they arrived. After she thought of that, she rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner with Leane.Half an hour later, Luca's appetizers were ready and Zander arrived at the villa with the children.Tommy walked into the villa and went straight to the kitchen, shouting, "Ms. Luca!"Luca turned around a
