"I love Gordan very much. I fell in love with him at first sight." Vivian clasped the cup in her hand tightly and took a deep breath.Luca nodded without interrupting her.“I never thought that the man I fell in love with at first sight would be interested in me. Gordan came up to me and struck up a conversation with me. He has a fine sense of humor, and he didn’t despise me for my ugly looks. Even though it was unbelievable, I fell even deeper in love with him when I met him for the second time. But later I learned that Gordan was only teasing me when he said he liked me. Still, I didn’t mind. I’ve never asked for anything in my whole life. I’m ugly, so I don’t have the right to speak. But when Gordan told me that he didn’t like me and he was just fooling around, I came up with an idea.” Vivian did not know Luca was actually Bianca. That was why she summarized it and explained her past as well as how she met Gordan.“You kept him by your side?” Luca asked. She had heard about their
Vivian frowned. When she heard Luca say so, she thought it must be the kind of medicine that was hard to purchase.There were two types of medicines that were hard to find in the market. One was prohibited drugs, while the other were medicines used to cure extraordinary diseases. Vivian looked at Luca and thought she was probably not looking for the prohibited drugs. Besides, she would have her own reason for needing this medicine…“I can help,” said Vivian. She knew people who could get such things because of Ray. Luca shook her head and replied, “I can find them myself.”“You’re worried that someone will find out about it, right? Don’t worry. You’ve been listening to me all day today. I’m thankful. I’ll help you look for the medicine, and I’ll keep it a secret at the same time,” said Vivian. Although she still felt down, she was doing much better now after pouring her feelings out. Luca thought to herself that since Vivian had promised not to tell, then Luke would not be a
In the hotel.Vivian was drinking water after she swallowed the pill Luca gave her. Then, she was getting ready to rest. The doorbell rang when she had just sat on the bed. Vivian frowned. Could Luca have left her belongings behind, so she came back for them?Vivian headed to the door and remembered what Luca had told to her. The underworld scene in Russia was chaotic now.Ray's group was formidable. A big tree would attract the woodman's ax. A few smaller groups were green with envy over their family’s success. However, they always had bodyguards with them, and that was why they had been safe.Vivian was also under Ray’s protection. She never went out alone as two bodyguards would always follow her. Hence, nothing had ever happened to her.Now, Vivian was here alone. Perhaps those groups had received the news and they were planning to do something bad to her.Vivian was alerted. She did not open the door right away. Instead, she chose to take a glimpse through the peephole o
Russian food tasted bland to them. Hence, Luca's home-cooked meal smelled so good that it made them hungry.Jason was looking forward to it too.Luca walked into the kitchen and took the plates and cutleries out. Then, she placed them in front of Luke and Jason. She said, “There aren’t many ingredients and spices available here, so the food might not taste as good.”Spices such as oregano, rosemary, and thyme were not available in the hotel.Luca tried using Russian ingredients to prepare Western food.There were four dishes and soup on the table. Jason swallowed his saliva and suppressed the urge to immediately pick up his spoon to grab some of them.After all, Luke was still here. He should not be in a rush.Luca filled their bowls with soup for them. Just then, Luke’s phone vibrated. Luke picked up his phone, glanced at it, and said, "They’ve already decided on the meeting time."“Boss, when is it?” Jason asked. They had been communicating with the office in the Capital fo
Gale had some influence in Russia and knew that Ray was in search of Vivian.Hence, when he was reporting Luca's whereabouts, he reported about Vivian as well.However, Luke did not immediately tell Ray about it. After all, it was Ray's family issue. Previously, Ray did not talk much about that incident, so Luke did not think that he should comment too much about it either. Ray believed in what Luke said, and neither would Luke lie to Ray. Hence, Luke immediately made a call to his subordinates. He got them to head over to Ostin Hotel to look for Vivian."I didn't expect you to once again do me a big favor," Ray expressed his gratitude."My subordinate just happened to bump into her." Luke did not claim all the credit. If Ray really wanted to thank someone, it would have to be Luca.If it were not for Luca being nearby, she would not have bumped into Vivian.He recalled that even in the past, Bianca was never bothered about Vivian’s ugly appearance. She even treated Vivian with
Vivian was shocked. 'Ray got someone to look for me?'She initially thought it was Luca who did not keep her promise and informed Ray that she was in Ostin Hotel."What's wrong?" Ray asked after seeing her shocked expression.He did not tell her anything about it because Luke had requested not to tell her the truth. The truth was that it was Luke who informed Ray."Nothing. My things. Did you men help me bring them back?" Vivian asked."Yes. They brought back everything. They even helped you check out of your room. All of your things are over there." Ray lifted his chin toward the direction of the dressing table.Vivian's purse was on the dressing table."I got it." Vivian got down from the bed, and when she got up, she felt her legs weaken. She frowned."You'll be fine after drinking lots of water," Ray said. That drug was initially meant to be used against enemies. If it was not because he was worried that Vivian might struggle and escape, he would not have asked them to use
Bang! The phone was smashed into two pieces.The maid, who was standing at the door eavesdropping, was shocked. Due to the good soundproofing, she could only hear the sound of an item being smashed.'Is Gordan mad?'The maid quickly left and sent Ray a message.…On the other hand, it was late at night and Luca was sitting in front of the office table. She was handling the data sent by Rhett. Suddenly, she felt her body feeling uncomfortable.Subconsciously, she touched her forehead and found it to be rather warm…‘Did I catch a cold when I was outdoors today?'Luca sighed and looked at the monitor of the computer. Suddenly, she felt as if the words in front of her were starting to become blurry.'It seems like my body is giving a reaction.'Luca looked at the time and thought of getting some rest since she still had some time to work on the following day…'I should be fine after sleeping…'The next day, Luke woke up. After taking his time to sit in the wheelchair, he then
"Alright." Luke nodded. He was not influential here and did not know any friends who were doctors.Luca lay on the medical bed and was pushed out by the doctor and the nurses.Luke heard the doctor talking about Luca in Russian, "This patient's condition is a little special, so send her to an isolation ward."Luke saw Luca's face that was red because of the fever. he thought he should seek help from others.Only Gordan and Ray could help him here.In the end, Luke decided to look for Ray. He ordered Jason, "You follow them to the ward. I'll go and make a call.""Got it, sir." Jason quickly caught up to the doctor's footsteps.Luke made a call to Ray. "Luca is sick. Can I trouble you to help me look for a doctor?""She's sick? What kind of doctor do you need?" Ray was astonished. If Luke was reaching out to seek help from Ray, it would mean that Luca's illness was very serious.‘But she was still alright a few days ago. She's now sick?' "For now, I'm not too sure about it. Sh
