''Go to the office together?''


    Luca thought of the gossip that she caused when she first joined thepany and immediately shook


    her head to turn him down. "Mr. Crawford, I''ll go to work by myself."


    Luke did not say anything and left with Tommy when he saw that she insisted on going to work by


    herself.


    Luca breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she had the illusion that Luke''s gaze when he looked


    at her had be warm.


    She thought of how he had always been stern and domineering but he did not insist that she tag along


    this time. She was a little unustomed to it.


    Luca looked at the time and slowly walked out the door after she thought that Luke had already left.


    She woke up early and had breakfast earlier than she usually would, so she was not worried about


    beingte. She took her time and walked slowly.


    Luca walked out of the front gate and saw a Hummer parked on the side of the road. It was very


    ostentatious.


    There were many rich and famous people in A City, so it did not surprise her. When everyone was


    paying attention to the modified Hummer, she continued to walk. After a hundred meters, she arrived at


    a taxi stand where many taxis were waiting for passengers.


    When he saw Lucae out from the entrance, the door of the Hummer opened and a man walked


    down from it.


    "Luca!" An arrogant male voice called out.


    Luca frowned, turned around, and saw Pierre Mallory standing next to the Hummer. He was waving to


    her and saying, "Where are you going? I''ll drive you."


    Many passersby sighed when they saw this scene. ''Sigh, he''s taken too.''


    Such handsome and rich men were often taken.


    Luca frowned, looked at the ostentatious man, and continued walking with disgust in her heart.


    Seeing that she did not respond, Pierre told the driver to drive the car forward while he closed the door


    and strode to her side. "Are you deaf?"


    Luca remained silent.


    "Hey, you have quite a temper, don''t you? Why aren''t you saying anything? Is there something wrong


    with your throat?" Pierre continued to provoke her.


    Luca still chose to keep quiet. The more attention she gave to a person like him, the more arrogant he


    would be. Ignoring him was the best option.


    Pierre touched his chin when he saw that. ''She has quite a personality. It''s a pity. If I want to have fun,


    this kind of woman would have my attention for a while but my goal is still Nina. Luca is just meant to


    entertain me for the meantime.''


    "What? Don''t think you can get away by not talking. I haven''t returned the p you gave mest time."


    Pierre wanted to grab her but just as he touched her hand, she pped his hand away.


    His hand was pped away under the gazes of so many people.


    Pierre felt that he had been humiliated, so he walked to her side and threatened her in a low voice, "If


    you continue to show your temper, I''ll go and pick on Nina."


    Luca rolled her eyes at him. Although she did not want to pay him any attention, when the man


    mentioned that he wanted to harass Nina, she could not help but say, "Although Nina has broken up


    with your brother, your brother doesn''t seem to have any intention of letting go."


    "What did you say?" Pierre was very upset when he heard her bring up Percy. ''Does everyone think


    that they can use Percy to ckmail me?''


    "Did I stutter? Did you find out more about what Luke told youst time? What is Percy nning? Has


    he really let go of Nina?" Luca continued to ask.


    She did not dig deeper into what was happening between Nina and Percy because she did not even


    have enough time to manage her tasks at hand. She had no time to mind other people''s affairs.


    It would be great if Pierre could find out more about it and tell her.


    Pierre had a stern expression. His temper was not good. He wanted to pick on Luca but she turned the


    situation around and pissed him off.


    "Luca, stay in yourne."


    Luca listened to his warning and did not panic. "Stay in myne? You were the one who mentioned


    Nina and I''m just curious. What''s wrong with that? Could it be that you haven''t found out anything even


    after so long? He''s your brother but you don''t know anything? Are you really brothers?"


    She knew how to target one''s sore points, and after thest time, she knew exactly what Pierre''s sore


    point was.


    It was Percy...

    Percy was responsible for taking the lead and making decisions while Pierre was the executioner.


    The brothers were both from the Mallory family. Although there was nothing wrong with their way of


    working, the person who had to obey and execute would feel somewhat wronged after a period of time.


    Pierre was in that position.


    Luca only needed to provoke him slightly to stir up this sense of imbnce in him.


    She was not afraid of what Pierre would do to Percy when he was triggered. Rather, she hoped that he


    would take action.


    Percy had bullied Nina for so long. He deserved to suffer a little.


    Luca walked over to the taxi stand and stood in line.


    It was still early today and there were not many people waiting in line. It would not take too long for her


    to get a taxi and get rid of Pierre, the annoying scum.


    Pierre''s mood sank, and he clenched his fists when he heard her provocation. "Of course, I know what


    my brother is doing." "You do? Do you really? Then tell me, is he going to marry the daughter of the


    Johnston family? Oh no, if he''s going to marry her, why do you think Mr. Crawford said what he said?"


    Pierre listened to her question and was speechless.


    The people lining up in front of Luca got into the taxis one after another. Soon, Luca was first in line.


    Looking at the empty taxiing over from the distance, Luca smiled and reminded him, "You''d better


    check it out yourself and stop thinking about how to get Nina. There are some things, people, and even


    statuses that you can''t get just because you want them, Mr. Mallory. Also, if you continue to cause


    trouble for me, you''ll never hear the end of it. I''m not one of those weak women. With me, you''ll only


    suffer. if you don''t believe me, juste at me."


    Her conceit came from her confidence in her skills.


    Pierre snorted coldly when he saw her bend over and get into the taxi.


    The thorn in his heart was picked on again. He was pissed.


    He angrily walked toward the Hummer parked on the side of the road.


    As soon as he got in the car, he received a call from Percy. "Where are you? Meet me at the office."


    Pierre said impatiently to the person on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I''ll head there now."


    Percy frowned when he heard the impatient voice. After he hung up, he made another call. As soon as


    the call was connected, he asked, "How is Nina doing?"


    "Ms. Langdon just went out. Looking at the route she''s taking, I believe that she''s going to the hospital.


    By the way, the surgeon told me yesterday that the surgery was a sess, but they still have to keep a


    close eye on whether she can survive this critical condition," the person on the other end of the phone


    said.


    Percy loosened up when he heard that Anna O''Reilly''s operation went well. "Continue to keep an eye


    on her."
