However, Luca was no longer afraid since Tommy had already seen her like this.


    Seeing that she agreed to have video calls with him, Tommy obediently agreed, especially when he


    thought of how Luke might give him a hard time for what he did and maybe even spank him.


    He thought about it for a while, then asked, "Ms. Luca, can you do me a favor?"


    "What can I do for you?" Luca asked.


    "If Daddy gets angry at me, help me out," Tommy said. His daddy loved his mommy the most. If Luca


    was willing to help him, he would not be spanked!


    Luca raised her eyebrows and asked, "You want me to say something nice on your behalf?"


    Tommy nodded hard. "Yeah. If you''re willing to help me, Daddy will not me me. He refused to bring


    me here because he was worried that I would affect your rest. Please help me..."


    Luca wanted tough when she saw how scared Tommy was of Luke''s scolding.


    She pinched the child''s face again and said, "I can help you this time but there won''t be another time.


    It''s not good to lie, especially if the lie involves your health."


    "Got it, I won''t do it anymore," Tommy promised her.


    May walked out of the bathroom with the washed grapes and said, "Tommy,e and have some


    grapes."


    Tommy cheered and ate the grapes.


    After he was done eating, he reluctantly left the ward and asked Zander to bring him back to school.


    May shook her head with a smile on her face as she watched him leave. "He''s so cute. I didn''t expect


    his son to be so cheeky considering Mr. Crawford''s calm temperament."


    Luca sighed and said, "Yeah, Mr. Crawford has three children. Tommy is the naughtiest of the bunch."


    Tommy grew up by her side. He was unlike Rainie and Lanie who spent most of their childhood with


    Luke. As such, Rainie and Lanie''s temperaments were simr to Luke''s.


    They were calm.


    Tommy was spoiled rotten by her. Even though she had been unable to take care of him in those three


    years, his temperament remained as it had been that way since childhood.


    "It''s cute when they''re a little naughty.” May sighed. She liked Tommy very much.


    Luca''s phone rang. She picked it up and saw that Nina had texted her.


    Nina was checking in on her.


    Luca replied: [The swelling on my face has reduced, I can open my mouth a little more and I can talk


    now.]


    For the past two days, Nina has been chatting with her via text. She did not go to the hospital because


    she did not want to risk bumping into Percy in the hospital.


    Nina smiled when she received a reply from Luca. She was d that she was doing better.


    There was a knock on the door. Nina said, "Come in."


    Her assistant walked in.


    "Yes?" Nina asked while she put down her phone.


    "Ms. Langdon, someone came by and mentioned that he has a project to discuss with you," the


    assistant replied.


    Nina was in charge of thepany''s sales. Those who wanted to work with thepany would talk to


    Nina before discussing with Sue and the other designers about the design of the building.


    "Take him to the reception room. I''ll be there in a while," Nina said. She did not find it strange that a


    business partner hade to look for her. After all, thepany''s reputation had grown over the years


    and manypanies wanted to hire them for projects.


    "Okay." The assistant nodded and left.


    Nina briefly packed up, took her tablet, and left the office.


    As she arrived at the entrance of the reception room, she pushed the door open and saw the man


    sitting inside. Her brows furrowed instantly. She said in an annoyed tone, "Why are you here?"


    "I''m here to discuss business with you," Pierre said with a smile.


    Nina was even more displeased when she saw his malicious smile.


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She did not like a single thing about Pierre. His smile was as though he thought of himself as the king


    of the world.


    The assistant looked at the two with a surprised look.


    Nina knew that Pierre had secretly set up apany. Their products and services ovepped with


    those from T Corporation and Mallory Corporation.


    She said, "Doesn''t yourpany have a professional design team? Why do you still need a small


    company like us to help?"


    "Mypany has just been established. Although those in the design team are all excellent, their


    experience is still not as good as yours, so I want to hire an agency. What''s wrong with that?" Pierre


    said in a serious tone.


    He wanted Nina in his arms. If he could not win her by force, he was going to use a softer approach.


    He just wanted her.


    Pierre did not understand why he was obsessed with Nina. All this while, he had been silently waiting in


    the dark for her rtionship with Percy to end.


    Maybe it was the sight of her stabbing herself in the stomach with a knife that shocked him...


    Nina was the first woman he met who was so cruel to herself.


    "Even if you''re looking for an agency, ourpany is not the one for you. There are many good


    companies out there. Good luck." Nina turned him down without a second thought. She did not want to


    have anything to do with a sinister and cunning man like him!


    Moreover, she had heard some gossip about Pierre''spany.


    "You don''t want my business?" Pierre asked with his eyebrows raised.


    Nina sneered and replied, "Luke is our boss, and T Corporation is preparing to bid for the project in


    Europe. Ourpany''s designers will be on standby to work on this project. Yourpany seems to


    bepeting for the same project. If we get into partnership with you, it''s not inpliance with the


    rules, so, good day.”


    Even though Pierre had cleared his suspicions, Nina still believed that he was the mastermind behind


    the kidnapping.


    After all, hispany has issued a statement that they would participate in the tender for this project.


    Therefore, she did not believe that Pierre was innocent.


    "Don''t be so decisive. I know that the boss of yourpany is not Luke but Bianca. Bianca hasn''t


    shown up for so long. Are you sure you want to help Luke?" Pierre asked.


    "Bianca''s husband is Luke and thepany is Bianca''s, which means that it''s Luke''s. Ourpany


    will never take on a case that might cause a dispute with T Corporation, so please leave." Nina rolled


    her eyes and cursed at Pierre in her heart.


    ‘Is he stupid? Can''t he understand what I''m saying?''


    She did not want to see this man for another second.


    Every time she met Pierre, she would get an ufortable and creepy feeling.


    Pierre listened to her ruthless words, stood up, and said, "I didn''t expect that you would be Luke''s


    b*tch. Do you think that Bianca will thank you for managing thispany? Let me tell you this. Right


    now, it''s uncertain whether Bianca is even still in this world."
