Luke was disdainful because of Luca''s interaction with Jean.


    Rain saw everything clearly, and she reported to Luke without missing a single detail.


    That was why his expression was ugly.


    Luca sat up straight and put on her seatbelt.


    "You don''t have anything to say?" Luke asked.


    Luca wondered what was there to say. ‘Am I supposed to tell him what I discovered?''

    She nodded and said quickly, "After talking to Jean, I''m sure that Nina is in Pierre''s hands and she


    shouldn''t be in any danger now. We can focus on investigating Pierre. We can start with—”


    Luke interrupted her and said coldly, "Rains is aware of all that you mentioned. She''s taking action


    now."


    Luca was astounded, nodded, and said in a neutral tone, "Oh."


    Luke was infuriated when he thought of how Jean took advantage of Luca. He stopped talking, stepped


    on the elerator, and drove off.


    Luca could tell that he was speeding and pursed her lips. Even if he did not say anything, she could tell


    that he was fuming.


    When Luke was angry, it was best not to say anything. What was more, she was not Bianca. She was


    just an employee of his. It did not seem right if she tried tofort him.


    The green light ahead turned red. Luke mmed on the brakes so hard that he almost rushed past the


    zebra crossing.


    Luca frowned. If he had not stepped on the brakes in time, the consequences would have been


    unimaginable...


    "Mr. Crawford, what''s the matter with you?" she asked.


    Luke''s expression was cold. ‘She''s asking me what''s the matter?!''


    She was Bianca, so, of course, she knew what was wrong with him.


    Luke wanted to uncover the truth and asked her if she had lost interest in him. However, his past


    experience told him that Luca''s estrangement was ast resort and she still had strong feelings toward


    him.


    "I''m fine." Luke turned his face away to look at the red light.


    "Can you drive slower? I drank a little too much and my stomach is not feeling the best," Luca said


    pitifully. Her stomach was churning as Luke was driving so fast.


    She had taken the drug so she would not get drunk. However, she felt sick since the liquor in her


    stomach had not been discharged. Nausea came in waves.


    Luke was stunned. He was trying to vent his unhappiness but forgot that she had been drinking.


    "Mm." His reply was stiff.


    Luca closed her eyes. He was driving very fast just now and the ride was a little bumpy. She did not


    want to talk anymore as she felt that the booze in her stomach woulde out as soon as she spoke.


    Luke felt pity at how distressed she looked, and his anger gradually decreased.


    The reason why she did all of that was because of Nina. She was a kind person, so she would do her


    best to help when Nina encountered a situation as such.


    Therefore, he should give her his full understanding and tolerance.


    The red light turned green. Luke did not drive as crazily as before. It was a smooth ride, and they


    arrived at the apartment safely.


    "We''re here." He reminded her softly as he looked at the woman resting on the chair with her eyes


    closed.


    Luca was sensitive toward his mood changes and knew that he was no longer fuming.


    She opened her eyes, unbuckled her seat belt, and said to him, "Mr. Crawford, thank you for sending


    me back."


    Luke nodded, unbuckled his seat belt, and said, "You''re wee. It''s on the way, anyway."


    Luca watched him open his car door, the implication being that he would sleep at her ce that night...


    She had no intentions of stopping him either.


    Luca opened the car door and the two walked into the apartment building together. When they reached


    their floor, she opened the door and turned on the lights.


    Luke walked straight to the maid''s room like it was his room.


    Luca retracted her gaze. She had too much to drink and her stomach was still feeling ufortable.


    She went into the kitchen and made herself a ss of honey water.


    The honey water was sweet and light. She sat on the sofa and tasted it slowly. Luke came out, saw her


    drinking, and asked, "What are you drinking?"


    "Honey water," Luca said, "Would you like to have some?"


    "No," Luke was not a fan of honey water. He sat on the sofa and looked at Luca.


    Luca felt a little awkward being stared at by him. She turned to look at him and asked, "Mr. Crawford, is


    there something on my face?"


    "How much did you drink?" Luke asked.


    "Not a lot..." Luca said.


    "Rain has been keeping an eye on you." Luke reminded her to tell the truth. Rain had counted exactly


    how many sses she drank.


    Luca was stunned and had to exin herself, "I forgot how much I drank. I just know that I drank a little


    too much. After all, Jean is such a cunning person, if he doesn''t drink enough, I can''t manipte him to


    tell me the truth..."


    Luke looked at how calm she was as she exined herself. He knew that Luca did not like to drink. If it


    were not for Nina, she would not have drank so much...


    "Mr. Crawford, the cocktails are nothing to me...I took the drug to help me," Luca exined, not wanting


    to worry him too much.


    "Your drug does work, but your stomach is hurting too," Luke said. Luca''s drug was able to keep one''s


    brain alert without being affected even after ingesting a lot of alcohol.


    However, the concentration of alcohol in the blood would not decrease because of the drug.


    The alcohol she drank still needed to be excreted through the metabolism of the human body.


    Luca finished the honey water and put down the ss. "I haven''t had a drink in a long time, so my


    stomach can''t take it. I''ll be fine after drinking something sweet."


    "If you''re not feeling well, don''t act like you are. I''ve made an appointment with Johann. I can take you


    to the hospital at any time for an IV drip." Luke had already made arrangements.


    Luca was surprised. She did not expect him to trouble Johann just because she drank a little too much.


    She touched her head, feeling embarrassed. She nodded and agreed. "Okay."


    Luke looked at her blushing face. He resisted the urge to pull her into his arms and stood up. He


    walked into the bathroom with a fresh set of clothes.


    Luca listened to the sound of the water in the bathroom and touched her hot face. ‘It must be the


    alcohol. I''m not tempted...''


    She stood up, put the cup back in the kitchen, and walked straight back to the bedroom.


    After she cleaned herself up quickly, Lucay on the bed but could not fall asleep...


    All she could think about was Luke.


    His concern for her was not fake; it was real. It made it difficult for her to fall asleep...


    ''Should I execute Abel''smand?''


    If she wanted to go ahead with it, she was presented with a good opportunity. Even if she was reluctant


    to admit it, Luke''s concern for her was not fake. He only had eyes for her.


    However, she did not want to hurt him...


    Luca turned around, and her bedroom door was opened.


    She immediately turned on the bedsidemp and sat up. She looked at Luke, who was standing by the


    door, and said in surprise, "Mr. Crawford?"


    Luke looked at Luca, who did not look at all sleepy. He asked in a low voice, "You''re awake?”


    "I justid down and I''m ready for bed." Luca could not fall asleep but lied to him anyway.
