Percy paused for a moment and continued, "What I''m trying to say is to let Nina stay over at your ce


    for the time being."


    Earlier, he received a call from the maid at the vi telling him that there were reporters outside the vi


    and she could not chase them away as they insisted on staying until they saw Nina.


    He had to stay in the office to settle this issue and could not return, but he could not do anything about


    this either as it involved Nina.


    "About this..." Luca felt troubled. "Are there many reporters at your vi? Why not have Nina stay at the


    previous apartment?"


    "She needspany now. That''s why I thought of this arrangement. Actually, she already knows about


    what''s going on between you and Luke, so you don''t have to worry too much about it," said Percy.


    Luca was speechless and wondered how Percy knew that she was staying together with Luke.


    However, when she thought about the rtionship Percy and Luke shared, it was possible that Luke


    had told Percy about it.


    Indeed, both Luca and Luke were innocent. Despite staying in the same house, they had never done


    anything intimate and had never crossed the line.


    However, after listening to what Percy said, it sounded like she and Luke shared some sort of deep


    rtionship.


    As Luca listened, she became helpless.

    "I''m just staying together with Luke. That''s all," she emphasized. "We''re like housemates."


    "I know. That''s why I''m asking you to look after Nina," Percy replied to her, but he was also teasing


    Luke inwardly. ''It seems that he still hasn''t won over Luca.''


    Luca was at a loss for words as she felt that Percy had a point, but before that.


    She felt that something was off. Even so, she had no choice but to agree. "Alright, no problem."


    "Thanks. After this issue is over, I''ll treat you to a meal." Percy seldom asked for favors from a woman,


    but when things were rted to Nina, he was willing to beg everyone all for Nina''s sake.


    "You don''t have to treat me to a meal. Just treat Nina well," said Luca. She did not wish for others to


    repay her. All she wanted was for them to treat their beloved ones well.


    "Alright," Percy answered. “Nina is my one true love. You don''t have to remind me about it, and I don''t


    have to promise other people either. I''ll definitely treat her well."


    Luca was relieved when she heard Percy''s statement.


    ''As long as Nina is happy.''


    After ending the call, Luca felt troubled. If she really brought Nina back to the vi, she would have to


    inform the owner of the vi...


    She got up and walked to the door of the office. She looked in the direction of Luke''s office.


    ''He''s probably still working..''


    Luca sent Nina a message: [Nina, do you want toe over to my ce for a meal?]


    [Sure, no problem. Send me your address and I''ll head over.] Nina knew that Luca had moved to


    another ce but she did not know the address.


    [I''m about to finish work. I''ll head over to pick you up.] After Luca was done texting, she ced her


    phone inside her pocket.


    After inviting Nina, the only thing left to do was to inform Luke of the arrangement.


    Luca walked toward Luke''s office, and coincidentally, Jason came out of the office.


    “Dr. Craw, are you looking for Luke?"


    Luca nodded. "Is Mr. Crawford inside?"


    "He''s inside. Just head on in," said Jason. He did not close the door of Luke''s office and headed


    straight back to his own office.


    Luca nced at the office door that was left open. She felt perturbed, not because she was about to


    meet Luke but because she had invited Nina over without seeking permission from him first. She was


    worried that the man would be dissatisfied with this.


    "Come in." Luke had overheard their conversation. After some time, he took the initiative to speak


    when he realized Luca had yet to enter.


    Luca entered. "Mr. Crawford, I have something that I''d like to discuss with you."


    "Regarding Nina?" Luke noticed she was feeling nervous and helpless. He was still the same man who


    loved her, but she seemed to not notice Luke''s love and affection for her.


    She was feeling so anxious just over this issue.


    Luca was surprised, thinking perhaps it was Percy who had spoken to Luke beforehand. Hence, she


    nodded her head. "Yes, I''m worried that Nina''s thoughts might go astray if she''s left alone. Hence, I


    hope she can stay at the vi in the meantime."


    "Sure." Luke agreed to it. What made him feel dissatisfied was not that there would be another woman


    staying in the vi but that Luca had to be so cautious when talking to him about this matter.


    He would have his guard up with anyone except Luca.


    However, it seemed she saw him in a certain light.


    Luca let out a breath of relief. ''It seems that Percy has spoken to him beforehand. After all, that vi


    belongs to Luke. It''s pointless if I''m the only one who agrees to it.''


    "Thanks, Mr. Crawford. If there''s nothing else, I''ll leave your office now," she said. She hadpleted


    her work, so she could leave the office.


    "I''ll be backte tonight. I''ll have to leave the kids to you," Luke said.


    Luca nodded as taking care of the kids was supposed to be her responsibility anyway. That reminder


    made her feel distant. She could not help but feel sad about it.


    After Luca left the office, she picked up the documents and immediately headed to Grace Bay.


    After picking up Nina, Luca nced at the surroundings and noticed there were no reporters around. ''It


    seems like even though the Johnstons are up to something, they still don''t dare to offend the Crawford


    family.''


    That was because the big shot behind Grace Bay was Luke. Hence, the Johnstons did not order the


    reporters to hound Nina here.


    It was already risky for them to offend the Mallory family, and if they were to offend the Crawford family


    as well, they would be in deep trouble.


    Luca understood the situation well, including how Nina managed to escape from those reporters.


    Nina entered the car and also nced at the surroundings before letting out a breath of relief. “Thank


    God they didn''t order those reporters toe here."


    "This is the Crawford family''s territory," Luca said before informing the driver the address of the vi.


    Nina heard it and eximed with widened eyes. "You''ve moved into a vi? It seems Mr. Crawford


    really treats you very well."


    Luca looked at the driver, who was in the driver''s seat, and said, "It''s an employee perk."


    "Not too bad." Nina smiled faintly and looked at the screen of her phone.


    She was paying close attention to Madison''s news but it had been quite some time since there were


    any reports about hertest condition.


    Although she had also gotten Johann to get insider news from the hospital, she only learned that


    Madison was currently receiving treatment. She was not informed of any other details.


    "Stop looking around. I''ll cook whatever you want to eat tonight," said Luca. she was trying to divert


    Nina''s attention with food.


    "Your cooking skills are impressive. Everything you cook is delicious, so I''ll leave it to you. I''ll love


    whatever you cook." Right now, her mind was fully upied with thoughts about Madison. She could


    not even think of what food she wanted to eat.


    Percy had sent her lots of messages today.


    However, she knew that he was handling the issues due to Madison attempting suicide by jumping off


    the building. They were both in a difficult situation now.


    There were lots ofizens criticizing Percy for betraying his rtionship with Madison, while others


    criticized her for being the third party who interfered in their rtionship.
