In the afternoon, just before getting off work, Luca received a call from Amur.
"Amur, what's up?" Luca assumed that Amur called to ask about Abel's matter.
According to what Luke said, Abel had already arrived in A City by now.
When she entered the laboratory today, she did not put her phone on silent. She was afraid that she might miss Abel's call because she had a feeling that Abel would definitely cause trouble for her.
However, unexpectedly, Abel did not cause any trouble...
"Abel has arrived in A City. He calone. No one from X City followed him. Did he contact you?" asked Amur. Knowing that Abel would cto A City, he had been waiting at the airport in the afternoon, only to find out that Abel did not go to the base but to the hotel.
After he entered the hotel, he did not cout, nor did he contact Amur.
Therefore, Amur was worried that Abel chere this tto cause trouble for Luca. He reckoned Luca was about to get off work, and that was why he called her.
"He didn't contact me. Did he contact you?" Luca found it strange. Could it be that both she and Amur were wrong?
Did Abel not chere to cause trouble for her?
"No. If he's looking for you, callfirst," said Amur. He was worried about Luca.
"Alright, no problem," replied Luca. Abel was an enemy to them, and currently, he was an enemy they could not resist. Even though she did not want to see Amur get hurt for her sake, she also knew that they had to unite at this time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly by uniting could they have the strength to deal with Abel.
Luca planned to introduce Amur to Luke when the tcto deal with Abel. With Amur's help, their plan would surely succeed.
"I have another call coming in. I'll hang up first," said Luca. When she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard the sound of another call coming in on her phone.
"Okay." Amur ended the call.
Luca answered Nina's call. "Hey, Nina."
"Luca, are you free tomorrow? Percy and I are planning to invite you, Luke, and the kids to dinner as a token of appreciation,” asked Nina. If it were not for Luca taking her in voluntarily, she would have been worried and frightened for stime.
After all, Karen could appear at any time.
At that time, only the Crawford family could suppress Karen.
"Sure. We're all free," answered Luca. If Nina invited them to dinner, she would definitely go.
At the thought of Percy and Nina's wedding approaching, she thought about what she could do to help.
Even though she had a lot on her plate and many troubles to solve, she would be happy to help Nina at this moment.
"Then it's settled. I'll book the restaurant tomorrow and let you know," replied Nina. She wanted to cook a hearty meal to thank them, but considering her cooking skills, she thought better of it.
Even with Luca's recipes, she could not entertain guests. At most, she could occasionally let Percy taste her cooking when she felt inspired.
"Okay, thank you," thanked Luca.
"What are you thankingfor? I should be thanking you." Nina was sincerely expressing her gratitude. She recalled how Luca even prepared things like pajamas just to make her feel at home. With that, she had no reason or excuse to go back.
She knew Luca was worried about her, and that was why she prepared so much. Staying at Luke's place meant Karen would not cto cause trouble.
"We're friends, so there's no need for thanks. Oh, and by the way, Madam Mallory hasn't been bothering you since you went back, has she?" Luca asked with concern.
She wondered if Karen would clooking for them when she knew that Percy had returned.
"She shouldn't have tto bothernow," replied Nina. She heard these things from Percy.
"She has a lot to deal with now. Besides, Pierre has returned. She wouldn't dare to ctofor trouble anymore. And she needs to handle Pierre’s matter. I heard that Old Master Mallory is no longer involved with Pierre's treatment at the hospital, so it's all up to her now."
"Pierre?" Luca calculated the tsince Pierre's treatment began, thinking that his bones should be almost healed by now. He should be ready for sphysical therapy.
For instance, dry needling and electrical stimulation could help the damaged nerves heal faster.
"Yes." Nina could mention Pierre's nwithout the shatred as before. Although the law could not successfully punish Pierre, he got what he deserved.
What went around caround. It was true.
Pierre got what he deserved, and it was quite a miserable retribution.
After all, he was a prodigy, yet he suddenly becdisabled. He was probably unable to bear it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHence, Nina felt a bit relieved.
The harm Pierre caused her in the past had been repaid by fate.
At the thought of this, she found it pointless to continue hating Pierre.
As his nwas mentioned again, she could no longer feel any hatred in her heart.
"Well, if she doesn't have tto bother you, then it's all good." Luca smiled. Even though she was curious about Pierre's current condition and how crippled his leg was, she knew Nina would not know.
Nina would not even bother to find out how miserable Pierre was now. After all, she did not have much time. She was busy preparing to beca bride.
"Oh, by the way, Luca, I'll be getting married at the old apartment. Could you help decorate it a bit? Even though not many people will be attending from my side, I’d like to make the apartment a little more festive," said Nina.
She realized she did not have many hands to help.
She could not ask her colleagues at work for help, especially since everyone in the company was very busy. They only needed to attend her wedding. They still had to handle company matters, after all.
Moreover, although she was friendly with her colleagues, there was still a certain distance between them.
The people Nina could ask for help were indeed few.
"Sure, no problem," Luca readily agreed.
"That's great. Thank you," replied Nina.
"I'll bring a little helper with me, Rainie is really good at this kind of handicraft," suggested Luca, thinking that Rainie would be happy to help since the child loved such festive and lively occasions.
"Great. Gotta go now. Percy is here to pickup. See you tomorrow night," said Nina with a soft voice when she saw Percy standing at the door of her office. She left with him, arm in arm.
She was unable to conceal the sweetness in her smile amidst the gaze of the other employees in the company.
