Chapter 1463 Is She Suspecting You?

Luca held her phone in her hand while she slept, in case someone took her phone away and read the messages inside. Any sound or vibration her phone made would wake her up.

She clenched her phone tightly when she felt the vibration, and she woke up to find that it was a message from Nina. Something must have happened to her if she sent a message so late in the night.

Luca immediately replied: [I'm not asleep yet. Why aren't you sleeping?]

Soon, she received a reply from Nina: [I can't sleep, and I want to find someone to chat with. Are you free now?]

Luca immediately sat up. After what happened at the exhibition, she was sure that Nina was unable to sleep because of Percy.

Knowing Nina's personality, she might have even talked about it with Percy. Luca guessed that the conversation did not go well.

Luca sent a reply: [Where are you now? Let's talk face to face]

Nina's heart warmed when she saw how quickly Luca replied to her messages. She would rather not trouble her, but she really needed a shoulder to lean on now.

She sent Luca the location of her hotel.

After receiving the location, Luca replied: [I'll go over now. Can you doa favor?]

[Alright, I'll order a cab for you.] Nina knew that Luca did not have a car. She opened theand ordered Luca a cab.

She would drive to pick Luca up from her apartment, if not that she had no strength in her legs. Luca replied: [OK]. Then got out of bed and changed her clothes.

She opened the bedroom door. The maid had left a nightlight on for her. Luca thought it was a good opportunity to test whether the maid was one of Luke's subordinates.

Luca walked out normally. She did not mask her footsteps.

Any one of Luke's subordinates would be very sensitive to sounds. They would know that Luca was awake.

Luca deliberately went around the living room twice, then headed toward the exit.

She had just placed her hand on the doorknob when she heard the maid behind her. "Are you going somewhere, Ms. Craw?"

Luca turned around, looked at the maid, and nodded. "Yes."

"It's so late at night. Where are you going?" The maid continued asking. She woke up when she heard the sounds in the living room earlier, and she had been keeping an eye on Luca.

Luca did not seem to be doing anything major, so she cout of her room to see.

"My friend is staying in a hotel alone now, and I'm worried about her. I'd like to accompany her,” Luca said.

"It's already so late. Why don't you go tomorrow morning?" The maid frowned and suggested.

It was not safe for Luca to go out so late at night. Moreover, there was the possibility that Luca was going out to carry out her master's orders. If the maid let Luca leave now, Luke might reprimand her for it.

"My friend is emotionally unstable. I have to go now," Luca said as she opened the door.

Seeing that Luca insisted on going out, the maid said, "It's not safe to go out so late at night. Why don't you wait forfor a while? I'll get changed and accompany you."

Luca looked at the maid with an ambiguous smile. "Are you worried about my safety, or are you worried about someone else's safety?"

The maid was taken aback. "I don't understand, Ms. Craw."

"Mr. Crawford knows who my friend is. If he blames you for anything or suspects anything, tell him to ask that friend of mine. I'm still on sick leave for the next two days, so I'll be staying in the hotel with her. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Luca said.

The maid did not expect that Luca would suspect her. In order not to blow her cover, she could only say, "Of course, there's no problem with that. I'll tell Mr. Crawford tomorrow morning. If you want to stay at the hotel, how about I pack up your clothes for you?"

"I've already packed up," Luca said while pointing at the bulging backpack on her back. Her phone rang. She looked at it and said, "That's all I have to say for now. The cab is already waiting fordownstairs. You should go and rest. If you don't want to report this to Mr. Crawford, I can let him know about it tomorrow morning. He won't blyou."

"Ah, alright..." the maid nodded.

Luca walked out of the apartment, closed the door, and calmly headed to the elevator.

From the exchange earlier, she could tell that the maid was one of Luke's subordinates.

After the maid watched her leave, she immediately gave a call to Luke, not caring that her call in the middle of the night would disturb his sleep.

After all, the matter concerned Luca. Luke would be angry if the maid reported it late to him.

Luke listened to what the maid had to say. Then, he said, "Has she discovered your identity?"

The maid hesitated. "I don't think so..."

"Continue with what you're doing. Report towhen she returns,” Luke said and ended the call. Even though the maid did not think so, Luke was sure that Luca had discovered the maid's real identity.

Luca was a smart person.

Meanwhile, Luca reached Nina's hotel. She felt sorry for her when she saw her sitting in the lobby waiting for her.

Luca immediately stepped up to her. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine,” Nina smiled weakly and said. She wanted to stand up, but she found it hard to move her legs. "Can you helpa little?"

"What happened?" Luca frowned but reached out anyway.

Nina grabbed her hand and stood up. She walked toward the elevator with wobbly steps.

"I'm drained," she said softly.

Luca could understand the implications of those words. She frowned and cursed Percy under her breath.

"Do you want to ride piggyback?" Luca asked.

"Nah, it's not that I can't walk. I'm only feeling a little weak. Just supportby my shoulder,” Nina smiled and pressed the button for the elevator.

"If you can't walk well, you should just let the front desk know that I'm coming. You don't have to call the way down to pickup.” Luca did not want to see her like that.

"At this hour, they'd rather be catching forty winks. I don't want to disturb them. I still have to stay here for the next few days anyway," Nina said. She was not going to be able to find a rental property that quickly, and she did not want to move in with her mother.

Luca helped her walk into the elevator.

Nina swiped the access card, pressed the button for her floor, then leaned limply against the elevator wall.

Luca, on the other hand, propped her up. When the elevator doors opened again, she helped her walk out.

In front of the room, Nina swiped the access card to unlock the door.

Luca helped her walk to the bed, then put her backpack down. "I brought sclothes over. Would you mind having a roommate for the next couple of days?"
