“I’m not up to anything bad, just trust me,” Luca said. “I want an outfit like the ones Ms. Louise used to
wear – stunning and sexy, always swaying around Mr. Abel.”
“Stunning and sexy, always swaying around Mr. Abel?” Kendra repeated, mulling it over.
Emmeline had plenty of clothes like that, all bought for her by Abel. But there was one particular wine-
red, diamond-encrusted fishtail dress that made her look absolutely enchanting.
Even Kendra herself couldn’t help but be amazed every time she saw Emmeline in that dress. With her
beauty and that outfit, Abel’s gaze was always full of doting affection as he chased after her.
He never let her out of his sight, not even for a second.
“I know which one,” Kendra said.
Luca’s face lit up.
Just then, his phone rang – the CEO’s office line.
“Damn it,” Luca groaned. “Kendra, please hurry up. Mr. Abel can’t find me.”
“Got it, got it,” Kendra said, holding Quincy in one hand and rummaging through a hundred outfits with
the other to find the wine-red fishtail dress.
Luca quickly answered the call.
“Luca, are you not in the company?” Abel’s voice was icy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mr. Abel,” Luca hesitated. “Uh, yeah.”
“‘Yeah’? What does that mean?” Abel furrowed his brows. “You’re not in the company, where did you
go?”
“I…” Luca thought for a moment and then had a sudden inspiration. “I just really missed Sam, so I
came to see her.”
Abel was taken aback. “Is that so?”
He didn’t think Luca had time for romance, considering how he followed him around all day.
Although he himself didn’t have a woman he liked, he couldn’t deny Luca’s right to pursue one.
But leaving without taking time off and causing a disturbance among the bodyguards was not a good
influence.
“Well, then,” Abel said. “Just come back soon.”
“Got it, got it,” Luca replied. “I’m almost done, I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay.” Abel hung up the phone.
Emmeline heard Luca’s voice clearly on the other end of the phone.
This guy, did he go after Sam?
He’s got some nerve, doesn’t he?
Emmeline quickly sent a discreet message to Sam.
“Did Luca come to see you?”
Sam replied with a surprised emoji: “Nope.”
Emmeline replied: “Oh, never mind.”
She deleted the message, thinking to herself that first Adrien had dark circles under his eyes, and now
Luca had disappeared.
And on top of that, he was lying.
It must be that Luca went to buy some medicine to help Adrien’s blood circulation and dispel stasis.
Now it was clear to her that Adrien’s panda eyes were caused by Luca’s punch.
But why did Luca hit him in the first place?
This guy really had some guts!
Finally, Kendra found the wine-red fishtail dress from the layers of clothes.
“Luca, it’s this one. Ms. Emmeline used to wear it around Mr. Abel a lot,” Kendra said.
Luca grabbed it without hesitation.
“I’ll wrap it for you. It’ll be a shame if it gets dirty,” Kendra offered.
“No need, no need. I’m in a hurry,” Luca stuffed the fishtail dress into his arms and grabbed the car
keys before running out.
As he started the car and drove out of the villa gate, Luca dialed Adrien’s number.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Adrien, we found the dress. The rest is up to you,” he said over the phone.
“Alright then,” Adrien said. “I’ve already made plans to meet Abel at the Majestic Bar.”
“Okay,” Luca replied. “Thanks for letting me know, but who should I give the dress to?”
“I’ll intercept you on the way,” Adrien said. “Just hand it over to me.”
“Got it,” Luca said. “I’ll be driving my black Land Rover, keep an eye out.”
“I will,” Adrien assured him. “I’ll still be the Rolls Royce Wraith, so be careful not to miss me.”
“I know,” Luca said. “As soon as I see you, I’ll veer towards the curb and you can follow me.”
“Alright then, it’s settled!”
The two of them hung up the phone.
The two luxury cars raced towards each other on the road.
Less than ten minutes later, the two men spotted their target up ahead.
Luca turned the wheel and drove along the road until he found a place to park, pulling over to the side
of the road and turning on his hazard lights.
Adrien’s car also turned at the intersection up ahead and followed the road to Luca’s location.
Behind the black Land Rover was a Rolls Royce Wraith, and Adrien stepped out of the driver’s seat to
approach Luca.
Luca rolled down his car window.
“Where’s the clothing?”
