Female Novel
Chapter 1435
The next morning, when Luca prepared to go to work, she saw Nina’s car parked in front of herapartment.
She was sensitive with numbers, so she remembered Nina’s license plate. She walked up to the carand knocked on the window.
Nina rolled the window down. When she saw that it was Luca, she unlocked the car doors. “Goodmorning, Dr. Craw. I’m going to T Corporation to give my quarterly report, so I’m wondering if you wantto hitch a ride.”
Luca did not reject the offer. She nodded, went to the other side of the car, and sat inside.
After Luca fastened her seatbelt, Nina started the car and drove toward T Corporation.
“Are you worried about something?” Luca asked.
Nina brushed her hair and said awkwardly, “You noticed it?”
“I can see that you were thinking about something. If I hadn’t recognized your license plate, youprobably wouldn’t have realized that I left the apartment,” Luca said. She knew that Nina was waitingfor her, but Nina did not realize Luca was outside. That was why Luca thought that Nina’s mind wasoccupied with something.
Nina sighed and said, “I’m worried about you. That useless brother of mine seems to have set hissights on you. I didn’t lie to you when I said that I have to go to T Corporation to hand in my quarterlyreport, but I’m also worried that he might stalk you. That’s why I waited for you here, and I can give youa ride too.”
Yesterday, she had received a call from the care worker.
After Nina left, Anna and Jean discussed how to trick Nina so that they could obtain Luca’s phonenumber and address. The care worker was employed by Nina, so she had the obligation to tell heremployer what was going on.
“Don’t worry,” Luca said. She knew that Nina was concerned about her.
“Sigh, you probably don’t know that my brother isn’t an honest person. He has friends who can find outwhere you live if they want. If he hasn’t changed, I’m genuinely worried about you,” Nina said worriedly.None of that would have happened if she had not offered to send Luca home.
It would be very troublesome for Luca if Jean set his sights on her.
Jean was generally useless, but he had friends who were gangsters. Most of his money was spent onthose people, and Jean had always said that he was “exploring career opportunities.”
Those people were up to no good. If Jean asked for their help to find out where Luca lived, they woulddefinitely succeed, and Luca would suffer.
“Thanks for telling me. I’ll keep an eye on things.” Luca could tell that Nina was concerned about hersafety.
Nina continued, “Also, if he managed to harass you, you must let me know. I’ll help you wherever Ican.”
Luca smiled and nodded.
“You didn’t sleep well last night, right?” She asked.
Nina was taken aback, though she admitted it. “Yes, I didn’t sleep well. I can’t stop thinking that mymom needs another liver transplant.”
“Why? Who was her donor the first time?” Luca knew the answer to the question, but she had topretend that she did not know.
“My brother was the donor. Back then, my mom didn’t agree to the donation, and she said that shewanted to find a liver on the black market. Eventually, my brother managed to persuade her to acceptthe donation, and that was how they could proceed with the operation so quickly,” Nina said.
Luca nodded. Nina continued, “To be frank, my brother didn’t donate the liver because he wanted tosave our mother. Instead, he could have his sentence reduced if he agreed to the operation. My brotherwas sent to prison because of a crime he committed, and he’d rather lose half of his liver just so that hecould get out early. You must find my family very ridiculous.”
When Luca heard that, she had the urge to give Nina a hug.
Luca shook her head and tried to say some words of comfort, but Nina continued, “It’s been so manyyears, and I’m already used to it.”
Luca could see the sorrow on her face. Was she really used to it?
If she had already gotten numb from how her family treated her, she would not look so sorrowful…
Nina parked the car at the T Corporation basement parking lot. When she was about to get out of thecar, she noticed the car parked opposite hers.
“That car…” She frowned.
“What’s wrong?” Luca looked in the direction of Nina’s gaze.
“It belongs to Tia…” Nina remembered the car clearly. She had visited Bianca when Bianca had justbeen discharged from the hospital. Nina remembered seeing Tia come out of that car.
The car was a limited edition car that Nina had read about in a magazine. After knowing that Tia ownedone of those cars, Nina had wondered why a psychologist could afford that luxury car, and she hadgossiped with Sue about it.
Tia had not changed her car since then.
Luca raised her eyebrows as she looked at the car.
“Did you read the tabloids two days ago? Tia is the rumored mistress of Mr. Crawford,” Nina explained.She thought that Luca did not know who Tia was.
Luca nodded.
Nina rubbed her chin and mumbled to herself, “Why would she be at T Corporation so early? Isn’t Beatraveling overseas now? There shouldn’t be any need for her services.”novelbin
Luca hugged her handbag. She felt uneasy when she heard Nina’s words.

Even though she was mentally prepared that Luke might eventually fall in love with another woman,she could not help but be disappointed when that thought became a reality.
“Nina, I’m going upstairs to clock in,” she said.
“Mm. Let’s go together. I need to go to look for Mr. Crawford.” Nina turned her gaze away from the carand went to the elevator lobby with Luca.
Luca exited the elevator on the twelfth floor while Nina continued to ride upward to the CEO’s office.
Just as usual, she met Jason and told him that she was at T Corporation to deliver the quarterly report.
Jason led her to the CEO’s office.
When Nina heard that Jason was going to bring her to the CEO’s office, she was quite surprised. “Isn’tthere another guest in Mr. Crawford’s office now?”
Jason turned around and looked at her. “How do you know, Ms. Langdon?”
“I saw Ms. Tia’s car in the parking lot. She should be in Mr. Crawford’s office now, right?” Nina asked.
“Yes, but it’s nothing important, Ms. Langdon. Mr. Crawford told me to bring you to his office once youarrive,” Jason said.
Nina was not used to Jason calling her “Ms. Langdon.” She waved her hand and said, “There’s no oneelse here. You can just call me Nina. ‘Ms. Langdon’ is so awkward.”
Jason smiled but said nothing.
Nina could not help but ask, “What’s going on between him and Tia?”
