Female Novel
Chapter 1475
Of course, there was another kind of situation, which was Abel was trying to contact her.
The numbers they had been using to call each other were a bunch of messy codes. If Nina and Lukesaw such a thing, they would definitely suspect what kind of phone call it was. At the same time, therewas no need to unlock the screen to answer a call. What if they answered it…
When Luke saw her knowing that someone had been calling her but she was not in a hurry to checkher phone, he started to suspect something.
When a person knew they had missed calls, they would immediately check their phone to see who hadcalled. However, Luca did not do so.
Her expression was slightly unnatural as well.
Was she sick and confused, or was she afraid of something?
“Are you not taking a look at your phone?” Luke asked as he stared at her.
Luca snapped back to her senses and took her phone out of the bag. As she unlocked the screen, thenthere were indeed a few missed calls.
She was slightly relieved. This indicated that Luke and Nina had not answered her calls. She tapped onthe call log. All the calls shown were unanswered, and they were normal numbers.
Luca did not call them back. She reckoned these were cold calls. It was just that the moment she sawthere were no messy codes, she felt relieved.
Luke did not point it out when he noticed that she was clearly relieved.
It seemed like there were many secrets hidden in Luca’s phone. He intended to take a look at herphone when he got her bag, but considering that he did not know her phone’s passcode, he gave upchecking her phone.
Now with just one small expression, he was able to confirm that Luca was hiding something from him.
“Have you eaten dinner?” Luke asked.
“No.” Luca shook her head. She deleted the missed calls one by one. It was a habit of hers that nomatter who gave her a call, she would delete the call log after it, not leaving a trace behind.
It seemed like it was something that would be done by someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Itwas just her habit not to leave traces behind.
“Serve the oats,” Luke ordered the caretaker.
The caretaker nodded her head when she heard him. She hurriedly went to the kitchen to serve theoats.
“I’ve lost my appetite.” Luca could not only taste the blandness in her mouth now but there was also ahint of bitterness.
Luke replied, “Eat some even if you’re losing your appetite. The reason you got sick this time isbecause your body is too weak. Continue to take a few days of rest here. You may go to work nextMonday.”
Luca touched the gauze on her forehead. At first, she was supposed to go back to work this Friday.Now, it was postponed again…
The whole project had already been developed once before, so things could go on normally evenwithout her. Hence, Luke granted her leave as the progress would not be affected.
Luca thought that she had gotten enough rest. Besides, she was in this apartment now…
Luca accepted the oats that the nanny handed to her, and she took a sip of it. She thought for amoment and said, “Mr. Crawford, you have some personal connections in the police station. Do youmind helping me ask when I can get my identification card back?”
Luke shot her a glance. He did not answer her question and instead, he said, “This apartment is nowyour employee residence. You can stay as long as you want to. I’ll send someone to move my thingsaway.”
Luca felt uncertain when she heard that. It looked like he had decided to retain her here. Stayinganywhere was not a problem. After all, since it was part of Luke’s plan, even if she moved back to herapartment, her apartment would probably be installed with surveillance cameras when the time came.novelbin
It was the caretaker were to keep an eye on her for the whole day, it would be more frustrating thanhaving surveillance cameras.
She said, “Mr. Crawford, I appreciate the benefits that you’ve given me. I can accept this apartment, butI have a condition.”
Luke looked at her and shook his head. “What’s the condition?”
“I’m feeling much better now, so I don’t need a caretaker to take care of me. If you’re really planning tomake this apartment my employee accommodation, I hope you can bring this caretaker somewhereelse,” Luca replied.
The caretaker asked immediately when she heard her, “Ms. Craw, why? Am I lacking in any areas?”
Luca listened to her anxious tone. She could not be bothered being polite and interrupted Luca. Shewas worried that she would get blamed by Luke because of her incompetence.
He had always been a fairly strict person. If Luca suddenly said that she did not need a caretaker, thecaretaker would be punished.
“You’re good, but I’m used to being alone. I don’t need someone to look after me,” Luca answered.
The caretaker did not say anything more. She was too anxious just now, so she said something hastily.Even so, it was not considered impolite.
Luke nodded his head when he heard that and said, “Sure.”
When Luca saw him not saying anything else, she could not bear it and added, “It has nothing to dowith the caretaker. I’m just used to living alone.”
Luke found it interesting when she emphasized that again. Clearly, she had noticed that the caretakerwas here to keep an eye on her, but now, she was defending her.
She wanted to get rid of the caretaker but was also speaking up for her. Was Luca not afraid that Lukewould let the caretaker continue taking care of her?
If the death of the security guard was her plan of getting close to him, then why did she send somecondolence money to the security guard’s family after that?
Was she feeling guilty?
Luca was sort of interesting…
“Alright, pack up tomorrow and head to the suburban villa. You’ll be responsible for cleaning andlooking after the villa together with Isabel.” Luke arranged another job for the caretaker in front of them.
Luca let out a sigh of relief when she heard that.
That was nice of him for not blaming the caretaker.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford.” The caretaker nodded her head hurriedly. Since Luke arranged another job for herin front of Luca, it indicated that he did not blame her for this.
Luca must have noticed that she came to keep an eye on her under the cloak of taking care of her, soshe requested Luke to assign her away.
After all, a normal person would be overwhelmed with joy if there was a caretaker to take care of theirdaily life for free. How would they request to assign the caretaker somewhere else?
Luca finished the bowl of oats silently.
Luke picked up the bowl that she had finished eating and refilled it with oats.
Luca frowned when she saw it. “I can’t eat anymore.”
“Have one more bowl. There’s too much, don’t waste it.” Luke handed the bowl to her.
Luca had no choice but to accept it, forcing herself to eat slowly. Fortunately, it was just oats. Afterpicking out the bananas, she was able to eat the oats.
“Why are you not having the bananas?” Luke noticed she had left out all the bananas.
“I don’t feel like having it,” Luca replied.
“In terms of being picky with food, you’re kind of similar to Tommy.” Luke did not force her to finish allthe bananas. After all, it was normal for someone to lose their appetite after they had just recoveredfrom an illness.
“Pack your things up,” he said to the caretaker.
The caretaker, who had been watching them interacting with each other, snapped back to her senses.She nodded her head instantly and said, “Yes, Mr. Crawford.”
