Female Novel
Chapter 1740
Jean took a sip of his cocktail and was in a good mood because he finally had a chance to get closer toLuca. "Yeah, she's still in A City."
"I'm happy to hear that she's fine." Luca acted relieved.
The drinks were getting to his head. Jean looked at Luca with eyes full of fascination.
Luca was beautiful. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. All the conditions at thatmoment were excellent, so he knew he had to grasp the opportunity. "Come, cheers!"
Jean ordered another cocktail for her. Although his plan was deplorable, he had to do it to win overLuca. If he had some blackmail material, someone like Luca would have to obey him.
Luca took a sip of the cocktail.
Jean was satisfied. He was surprised at how submissive she was.
"Don't stress about it. Nina is not a child. She's fine. There's nothing to worry about." He comforted her.
Luca looked at Jean. He made it seem as though he knew everything about Nina. She felt confidentand held her chin.
The move was a signal for Rain to indicate that she was almost done and could retreat at any time.
Rain whispered, "Got it."
At that moment, Jean noticed that Luca had been wearing earphones, so he asked curiously, "Luca,why do you have earphones on?"
"Oh, my earphones? I wore it at work and forgot to take it off," Luca explained with a smile but had nointention of taking it off. She raised her glass and changed the subject. "Thank you for telling me about
Nina. I can't get in touch with her right now, so I'll need to trouble you to help me get in touch with herlater."
"No problem." Jean agreed. Even though he knew he could not get in touch with Nina, he needed tohave a grasp over Luca.
Luca continued to drink with him. No matter how well Jean could drink, he was no match for Luca, whohad taken the special drug. After three rounds of drinking, he was already drunk.
"Luca, you're so beautiful."
Luca listened to his compliment, smiled, and pretended to be drunk. "I can't drink anymore. That's it forme tonight." "I'm also there. I didn't expect you to be so good at drinking. You're not bad. You can evencompete with me." Jean burped, called for the waiter, and then handed over his credit card to settle thebill.
Luca looked at Jean's bright red face and felt a lot of emotions in her heart. After all these years, hisrotten roots had not been eradicated.
He said that he liked her, but in the end, all he had in his mind were dirty thoughts...
"I've been in Russia where it's a norm to drink. That's where I trained myself to drink," Luca explainedas she took her last sip.
Jean smiled and raised his thumb in praise. "Impressive. You're the only woman I know who can drinkas much as me. You deserve to be admired by me."
After he finished speaking, Luca fell on the table and pretended to pass out.novelbin
She did not want to hear what Jean said nor did she want to respond to it.
Jean shook her arm. "Luca? Are you drunk?"
Luca closed her eyes, motionless.
Jean muttered to himself, "Looks like she's drunk. That's good. I'll get a room in the hotel above. If youdon't mind, I'll bring you up."
Luca kept quiet.
Jean took her silence as consent. After all, that was what he wanted as well.
The waiter returned with the bill and his credit card. After he settled the bill, Jean staggered over andtried to carry Luca.
At that time, Rain pretended to walk past and took a look.
"Dr. Craw?" she said.
Jean looked at the woman next to him and asked, "Who are you?"
Rain ignored him and stepped forward to pretend to confirm Luca's identity. "It's really you, Dr. Craw!
Why are you so drunk? Dr. Craw, I'll take you home."
As soon as Jean heard that, he knew that his plan to roll in the hay with Luca was about to beintercepted. He quickly blocked Luca from Rain and shouted, "Who are you? Does she know you? Whydo you want to take her away?"
"I'm her subordinate. Who are you?" Rain asked. She glanced at the messy table and said, "You got Dr.Craw drunk, right? What's your intention of getting her drunk?!"
There were not many people in the bar and because Rain's voice was very loud, many suddenlylooked at them.
Jean's face was flushed after drinking. He felt like he was losing his reputation in front of the crowd. Heexplained, "I am also friends with Luca and we bumped into each other tonight. What's wrong with twofriends catching up over drinks?"
"I don't think your intentions tonight are just to drink with her. I heard that you want to take her to thehotel upstairs? Take a good look at yourself! You want to bag Dr. Craw?!" Rain replied. Although thebar was not high-class, it was obvious that there was a certain difference in status between Jean andLuca.
Jean was dumbfounded by her words. He was about to ask the waiter to help prove that Luca wasdrinking with him voluntarily when Rain picked up the drunk Luca.
"What are you doing?" Jean asked quickly.
"Dr. Craw is drunk, so, of course, I'm going to take her home. I can't leave her here with a toad likeyou," Rain said. She then picked up Luca's arm and intended to leave.
Jean hurriedly positioned himself in front of her. "Luca was drinking with me. I should be the onesending her back."
"Nice try. Do you think I don't know what you want to do to her?" Rain said and left with Luca.
Jean glanced at Luca and got anxious. He threw all caution to the wind and made a move.
Rain looked at his raised hand, blocked it, and held his hand with a backhand.
Jean felt pain and shouted, "Ah, ah, let go of me!"
"Good-for-nothing." Rain let go. She snorted coldly when she saw Jean's hands swell up. "Someone ofyour caliber wants to take advantage of Dr. Craw? Get out of my way!"
Jean had experienced her arm strength and dared not stop her anymore.
Even if he wanted to do something to Luca, he did not dare to provoke the woman in front of him.
Rain took Luca out of the bar without any hiccups.
Luca wanted to stand up straight after they left the bar but Rain reminded her. "Dr. Craw, don't move.
That man is still watching from behind."
Luca did not dare to move when she heard that.
Rain helped Luca to cross the road, then opened the door to Luke's car and put her in the passengerseat.
Luca felt like something was wrong. She opened her eyes, saw Luke, and was stunned. "Mr. Crawford,why are you here?"
Rain replied on his behalf, "Boss was worried about you facing that man wh*re alone, so he's beenwaiting. He parked his car here and has been waiting for you since you went into the first bar."
Luke listened to Rain explaining the situation cheekily and said with a cold expression, "Enough withthe tittle-tattle."
"Sorry, Boss. I'll make a move now. I have something to do." Rain closed the car door with a smile onher face. Even though Luke seemed bitter, she knew that his bad mood had nothing to do with her.
