Female Novel
Chapter 2227
Right after Jason left the secretary room, the ladies started gossiping.
Cheryl could not help herself and said, "Mr. Marcos is so nice. They just entertained them for a fewdays at the boss' order and he invited them for supper? I wonder where they'll go?"
Secretary A immediately continued talking, "The other party is Mr. Marcos. They must be going to ahigh-end restaurant. Tina is so beautiful. Maybe he wants to confess to her by using the excuse ofsupper. Imagine if he showed up with flowers and wine! God, she's so lucky."
Cheryl glared at Secretary A. "You're thinking too much. Who would confess to someone duringsupper? You're watching too many drama series."
Secretary A was annoyed. 'Didn't she start it?'
She looked at Tina and said, "It's hard to say, after all. Mr. Marcos is a busy man. It's possible that hewould invite Tina for supper to confess to her. Besides, Mr. Marcos has been here for a while. Maybehe doesn't want to leave any regrets before he has to leave..."
Tina lowered her head to process the documents. She felt helpless and speechless when she heardthat they had made up some story.
'We're all Luke's secretaries. Why are they acting like brainless women?'
"Didn't you hear that Mr. Marcos invited the boss and Dr. Craw as well?" She could not help butinterrupt their imagination.
Secretary A was stunned.
Tina sounded quite angry, so Secretary A said quickly, "Tina, don't mind us. I didn't think too muchabout it when I said what I said."
"If you're free, why don't you go to Mr. Doyle's office and see if there are any other documents thatneed to be processed?" Tina frowned as all the others knew was to gossip about her.
She had nothing that they needed to be jealous of... They ignored the fact that Luke and Luca werealso invited. Their gossip was a bad influence on the others...
Tina's words made Secretary A shut up.
Cheryl sneered.
Tina pretended not to hear that. She did not bother to pay any attention to Cheryl and walked out of thesecretaries' office with her mug.
When Cheryl saw that, she said to Secretary A, "Moving forward, you need to be careful with yourwords. She's acting like that because she's interacted with Marcos. Marcos' company is working withours. She'll only bully us further, so act smart. Don't say anything that shouldn't be said. She wants toact innocent, so let her be."
Secretary A pursed her lips. ‘Cheryl was the one that started it. Why was I scolded?'
Sure enough, juniors were the ones who had to take all the blame.
Secretary B could not help but say, "No way. I think Tina is nice."
Cheryl rolled her eyes at her. She could not stand it when someone said something nice about Tina."How long have you worked here? Don't be fooled by her appearance."
After she said that, everyone in the secretaries' office kept silent.
After work hours.
Luca sat in Warren's car and returned to the villa.
She was surrounded by the children as usual. She did not see Nina in the living room so she asked thekids, "Where's Aunt Nina?"
"Aunt Nina is upstairs," Rainie said.
"Uncle Percy called her and she didn't want us to listen, so she went upstairs," Tommy added.
Luca nodded. She guessed that Nina had something private to talk to Percy about, so she wentupstairs.
She put her briefcase aside and said, "I'll be in the kitchen. Do your homework here. Don't cause anytrouble."
"Okay, Ms. Luca." The three children agreed.
Luca went into the kitchen to cook.
With her help, Aunt Neile quickly had dinner ready when Luke was back.
The two worked together to bring the dishes to the table.
When she noticed that Nina was not downstairs yet, Luca said to Rainie, "Rainie, go upstairs and tellAunt Nina that it's time for dinner."
"Okay." Rainie obediently walked out of the dining room and headed upstairs.
After she got on the second floor, Rainie saw Nina sitting on the sofa in the living room, video chattingwith Percy.
She said, "Aunt Nina, it's time for dinner. Let's go downstairs to eat. After dinner, you can continuechatting with Uncle Percy."
Nina blushed. Although Rainie did not hear what Percy said to her, she became shy. She glared at theperson on the other side of the video call and said, "It's all your fault that Rainie needs to come get mefor dinner."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. It's because I miss you too much," Percy said dotingly.
Nina immediately looked at Rainie.
The little girl had covered her ears to show that she was not eavesdropping.
"Okay, you cheeky man. I'll head off for dinner now," Nina said shyly.
"Okay, let's talk after dinner." After Percy finished speaking, Nina hung up the call.
She stood up and took Rainie's hand. "Let's go and have some dinner, shall we?"
Rainie nodded, followed her, and asked curiously, "Aunt Nina, do adults say such silly things when theyare in love?"
Nina's cheeks turned even redder...
Although Rainie was still a child, Luke's kids would never be stupid.
Nina looked at Rainie's curious eyes and had no choice but to bite the bullet. She said, "I guess so...Sweet words are like desserts. They make the heart feel warm. The sweet taste fills the stomach. Thinkabout it, if the heart is warmed, won't it improve the relationship between two people?"
"Yes, I get it now. Thank you, Aunt Nina." Rainie did not continue to ask further questions butremembered Nina's every word.
After they arrived downstairs, the two sat down.
Luca handed the soup bowl to them and said, "Have some soup first."
"Thank you, thank you. I'll help myself." Nina was embarrassed.
After all, she was a guest. She did not think it was appropriate to have Rainie come get her and Luca toserve her.
Luke took a sip of the soup. "Did you talk to Percy just now?"
"Yes, I'm his fiancee. Isn't it normal to call him?" Nina said with a hint of provocation in her tone.
When she talked to Percy, she tried to understand why he was standing on Luca's side.
However, Percy said that it was Luca and Luke's matter, so even if she was curious, he could not tellher. She should hear it from them when they were ready.
Nina was speechless.
Luke ignored her provocation and asked, "When will Percy be back?"
"I don't know. He only told me to wait for him here to come back." Nina spoke louder when she said thewords.
Luke raised his eyebrows and said indifferently. "That's great. Please watch the kids tonight."novelbin
Nina glanced at the kids. She was fine taking care of the kids, but Luke's order made her feel like beingrebellious. "Aren't they your children?"
