Female Novel
Chapter 2613
The hotel doorman was being careful. After he asked for Luca's name and made sure that her namewas on the guest list, he enthusiastically brought her upstairs.
The doormoon pushed the door open when they arrived at the private room, “Ms. Craw, you cameearly. Please take a rest first."
Luca frowned and asked, "No one's here yet?"
"Yes. You're the first to arrive," replied the doorman.
Luca nodded. If she had known she would be the first to arrive, she would not have left the office soearly.
Luca walked into the room.
A waiter immediately entered the room to serve a fruit plate and pour Luca a glass of water. Theservice provided was swift and attentive.
"Miss, may I know if you need anything else?" asked the waiter in a soft voice.
"I'm fine. Thank you." Luca shook her head. The waiter's attitude was friendly and she was simply notused to it.
Luca had experienced all kinds of hospitality when she accompanied Luke in the past.
Now however, it had been a long time since she had stepped into the social circle of the upper class.
The warm hospitality was no longer familiar.
Still, it was fine. Her past experiences allowed her to take things in stride.
"Okay. Just ring the bell if you need anything." The waiter pushed the door open and exited the room.
Luca was then left alone in the private room.
She counted the chairs. There were a total of six chairs.
There would be Percy and Nina, Luke and her, then the rest of the chairs should be for Jim andScarlett.
Luca picked up her phone and began to scroll the news on the online forum.
The decision of the shareholders' meeting had been announced by Mallory Corporation. Manyinvestors and netizens were optimistic about it, but at the same time, they were slandering Pierre.
Some of were even discussing how the people from the Department of Justice and the police officerswere looking for Pierre now, but Pierre had yet to show up. It seemed like he was trying to escape.
Luca raised her brows. Would Pierre run away?
Pierre was a cunning man. It was unlikely that he would just try to escape. He was probably trying toput it off and figure out a way to deal with it.
The people who helped him to handle these problems were from the Mallory family.
The Mallory family would not sit and watch Pierre him sent to prison without doing anything to stop it.They could not afford the shame.
Luca continued to scroll through the news. After a while, the door was pushed open by the waiter. "Mr.and Mrs. Mallory, this way."
Nina and Percy walked into the room, hand in hand. She saw Luca and smiled, “Luca, you're here.”
“Yes. Congratulations, Mr. Mallory.” Luca rose to her feet and congratulated Percy.
Percy kept his job in Mallory Corporation and successfully registered for marriage with Nina. It was twosimultaneous happy events to him indeed.
Percy gave her a faint smile and nodded. "Thank you. Let's sit down."
Luca sat down again.
The waiter pulled out two chairs for them. Nina turned sideways and said to Percy, “I'd like to have achat with Luca."
“Okay. Then I'll go outside to return a call,” replied Percy. He then turned around and walked out of theprivate room.
Nina pulled out the chair beside Luca and sat down. She apologized, “You must have waited for a longtime, right?”
“No. I just arrived here not long ago.” Luca noticed that Nina was wearing another ring on her finger.Then, she asked, “When are the two of you planning to hold the wedding ceremony?”
“How did you know about that...” Nina trailed off.
“You're wearing your engagement ring and wedding ring on your fingers. How can I not know that?”Luca winked at her to hint that she saw the two big rings on her fingers.
The size of the diamond ring Percy chose was big, but it was modern and stylish. It looked beautiful onNina's long fingers.
“He gave me the ring yesterday. He told me that I'd have to wear it if he's still sitting in that position,and I agreed to do so,” explained Nina.novelbin
Nina did not go to Brilliant today, but she followed Percy to Mallory Corporation. When he wasattending the shareholders' meeting downstairs, she was watching the live broadcast upstairs.
Nina immediately put on the ring after the result was announced.
“That's great!” exclaimed Luca. It had been so many years and Nina was finally living a happy life.
“We're planning to wait until it's warmer, and only then we'll hold the wedding ceremony. Perhaps twomonths later, when the spring comes and flowers bloom. I won't feel cold even if I'm wearing thewedding dress,” Nina told Luca about Percy and her plans.
As for the wedding ceremony, Percy was hoping that they could make it sooner. The sooner, the better.He could not wait to see how beautiful Nina would look in her wedding dress.
However, to make it perfect, they would need time to prepare. The weather would be perfect for thewedding ceremony in two month. It would be warm and flowers would be blooming. Nina could put onher beautiful wedding dress and hold their wedding ceremony on a sunny day.
“Two months later sounds great. It'll be warmer then." nodded Luca.
Nina elapsed Luca's hands in hers and asked, "Would you be able to come? To be my bridesmaid."
Luca was startled for a moment. She thought Nina never let her guard down. After all, she was closerto her when she was still Bianca.
She did not expect Nina to ask her to be her bridesmaid.
It would be in two months...
Luca had no idea if she would still be in A City.
"What's the matter? You can't make it?" asked Nina again when Luca remained silent.
Luca shook her head and smiled. "Okay. No problem. I'll be your bridesmaid. It's just that I'm notfamiliar with the wedding ceremony procedures here.."
"It's not a big deal. We'll have rehearsals before the wedding." Nina smiled sweetly when Lucapromised to be her bridesmaid.
Even though she had only known Luca for a short time, she wanted Luca to witness her happymoments.
"Oh yes, I've been taking herbal medicine these days. Can you help me to check my pulse? See ifthere are any changes to it?" asked Nina.
"Did you feel uncomfortable after taking the medicine?" asked Luca. She took the initiative to roll upNina's sleeves and rested her fingers on her pulse.
Nina shook her head and replied, "No. I felt great after taking the medicine. I didn't feel unwell either.Besides, I've been sleeping well lately. You know that I won't be able to sleep well when Percy'smatters aren't settled yet. But I was able to sleep well at night after taking the medicine you prescribed.I could breathe well."
Luca nodded silently. She checked Nina's pulse attentively.
After a while, she switched to check Nina's other hand.
After that, Luca said, "You're doing great. Your condition is much better than the last time I checkedyour pulse. You're not that weak anymore, but you'll have to continue to nurse your health and takeherbal medicine until you've held your wedding ceremony. That's when you can stop taking it andprepare to get pregnant."
"Really?" Nina's eyes brightened when she heard that she would be able to prepare to get pregnantsoon. She loved children, and she hoped that she could have a baby with Percy.
After Percy and Nina told each other how they felt for each other, Nina would still feel depressed forsome time. She was mainly concerned about her past and if it would affect her from getting pregnant.
It set Nina's mind at ease when she heard Luca say that.
Her dream of having a baby with Percy would soon come true.
"Yes. Let's see. Getting pregnant during the spring season, and giving birth during the winter. The babywill be able to learn how to walk around next year's autumn. I heard that babies who are born duringwinter are fast learners. They can learn how to walk real fast." Luca was planning for her.
