Female Novel
Chapter 1589
'Go to the office together?'
Luca thought of the gossip that she caused when she first joined the company and immediately shookher head to turn him down. "Mr. Crawford, I'll go to work by myself."
Luke did not say anything and left with Tommy when he saw that she insisted on going to work byherself.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she had the illusion that Luke's gaze when he lookedat her had become warm.
She thought of how he had always been stern and domineering but he did not insist that she tag alongthis time. She was a little unaccustomed to it.
Luca looked at the time and slowly walked out the door after she thought that Luke had already left.
She woke up early and had breakfast earlier than she usually would, so she was not worried aboutbeing late. She took her time and walked slowly.
Luca walked out of the front gate and saw a Hummer parked on the side of the road. It was veryostentatious.
There were many rich and famous people in A City, so it did not surprise her. When everyone waspaying attention to the modified Hummer, she continued to walk. After a hundred meters, she arrived ata taxi stand where many taxis were waiting for passengers.
When he saw Luca come out from the entrance, the door of the Hummer opened and a man walkeddown from it.
"Luca!" An arrogant male voice called out.
Luca frowned, turned around, and saw Pierre Mallory standing next to the Hummer. He was waving toher and saying, "Where are you going? I'll drive you."
Many passersby sighed when they saw this scene. 'Sigh, he's taken too.'
Such handsome and rich men were often taken.
Luca frowned, looked at the ostentatious man, and continued walking with disgust in her heart.
Seeing that she did not respond, Pierre told the driver to drive the car forward while he closed the doorand strode to her side. "Are you deaf?"
Luca remained silent.
"Hey, you have quite a temper, don't you? Why aren't you saying anything? Is there something wrongwith your throat?" Pierre continued to provoke her.
Luca still chose to keep quiet. The more attention she gave to a person like him, the more arrogant hewould be. Ignoring him was the best option.
Pierre touched his chin when he saw that. 'She has quite a personality. It's a pity. If I want to have fun,this kind of woman would have my attention for a while but my goal is still Nina. Luca is just meant toentertain me for the meantime.'
"What? Don't think you can get away by not talking. I haven't returned the slap you gave me last time."Pierre wanted to grab her but just as he touched her hand, she slapped his hand away.
His hand was slapped away under the gazes of so many people.
Pierre felt that he had been humiliated, so he walked to her side and threatened her in a low voice, "Ifyou continue to show your temper, I'll go and pick on Nina."
Luca rolled her eyes at him. Although she did not want to pay him any attention, when the manmentioned that he wanted to harass Nina, she could not help but say, "Although Nina has broken upwith your brother, your brother doesn't seem to have any intention of letting go."
"What did you say?" Pierre was very upset when he heard her bring up Percy. 'Does everyone thinkthat they can use Percy to blackmail me?'
"Did I stutter? Did you find out more about what Luke told you last time? What is Percy planning? Hashe really let go of Nina?" Luca continued to ask.
She did not dig deeper into what was happening between Nina and Percy because she did not evenhave enough time to manage her tasks at hand. She had no time to mind other people's affairs.
It would be great if Pierre could find out more about it and tell her.
Pierre had a stern expression. His temper was not good. He wanted to pick on Luca but she turned thesituation around and pissed him off.
"Luca, stay in your lane."
Luca listened to his warning and did not panic. "Stay in my lane? You were the one who mentionedNina and I'm just curious. What's wrong with that? Could it be that you haven't found out anything evenafter so long? He's your brother but you don't know anything? Are you really brothers?"
She knew how to target one's sore points, and after the last time, she knew exactly what Pierre's sorepoint was.novelbin
It was Percy...
Percy was responsible for taking the lead and making decisions while Pierre was the executioner.
The brothers were both from the Mallory family. Although there was nothing wrong with their way ofworking, the person who had to obey and execute would feel somewhat wronged after a period of time.
Pierre was in that position.
Luca only needed to provoke him slightly to stir up this sense of imbalance in him.
She was not afraid of what Pierre would do to Percy when he was triggered. Rather, she hoped that hewould take action.
Percy had bullied Nina for so long. He deserved to suffer a little.
Luca walked over to the taxi stand and stood in line.
It was still early today and there were not many people waiting in line. It would not take too long for herto get a taxi and get rid of Pierre, the annoying scum.
Pierre's mood sank, and he clenched his fists when he heard her provocation. "Of course, I know whatmy brother is doing." "You do? Do you really? Then tell me, is he going to marry the daughter of theJohnston family? Oh no, if he's going to marry her, why do you think Mr. Crawford said what he said?"
Pierre listened to her question and was speechless.
The people lining up in front of Luca got into the taxis one after another. Soon, Luca was first in line.
Looking at the empty taxi coming over from the distance, Luca smiled and reminded him, "You'd bettercheck it out yourself and stop thinking about how to get Nina. There are some things, people, and evenstatuses that you can't get just because you want them, Mr. Mallory. Also, if you continue to causetrouble for me, you'll never hear the end of it. I'm not one of those weak women. With me, you'll onlysuffer. if you don't believe me, just come at me."
Her conceit came from her confidence in her skills.
Pierre snorted coldly when he saw her bend over and get into the taxi.
The thorn in his heart was picked on again. He was pissed.
He angrily walked toward the Hummer parked on the side of the road.
As soon as he got in the car, he received a call from Percy. "Where are you? Meet me at the office."
Pierre said impatiently to the person on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll head there now."
Percy frowned when he heard the impatient voice. After he hung up, he made another call. As soon asthe call was connected, he asked, "How is Nina doing?"
"Ms. Langdon just went out. Looking at the route she's taking, I believe that she's going to the hospital.By the way, the surgeon told me yesterday that the surgery was a success, but they still have to keep aclose eye on whether she can survive this critical condition," the person on the other end of the phonesaid.
Percy loosened up when he heard that Anna O'Reilly's operation went well. "Continue to keep an eyeon her."
