Luke was disdainful because of Luca's interaction with Jean.
Rain saw everything clearly, and she reported to Luke without missing a single detail.
That was why his expression was ugly.
Luca sat up straight and put on her seatbelt.
"You don't have anything to say?" Luke asked.
Luca wondered what was there to say. ‘Am I supposed to tell him what I discovered?’
She nodded and said quickly, "After talking to Jean, I'm sure that Nina is in Pierre's hands and she shouldn’t be in any danger now. We can focus on investigating Pierre. We can start with—”
Luke interrupted her and said coldly, "Rains is aware of all that you mentioned. She’s taking action now."
Luca was astounded, nodded, and said in a neutral tone, "Oh."
Luke was infuriated when he thought of how Jean took advantage of Luca. He stopped talking, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.
Luca could tell that he was speeding and pursed her lips. Even if he did not say anything, she could tell that he was fuming.
When Luke was angry, it was best not to say anything. What was more, she was not Bianca. She was just an employee of his. It did not seem right if she tried to comfort him.
The green light ahead turned red. Luke slammed on the brakes so hard that he almost rushed past the zebra crossing.
Luca frowned. If he had not stepped on the brakes in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable...
"Mr. Crawford, what's the matter with you?" she asked.
Luke's expression was cold. ‘She’s asking me what’s the matter?!’
She was Bianca, so, of course, she knew what was wrong with him.
Luke wanted to uncover the truth and asked her if she had lost interest in him. However, his past experience told him that Luca's estrangement was a last resort and she still had strong feelings toward him.
"I’m fine." Luke turned his face away to look at the red light.
"Can you drive slower? I drank a little too much and my stomach is not feeling the best," Luca said pitifully. Her stomach was churning as Luke was driving so fast.
She had taken the drug so she would not get drunk. However, she felt sick since the liquor in her stomach had not been discharged. Nausea came in waves.
Luke was stunned. He was trying to vent his unhappiness but forgot that she had been drinking.
"Mm." His reply was stiff.
Luca closed her eyes. He was driving very fast just now and the ride was a little bumpy. She did not want to talk anymore as she felt that the booze in her stomach would come out as soon as she spoke.
Luke felt pity at how distressed she looked, and his anger gradually decreased.
The reason why she did all of that was because of Nina. She was a kind person, so she would do her best to help when Nina encountered a situation as such.
Therefore, he should give her his full understanding and tolerance.
The red light turned green. Luke did not drive as crazily as before. It was a smooth ride, and they arrived at the apartment safely.
"We’re here." He reminded her softly as he looked at the woman resting on the chair with her eyes closed.
Luca was sensitive toward his mood changes and knew that he was no longer fuming.
She opened her eyes, unbuckled her seat belt, and said to him, "Mr. Crawford, thank you for sending me back."
Luke nodded, unbuckled his seat belt, and said, "You're welcome. It's on the way, anyway."
Luca watched him open his car door, the implication being that he would sleep at her place that night...
"If you're not feeling well, don't act like you are. I've made an appointment with Johann. I can take you to the hospital at any time for an IV drip." Luke had already made arrangements.
Luca was surprised. She did not expect him to trouble Johann just because she drank a little too much.
She touched her head, feeling embarrassed. She nodded and agreed. "Okay."
Luke looked at her blushing face. He resisted the urge to pull her into his arms and stood up. He walked into the bathroom with a fresh set of clothes.
Luca listened to the sound of the water in the bathroom and touched her hot face. ‘It must be the alcohol. I’m not tempted…’
She stood up, put the cup back in the kitchen, and walked straight back to the bedroom.
After she cleaned herself up quickly, Luca lay on the bed but could not fall asleep...
All she could think about was Luke.
His concern for her was not fake; it was real. It made it difficult for her to fall asleep...
‘Should I execute Abel's command?’
If she wanted to go ahead with it, she was presented with a good opportunity. Even if she was reluctant to admit it, Luke's concern for her was not fake. He only had eyes for her.
However, she did not want to hurt him...
Luca turned around, and her bedroom door was opened.
She immediately turned on the bedside lamp and sat up. She looked at Luke, who was standing by the door, and said in surprise, "Mr. Crawford?"
Luke looked at Luca, who did not look at all sleepy. He asked in a low voice, "You’re awake?”
"I just laid down and I’m ready for bed." Luca could not fall asleep but lied to him anyway.
