Of course, there was another kind of situation, which was Abel was trying to contact her.
The numbers they had been using to call each other were a bunch of messy codes. If Nina and Luke saw such a thing, they
would definitely suspect what kind of phone call it was. At the same time, there was no need to unlock the screen to answer a
call. What if they answered it...
When Luke saw her knowing that someone had been calling her but she was not in a hurry to check her phone, he started to
suspect something.
When a person knew they had missed calls, they would immediately check their phone to see who had called. However, Luca
did not do so.
Her expression was slightly unnatural as well.
Was she sick and confused, or was she afraid of something?
“Are you not taking a look at your phone?” Luke asked as he stared at her.
Luca snapped back to her senses and took her phone out of the bag. As she unlocked the screen, then there were indeed a few
missed calls.
She was slightly relieved. This indicated that Luke and Nina had not answered her calls. She tapped on the call log. All the calls
shown were unanswered, and they were normal numbers.
Luca did not call them back. She reckoned these were cold calls. It was just that the moment she saw there were no messy
codes, she felt relieved.
Luke did not point it out when he noticed that she was clearly relieved.
It seemed like there were many secrets hidden in Luca’s phone. He intended to take a look at her phone when he got her bag,
but considering that he did not know her phone’s passcode, he gave up checking her phone.
Now with just one small expression, he was able to confirm that Luca was hiding something from him.
“Have you eaten dinner?” Luke asked.
“No.” Luca shook her head. She deleted the missed calls one by one. It was a habit of hers that no matter who gave her a call,
she would delete the call log after it, not leaving a trace behind.
It seemed like it was something that would be done by someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder. It was just her habit not to
leave traces behind.
“Serve the oats,” Luke ordered the caretaker.
The caretaker nodded her head when she heard him. She hurriedly went to the kitchen to serve the oats.
“I’ve lost my appetite.” Luca could not only taste the blandness in her mouth now but there was also a hint of bitterness.
Luke replied, “Eat some even if you’re losing your appetite. The reason you got sick this time is because your body is too weak.
Continue to take a few days of rest here. You may go to work next Monday.”
Luca touched the gauze on her forehead. At first, she was supposed to go back to work this Friday. Now, it was postponed
again...
The whole project had already been developed once before, so things could go on normally even without her. Hence, Luke
granted her leave as the progress would not be affected.
Luca thought that she had gotten enough rest. Besides, she was in this apartment now...
Luca accepted the oats that the nanny handed to her, and she took a sip of it. She thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Crawford,
you have some personal connections in the police station. Do you mind helping me ask when I can get my identification card
back?”
Luke shot her a glance. He did not answer her question and instead, he said, “This apartment is now your employee residence.
You can stay as long as you want to. I’ll send someone to move my things away.”
Luca felt uncertain when she heard that. It looked like he had decided to retain her here. Staying anywhere was not a problem.
After all, since it was part of Luke’s plan, even if she moved back to her apartment, her apartment would probably be installed
with surveillance cameras when the time came.
It was the caretaker were to keep an eye on her for the whole day, it would be more frustrating than having surveillance cameras.
She said, “Mr. Crawford, I appreciate the benefits that you’ve given me. I can accept this apartment, but I have a condition.”
Luke looked at her and shook his head. “What’s the condition?”
“I’m feeling much better now, so I don’t need a caretaker to take care of me. If you’re really planning to make this apartment my
employee accommodation, I hope you can bring this caretaker somewhere else,” Luca replied.
The caretaker asked immediately when she heard her, “Ms. Craw, why? Am I lacking in any areas?”
Luca listened to her anxious tone. She could not be bothered being polite and interrupted Luca. She was worried that she would
get blamed by Luke because of her incompetence.
He had always been a fairly strict person. If Luca suddenly said that she did not need a caretaker, the caretaker would be
punished.
“You’re good, but I’m used to being alone. I don’t need someone to look after me,” Luca answered.
The caretaker did not say anything more. She was too anxious just now, so she said something hastily. Even so, it was not
considered impolite.
Luke nodded his head when he heard that and said, “Sure.”
When Luca saw him not saying anything else, she could not bear it and added, “It has nothing to do with the caretaker. I’m just
used to living alone.”
Luke found it interesting when she emphasized that again. Clearly, she had noticed that the caretaker was here to keep an eye
on her, but now, she was defending her.
She wanted to get rid of the caretaker but was also speaking up for her. Was Luca not afraid that Luke would let the caretaker
continue taking care of her?
If the death of the security guard was her plan of getting close to him, then why did she send some condolence money to the
security guard’s family after that?
Was she feeling guilty?
Luca was sort of interesting...
“Alright, pack up tomorrow and head to the suburban villa. You’ll be responsible for cleaning and looking after the villa together
with Isabel.” Luke arranged another job for the caretaker in front of them.
Luca let out a sigh of relief when she heard that.
That was nice of him for not blaming the caretaker.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford.” The caretaker nodded her head hurriedly. Since Luke arranged another job for her in front of Luca, it
indicated that he did not blame her for this.
Luca must have noticed that she came to keep an eye on her under the cloak of taking care of her, so she requested Luke to
assign her away.
After all, a normal person would be overwhelmed with joy if there was a caretaker to take care of their daily life for free. How
would they request to assign the caretaker somewhere else?
Luca finished the bowl of oats silently.
Luke picked up the bowl that she had finished eating and refilled it with oats.
Luca frowned when she saw it. “I can’t eat anymore.”
“Have one more bowl. There’s too much, don’t waste it.” Luke handed the bowl to her.
Luca had no choice but to accept it, forcing herself to eat slowly. Fortunately, it was just oats. After picking out the bananas, she
was able to eat the oats.
“Why are you not having the bananas?” Luke noticed she had left out all the bananas.
“I don’t feel like having it,” Luca replied.
“In terms of being picky with food, you’re kind of similar to Tommy.” Luke did not force her to finish all the bananas. After all, it
was normal for someone to lose their appetite after they had just recovered from an illness.
“Pack your things up,” he said to the caretaker.
The caretaker, who had been watching them interacting with each other, snapped back to her senses. She nodded her head
instantly and said, “Yes, Mr. Crawford.”
