Gordan pursed his lips and looked grudging. After all these years, he was still not used to it and had a bellyful of repressed
grievance looking at that plain face. "I'm happy to oblige as long as she doesn't show her face around me."
Luke shook his head helplessly.
The women outside were interested in Gordan because he was good-looking and could make money at any time.
Vivian was unlike those women.
At first, he also thought that Vivian liked Gordan because of his face, but as time went by, he did not think that was the case.
What Vivian liked from the get-go was Gordan's soul...
He could see it clearly as a third party, but Gordan was very stubborn and refused to acknowledge it.
Luke shook his head, controlled the wheelchair, and left the bedroom.
He and Gordan referred to each other as brothers, but they were not blood-related. Luke did not think that it was his place to
dictate his relationships.
The two walked into the elevator one after the other and took the elevator to the first floor.
Vivian was sitting on the sofa with Luca and Jason.
When she saw Gordan step out of the elevator, the words he said in the room earlier rang in Vivian's ears. She lowered her gaze
to hide the sadness in the depths of her eyes.
Gordan looked at Vivian and had no intention of consoling her. He turned to Luke and said, "Brother Luke, I'll get you a car to
send you to the hotel. When you're done with work, let's meet again."
"Okay." Luke did not stay any longer because he had other things to attend to.
Gordan went to make the necessary arrangements immediately.
Luca stood up, glanced at Vivian, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality."
When Vivian heard her, she stood up quickly, held herself together, and said, "You're welcome. If there's something that you
weren't satisfied with, please forgive me."
Gordan arranged the car and driver. He overheard what she said and sneered. "You're welcome. Entertaining guests is what she
should do."
Luca frowned slightly. In the past, she thought that Gordan could do better in terms of how he treated Vivian. After all, he should
treat her well since he had chosen to stay by her side. At that point, she did not find him irksome.
A few years later, things were still the same. However, she detested Gordan for it now.
Even with a pet, one would build a connection and relationship with it after a few years together. What was more, Vivian was a
living person who had been by his side for so many years. However, he had never appreciated her and always made fun of her...
'He really shouldn't be like this...'
Vivian was not the best-looking but it was not by choice.
'If people had a choice in this regard, who wouldn't want to be naturally beautiful?'
Luca was deep in thought when she heard Gordan say, "The car is already at the door. Brother, I'll send you off."
"Okay." Luke glanced at Luca. When their eyes met, neither of them said anything. She got behind his wheelchair and pushed it.
After they got in the car and left Gordan's villa, Luca looked at the scene of the streets outside that seemed to be going
backward. She hesitated for a while, then said, "Mr. Crawford, Vivian's mood became strange after she brought you tea. She
started looking depressed."
"She brought us tea?" Luke frowned. He did not see Vivian upstairs just now.
"Yes..." Luca saw his expression and had a rough idea of what happened.
It seemed that Vivian brought the tea upstairs but did not end up passing it to them. It was likely that her mood became weird
because she overheard something.
When she returned downstairs, she seemed unusually upset...
It was different from how she would act whenever Gordan regarded her with distaste. Luca felt that something was about to
happen...
Luke did not say anything and texted Gordan. [Vivian seems off, pay attention to her.]
Not long after, Gordan replied: [Brother Luke, did she say something to you?]
Luke did not tell him that Vivian might have overheard their conversation that included his unbridled hurtful words.
Even if he knew, Gordan would not apologize to Vivian.
Without an apology, the damage caused would never be undone, so it did not matter if Luke told him.
He would not feel guilty for talking bad about Vivian...
He replied: [No.].
[Don't worry about it. She's unhappy every day. Her face is ugly and she looks irked all the time. It's normal.] Gordan replied. It
was obvious that he was not at all bothered.
Luca looked at Luke, who silently put away his phone.
She assumed that he was talking to Gordan. Nevertheless, nothing came of it...
Gordan hated Vivian so much that he would never appease her...
Luca felt sad for Vivian.
The Rolls-Royce was speeding through the streets of Moscow. After they arrived at the hotel, Jason used their IDs to check in.
Other competitors also stayed in the area because the hotels around here were high-end, and they were also the closest to Party
A's company...
Luca helped Luke into the wheelchair. She then used fluent Russian to ask the driver to help them with their luggage.
The driver smiled and nodded toward Luca. He then took all their luggage from the car.
Before Luca could put the luggage aside, a hotel employee stepped out. They enthusiastically pushed Luke’s wheelchair and
picked up their luggage.
Luca followed the employee into the hotel lobby.
Jason went over to her holding their ID cards and the room cards. He then distributed the items accordingly.
In foreign countries, these documents were proof of identity. They might not necessarily be together all the time, so it was best
for them to hold on to their own documents. Otherwise, there may be trouble.
Luca took her room card, then Jason handed another room card to her. "Dr. Craw, you and the boss will be staying in a suite."
Luca looked at the suite room card. There was no point in her arguing since they had already made a decision.
"Okay." She had no choice but to take the other room card.
Luke did not speak as Jason handed him another room card. "Boss, this is a backup card."
"Mm." Luke took it.
They were in a six-star hotel, so three bellboys handled their luggage while another two attendants brought them to their
respective rooms.
Luca opened the door of the suite with the key card and pushed Luke’s wheelchair in.
The suite had two rooms. Like other suites, there was a large living room, a dining room, and even a kitchen.
Luca guessed that there would be some ingredients in the refrigerator.
"Choose a room," Luke said.
Luca glanced at the two rooms that were side by side and suddenly remembered that specific day in B City.
The hotel rooms were also side-by-side...
She glanced inside. The interior of the bedrooms was similar. She picked the one with the balcony and said, "Mr. Crawford, can I
take this room?"
