At that time, although there was a maid at home, she insisted on being hands-on during the festivities.
She had not celebrated New Year's since she was kidnapped to the Island of Despair.
As such, she was taken back when Aunt Neile asked her if she wanted to go get some New Year's goods. She had
almost forgotten about New Year's after three years.
Moreover, she had nothing to do with getting the New Year's goods ready.
After all, it was not her place to do so.
Luca got up and went downstairs. The children had already gotten up and were playing with each other.
When he saw her come downstairs, Tommy wanted to rush to her side but thought of her warning, so he could only
stand there and say, "Ms. Luca, you're awake!"
"Mm, are you playing games?" Luca glanced at the toys they were playing with. They were the educational toys
gifted by Old Master Crawford.
They were helpful for the children's intellectual development.
"Yeah, we didn't play with them when the Great-grandpa got it for us, so we thought of playing with them for a bit.
This is a four-player game, so Lanie is playing for two players," Rainie said with a smile.
A four-player game...'
If Nyla were here, she would be able to play the game with them. She would even be a little rascal and ask her
brothers and sisters to play nice.
Luca's mood turned gloomy when she thought of Little Nyla.
She was fortunate that Amur was now back on the Island of Despair, so there was one more person to help him
take care of her.
Aunt Neile came out, saw that Luca had woken up, and said with a smile on her face, "Ms. Craw, you're finally up."
"Mm, the side effects of the drug are a little strong, so I slept for longer," Luca replied with a smile.
"Yeah, you were asleep for too long and didn't reply Mr. Crawford. He got worried and asked me to check on you to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsee if you were feeling unwell," Aunt Neile replied. Luke did not hear back from Luca, so he called Aunt Neile to
check up on her.
Aunt Neile went up to check in on her three times in the few short hours.
"You went into the bedroom?" Luca was surprised that she did not notice.
She had always been a light sleeper, but she was not at all aware that Aunt Neile came in.
"Yeah, you were sound asleep, so you didn't notice that I went. I even took your temperature. Your body
temperature was normal and you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't bother you," Aunt Neile said. She took Luca's
temperature under Luke's orders.
However, Luca did not wake up.
"It may be because of the medicine that I was dead asleep," Luca said. She did not expect three cold medicines to
make her fall asleep for so long.
It seemed to be more powerful than her sleeping pills.
However, she believed that there was nothing better than her sleeping pills. The only reason that she was in deep
sleep was that Luke's scent was still in the bedroom.
She felt at ease breathing in his scent, so she slept more soundly.
"You've been working too hard. It's good that you paid off some sleep debt," Aunt Neile said as she placed the
afternoon tea in her hand. "Ms. Craw, let's have afternoon tea first. After all, dinner will take place two hours later."
Luke would be back for dinner, so they all had to wait for him to come back before they could eat.
"Thank you." Luca took a bite of the snack. It was sweet, soft, and delicious.
"By the way, did you reply to Mr. Crawford's message? He said you never replied to him," Aunt Neile asked.
"I've already replied to him. I didn't pay attention when the phone rang because I was sleeping so..." Luca
explained. She walked away with the snacks in her hands.
"Is that so? Mr. Crawford cares deeply about you." Aunt Neile smiled and said.
Luca bows her head slightly. ‘Yeah, Luke cares about me.'
Nevertheless, now that she had changed her identity, there was no way that she could repay his kindness.
...
T Corporation.
Jason walked into Luke's office and reported, "Boss, Mr. Mallory is here."
"Let him in." Luke closed the file he was attending to.
Jason smiled and looked at Percy, who was behind him. "Mr. Mallory, come with me."
"There's so many SOPs here. I'm already in front of the door. Why do you need to let him know that I'm here?
You're afraid that your boss will blame you for not performing as per expectations? You have nothing to worry
about. You're welcome in Mallory Corporation anytime." Percy smiled at Jason.
They went to college together.
Jason had always been impressive. Originally, he wanted to recruit Jason to Mallory Corporation after they
graduated.
He was surprised that Jason wanted to take up the challenge and choose to work under Luke in T Corporation.
"Mr. Mallory, don't you have something to discuss with the boss?" Jason did not answer him straight. Although he
knew Percy was joking, he was still at work, after all.
"You're getting more and more old-fashioned after spending time with Luke." Percy shook his head at him. "I'll have
a chat with him. Let's have a drink together when we're free."
"Mr. Mallory, the boss is waiting for you inside." Jason raised a smile and repeated the same sentence.
It seemed that Percy wanted him to be out of a job and go to work at Mallory Corporation.
However, he was not at all interested.
After all, although Percy was in power at the Mallory Corporation, there was Pierre, who had the ambition of a wolf.
Since Percy insisted on being with Nina, his path as the future heir would be difficult.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPercy walked into Luke's office smiling.
"Are you here to talk to me or are you here to poach my employees?" Luke said to Percy as he raised his hand to
signal Jason to close the door.
Jason nodded and closed the door.
"I wanted to, but he's not interested. If I could have him, it would've happened long ago." Percy sat lazily on the
chair.
"What do you want to talk about face-to-face?" Luke asked.
"Okay, I'll get straight to the point. I need your and Jim's help," Percy said.
Luke raised his eyebrows and replied, "What do you need help with?"
"Recently, I found out that someone has been secretly buying Mallory Corporation's shares. I think Pierre is behind
it," Percy said. When they tracked the account, they found that the account holder was not Pierre.
Nevertheless, it was easy for him to use someone else's account to buy shares of Mallory Corporation.
"Is he conspiring to usurp the throne?" Luke was sure of the answer but still asked.
The relationship between Percy and Pierre was no more. Pierre must be secretly doing that to win the right to
speak in Mallory Corporation.
Whoever owned more shares was eligible to overturn the other party's right to speak in Mallory Corporation.
"What an unfilial brother." Percy was still in the mood to joke around. "If he has the ability, I'm more than happy to
give the company to him. It's a pity that he can't handle the weight on his shoulder."
Based on what Pierre has done recently, anyone with a bit of common sense would see that Pierre could not run
the company.
He had always been an executor, but the difference in ability was clear when he suddenly became the decision
maker.
Although his company seemed like it was doing fine, it was only because he was dumping tons of money into it to
put out fires.
