Alice shook her head as she felt like Myra had been acting strange ever since she came back home.
She was the one at fault, so why did she want someone else to come and approach her?
"Alice, why aren't you saying anything? Am I wrong?" Myra watched Luca leave, and her nonchalant demeanor
made her furious.
If it were not for Luca, she would not have had to go through all of this.
Alice was afraid that Myra would go up and cause trouble, so she quickly patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
"Okay, fine. She probably didn't recognize you, so that's why she didn't come over..."
"What do you mean she didn't recognize me? That woman treats everyone like this because she has Luke to rely
on. Hmph. She's just a mistress. What gives her the right to act that way? Mistresses don't end well because they'll
eventually be replaced!" Myra got more worked up as she spoke and started getting looks from passersby.
Alice felt embarrassed, so she hurriedly dragged her to the fruit section. "Myra, come get some fruits with me.
There aren't any more fruits at home."
Myra was still looking in the direction where Luca left when Alice pulled her away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca was checking out as she was done grocery shopping.
After checking out, Warren was in charge of carrying the two bags of groceries to the parking lot.
After the two had returned to the car, Warren asked, "Ms. Craw, the woman who knocked over the shelf earlier.
Was she the one who yelled at Young Master Tommy and demanded he be expelled?"
He remembered everyone he had interacted with before.
"Yes, you have a good memory," said Luca as she picked up her phone to send a message to Amur, asking him if he
was awake.
"The woman was incredibly cocky at the time, so it's hard for me not to remember." Warren recalled what the
woman said and found himself speechless.
She was the first person in A City who dared to demand their boss' child drop out of school. She was probably the
last too.
As soon as Warren finished speaking, Luca's phone vibrated.
She opened her messages to see that Amur had replied that he was awake.
"Let's go, Warren," said Luca.
"Yes, Ms. Craw." Warren immediately started the car and drove to the apartment.
After arriving, Luca got out of the car with the two bags of ingredients in her hands. She told Warren to have dinner
somewhere nearby before going upstairs with the groceries.
When she got to the elevator, Luca bumped into Mrs. Selley, who just came back from walking her dog.
“Oh my, what a coincidence." Mrs. Selley smiled when she noticed Luca approaching. When she saw the two bags
of groceries in her hands, she said, "You bought so much."
"Yeah, I'm cooking for my brother." Luca nodded.
"Your foreigner brother is lucky," Mrs. Selley teased, but she was actually not familiar with Amur.
Luca smiled, and when the elevator doors opened on the first floor, she let Mrs. Selley in first.
Mrs. Selley led her pet dog into the elevator and said to Luca, "Come on in. Don't be afraid. My dog won't bite."
Luca nodded and walked into the elevator.
Her dog was very obedient and was just watching Luca from the corner.
Luca asked out of curiosity, "Mrs. Selley, when did you get a dog?"
"Not long ago. Don't you think that this apartment is a bit gloomy and scary? That's why I wanted to raise a dog
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbecause I heard that dogs are spiritual and that they can see supernatural things as well as scare them away," said
Mrs. Selley as she pulled the leash to bring the dog closer to her.
Luca did not say anything else.
Mrs. Selley sighed again. "Your foreigner brother is quite brave to be living there alone. Sigh, I always hear the
movements from your place, and it's terrifying."
"Perhaps it's my brother working out in the house," said Luca as she did not believe in ghosts.
However, she had no intention of correcting Mrs. Selley's thoughts.
The reason why humans would start believing in ghosts was because of the fear inside of them.
Luca was not afraid of ghosts. The thing she feared the most was the man who wanted to hurt Luke, Abel.
"Your foreigner brother is quite peculiar too, isn't he? He doesn't go out a lot, and when he does, he doesn't greet
anyone. Are people from your country this rude?" Mrs. Selley asked.
Her relative's daughter had come to visit once, and she happened to bump into Amur.
The young girl immediately fell for him, so she asked Mrs. Selley to help her get his number and also find out if he
had a girlfriend.
Mrs. Selley was happy to be the matchmaker. She waited for several days before she saw Amur open the door and
got the chance to ask him.
