Not long after Nina had just entered the bathroom, the doorbell rang.
Luca went to answer the door. This time, she cautiously looked through the peephole to check on the situation outside. She only opened the door after making sure that Percy had not returned and it was the waiter who came to deliver food.
After the dining cart was pushed in, she requested the waiter to send two ice packs over. She wanted to reduce the swelling in Nina’s eyes.
“Miss, the ice packs are in the interlayer of the dining cart.” The waiter smiled and replied.
Luca raised her eyebrows, opened the interlayer drawer, and glanced at it. There were indeed two ice packs inside. She did not request the waiter for them before this, but they were already prepared in advance. No matter how silly she was, she knew what was going on.
Percy knew Nina would cry after he left, so he asked the waiter to prepare these.
This man knew Nina well.
Usually, a man would only be attentive to the woman he loved. Could it be that he was serious about Nina?
However, if he was serious about Nina, why would he accept the marriage arrangements of his family?
Luca had always thought that Percy and Luke were the same types of people.
Although they were aloof and focused on authority, they were never the kind of people who would make compromises when it came to their relationship. Even if the match arranged for them by their family was perfect and the women were able to help them achieve great progress in their career, they would not agree to marry a woman they were not in love with.
Otherwise, Luke and she would not have experienced those days back then.
Hence, if Percy had fallen in love with Nina, he would not have accepted the Warner family’s daughter. There must be some misunderstanding here. Percy must be hiding something from them.
Luca was deep in thought.
The waiter saw her staring at the ice packs without saying anything. He asked in a respectful tone, “Miss, is there anything else you need?”
“Oh, that’s all. Thank you.” Luca took a bill out of her pocket as the tip.
The waiter accepted it happily. “Miss, enjoy your meal.”
Luca pushed the dining cart into the living room. Nina happened to walk out and asked, “Lunch is already here?”
“Yes, it’s here. Come and eat.” Luca smiled and beckoned to her.
Nina came forward. After all that crying, she was feeling slightly calmer now. She picked up her lunch and ate silently.
Luca followed and ate too. While she ate, she said, “When you finish your lunch later, put the ice packs on your eyes for ten minutes. Then I’ll massage them for you. It can reduce 80% of the swelling.”
“That’s incredible!” Nina looked at her in admiration. “Luca, just in case you don’t feel like working at Watson one day, do tell me. Let’s partner up and open a beauty salon. You have such amazing massage techniques, so there’ll definitely be a long queue of rich wives in our beauty salon!”
“Sure,” Luca laughed playfully and replied, “When the time comes, I’ll be in charge of receiving the customers and you’ll handle the money, alright?”
“I’m good at that!” Nina smiled as she spoke. All of a sudden, Bianca flashed in her mind. Back then, they had made a similar promise with each other. Bianca was good at cooking, so she joked that if she wanted to change careers in the future, they would partner up and open a homestyle restaurant. Bianca was a fantastic cook, so she was pretty sure that it would be a popular business.
After lunch, Luca took the ice packs out from the interlayer drawer of the dining cart.
Nina was surprised. “You even prepared these in advance!”
“It wasn’t me.” Luca hesitated for three seconds, but she still decided to tell her about it. After all, it was Percy’s kind thoughts. Even though Luca thought that Nina was out of Percy’s league, Nina needed to know about a man who was so attentive in doing things.
After Nina heard about it, an inexplicable look of sadness flashed across her eyes.
Just when Luca was thinking that it would have been better if she did not tell her about it, Nina had already laid down. She said, “Come on, let’s get the swelling reduced quickly so we can go out earlier.”
Luca handed the ice packs to her.
Nina did not care about how cold they were. She placed them on her eyes right away.
After half an hour, the swelling around Nina’s eyes was almost reduced. After that, both of them tidied themselves up a little before going out.
There was a shopping district near the hotel. Both of them discussed for a moment and decided to take a stroll there.
After Nina’s suggestion, both of them came to a beauty salon and were planning to get a facial. After getting some recommendations from the beautician, they entered a two-person room, purchased a beauty package, and got their facials.
Nina had her eyes closed and felt satisfied as the steam opened the pores on her face. She sighed and said, “One of the happiest moments of being a woman would be this particular moment, right?”
“Indeed, it’s so comfortable.” Luca closed her eyes as she enjoyed it.
As if getting a facial could make one leave all their troubles behind, it seemed like Nina was not thinking about Percy’s misbehaviors anymore. Luca seemed to have forgotten about Luke and Abel’s matter as well.
While both of them were enjoying their time, a voice came from the next room.
“Miss Tia, we’ve prepared a deluxe twin room for you. This way, please.” A beautician’s voice sounded.
Luca opened her eyes, and so did Nina. They listened to the voices coming from next door.
“Alright, I’ll get two luxury beauty packages today. Do it right. If I think it’s done nicely, I’ll get an annual pass here,” Tia said.
“Sure, sure. We’ll certainly provide you with the best service.” There came the beautician’s voice again.
Luca and Nina exchanged glances with each other. Tia was the one who got involved in a scandal with Luke, right?
They thought this woman’s voice was similar to hers as they listened.
Then, there came noises from next door again.
“Sophia, I brought you here today to experience this luxury beauty package. Don’t say I’m not treating you well next time.” There was a sense of pride in Tia’s voice.
“Thank you, Ms. Tia. It’s my first time getting such a luxurious facial.” Sophia was Tia’s assistant, and she had just shot a glance at the price of the facial. She was excited.
It was her first time getting such an expensive facial. She felt like her living standard had just leveled up.
“Then enjoy it.” Tia sounded arrogant.
Nina waved her hand at her beautician.
The beautician understood what she meant and came forward. “Miss Langdon, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Is Miss Tia a regular customer of your beauty salon?” Nina asked. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
The beautician nodded her head. “Miss Tia has been coming here for facial treatments these days.”
“Is she the one who’s very famous in the psychology field?” Nina only wanted to confirm that.
“I’m not sure about that, but I heard that she’s an outstanding and successful woman. And she was on the news a few days ago,” the beautician replied.
“The scandal with Luke Crawford?” Nina was trying to keep her voice down, and the beautician had also lowered her voice. Hence, the conversation between them could only be heard by Luca and her beautician. The others would not be able to hear it.
“Yes, yes, that’s her. Our manager even told us that only such a beautiful woman is worthy of standing beside Mr. Crawford.” The beautician nodded her head hurriedly.
