"Don't make fun of me. You don't look like you've been eating well since I've been gone." Percy looked at her frail face with pity.

"Mrs. Euphegenia told you?" Nina stuck out her tongue. Mrs. Euphegenia was the maid hired by Percy to take care of their day-to-day life in the villa. Her appetite had truly worsened since he left.

It was mainly because she missed him...

Before she acknowledged her feelings for him, she never thought that there would be a day when she would lose her appetite because she missed him so much.

"Mrs. Euphegenia didn't tell me anything. I can see that your face has gotten thinner." Percy felt that if the situation dragged on, Nina would get thinner and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"Is it that obvious?" Nina touched her face. If he had not mentioned it, she would not have noticed anything.

After he brought it up, she realized that whenever she lost weight, it would start from the face.

"Eat well and wait for me to come back," Percy said.

"Okay." Nina agreed so that he would not worry about her.

Her ability was limited. She could not help Percy with many things. All she could do was to make him feel more at ease.

There was a knock on Percy's door.

Nina heard it and said, "I'll let you get back to it. I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

Her sensibleness made Percy reluctant to hang up the call. Nevertheless, she knew that he would not hang up, so she hung up the video call before he could reply.

Percy looked at the screen and was speechless. He thought that she could sometimes be a little less sensible.

That was because she now had him by her side.

There was another knock on the door. Percy put his phone on the table and said, "Come in."

The bodyguard opened the door and walked in. He did not realize that he had disturbed Percy's call with Nina. He thought that Percy's stern expression was because of Pierre.

"Boss, we've tied up the Second Young Master," he reported.

"Well done." Percy nodded. His expression did not soften because of the update.

After all, he would not have been forced to tie Pierre up if he were more cooperative.

Seeing that he had no further instructions, the bodyguard bit the bullet and asked, "Boss, do you want to keep Second Young Master tied up the entire time?"

"Does he deserve freedom?" Percy asked.

'He doesn't deserve it...' The bodyguard did not dare to answer him out loud and opted to keep the response to himself. However, he thought that it would not be the best idea to keep him tied up as Pierre was not a prisoner.

"Boss, it's inconvenient for Second Young Master to eat and go to the toilet if he's tied up," the bodyguard reminded him.

Percy looked at the person in front of him and gave a solution. "Draw up a schedule. Those who are on duty will take turns watching him. Feed him food and water when he's hungry and thirsty. Untie his feet if he wants to go to the toilet."

The bodyguard frowned. 'We have to take care of Pierre?'

Although it was not a difficult task, Pierre was arrogant. He would surely hate Percy for treating him as such.

"Boss, Second Young Master may hate you even more if you do this. His ego is big..." The bodyguard gently reminded Percy. Pierre's ego was not as per your average man.

It was nice to be served, but not to this extent...

Pierre would be driven mad.

"I know that he has a big ego. The bigger it is, the more I want to torture him," Percy said. He had thought about everything. He wanted to take this opportunity to dim Pierre's spirits. "Tell me when the day comes when he's willing to accept your service.”

“Okay, Boss." Seeing that Percy seemed so determined, the bodyguard understood that he was determined to teach Pierre a lesson.

It was not his place as a bodyguard to comment on the dispute between the brothers. All he could do was perform the task as requested.

On the other hand.

After the signing ceremony, Luke and Marcos did a short interview.

Luca looked at Luke, who was on the stage. He appeared high-spirited, cold, arrogant, and captivating.

She glanced at the reporters at the scene.

Many female reporters admired Luke even with Marcos standing beside him. A lot of them raised their hands just to ask Luke a question.

Luca understood instantly why Luke insisted on removing the cast the day prior.

She would be lying if she said that she was not sad seeing him being admired by so many people. All content is property © .

Luca remembered how it was when she used to stand next to him.

Many people were not optimistic about their relationship, but he was firm with his choice.

Jason did not stand on the stage with Luke because Luke did not need a translator. He stood beside Luca and sighed. "No wonder the boss insisted on removing the cast yesterday. He's standing next to Mr. Marcos but the limelight belongs to him fully."

He spoke softly, so he was not worried that anyone who worked for Marcos' would overhear their conversation.

Luca listened to him and murmured in agreement, "Yeah."

"Dr. Craw, do you think the boss is handsome too?" Jason asked with a smile on his face.

Luca glanced at him and said nothing.

M Group did not give the reporters much time to ask questions. The signing ceremony officially ended after the two men answered several questions.

The security team at M Group then asked the reporters to leave.

Many reporters who had not asked any questions were naturally unwilling to leave just like that. However, when faced with the security guards, they could only turn around and sneak glances as they left the venue.

Jason noticed that Luke was slightly taller than Marcos. He said, "The boss is so handsome."

Mr. Zac, who was on the side, could not help but tease him, "Mr. Doyle, if you didn't have a wife and children, I would've questioned whether you're..."

Mr. Zac did not continue talking. He just bent his thumb.

"Nonsense. You'll be slapped if the boss finds out that you said that," Jason said quickly.

Before Luke met Bianca, he refused to get close to women. No matter how beautiful a woman was and how much she tried to seduce him, it would all be in vain. Some women who went too far to gain the upper hand even got themselves blacklisted by Luke. They could not continue their lives in A City.

Over time, some strange rumors arose.

Every time Luke heard this kind of rumor, his handsome face would become stern.

In the end, when he announced to the public that he had a pair of twins, such speculation stopped. The public turned their attention to the children, wanting to know the identity of the mother of the child.

Mr. Zac smiled, shook his head quickly, and said nothing more.

Luca looked at Luke.

He was talking to Marcos on stage.

After a while, Luke returned with a smile on his face because the contract had already been signed.

"Marcos invited us to dinner at his manor tonight."

"Manor?" Mr. Zac was a little surprised. There would usually be a celebration banquet after a successful signing, but this kind of celebration banquet was usually held in a hotel.

It was a rare occurrence to go to a manor to celebrate.

The wealth and capabilities of Marcos should not be underestimated.

"Let's go back to the hotel first. Mr. Doyle, come with me." Luke walked away.

Jason followed behind him immediately.

Luca watched Luke stand aside with Jason and wondered what he was talking to Jason about.

The staff on the side said happily, "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to visit Marcos' manor. How great!"
