'Luke's subordinate?'

Mavis was stunned. She thought that Luca was cheating on Luke and rejoiced that she caught her in the act.

She knew that Luke hated being deceived and betrayed the most...

Warren shouted at her when he saw her stand there dumbfoundedly, "Aren't you going to leave? Do you want Mr. Crawford to come to the scene and ask you for an explanation in person?"

Mavis snorted coldly. It was the weekend, so there was a large crowd in the supermarket. Her actions had attracted the attention of many.

Mavis said, "Don't be too complacent. You're not worthy of him."

"Are you worthy of him?" Luca asked.

Mavis was taken back. She stomped her foot and turned around to leave.

Vivian waited for Mavis to leave before she asked softly, "Luca, that lady just now..."

"She should be Mr. Crawford's former subordinate. She might've thought I was somehow involved with Warren," Luca said helplessly as she chose the four-piece bedding set for Vivian.

"She thought that you..." Vivian was surprised and could not help but laugh. "She likes Mr. Crawford?"

"I don't know. What color do you like?" Luca chose the best for Vivian. It would be better to buy them in a specialty store, but they had to buy many things, so it was more convenient to shop here.

"I like light colors," Vivian said. Since Luca did not want to talk about it, she would not press further.

Nevertheless, anyone could tell that Mavis was hostile toward Luca.

When a woman was hostile to another woman, it was usually because of a man. She was familiar with the feeling.

In the past, Gordan had shown up with many women to piss her off. She had seen how they were jealous and would try to compete with her.

Although these women were nothing but props for Gordan to force her to back off, she would still be sad every time she encountered such a situation...

"This brand of home textiles is pretty good. Look at the quality of the samples here. If you like this quality, we'll choose this one." Luca was not affected by Mavis. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She had not gotten together with Luke, and even if she kept thinking about it, she still could not be with him.

As such, Luca thought that she had no reason to be sad.

"This one is of good quality. I'll go with this one for all three sets. I remember that Ray also likes pure cotton sheets." Vivian touched the sample and knew that it was pure cotton.

"Okay, we'll take one in light pink and another in light yellow. As for the second bedroom, let's go with gray?" Luca helped her decide.

"Luca, you're wonderful. I like both of these colors!" Vivian was a little surprised that Luca knew that about her.

She was attentive.

Sure enough, the women who could stand beside Luke were not your average Janes.

Vivian thought of Bianca. When Luke was captured by those from the Island of Despair, she not only took care of the children but also stabilized the family while managing a multinational business like T Corporation.

Under everyone's doubts and pressures, Bianca supported the entire Crawford family without breaking a sweat.

She heard Ray mention that Bianca did not even get Old Master Crawford involved to manage the situation.

Luca, although she had not done anything like Bianca, also seemed like a tough cookie.

With admiration in her heart, Vivian and Luca continued to pick the items on the list.

Two hours later, after some shopping, the backseat of the car that Warren drove was full of supermarket bags filled with household items.

"We're finally done! Luca, you're so impressive." Vivian gave her a thumbs up.

The supermarket was huge, but they followed Luca's footsteps and took the most efficient path.

Luca smiled and said, "It's nothing. Let's go back to your place and put these where they should be."

"Okay!" Vivian was influenced by Luca. She was looking forward to her new life more and more.

After the two got into the car, Warren drove the car off.

Mavis opened the car door and looked at their car with resentment in her eyes.

Sure enough, it was Luke's car.

‘Well, the man was right. He's Luke's driver and was there to drive Luca around. This woman is something else if she can get Luke to give her a driver...'

Mavis clenched her fists in jealousy.

'Why her? After Bianca left, another woman appeared in front of him! If any woman can do it, why can't

I be together with him?!'

Half an hour later, with the help of Warren and the property manager, Luca and Vivian successfully moved everything into the apartment.

Luca started to sort the items out. She put the four-piece bed set in the washing machine to wash and dry, then put the other items in their respective places.

Of course, this was Vivian's home. She was just helping. In the end, Vivian decided where to place everything based on her habits.

At noon, the two were finally done.

Vivian slumped on the sofa. She was drained when she said, "I used to have a maid at home do all these chores. I've never been so tired."

Luca smiled.

The Lacroix family was affluent, so they had maids for everything.

"How does it feel to do it yourself now?" Luca asked.

"I feel tired... However, I'm full of hope for my upcoming life. After all, many things here were chosen by me. I can understand why Ray didn't agree to it when I proposed to study in A City on my own." Vivian

sat up and handed Luca one of the milk bottles.

"Thank you." Luca took it and asked, "Why didn't he agree?"

"We had maids to do everything that we just did. Ray was probably worried that I wouldn't survive living alone, so he didn't agree." Vivian smiled bitterly.

She was so well-protected. Ray had disagreed instantly when she mentioned she wanted to study abroad. They were in a headlock because she refused to let the family's maid and bodyguard come with her.

"How did you persuade Mr. Ray, then?" Luca wondered. Ray loved Vivian with all his heart. She was curious how she ended up persuading him.

"I told him that I want to start a new life and I don't want to live being protected for the rest of my life," Vivian said as she drank a mouthful of milk. "After he heard me say that, he locked himself in the study for a long time. I thought he would continue to disagree, but unexpectedly, he came out after a while and agreed."

"Mr. Ray loves you very much." Luca put the straw into the milk and took a sip.

Ray must have taken that half a day to think about every possibility.

Vivian wanted to start a new life, but he did not want to let her out of his protection.

"Yeah, I also want to try to leave the family and start a new life on my own. Look, I did it!" Vivian smiled, her eyes gentle.

Luca could see how excited she was for her new life and said, "Give me a call if you need anything."
