Chapter 193 Did You Rob a Perfume Store?
After seeing the illegal brothel in Paris for himself, Luke had felt satisfied for days after killing the criminals.
But that wasn’t true happiness. The gloom and violence had been building in his heart, until he went on that trip with Elena.
Her youth and her enticing body were the best medication.
Elena’s pain and pleasure allowed Luke to release the dark feelings in his heart.
He felt rather guilty toward Elena, although she might not have thought of it as suffering.
Naturally, Luke had to give the girl something for her tremendous help.
It made sense to get something for Elena with the illegal money he had obtained in Paris.
He would have bought her a necklace worth 500,000 euros if not for the fact that it might potentially cause her trouble given how expensive it was.
A necklace worth 150,000 euros, on the other hand, was luxurious but not outrageously so. It was perfect.
After all, nobody except Elena would know that the necklace was from him.
Actually, his plan at the beginning was to give Elena a gold pig.
But after imagining Elena holding and examining a pig, Luke couldn’t take it.
Elena was an art student. She deserved something a little more classy!
The point was that there wasn’t any other gold merchandise in the store apart from that gold pig.
The boss had only put out this gold pig, which was worth more than 100,000 euros, in his store because he thought that it might bring him good fortune.
As Luke reflected on his trip to Paris, he and Elsa arrived in Los Angeles at midnight.
Elsa simply told Luke to check in at the police department the next day, before she took a cab home.
She was still suffering from jet lag. She was exhausted even though she had gotten a few hours of sleep on the plane.
Luke also went home. He took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning, Luke was woken up by Selina.
Looking at Selina, who was still in her pajamas as she prodded him, Luke said helplessly, “Don’t you think we should have boundaries?”
Selina wasn’t bothered when she bent her head to look at her breasts. “Seriously? Haven’t you seen me in my bikini in the ‘bathtub?”
Luke could only admit that he had.
Sitting up on the bed, he yawned. “Fine. So tell me, why are you still in your pajamas and in my room?”
Selina said, “You’re back from Paris.”
Luke nodded his head. “That’s right.”
Selina stared at him in silence.
Luke raised his hands in surrender. “Fine. The gifts are in my suitcase. You can take them out.”
Selina cheered and opened his suitcase.
She knew that there had to be gifts inside, but she wouldn’t dig around Luke’s personal stuff without his permission, just like how Luke barely touched her things or entered her room.
Looking at Selina, who was crouched on the floor, Luke leaned against the headboard and enjoyed the beautiful view.
Selina was wearing pajamas but no bra. It was why Luke had called her out earlier.
After enjoying a few days with Elena in Paris, Luke certainly wouldn’t reject another beautiful view.
Selina couldn’t care less.
It was like she said – she had worn less before in the bathtub, aka the pool.
“Wow! So much perfume! Did you rob a perfume store?” Selina found a bunch of perfume bottles.
Appreciating how her breasts bounced with excitement, Luke said casually, “They’re not all for you.”
Selina was disappointed. “Huh? Not all for me?”
Luke chuckled. “You do know that different perfumes are designed for different people, right? I bought that Dior J’adore for Catherine. Lancome Miracle and Chanel Chance are for you. That bottle of Glow by JLO is also yours. Miss Dior Chérie Blooming Bouquet, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, and Kenzo Flower are for Claire. Dior Addict is for Jimena.”
Selina slowly turned her head around in shock. “Oh my god. You’ve become a perfume expert after one trip to Paris?”.
Luke rolled his eyes. “As if. That’s what the clerk told me. She repeated the names so many times, there’s no way I could forget them. Alright, take your gifts and use whatever you want today.”
Selina returned to her room with her three bottles of perfumes.
Luke got up unhurriedly to make breakfast in the kitchen.
But the moment he opened the fridge, he yelled, “Selina, where’s the food I made for you?”
After a moment of silence, Selina replied, “Ah, darling, I finished it.”
Luke slapped his forehead.
He calculated that he had prepared enough food to last Selina half a month. But the food was gone already?
Selina soon ran into the kitchen, a foaming toothbrush in her mouth. “Well, I may have had slightly more food in the past twelve days since I had nothing to do at home. Oh, crap. I just swallowed some toothpaste. Ugh!”
Luke realized that she had a point.
His trip to Paris with Elsa was supposed to be for ten days, but on the ninth day, Dustin had let him know to take two more days. So, it was the morning of the thirteenth day right now.
It wasn’t too unbelievable that Selina had finished off food meant for fifteen days in twelve days.
Like she said, she would rummage for food without Luke around to supervise her.
Luke approached her and raised her T-shirt. “This doesn’t make sense. You didn’t put on any weight. Isn’t that a waste of the food?”
Selina left angrily. “You’re just jealous that I don’t grow fat no matter how much I eat!”
Luke chuckled. With seven times the strength of an ordinary person, I have way more muscles than you. Why would I be jealous of you?
In the end, Luke couldn’t find any breakfast ingredients.
The fridge was enormous, but there weren’t any eggs, bread, milk, ham, cereal or meat pies.
The only things that were edible were cheese, butter, ketchup, salad dressing, and so on.
How could he eat those? Without vegetables or fruits, he couldn’t even make a salad.
Luke had to go to work without breakfast.
