On the other hand.
In Percy's mansion.
Percy held Nina's hand and went to the cloakroom.
“What are you doing bringing me to the cloakroom in the middle of the night?" Nina looked at him smilingly with a tender look in her eyes.
"To pick out clothes for you," said Percy as he opened the closet.
Nina noticed that there were many new clothes inside, so she asked in surprise, "Did you buy these for me?"
"Yes, these clothes are suitable for more special occasions, so I had someone send a few pieces over. Have a look and see which one you like?" Percy said. He understood Nina's style. If she was not working, she would wear more casual and comfortable clothing.
However, those clothes were not suitable for a dinner party.
"What special occasion..." Nina looked through the clothes. The clothes he filled the closet with were festive and seemed like they were for more formal occasions.
"A birthday party," said Percy as he picked a pink one and held it in front of Nina.
The pink color made her features even more delicate and beautiful. When their eyes met, his heart skipped a beat.
"What birthday party? Is it your friend's?" Nina took the clothes and held them close to her body, thinking that it was for his friend's birthday party.
"No, it's the Crawford family. It's Louis' mother's birthday," Percy said.
Nina suddenly shoved the clothes at him. "You can go alone. I'm not going."
She remembered Susan's arrogance and how she had made things difficult for Bianca, which was why she did not have a good impression of her.
Plus, they must have invited the Mallory family.
If she attended with Percy and bumped into the other members of the Mallory family, it would not go down well. The Mallory family would think of their reputation and not say anything on the spot, but they would secretly make her suffer.
Nina did not want to give Percy a hard time either.
“They invited me and you." Percy took out the other clothes and handed them to Nina. “So, you can pick one.
“Why did they invite me? I'm not close to Susan..." Nina wondered without moving an inch.
“Because Old Master Mallory had said before that you're his goddaughter, so he has to put up a facade even if it's fake. Old Master Mallory had mentioned to me beforehand that it's a separate invitation." Percy held each garment up in front of her after seeing her not move at all.
Nina understood that separate invitations and attending with Percy were two different things.
Old Master Mallory admitted to her being his goddaughter in front of so many people just to save her from some trouble. It would not make sense for her to not go.
Even if that meant bumping into the Mallory family.
If she chose not to go, she would embarrass Old Master Mallory.
Old Master Mallory had done so much to help her, so she should return the favor too.
Nina took the light pink one Percy held just now and asked him, “What do you think of this one?"
“It's nice. This color suits you." Percy's eyes sparkled as he complimented her.
In his eyes, Nina was the prettiest woman and no one could compare to her.
“Really?" Nina looked in the mirror. It was simple and nice. It was a festive color too, perfect for a party.
“How fitting. I had the staff pair some accessories too," said Percy as he held her hand and walked to the dresser. Then, he opened a jewelry box.
Nina was usually pretty careless. She came into the cloakroom twice today, yet she did not realize that there were so many new things in it.
The pearl accessories caught her eye at first glance.
“So pretty," she said.
“Yup, they suit you. Wear them to the birthday party tomorrow," said Percy as he lifted an accessory and put it on Nina.
It was a new style of pearl necklace, so it was suitable for young people. The more Nina looked at it in the mirror, the more she liked it.
“I like it even more now." She kissed Percy's lips.
Percy's eyes became deep as he held onto her waist tightly, and his voice became hoarse as well. “Nina, I haven't bought anything for you in a while because I was busy. I'm sorry."
“It hasn't been long. You bought me a lot of snacks the other time," Nina remembered everything he had ever done for her.
Each time was worth remembering.
“Those were just some small stuff." Percy touched her neck and the white pearls that made her delicate swan-like neck even more exquisite.
He had the urge to kiss her and leave a mark.
“It's getting late." He lightly blew beside her ear.
Nina felt ticklish all over and shrunk her neck as her body temperature kept rising.
“Help me take off the necklace. I'm afraid of destroying it in my sleep." Her face was flushed as she touched the pearl necklace.
"It's indeed really easy fragile. Let me help you." Percy took off the necklace and carried the woman in front of him.
"Ah..." Nina did not expect his actions to be so direct.
"Let's go rest," Percy carried Nina into the bedroom.
It was nighttime. The wind and snow outside were making a racket.
However, the temperature inside kept rising.
Two people in love were whispering their love for each other into each other's ears in their own ways.
It was the following afternoon.
Luca was busy arranging the documents in her office. Once she was done with the files, she could submit them to the relevant organizations for patent application.
Zoey was familiar with the process, so she did not have Mo help her.
She could do it with just Rhett and Zoey's help.
Her phone rang with Aunt Neile's name displayed on the caller ID.
"Aunt Neile, what is it?" Luca picked up the phone and asked.
"Ms. Craw, we have a problem here. Can you come back home for a moment?" Aunt Neile sounded anxious.
"What problem? Are the kids okay?" Luca thought of the three children at home first thing and asked worriedly.
"I can't tell you on the phone. It's better if you come back.." Aunt Neile was stammering as if she was hiding something.
Luca had a bad feeling, so she immediately put the documents back into the safe. "I'll go there right now."
She immediately hung up and called Warren. "Warren, can you come to T Corporation? I need to use the car."
"Ms. Craw, I'm in the downstairs parking lot," Warren replied.
Luca frowned. Was Warren always in the parking lot? However, every time she got out of the car, he would drive away.
"Okay, I'm coming down now." Luca put on her coat and walked out of her office. She walked to the assistants' office and said to Zoey, "Ms. Davis, I need to go out for a while. Please apply leave for me."
