“Of course, you're welcome. Have a seat. Do you want tea or juice?" Luca asked. She knew that Nina had trouble sleeping, so she forwent coffee as an option because it was already late in the afternoon.
"I'll have juice," said Nina.
"Alright, one moment. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there are any snacks I can bring you." Luca nodded and walked into the kitchen. She had the maid squeeze some juice, while she brought out some snacks to the living room and placed them in front of Nina.
"The juice will be done in a bit. Why don't you try the snacks first?" she said.
"Sure, I haven't had lunch yet, so I'm a bit hungry." Nina picked up a piece and helped herself.
"Why didn't you have lunch?" Luca asked out of curiosity.
Nina swallowed a mouthful of the snacks before taking her time to explain, "I planned to go to Mr. Louis' house directly so that we could make it for the luncheon, but Percy had an emergency meeting, so we stopped by the Mallory family's place. The meeting went on for a long time, and it lasted until the afternoon, so we rushed over here after the meeting. We thought that we could at least have some dessert, but you weren't there, so I came here without eating anything."
"I'll go get you some more." Luca stood up to get her more snacks.
"No need, this is enough." Nina was embarrassed as she came here to chat with Luca and not to freeload on their food.
"This biscuit has a pretty strong coconut aroma. Isn't this your favorite flavor?" Luca said with a smile and walked into the kitchen to get her more biscuits.
Nina froze as she stared at the snacks on the table.
There was a brand of biscuits that she liked a lot, and it was the coconut-flavored biscuits, which were her favorite.
How did Luca know that?
Nina was certain that she had never mentioned to her that she liked these coconut-flavored biscuits.
It was impossible for Luke to know what she liked, so how did Luca know that she liked these biscuits specifically?
Luca knew her as if they had been best friends for many years, and she understood her preferences well too.
Luca walked out of the kitchen with a tray and sat beside Nina. When she saw her pensive look, she asked, "What is it?"
Nina came back to her senses and saw that she came out with more of the coconut-flavored biscuits as well as two glasses of fruit juice. She asked straightforwardly, “Luca, how do you know that I like these coconut-flavored biscuits?"
Luca was stunned. This brand of biscuits had been produced for many years, and it was rather pricey, but Nina had always liked this biscuit.
She still remembered that Nina did not have much allowance before she graduated, so every time she got her salary from her part-time job, she would buy a packet of it to reward herself.
She always said that this brand of biscuits had a strong coconut aroma and just the right amount of sweetness, so it was great for a small snack.
Luca even joked before that if a guy were to pursue Nina with a bouquet of these biscuits instead of flowers, Nina would say yes.
However, these were all things from the past. They were things that Bianca knew, not Luca.
After seeing Nina's suspicion, Luca had no choice but to come up with an excuse. "I saw a lot of this flavor of biscuits at your house, so I guessed that you must like them very much."
Nina nodded. She liked them so much that when she finally had money after she graduated, she often kept them at home to have as snacks, and sometimes even for lunch when she was feeling lazy.
Percy even teased her for it, saying that she was addicted to these biscuits.
Nina thought that Luca must have guessed it after seeing them on the coffee table when she came over to her house.
She was surprised at how detailed Luca was.
"I do like this biscuit a lot, and I loved it when I was in school. I still remember that Bian..." Nina paused as she felt that it was better not to mention Bianca's name because of Luke and Luca's relationship. She was good friends with Bianca, so she should not support Luke and Luca being together,
However, Percy told her not to worry about it too much and let things run their course because she would know the truth one day. Thus, she paused abruptly.
"Huh?" Luca looked at her and wondered why she stopped in the middle of her sentence.
Nina smiled. "A good friend of mine knew that I like these biscuits, so she used to buy me some whenever she got her allowance although her family wasn't very well-off. The allowance she got was very little, but she would still buy it for me.."
Luca looked down. Was Nina talking about her?
Nina said, "Although we weren't rich at that time, I still miss those days. The carefree days as students when we dreamed about getting rich after graduating to have a good life... We used it as motivation to study hard and find a good job. That way, we can buy what we want to eat and wear what we like. It was such a wonderful time."
"School days were indeed wonderful." Luca sighed, Although life was hard at that time, she had family members who loved her and genuine friends.
However, it was all in the past. Although they wanted to go back, they did not have the ability to.
"Luca, what were your school days like?" Nina asked suddenly. When the topic was brought up, she realized that she did not know much about Luca.
However, she felt an inexplicable familiarity with Luca.
“My time as a student was about the same as yours. It was plain and boring, so I have nothing much to share, but like you said, the simplicity of those days as a student was wonderful," said Luca. The majority of her days in school were spent with Nina.
The Langdon Family were not considered rich at the time, but they were comfortable.
The reason why Nina did not get much allowance was that her parents gave it all to Jean as they thought that their son was going to support them later in life.
It was funny how they treated Nina so badly, and they were still a burden to her now...
Luca then changed the subject. "By the way, how's your mother and brother doing?"
Nina smiled and shook her head. "If I say I don't know, would you believe me?"
"I would." Luca nodded. Anna was easily satisfied. As long as she had money, she would not make a fuss.
However, she was also hard to please because she would squander all the money. Thus, a small amount would not be able to satisfy her.
"She hasn't looked for me ever since she signed the agreement and took the money. I haven't been bothered to find out what she's up to as it would be the same anyway. Out of sight, out of mind. I just hope that she can hold onto the money longer and spend it slower. If she gives it to Jean, it'll be gone in no time." Nina sipped her juice.
