"Okay, I will." Luca nodded. She looked closely at Nina's expression and asked, "Nina, did something happen?"

Nina asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"It's written all over your face." Luca gestured at her by pointing to her own face.

Nina had been frowning since just now, so she must have encountered something unpleasant. When Luca observed her face, she was able to tell.

Moreover, she had been friends with Nina for so many years. How could she not know?

"Yeah, something happened." Nina forced a smile.

"How about we make a trip to the cafe next door?" Luca invited her as she reckoned that Nina needed a place to vent her feelings right now.

"No, I shouldn't disturb your work..." Nina shook her head. Even though she did have the urge to get it off her chest, how could she hold up Luca's work?

"I took a leave, and my throat is aching, so I want some lemon tea," said Luca as she held Nina's hand and walked out.

Nina had no choice but to follow her.

Both of them made it to the cafe, and because they went during office hours, it was quite empty.

Luca and Nina sat in the corner of the cafe, and when the waiter came to get their order, Luca ordered a cup of lemon tea while Nina ordered a cup of fruit tea.

Only after the waiter left did Luca ask, “Tell me what happened."

"I... It's Jean.” Nina sighed and told Luca everything from Pierre giving Jean money, to the money getting stolen by Marie, and finally about Jean borrowing money from Percy.
