Luke looked at Luca, who was deep in thought. He did not know what she was thinking.

Ding! The elevator arrived at the basement parking lot.

Luca came to her senses. She wanted to refuse Luke’s offer, but Luke had already walked away. She had no other choice but to walk behind him.

She could not treat Luke like how she treated other men. Those tricks did not work on Luke.

Luca eventually caught up to Luke, and they walked to Luke’s car together. She was about to open one of the doors at the back and sit inside when Luke said, “I’m not your driver. Come and sit next to me.”

Luke had interrupted her before she could open the door.

She felt a little dejected, but this was not the time for her to hesitate. She did not want anyone else to see her, so she lowered her head, went to the side passenger seat, and sat down.

She had just fastened her seatbelt when Luke started the car and drove away.

It was the evening rush hour. If they were unlucky, their car would have to stop every few feet.

“Are you feeling nervous?” Luke noticed that she had been deliberately keeping her breathing even. He, Percy, Gale, and Rain knew how to do that.

It was a technique they had learned in their physical training to alleviate their minds from too much stress.

He did not think that Luca would have undergone the same physical training that he did, but she controlled her breathing so naturally. Luke entertained the idea of sparring with her to see how good of a fighter she was.

His words brought her back to reality. She shook her head and said, “I’m not nervous.”
