The next morning, when Luca prepared to go to work, she saw Nina’s car parked in front of her apartment.

She was sensitive with numbers, so she remembered Nina’s license plate. She walked up to the car and knocked on the window.

Nina rolled the window down. When she saw that it was Luca, she unlocked the car doors. “Good morning, Dr. Craw. I’m going to T Corporation to give my quarterly report, so I’m wondering if you want to hitch a ride.”

Luca did not reject the offer. She nodded, went to the other side of the car, and sat inside.

After Luca fastened her seatbelt, Nina started the car and drove toward T Corporation.

“Are you worried about something?” Luca asked.

Nina brushed her hair and said awkwardly, “You noticed it?”

“I can see that you were thinking about something. If I hadn’t recognized your license plate, you probably wouldn’t have realized that I left the apartment,” Luca said. She knew that Nina was waiting for her, but Nina did not realize Luca was outside. That was why Luca thought that Nina’s mind was occupied with something.

Nina sighed and said, “I’m worried about you. That useless brother of mine seems to have set his sights on you. I didn’t lie to you when I said that I have to go to T Corporation to hand in my quarterly report, but I’m also worried that he might stalk you. That’s why I waited for you here, and I can give you a ride too.”

Yesterday, she had received a call from the care worker.

After Nina left, Anna and Jean discussed how to trick Nina so that they could obtain Luca’s phone number and address. The care worker was employed by Nina, so she had the obligation to tell her employer what was going on.

“Don’t worry,” Luca said. She knew that Nina was concerned about her.

“Sigh, you probably don’t know that my brother isn’t an honest person. He has friends who can find out where you live if they want. If he hasn’t changed, I’m genuinely worried about you,” Nina said worriedly. None of that would have happened if she had not offered to send Luca home.
