“Mm, I’m done. I want to ask you something, and I hope I’m not disturbing you,” Nina said as she looked at Luca. Luca looked so different in her work clothes.

She even had a feeling that any man could be charmed by someone like Luca…

“Don’t worry about it. Should we go to my office?” Luca shook her head and said.

Nina smiled. “It’s nothing important. There’s a psychology conference and exhibition in A City this week. I’d like to go, and I’m wondering if you’re interested.”

‘Psychology conference and exhibition?’

Luca was worried about Nina’s mental health. It would be a good idea if she went there. She nodded and said, “Let’s go, but wouldn’t it be hard to gain access to the conference if you’re not a psychologist? If I recall correctly, the conference is held once every two years, and it’s not easy to get an invitation. We’d probably be visiting the exhibition instead.”

“Don’t worry. I have a way to get an invitation,” Nina said.

“Alright, I’d love to go if you can get us an invitation,” Luca said and nodded.

Nina was happy that Luca agreed to go with her. “See you then!” She said and left.

Zoey had been eavesdropping on their conversation. After Nina left, she said, “Dr. Craw, is that young woman Mr. Percy Mallory’s… friend?”

She wanted to say “illicit lover,” but she realized that Luca seemed to be very close to that woman, which was why she changed her words at the last moment.

Luca glanced at her. “You seem to be interested in gossip.”

“Heh heh. I’ve read about their relationship in the tabloids, and I happen to remember it. Mr. Mallory is an outstanding man, and he rarely appeared in the papers. That’s why I remember it very well,” Zoey explained, seeing that Luca was getting displeased.

“Mm.” Luca turned around and left without answering the question.
