Tia assumed that something must have happened in Luca’s past for her to be so afraid of blood, and the murder incident at her apartment only deepened that fear.

Anyone who had a fear of blood must be hiding a dark past.

Tia thought of dredging that dark past and telling Luke. Luke would definitely stay away from Luca after that.

Arriving at that thought, she clenched her fists and picked up her phone.

Sophia knocked on her office door. “Ms. Tia, your next client is waiting for you in the consultation room. She has an appointment with you.”

Tia stopped typing on her phone. ‘I know,” she said impatiently.

“Are you going over now?” Sophia asked. Usually, patients would not mind waiting for their doctor, but Tia’s next client was someone they could not afford to offend. That was why Sophie was so nervous.

“I’ll go over in a bit,” Tia said impatiently. She was typing a message to invite Luca out for lunch.

“Ms. Tia, I don’t think you should let the client wait for too long?” Sophia said. She dared not open the door without Tia’s permission.

That was one of Tia’s hard-and-fast rules.

Losing her patience, Tia opened the door and said, “The client doesn’t have to wait if she can’t wait. We have so many consultants here. Can’t you arrange another one for her? I’m busy now.”

Sophia tucked her head into her shoulders and said, “But Ms. Tia, the client is the wife of the mayor.”

They could not afford to offend the wife of the mayor. If they did so, they would probably find it hard to survive in A City.

Tia was taken aback. Her mind had been occupied by fantasizing the illicit relations between Luke and Luca, and she had forgotten about such an important meeting.

She realized that she had to attend to the client immediately and personally. “Pour her a cup of coffee. I’ll pack up a bit and go over.”
