"I don't want to be around him." Nina shook her head as she looked at the slightly drunk man. Although he had never pestered her during this period, a drunk man could do anything. She was unwilling to keep him company.

Luke frowned. “His driver is not here yet. It's not appropriate for him to drive after drinking so much.

And he's helping to look for Luca too. You know that. If Pierre is the one who did this, then Percy will be the quickest one to find out about it. Otherwise, we won't be able to get any news on Luca later. What if it's really Pierre who's behind this? He has the whole night to transfer Luca somewhere else.”

What Luke said was reasonable.

Nina hesitated for a moment. She was not worried about what Percy would do to her after he got drunk. She was more worried about Luca.

She was partly responsible for it if Luca was really kidnapped by Pierre. After all, if it had not been for her, Luca would not have gone against Pierre.

"Fine..." Nina sounded helpless.

Percy, who was narrowing his eyes, looked like he was drunk. However, he was just a little tipsy. He was not completely drunk. At least, he could understand what they were talking about.

He said to himself, 'Luke Crawford is a true brother.'

He knew Percy was still in love with Nina. Hence, he made this arrangement.

"Then I'll leave him to you. Ask the manager to put it on my bill when you're about to leave." Luke left the private room after that.

Nina stood still for a while. There was an awkward silence in the air. Then, she turned to look at Percy. "Are you done drinking?"

"Aren't you tired standing here?" Percy answered her with another question. It was rare to see him curling the corners of his lips into a smile.

There was a wave of burning anger in Nina's heart, but she did not know why she could not release it. She had no idea how and where that anger came from.

It was tiring to stand for so long. However, she was able to think more when she was tired.
