Luca did not think that the cleaning lady had any intention of buying spoiled ingredients to deceive her.

The cleaning lady nodded while she listened to her. She could not help but secretly exclaim how considerate Luca was.

After all, she would have to buy many ingredients to make hotpot. If she came here to buy the ingredients alone, it would be a problem for her to carry everything back to the apartment although it was not far away from here.

The cleaning lady pushed the trolley and asked, “Ms. Craw, how many people are you inviting over to have hotpot?"

"It's just me," said Luca.

"Huh?" The cleaning lady thought she heard it wrongly.

Luca knew why she was surprised, so she explained, "I'm suddenly craving for it, but I don't like the commercial flavor of hotpot sold outside. So, I plan to cook it at home."

"Okay." The cleaning lady nodded. She had no idea what the young people today had in their minds.

Luca walked in front while the cleaning lady pushed the trolley behind her. After a while, she had already picked up a lot of ingredients.

The cleaning lady looked at the ingredients in the trolley and thought that Luca would probably not be able to finish everything if she was really making hotpot for herself. She looked at Luca's skinny figure. It would take days for her to finish all these ingredients.

After Luca finished choosing the ingredients, she received a call from Nina.

"Luca, where are you?" Nina sounded like she was in a rush. At the same time, Luca noticed that it was noisy on the other end as though Nina was beside the road.

"I'm in a supermarket. What's the matter?" Luca asked.

"Can I go over to your place?" Nina said. She was avoiding Percy. Sue had just told her that Percy would be heading to Brilliant. Before she found out why, she clocked out and left immediately.

She did not even want to go back to her apartment at the thought that the man might be looking for her.
