Nina shook her head. She thought that they would make a cute couple but she was in a dilemma when she was reminded of Bianca, who was still abroad.

Nina looked at the closed door, then sat on the sofa. Before long, the doorbell rang again.

"Did you forget something?" She thought it was Luca, so she opened the door without looking into the peephole.

When she saw that the person standing outside the door was Percy, Nina subconsciously wanted to slam the door shut.

However, Percy moved fast and pressed himself against the door. The strength between them was so disparate that Nina could not close the door.

"What are you doing here?!" Nina stared at the person in front of her.

Percy lifted the bag in his hand and said, "I bought you some fruits."

"I don't want them." Nina refused angrily. 'Isn't Mallory Corporation about to go bankrupt? Why has he appeared in front of me three times in the last two days...'

Percy leaned against the door with a relaxed expression as if it did not take much effort from him to do so. "I bought all of your favorite fruits."

Nina was surprised. 'My favorite fruits? How does he know what I like to eat?'

She glanced at the bag and saw that the fruits in the white bag were indeed all her favorites. However, how did Percy know?

When they were together, he had never asked her what she liked to eat. Most of the time, he gave her what he thought was good.

She never had to share her opinion nor express whether she liked it or not. All she could do was to accept it.

That included everything she ate and used...

Day after day, it was still the same. At that time, she almost thought that she was just one of his playthings, no, maybe not even a plaything.

She was like a puppet that just accepted what he gave her.
