After leaving the restaurant, Luke and Luca got into the car together and left.

Lliam was driving in front, stealing glances at his boss. After a moment's pause, he spoke up, "Boss, I just saw Madam Mallory."

Worried that Luke might misunderstand, he added, "Karen Ruiz."

"Mhm, I know." Luke nodded and turned to look at Luca. "Are you really okay?"

“Why did you suddenly lose faith in me? Not just anyone can harm me. Madam Mallory doesn't have what it takes,” replied Luca. Even the man who was with Karen might not be able to lay his hands on her.

"Well, as long as you're not hurt... But since she has this idea, she won't give up easily. You still need to be careful," reminded Luke, sensing that Karen might resort to force to coerce Luca.

Luca nodded. Karen knew she might be able to help Pierre with his recovery, so she would not give up easily, which meant she might have other plans.

Still, whatever her plans were, she could not harm Luca.

Thus, Luca was not too worried. "Usually, Warren picks me up from work. I doubt anything will happen. Besides, she can't really insist on having me perform dry needling on Pierre without also worrying that I'd harm him."

She had made this clear in the restroom just now.

"Well, if anything happens in the future, the first thing to do is—"

"The first thing is to inform you," Luca interrupted with a smile and finished Luke's sentence.

Luke gave her a helpless look.

If it were not for the incident with the restroom mirrors, Luca probably would not have told him that Karen had followed them here.

She had not said anything when she came back from the restroom. When she knew Nina was going to the restroom and had to act as a bodyguard, Luke knew she was not planning to tell him.

"I didn't intend to hide it from you either, but Mr. Mallory was there. If I had said it then, I was afraid Mr. Mallory would go looking for Madam Mallory. After all, it was their family matter, and there was no need to make a scene in public.
