Chapter 3452 Why They're Helping Her To Cover This Up

"I'm just making plans with a friend. No need to go into all that, right?" As Luca said, she lifted her gaze to meet Shanks.

His eyes were as deep as the ocean, and in that split second of eye contact, she felt like she was being pulled in. She suddenly felt like she had just exposed herself.
