Percy did not seem satisfied with Nina's answer. "You didn't tell me that."
"I forgot," Nina said impatiently. She did not forget, but she did not want to report everything to him. That made her look as though she were his pet.
She was human, not Percy Mallory's pet.
Percy spoke nothing for the next three seconds. He thought that she was behaving erratically because she had something on her mind, so he said, "Alright, it's good to hear that you're eating your meals. I'll be back late because I have some work to do. Remember to go to bed early. If you can't sleep, take your sleeping pills."
Nina was not sure how to feel after hearing his words of concern. "Mm," she replied and ended the call.
Luca watched Nina take off her Bluetooth headset. She asked, "Was that your boyfriend?"
'Boyfriend?' Nina was taken aback, then she chuckled self-deprecatingly. Many people thought that Percy was her boyfriend, but he was actually not. What bound them together was a shameful transaction.
"No," Nina said, thinking that it would not be too long before Percy would be out of her life forever.
Once Percy was officially engaged to Ms. Johnston, Nina would automatically leave. Even though she had been his illicit lover for many years and her heart had already gone numb, she still had her principles.
She did not mind that she was unhappy, but she was not going to linger around and bring unhappiness to other women.
Percy was never going to find happiness if she clung to him.
From that reply, Luca was even more sure that she did not enjoy a healthy relationship with Percy. Perhaps that was the main cause of her depression.
Nina arrived at the destination and looked around her. "Is this the place?"
"Yes." Luca nodded, unfastened her seatbelt, and took out her phone. "Can I add you as a friend on Facebook?"
Nina was quite surprised by the question. She did not expect Luca to ask that after their first meeting, though she did not oppose the idea. "Sure," she nodded and said.
After adding each other to their contacts, Luca opened the car door. Before she stepped out, she said, "Drive safe on your way back. Send me a message when you reach home. It's getting late."
Nina was caught in a daze as she watched Luca close the door. Bianca used to say the same thing.
She suddenly had the urge to talk to Bianca. It had been a long time since they contacted each other…
With that thought, Nina dialed Bianca's number. The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked it up.
…
Two days later, the IT department of T Corporation finally managed to fix all the flaws in the network security system. At the same time, they also upgraded the servers' operating system.
The department manager gave Luke a detailed report in the CEO's office.
While fixing the flaws, they also found traces of attacks from other IP addresses in the network logs. The department manager dared not keep it a secret from Luke, so he reported that to him as well.
Luke's expression darkened when he heard that. "Are you telling me that none of you discovered all those attacks on our network?"
