The man who talked to Luca gave the other thug a look.
The other man immediately understood and tried searching for information. However, he could not find anything using A City’s intranet.
“Boss, she's just bluffing. There's nothing here!” reported the man as he handed over his phone.
Luca chuckled.
Gerry’s expression turned sour. “What's so funny?”
“I'm laughing at how clueless you guys are. You used A City’s intranet, didn't you?” asked Luca.
“Is there a difference between the internet and intranet?” Gerry was confused.
Luca was puzzled by the type of people Karen had hired. They seemed less competent than those she had dealt with before.
“I've never heard of intranet and internet. Boss, don't let her mess with you,” the other man chimed in.
Luca nodded repeatedly.
“Why are you nodding?” Gerry narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
“I'm agreeing with your friend. Satisfied?” Luca was starting to get impatient.
Gerry had a gut feeling she was not lying and continued fiddling with his phone.
Luca then said, “Trying to find information about her? You guys don't even know how to bypass the firewall. Just forget it.”
Gerry frowned, unfamiliar with the term "bypass the firewall". He looked it up online and grasped the concept, then glared at Luca.
“Is this woman really who you say she is?” asked Gerry.
“You can't find anything, but your lady boss can. Tell her what I said, then you can decide how to deal with my friend,” Luca said confidently.
Gerry quickly called Karen. “Boss!”
“Did something go wrong?” Karen asked immediately when she answered the call.
She was at the Mallory Estate waiting for someone, but that person was nowhere to be seen. However, she received a call from her subordinates, which made her think something was amiss.
“No, but we took an extra person with us. A foreign student who seems to be friends with the main target," said Gerry.
“Good job!” Karen was pleased. “Now, Luca won't dare act rashly!”
She intended to use the foreign woman as leverage.
Gerry understood what she meant and relayed Luca's words about Vivian's possible connections. “But this student's identity might be complicated…”
Karen's tone turned serious. “Bring them both back first.”
“Yes!” Gerry responded and ended the call. He could not be bothered about Vivian's true identity.
After all, this had nothing to do with him. His job was to deliver Luca to Karen and get paid.
Luca saw him hang up, but she did not press for details about Karen's response. She calmly chatted with Vivian in Russian.
“Don't worry, Mr. Crawford will soon realize we're missing, and he'll know who took us,” Luca reassured her.
Vivian nodded. “I'm not afraid.”
“The classes at the university…” replied Luca, looking troubled. As she knew who had kidnapped her, she was not scared but was worried about missing her classes. “What will happen if I miss those classes?”
“They'll probably have make-up classes on Saturday. I've been in a similar situation before where the professor suddenly couldn't make it, so we had a make-up class on Saturday,” answered Vivian.
“That's such a hassle,” Luca frowned. She hated make-up classes and figured the students would not be thrilled about them either.
Saturdays were meant for rest.
“Your situation might be different, though. Maybe you won't need to make up the classes.” Vivian knew Luca did not like make-up classes.
“That would be ideal,” said Luca.
