Chapter 134
Chapter 134 You’re My Superior, My Boss, My Older Brother...
When she got out of the elevator, the property's service personnel behind her said to the man by the door, "I’m very sorry, Sir. She said that she knew you."
Luke nodded.
The property's service personnel then left.
As she looked at the man by the door, Bianca asked with reservation, "Did you see my grandpa?"
She was the one who said she wanted to be out of his life, but now, she was the one who cto his door late at night to ask him things.
Bianca could not help but be reserved and feel awkward. However, she had no choice but to go through with it so that she could find Grandpa.
"What happened to your grandpa? Is he not at home?" Luke initially had his head low as he tied his night robe. When he heard her words, he raised his head and asked her.
Bianca observed his expression and eyes. She realized that he looked genuine about not knowing where her grandpa was.
The sudden drop of her heart made her feel at a loss. She shook her head and pressed the elevator button with trembling hands. She planned on heading back downstairs.
When Luke saw her pale cheeks and twinkling eyes, he went out and walked to the elevator.
When she was struggling to keep herself from crying, he threw her on the sofa and put his arms in front of her. His dark eyes were indifferent as he asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Tell me
everything now!"
There were tears in Bianca's eyes.
At that moment, the two little kids cout of their rooms.
Rainie had a white bear plushie in her arms while in a daze. She was rubbing her eyes while Lanie was so anxious that his slippers were on the wrong foot. He simply stared blankly at the strange adults on the sofa.

Lanie pursed his mouth, did not speak, and took his sister back to their rooms. Before they went back to their rooms, they glanced at Aunt Bea a few more times reluctantly...
Bianca also glanced back at the two kids.
However, she could not fake a smile for them.
Her phone rang.
Bianca immediately took it out to check as if she had been waiting for something important.
It turned out to be a voice message from Nina.
Nina had sent her a voice message, "I didn't see your grandpa. What’s the matter? Bea, is everything fine? Did your grandpa get lost? Where are you now? I'll be over right now, don't worry!"
Luke took her phone over and replied for her, "No, it's fine now."
After he said that, he took her phone and stared at her eyes that were hidden under her thick eyelashes coldly. "I’m going to get changed. Wait for me."
He took her cell phone away, so she could only wait for him.
The man probably only wore suits and ties for 365 days of the year. At any time, he could just start talking business.
When Bianca left the apartment with him, it attracted the attention of several people at the front desk.
"They're a couple, right?" a girl at the front desk asked another girl on duty.
The older girl on duty, who was busy checking information, raised her head. She looked at the two walking out and said, "They're a couple alright, but I can sense sdistance between them. Otherwise, why didn’t the woman have a key? We had to send someone to help her enter the building to look for the man. Maybe they're just lovers. Lovers on the down-low."
"Maybe they’re having a fight. From what I see anyway, the man looks totally in love with the woman. He's not how a fickle sugar daddy treats their sugar baby..."
The older girl on duty was surprised. "What kind of a joke are you saying? There are so many normal- looking girls like her out there. Where would she get the nerve to play hard to get with that man? Perhaps she's tired of life or maybe she's never been dumped before and wanted a taste of it?"
The girl at the front desk curled her lips and said to the older girl on duty," What normal-looking girl? I'd like to see you try and get a pure natural face like hers. Not ten of them, just one. If you're able to, then I'll give you an applause."
The older girl on duty stopped talking.
Luke drove the car out of the parking lot. 1
The black Range Rover stopped at the entrance of the apartment. He rolled down the window and looked at her. "The subway will stop running soon. Are you going to rent a car? If you do, I'm afraid
you’ll run out of cash soon. Even if you manage to find your grandpa, your dad's still sick and needs the money for his treatment." He forced her to get in the car and accept his help.
Whether it was before or after breaking up, she had been using her own money to pay for her father’s treatment and to support herself. This year, she had another person to take care of, her grandpa.
She was overburdened.
She had to use every penny in her purse wisely.
Bianca got into the car and silently rested her head on the car seat.
"Do you have any other relatives? Did you try to contact all of them?" Luke drove steadily and planned to send her back to her place one more tto see if the old man was back but could not get into the house.
"If I can’t contact the relative, Grandpa won’t be able to either," Bianca said after racking her brains.
In the car, Luke called his grandpa.
Old Master Crawford said that he had not seen Old Man Rayne and asked if anything had happened.
Luke dodged the question and hung up. He then looked at her. "Let’s make a police report. Don't worry, your grandpa will be fine.”
If she made a police report, the police's response would be that the case could not be opened for investigation until 48 hours after the disappearance...
Since Luke was rich, powerful, and well-connected, he only needed to call Jason to make the arrangements.
Jason went to the police station alone, explained the whole story, and handed in the photos and information of Old Man Rayne to the police.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter he drove back to her rented place, Luke walked behind Bianca as they went upstairs together.
When they opened the door and was greeted with a dark and extremely quiet place, they knew that Grandpa had not cback.
They went back downstairs again.
Luke accompanied her to every corner of the neighborhood and even went to all the streets outside the neighborhood. However, Grandpa was still not found.
It was almost at the end of September, so it got especially cold at night.
Bianca could not tell whether she was cold or if she was panicking, but her body started trembling.
The police had checked all the surveillance cameras around their neighborhood with nothing much found. There were more broken surveillance cameras than actual working ones.
"Do you think that Grandpa might have gone back to the small town?" Luke asked as he walked behind Bianca.
Bianca looked back at him, the tears in her eyes still brimming even after a few hours. Toward the end of the night, she was like a fragile and sad worm that was scared to stand head-on with anyone in the world.
Luke stepped forward and grabbed her small hands with his big hands. He wrapped them tightly and pointed at the car parked by the side of the street in the distance. He said calmly, "Let's go back to the small town to have a look. We’ll leave this place to the police."
Bianca had no other choice.
On the way back to the small town, Luke insisted on giving her his suit jacket.
She was actually really cold.
"Sleep. I'll wake you up when we’re there." Luke lit a cigarette and rolled down the window to let the smoke out.
Since he was driving late at night, he had to smoke to keep himself awake.
Bianca closed her eyes for a while, then opened them again. Every tshe could not sleep late at night, she always tried to change her love for Luke into a love between family members. 2
That way, there would not be any guilt.
The man who was concentrating on driving noticed that she was having a hard tsleeping. He asked, "What are you thinking about?"
She looked at Luke and calmly said, "I'm thinking that... You’re my superior, my boss, and maybe, I can think of you as my older brother...” 4
The driving man flicked the ash into the car ashtray. As if he had heard a joke, his cold lips said softly, "Older brother? Are you sure you want an older brother who wants to sleep with you every day?"
