Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1121

"Alright, thank you," Ivana said. After Jason left the room, she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her pose.

Jason was staring at her earlier. She wondered if her cover was blown.

Her face had totally changed. How did they manage to recognize her?

Ivana held the glass of water and continued to wait. Fifteen minutes later, Ivana turned her head when she heard the room door open and saw Luke coming in.

"Mr. Crawford." She stood up and greeted him awkwardly.

Luke nodded. His heart skipped a beat when he noticed that Ivana did not wear any makeup.

Ivana had a seductive face, but she was different from other women. Most if not all other women would wear makeup whenever they went out of their houses.

That reminded Luke of the previous Bianca.

Before Bianca lost her memories, she did not wear any makeup unless it was an important occasion. Now, she would spend her time in front of the vanity the moment she woke up…

Luke did not remain stunned for too long. He sat down opposite her.

Ivana sat up straight. Her gaze wandered around the room and avoided the man in front of her.

Luke noticed the glass of water in her hands. "Do you want a new glass?" He asked.

"No, it's fine." Ivana shook her head. In the moments of silence, she could hear her heart beating faster.

Luke crossed her legs and looked at her. "I've read your resume, but there are a few more things that I'd like to ask."

"Please." Ivana took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Luke asked, "You mentioned that you own several research patents in Russia. Can I ask what they are about?"

"I've been researching a cure for cancer," Ivana said. Shanks was the inventor behind those patents, but she knew their contents very well.

"Do you think that you can research something better here?" Luke asked.

"Yes, I am confident." Ivana nodded. Shanks might have been the one who invented the cure, but she had helped him in his research. She did not expect that Shanks would name her as the patent holder.

Abel seemed to know that Luke was eyeing the pharmaceutical industry.

Luke thought that the determination in her eyes seemed familiar, and he began to sense something within him. He changed his sitting position and continued to ask her about her experience in pharmaceutical research.

Ivan felt slightly more at ease when Luke only asked her about work-related matters, but she could not be fully at ease.

After all, the man in front of her was Luke Crawford…

Luke and Ivana chatted for almost an hour when Jason knocked on the door and reminded Luke that the next meeting was about to begin.

Luke stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at Ivana who also stood up. He asked, "Ms. Ivana, have we ever met before?"

Ever since he saw her, he thought that she somehow seemed familiar.

"Yesterday was the first time we met." Ivana's heart started to beat faster when she heard him say that. She clenched her fists to try to calm herself down, and her fingernails dug into her palms.

"Have you been to A City before?" Luke looked at her with a profound gaze.

Ivana forced a smile and said, "I was born in A City, but our family migrated to Russia when I was very young. This is the first time I'm back in the country. I don't think we've ever met before."

Luke nodded when he thought of her middle name. "I like the name 'Luca.' I'll call you that in the future."

Ivana was taken aback as he continued, "Ms. Luca."
