Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1194

Talia felt unhappy when she remembered the scene where Luca stepped into the CEO's car.

She thought that she was quite beautiful, and she was younger than Luca, so why did Luca manage to seduce Luke, while she had to settle for someone like Cole?

Talia glanced at Cole, who was driving, and said emotionally, "I didn't expect that the rumors were true. I pity Mrs. Crawford now."

Cole would hear a hint of pretentiousness in her words. "It'll serve you well to leave them alone."

"Ah, I'm just saying." Talia could sense his unhappiness and realized that she had misspoken.

She thought that she was the same as Luca. Both of them have sold their bodies in exchange for their jobs.

Luke was married, and so was Cole.

When Talia approached Cole, she promised him that she would not interfere with his family life. That was why Cole was willing to give Talia a chance.

Talia's words earlier reminded Cole that he was having an affair too.

She smiled apologetically and hoped that he would forget about it.

…

Meanwhile, Luca sat in the passenger seat with her fingers clasped together tightly.

She stole a glance at Luke's side profile and took a deep breath, filling her lungs with his scent.

Inexplicably, her heart began to beat faster, and her cheeks reddened.

"What do you want to tell me, Mr. Crawford?" She asked.

"Why don't you want to join the party?" Luke did not look at her. Instead, his eyes were transfixed on the road ahead.

It was the evening rush hour, so the roads were slightly congested.

"I'm not good at socializing," Luca explained. "People only drink alcohol and chat at parties like that. I'm not too interested."

"You have to go." Luke did not ask for her opinion.

Luca wanted to refuse, but she could not. He was the boss, and she would have to obey. She nodded and said, "Alright, I'll attend the party. You can drop me at the intersection ahead, Mr. Crawford. I'll take a cab home."

"I'll send you home," Luke repeated. His hands gripped tightly on the steering wheel, and he did not look like he was going to turn it.

Luca gripped the seatbelt. "Aren't we done talking?"

"Not yet." Luke gazed at her.

His gaze was not as penetrating as before. Luca could see the gentleness in his eyes, which made her gasp for breath. She composed herself before saying, "Do you have any other questions?"

Luke was frustrated when he sensed the impatience in her voice. Why was she so afraid to be with him?

"Do you know about Belpharma?" He asked.

"I've heard of them. As far as I know, they're one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the country," Luca replied. She could not say that she did not know about them. It would be quite ridiculous for a researcher in the industry not to have heard of them.

"How about their CEO?" Luke asked.

"I know about the company, but I'm not too sure about its internal structure," Luca shook her head and said.

"Their CEO is called Abel, and he's also Russian. Apparently, he's very famous in his country. You've at least heard of him, right?" Luke asked.

Luca cast her gaze downward to hide her emotions. Should she say she knew who Abel was or not?
