Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1437

"Mm, I'm done. I want to ask you something, and I hope I'm not disturbing you," Nina said as she looked at Luca. Luca looked so different in her work clothes.

She even had a feeling that any man could be charmed by someone like Luca…

"Don't worry about it. Should we go to my office?" Luca shook her head and said.

Nina smiled. "It's nothing important. There's a psychology conference and exhibition in A City this week. I'd like to go, and I'm wondering if you're interested."

'Psychology conference and exhibition?'

Luca was worried about Nina's mental health. It would be a good idea if she went there. She nodded and said, "Let's go, but wouldn't it be hard to gain access to the conference if you're not a psychologist? If I recall correctly, the conference is held once every two years, and it's not easy to get an invitation. We'd probably be visiting the exhibition instead."

"Don't worry. I have a way to get an invitation," Nina said.

"Alright, I'd love to go if you can get us an invitation," Luca said and nodded.

Nina was happy that Luca agreed to go with her. "See you then!" She said and left.

Zoey had been eavesdropping on their conversation. After Nina left, she said, "Dr. Craw, is that young woman Mr. Percy Mallory's… friend?"

She wanted to say "illicit lover," but she realized that Luca seemed to be very close to that woman, which was why she changed her words at the last moment.

Luca glanced at her. "You seem to be interested in gossip."

"Heh heh. I've read about their relationship in the tabloids, and I happen to remember it. Mr. Mallory is an outstanding man, and he rarely appeared in the papers. That's why I remember it very well," Zoey explained, seeing that Luca was getting displeased.

"Mm." Luca turned around and left without answering the question.

Zoey rubbed her chin as she watched Luca leave. She wondered if she had misspoken.

Luca was engrossed in a discussion with the other researchers. By the time she finished the discussion, it was already fifteen minutes past office hours.

She remembered that Tommy was waiting for her for dinner, so she asked Rhett to tidy up the documents before clocking out and leaving hurriedly.

While she waited in the elevator lobby, she sensed that the doors of the CEO's personal elevator behind her slowly opened.

Luca turned around and saw Luke standing there.

"Mr. Crawford?" Luca was surprised. The CEO's personal elevator was running on a different system from the other elevators, so the elevator should not have stopped there even if Luca pressed the button to go down.

The only explanation was that Luke had deliberately wanted to stop at that floor.

"Are you going home?" Luke asked.

"Mm." Luca maintained some distance between them.

"You're a little late today," Luke said. When he was about to go off work, he looked at the security feed and realized that Luca was still in her office.

"I'm sorry, I was in a discussion with the other researchers earlier…" Luca thought he was unhappy that Tommy had to wait at her apartment.

"I'll send you home," Luke said without any hint of accusation in his voice.
