Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1688

Luke paused his gesture while he was turning the pages of the document. Then, he continued to read the documents as if nothing had happened. “We have to speed up the progress of the project. We’ll need a regular Russian translator, and we can’t afford any unforeseen circumstances on your part anymore.”

Luca, who read between the lines, knew that he had only sent someone to pick her up because he wanted to ensure the company’s project would go on as scheduled.

After all, translating was an essential job for overseas projects like this.

Luca nodded. She stood up with the document in her arms and said, “I got it. I’ll try my best to translate these documents.”

“Okay.” Luke did not lift his head to look at her.

Luca was upset. The person in front of her was aloof. That was his true colors, but she could not help herself from being unreasonable. She was hoping that the man in front of her could spare a little warmth for her.

However, given her identity and background now, she could not ask for it.

There was an awkward silence again because of the few simple words he said. Luca carried the folders in her arms and grasped them tightly as she watched the man do his work. She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Crawford, if there's nothing else, I'll go out to work first."

“Alright.” Luke did not make her stay.

Luca left the office with the folders in her hands. She had just closed the door when she saw Jason walking toward her. He saw Luca and asked, “Dr. Craw, has the boss arranged a job for you?”

“Yes, some translating jobs,” said Luca while she held the folders in her arms.

Jason shot a glance at the folders. He recognized the two folders. “I was the one who arranged these two folders. They’re quite thick. It’s going to be tough for you.”

"It's no big deal. Haven't you eaten yet?" Luca noticed the lunchbox he was carrying in his hands.

Jason nodded and answered, "Not yet. Everyone on this floor is working overtime. We haven't eaten yet. But this one is for the boss. You've just come out from there. Is there anything unusual about him?"

"Nothing unusual. He's the same as always," replied Luca. His tone of voice did not change even when she was questioning him.

"Alright, then I'll send over the lunchbox first. Oh, the renovation work for your office has just been completed, and the tools you need have all been arranged. You can use the office anytime you want,” Jason said.

Luca nodded and headed to the office.

Luca pushed the office door open and switched on the lights. She looked at the decorations inside. Clearly, it was just a temporary office, but Jason had decorated it like it was an office for long-term use.

She entered the office, sat down, and switched on the laptop on the table.

After working for a while, Tina stood at the door and knocked on it. She looked at Luca with a smile on her face. “Dr. Craw, may I come in?”

Luca lifted her head. She was focused on handling the documents and did not notice Tina’s arrival. Luca rose and asked, "It's you. Of course, you may come in. What's the matter?"

Tina came in. She noticed that the office was lit up when she was passing by. She knew that it must be Luca who came back to work. Hence, she came here to take a look. Sure enough, it was her.

"Nothing. I just happened to see you coming here to work even though it's already late. It must be tough on you. Oh yes, I'm going to get some coffee. Do you want some?" she asked. Everyone in their department had to work overtime during this period, and most of them relied on coffee to keep themselves awake.

Luca shook her head. “It’s alright. I’m not used to drinking coffee at night.”

“But you’ll have to work late. Are you sure you don’t need it?” Tina looked at the two folders on her table. Although there were only two, each folder was thick.

“Can you please get me a glass of juice if that’s okay with you?” Luca said. It had been a long time since she drank coffee.

She was already a light sleeper. If she continued to rely on the coffee to make her stay awake, her sleeping quality would become poorer.
