Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 18

The next day.

Bianca only left the house at eight o’clock.

It only took her twenty minutes to get to work via subway. At times like these, Bianca was really glad that she managed to rent a cheap place this close to the company.

When she walked out of her unit, Bianca could not help but raise her hand to try and shield her face from the rising sun.

She had not managed to sleep last night, so her eyes were really tired when she got out of bed this morning.

The sunlight was enough to make her eyes very uncomfortable.

Last night, Bianca had spent a lot of time mulling over it and analyzing all the possibilities. Why was the almighty president giving her so many gifts like this?

Were the house call and healthy feast back then really a sign of his appreciation because she helped take care of the kids for a while?

Were the imported flowers really a friendly greeting to her since she was ill?

Nevertheless, that man did not look friendly in the slightest.

She was even more stumped about the two gift boxes from last night.

Regardless, be it the lavishness of the deliveries or the surprise gift from last night, all of it made Bianca quite uneasy.

What kind of a person was Luke Crawford? What kind of a person was she?!

The former was the one-and-only president of T Group. He was not your average Joe; in fact, he was one of the kings in the business world. Most importantly, even if he was a normal guy on the streets, he would still be a man among men. He had a body that served as the envy of many, and handsome features to boot. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was the man of every woman’s dream.

On the other hand, Bianca was nothing.

If there was anything she had going for her, she could only name two things. One was that she was a woman, and the second was that she was alive.

Luke’s actions were giving Bianca a crazy idea, but it was so absurd that it made Bianca feel like she was vastly overestimating herself…

If he wanted to find a mistress, Luke would be able to find any kind of woman he liked, right?

Why would he ever want a plain Jane like her?

That made no sense.

…

Outside the neighborhood.

Bianca was about to cross the road as usual, but when she was looking across the street for cars, she saw an old cleaner wearing a yellow vest clear the trash from the rubbish bins.

The old man pulled out a box.

It was followed by another box.

One was blue and the other white.

These were the two boxes Lanie brought last night, right?

The old man crouched down and opened the boxes.

Just then, the two trendily-dressed women walked out of the neighborhood.

“Old man, did you find that?” One of the women looked like she was in her mid-twenties. She rushed over to the old man and asked him about it.

To the old man, clothes were not all that worth picking up. Even his old wife could not really wear these clothes.

A car passed by Bianca.

When Bianca next looked at the trash can, she saw that the two women had already struck a deal with the old man, asking to buy the items the old man had found.

“Here’s two hundred bucks, old man. Hang on to it!”

Once they paid the money, the two women exchanged a look before pouncing at the other box the old man was holding.

“Hold on.” Bianca walked over to them and looked at the boxes, telling the old man, “I want the clothes and this blue box. I’ll pay you ten thousand for them.”

The two women immediately looked at Bianca with some hostility.

Where did this busybody come from?!

Bianca did not feel like she was being glared at for no reason. After all, she did come here with relatively hostile intentions.

These items did not belong to her because she had rejected Luke’s gifts, but now, they belonged to this old man.
