Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1887

After keeping all the documents, Luca took the laptop and walked toward the elevator.

There were a few high-ranking executives behind her, and she heard them whispering. They were all trying to guess the reason behind Luke’s foul mood.

“Perhaps his wife is flirting with another guy overseas and that’s the reason Mr. Crawford has such a terrible mood,” said one of the executives.

“I don’t think so. Didn’t they say that their relationship worsened after she lost her memory? Regardless of how much trouble she causes, it shouldn't affect Mr. Crawford’s mood.”

“That’s hard to say. According to past experience. not many can make Mr. Crawford this unhappy. Even if our proposal is terrible, he’ll just put on a dark expression and point it out. This time, he unleashed his domineering aura.”

Luca could not help but lower her eyes when she heard their conversation.

They were not wrong. No matter how dissatisfied Luke was with their work in the past, he would not behave like today…

When the elevator arrived, Luca did not enter but stepped to the side and made space for the others.

“Aren’t you going to enter, Dr. Craw?” The last executive who stepped into the elevator looked at her.

Luca shook her head and said, “I need to head upstairs, so you guys can go ahead first.”

The person heard her and pressed the button to close the doors.

Luca waited for the next elevator. At that moment, Jason came over and stood beside her, also waiting for the next elevator.

The elevator had yet to arrive. Jason looked at Luca, who was being very quiet as if Luke’s abnormal behavior did not affect her.

He could not help but feel curious and ask, “Dr. Craw, don’t you think something is off about Mr. Crawford?”

“Off?” Luca spun around and looked at him. “Isn’t he always this serious when he’s working?”

Jason heard her reply and was speechless. ‘She’s really good at putting on an act.’

“Mr. Crawford was acting unlike his usual self today. He’s unusually domineering.” Jason touched his nose. He had to be extraordinarily cautious when he was by Luke’s side today as he was afraid he might make the boss unhappy.

“Is that so?” Luca smiled.

Jason was stunned at Luca’s smile. He knew her true identity, so he did not believe that Luca had failed to pick up on Luke’s abnormality today.

‘But is she really not curious about it?’

Jason was deep in thought. Luca would probably need to face Luke’s criticisms later. He warned her beforehand, saying, “Oh, right. I’ve mentioned that Mr. Crawford is in a foul mood. If he has a bad temper later on, please forgive him.”

“The boss is upset because he’s dissatisfied with his employees’ work progress. It’s understandable.” Luca heard Jason’s hint and was puzzled.

What was his reason for saying that?

Could it be that Luca was the reason why his mood was affected?

That was impossible…

She was not Bianca but Luca.

Luca denied that possibility. When the elevator arrived, she stepped into the elevator.

Jason heard her reply and sighed. If something happened later on, he hoped the rest of them would not be involved. After all, just the project itself had already given them a lot of pressure.

Luke, who was disgruntled now, would be more demanding regarding the project’s details and the employees’ work attitude.

After the elevator arrived on the floor, Luca stepped out first. After placing her laptop and the documents back in her office, she took the translation documents that she had yet to finish and walked to the secretary’s office.

Luca took a look at the message, and indeed, it was related to Dr. Albus applying for a patent and his drug being listed.

It seemed like this was the most updated news.

Luca held her chin and thought back to Abel's words.

He wanted to make Luke misunderstand Dr. Albus and put all the blame for the leaked research on Dr. Albus…

He had ordered her to carry out this mission, which meant that there would be his people among those going for the meeting later…

Luca thought about whether she should seize this opportunity to identify that person.

After all, knowing who her enemy was would make things easier for her.

Luca looked at the time, and it was almost time for her to meet up with Luke.

She figured that she might not have to return to the office. Hence, she kept the documents in a folder and brought it downstairs. She went all the way down to the basement car park.

Luca saw Luke's car, and after heading over, she realized that he was already waiting there.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford. I'm late." She knew she was not late, but when faced with the man in front of her, she would be considered late as long as she got there after him.

Luke lifted his eyes and looked at her with a cold gaze.

Luca looked into his eyes and shuddered. Then, she lowered her head again.

After so long, she was still not used to his extraordinarily cold gaze.
