Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1963

Mrs. Laurel smiled and shook her head. “Of course not. Ms. Luca was the one who made the coffee. It’s good, right? I watched her make the coffee in the kitchen this morning. She was a professional.”

“It’s good, but we’ve completed our work today. I’ll have a glass of juice too, just like Tina,” said Jason. That explained why the coffee had a rich taste and aroma. It was Luca who made the coffee.

“Alright. Just a moment.” Mrs. Laurel turned around and returned to the kitchen to prepare juice for them.

Tina sat on the sofa and asked Jason, “Mr. Doyle, should we ask Dr. Craw to come down?”

She reckoned that Luca must be upstairs.

“Dr. Craw must be busy now. Why don’t you go and ask her?” Jason could not be bothered, and he thought if Luca was still in love with Luke, she must be feeling bad after everything she did.

“What if she’s in the midst of something?” Tina shook her head, afraid that she would disturb Luca.

“Then just sit here quietly,” said Jason. He picked up the phone and asked, “I’m going to book a flight ticket for Dr. Craw. Do you have her identification number?”

“Wait a second. I have to ask someone to check for me on the office’s computer,” said Tina. She picked up her phone and asked her colleague.

After a while, Tina said, “They’ve sent the information to you.”

“Thank you.” Jason used Luca’s identification number to book the flight ticket successfully.

Mrs. Laurel carried two glasses of juice and placed them in front of Jason and Tina. She asked caringly, “Have you finished handling your work?”

"Only for the time being. We still have a lot of work to do after this," answered Jason. Mrs. Laurel was from Crawford Manor, and Jason recognized her. She had been serving Old Master Crawford for a long time, and she was his favorite.

“That means Mr. Crawford and the both of you are very capable. People like you are always busy. You’ve worked hard. Would you like to stay for dinner? I’ve learned some culinary skills from Ms. Luca, and I know some herbal remedies. I’m sure you’ll feel refreshed after having the food.” Mrs. Laurel invited them for dinner.

She did not need to get Luke’s permission on certain things.

Even if Mrs. Laurel asked them to stay for dinner, they would not do so either. Hence, Mrs. Laurel was only putting on a show.

Sure enough, Jason shook his head and replied, "Thank you for the invitation, but I'm sorry, I can't stay for dinner. Sue has been complaining that I've been busy with work. I haven’t had the time to go home and eat her home-cooked meals. So, I'm planning to dine at home tonight."

Tina would not stay if Jason was not staying too. Tina chimed in and said, “Me too. I’ve told my family that I’m going home for dinner. Thank you.”

Mrs. Laurel smiled and replied, “Alright then. Enjoy the refreshments. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll have to get back to work.”

“I’ll leave you to it. Just leave us here,” Jason replied politely.

Tina said in a low voice after Mrs. Laurel left the living room, “Mr. Doyle, do you feel uneasy?”

“We’re at our Boss’ house,” Jason replied helplessly. It would be weird if they were able to feel comfortable in Luke’s house.

"It's mostly because Dr. Craw isn't here with us," Tina said helplessly. She would feel more comfortable if Luca was here with them.

Tina was unable to make herself feel comfortable while looking at the exquisite pastries and expensive fruits in front of her. She also knew Luke was in his room.

“When did you become close with Dr. Craw?” Jason picked up a biscuit and asked.

“Close? Not really. But don’t you think Dr. Craw is a nice person?" Tina smiled. She always kept a distance from most of her colleagues at the workplace. This way, she could avoid people gossiping about her and prevent herself from getting into trouble.

However, Luca was the first person she would like to become close with.

"Dr. Craw is a nice person." Jason agreed. Luke maneuvered the wheelchair and came out of the maid's room after he said that.

“Have you booked the tickets?” Luke asked.

Jason stood up immediately and replied, "Boss, the tickets have been booked. Two first class tickets, and one economy class."

“Upgrade yours to first class. And try to arrange the other two seats in the same row.” Luke was generous to his employees, especially those who had contributed a lot.

When Jason was working on the bidding document, he even forged a fake bidding document. He deserved to get a first class seat.
