Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1999

Russian food tasted bland to them. Hence, Luca's home-cooked meal smelled so good that it made them hungry.

Jason was looking forward to it too.

Luca walked into the kitchen and took the plates and cutleries out. Then, she placed them in front of Luke and Jason. She said, “There aren’t many ingredients and spices available here, so the food might not taste as good.”

Spices such as oregano, rosemary, and thyme were not available in the hotel.

Luca tried using Russian ingredients to prepare Western food.

There were four dishes and soup on the table. Jason swallowed his saliva and suppressed the urge to immediately pick up his spoon to grab some of them.

After all, Luke was still here. He should not be in a rush.

Luca filled their bowls with soup for them. Just then, Luke’s phone vibrated.

Luke picked up his phone, glanced at it, and said, "They’ve already decided on the meeting time."

“Boss, when is it?” Jason asked. They had been communicating with the office in the Capital for the whole day while they were busy with T Corporation’s work matters.

After all, they had to delay their return dates. Hence, they did not waste their time while they were waiting here. Otherwise, their work would pile up. When they went back, they would have to work overtime.

“The day after tomorrow.” Luke put his phone down.

“So, we’ll have to wait until the day after tomorrow,” Jason spoke hesitantly.

“Is there something you’d like to say?” Luke picked up his bowl and the spoon. Then, he took a sip of the soup. The taste of the soup was just like how it used to be. Perhaps it was because the soup did not need so many spices.

"Boss, I think the first party seems to be acting strange this time. They amended the requirements and postponed the meeting at the last minute. It seems like they’re making things convenient for some companies," explained Jason. If Jason's analysis was correct, then their efforts that lasted for a few months would be in vain.

“It could be.” Luke knew it well. However, he was not anxious about it even though they were doing such a thing.

“Boss, aren’t you worried that—”

"They're not going to decide on the winner in advance," said Luke. He was not worried about it.

Luke could briefly understand what was going on with the company.

They were making things easier for certain companies, but they could not decide who would win the bid.

That was why they postponed the meeting.

Another reason why Luke could stay calm was that he had evidence.

Jason did not say anything when he listened to Luke’s tone of voice. He knew Luke must know something about it.

Well, Luke was the boss. He had been in the business world for years. How could he not know what was going on?

Luca did not say a word. She sat down and began eating her dinner.

T Corporation was meant to fail in this competition, with or without an insider in that company.

Luke received a call from Ray after dinner.

Ray invited them over to his villa for a gathering.

Luke agreed to go over, then he looked at Luca and said, “Ray invited us to his villa to meet him.”

“Mr. Crawford, can I not go?” Luca asked. She reckoned Ray was still looking for Vivian. She was afraid that she could not help but blurt everything out if she followed them to Ray’s house.

Luca had promised Vivian not to tell anyone.

However, she could not bear to see Vivian’s family worrying about her. That was why it would be best for her not to go to Ray’s house.

“Give me a reason.” Luke did not agree right away.

“I’ve been walking the whole day. I’m tired and would like to rest,” replied Luca.

“Alright.” Luke turned to look at Jason, who was still drinking his soup. He asked, “Are you done?”

"Boss, I'm done." Jason put down his bowl immediately. He had been eating Russian food for each meal since he came here. Luca's home-cooked food was delicious.

Therefore, he was reluctant to waste any of it.

Luke threw the napkin on the table and said to Jason, "Wipe your mouth and get ready to depart."
