Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2034

Mr. Zac’s words caused the employees who were waiting there to stand up and greet Luke.

Luca listened to their greetings as she noticed that their gazes fell upon both of them.

Their gazes made her feel like she was being exhibited in a zoo for the public to see, and that made her uncomfortable.

If she were still Bianca and she appeared somewhere with Luke, people would still be looking at her like this.

However, at the time, she was his legally wedded wife. No matter how many stares she got, it was not like the stares she got right now.

They used their curiosity to mask their inner contempt for her.

Luca lowered her gaze and followed Jason into the room.

Mr. Zac hastily moved one of the chairs out of the way.

Jason pushed Luke to the empty seat. When he saw that there were two empty seats left, he glanced at Luca.

Luca nodded. It did not matter which seat she chose because she would have to sit next to Luke anyway. The two of them were entangled like cobwebs. No matter how hard one tried to pull them apart, they would always be connected together.

She was exasperated and helpless.

After sitting down, Jason had the waiter serve their food as the meal was booked in advance.

In no time, dishes were being served.

Since Luke was here, everyone seemed overly cautious. There was not much table talk. Even when someone was talking, it would be about the contract signing.

Luca listened to their conversation.

After getting the project, Luke would have more opportunities to travel to Russia with the employees in the future.

Being in Russia meant stepping into Abel’s territory.

Luca’s chest tightened up. Luke’s power and influence were back at home, but he was well-known abroad too. However, he had encountered trouble in Russia the last time. It would be dangerous for him to come to Russia often, even if he had Ray watching over him.

After all, Abel’s people even had the guts to infiltrate Ray’s home and drive a wedge between them to affect their harmonious relationship. This showed that Abel was planning to expand his power. Other than trying to get more money and power, he also wanted to avenge Kassy.

Luca frowned at the thought of it.

Luke was already aware of the existence of the Island of Despair and had informed Ray, so he and several underworld forces would definitely have their guards up.

What Luke did not know was that Abel’s final and ultimate goal was him.

Luca did not know how to tell or warn him.

The likelihood of her sticking by him in the future was very low anyway.

The food was bland, so Luca did not eat much.

After the meal, the group of people left together.

Jason pushed Luke’s wheelchair and walked in front. Everyone else, including Luca, walked behind them and uniformly kept their distance from the boss

Luke knew what Luca had on her mind but did not say a word. He let her keep her distance since his goal had already been achieved.

The people in the company were now starting to find out about the ‘unusual’ relationship he had with Luca.

Although this plan would make her subject to criticism and aggravation, Luke felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so.

Time after time, Luca would try to stay away from him, which he would not allow.

After returning to the hotel, Luke did not have his subordinates continue discussing work at his suite. Instead, they moved somewhere else—Mr. Zac’s suite.

Luca was still not needed, so she headed back and locked herself in the room.
