Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2366

“His actions made me even more annoyed.” Mavis frowned as she felt even more disgust for that person.

Molly shook her head and bought two boxes of calcium tablets. “You just hate when people make a move on you first. I think he’s not bad, but you’re disgusted just because he took the initiative. Don’t tell me that after so many years, you’re still hanging onto that cold Mr. Crawford?”

Luca was looking at a magazine, but as soon as she heard ‘Mr. Crawford’, her attention was diverted over there.

At the mention of Luke, Mavis’ eyes showed emotions of a broken heart as she was bound to be at the mercy of Luke.

Although she had not met Luke for a long time, every dream she had was related to him. Her longing and love kept increasing with every news report about him.

Many people had pursued her over the years, but none of them were as outstanding as Luke.

Mavis would not settle for just anyone, so she regarded all those men as playboys and ignored them.

Her heart was already occupied. Although she was aware that comparing those guys to Luke was a bit unfair, she could not help it. Ever since she met him, all she could think about was how great he was.

This was despite him being cold and never showing her any affection.

Was the perfect teamwork they had at work not much more meaningful than love?

Mavis liked strong characters who rose above everyone else, unlike her admirers, who thought highly of themselves after achieving a little success in their respective fields. They thought that they were worthy of her.

However, they were not worthy of her at all!

After noticing Mavis’ silence, Molly knew the answer and let out a long sigh. She handed her selected supplements and credit card to the staff member and said, “I want to gift them, so please wrap them up nicely.”

“No problem. Please wait in the resting area for a while.” The staff member took the supplements and swiped the card before proceeding to wrap the gifts.

Molly nodded and took Mavis’ hand as they sat at the table next to Luca.

“Mavis, it’s been five or six years. Why are you still so deadset on this?” She looked at her best friend resignedly.

Over the years, she had seen many young talents pursue her best friend, yet she only had eyes for Luke as if she was stuck in a trap.

She had nothing to do with that man, yet Mavis still liked him so much even though she never got a response from him. Besides, it had been a long time since the two met. Mavis held her phone and stared at her chat history with Luke while in a daze,

Molly thought that they used to have something going on between them other than work, which was why she wanted to see the chat logs. If Luke had really done something bad to her, then as her best friend, she would definitely help her.

However, when she saw the chat logs, she realized that the content was all work-related.

Luke had never said anything remotely flirtatious to Mavis.

Moreover, he never gave Mavis a chance to say anything flirtatious too. He would ignore her whenever she brought up even the tiniest private matter.

Molly had to admit that Luke handled this very well without taking advantage of Mavis.

Even then, Mavis still could not stop thinking about him after so long.

Molly could not comprehend it as other than them being in a supervisor and subordinate relationship, there were no romantic memories or flirtatious conversations between them.

Yet, Mavis had wasted almost a decade of her life just like that.

How many years of youth did a woman have?

Mavis started working at T Corporation ever since she graduated. She was very capable, so she was promoted early and became Luke’s right-hand woman.

According to her, that was when she developed feelings for Luke.

Molly did the math in her head. It had indeed been a decade.

A decade of youth was wasted. Mavis was still pretty and attractive, so she had a lot of admirers, but they all could not get her approval. As great of a man they were, they would go for other women after getting rejected by her.
