Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 27

Bianca returned to the design department.

She had managed to throw Jean off downstairs, but she would still see Jean’s face at their workstations.

Thankfully, they were seated far away from each other.

Sue Carter watched Bianca take her seat and immediately checked her reflection in her mirror, sighing resentfully, “Both of us went outstation and stayed up all night, so why am I covered in black circles while you’re perfectly fine, Bianca?”

“What brand do you use to remove your black circles, Bianca?” asked one of her female colleagues asked anxiously.

Bianca raised her head and said a little awkwardly, “I never used one…”

“Not at all?!” Her colleague was shocked. “Are you a fairy? How could you stay up all night without black circles?! Sooob… We should throw all of the all-nighters here at the department onto you…”

Sue put her mirror aside and said teasingly, “Don’t you bully Bianca now. Her boyfriend Jean is right here protecting her!”

Everyone felt another wave of envy at Bianca!

After that little jab, though, Sue was alert enough to notice that both Bianca and Jean looked a little off.

Later, Bianca was so tired that she picked up her coffee mug to get some coffee. Sue followed behind her. When they went into the pantry, Sue made sure that there was no one outside before she approached Bianca and asked, “Did you get into a fight with Jean?”

Both of them had gone outstation to H City before and spent two days together, so Bianca had a very good impression of Sue. To her, Sue was not aloof at all and treated the newbies well.

“We broke up.”

Sue was stunned. “But it’s barely been any time since the trip! You two seemed perfectly fine in the car on the way back, so why’d you suddenly break up?”

Bianca stirred her coffee, depressed…

“Okay, okay. You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to.” Sue felt somewhat awkward. After all, Bianca must be really upset right now, yet she just had to bring it up.

“Couples argue all the time. Just give yourselves some time to calm down, and you’ll be a match made in heaven again in a few days,” Sue tried to comfort her.

Bianca shook her head.

Sue did not dare to say anything more. After all, they had only just gotten to know each other, so she could not pry into Bianca’s private affairs too much.

That noon, Sue wanted to invite Bianca out to lunch, but Nina was one step ahead of her. That was fine; Sue knew that Nina was Jean’s sister, so the two future sisters-in-law should be able to talk about it more openly.

On the way to the cafeteria, Nina sighed. “I don’t know what on earth happened to my brother. Why the heck would he believe what that sl*t Marie says?”

Bianca laughed it off. “Forget it.”

The more Bianca forced a laugh, though, the more Nina thought she had been hurt. “Don’t give up on my brother so easily, Bea. Since that b*tch wants to make some drama, two can play at that game!”

Just then, Bianca’s phone rang.

It was the head of the design department, Aimes.

“The head’s calling,” Bianca said to Nina in a whisper.

Nina nodded and let Bianca take the call.
