Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2727

Luke originally wanted the stylist to give her a more glamorous look, but after listening to her opinion, he went with her idea.

She looked pretty even with a simple look.

Luca felt his eyes on her, and she started breathing faster.

“Mr. Crawford, the ceremony is about to begin,” Luca reminded softly. If they stayed in here any longer, people would start to misunderstand.

Mo knew that she was inside.

With a guy and a girl were alone in a lounge, it would be hard for other people to not overthink.

“What did you just call me?” Luke narrowed his eyes to show dissatisfaction. Was she using this alienating title on purpose to keep her distance from him?

“This is a public setting, and the people from Watson Biopharmaceuticals are inside.” Luca knew that calling him that would upset him, so she had to explain.

“Uh-huh.” Luke was still unhappy.

What did those people have to do with him?

She was his beloved wife.

“Luke…” Seeing his expression, Luca had no choice but to compromise and call his name.

The knit in Luke’s brows loosened up, and he showed a little smile. If someone saw her face right now, they would have thought that Luke was bullying her.

How could he ever bully her?

He just did not like Luca being all timid and cowardly.

She was supposed to be the woman next to him. The confidence and aura she worked so hard to build up in the past should not be dimmed down by such cowardice…

“Is there a reason why you called me in here?” Luca asked.

“I just wanted to see what the stylist had done for you,” said Luke. Although he could see it outside, there were too many people, and he did not want to be distracted by others when he was focusing on her.

Therefore, he hid in this lounge and asked Mo to bring her in.

“You could’ve just looked at me outside.” Luca did not understand why he did this.

“There are too many people outside. I wouldn’t be able to see clearly.” Luke held her hand and complimented her, “You’re beautiful. You look great.”

“Now that you’ve seen me, I’ll go out, then.” Luca blushed at his compliment and withdrew her hand before walking out without waiting for his permission.

She could not go out with Luke at the same time. Otherwise, it would cause a commotion.

Luke could not help but shake his head as he watched Luca push open the door of the lounge and walk out. She was shy…

After all these years, she was still the same girl back in high school who would blush at just a glance from him.

…

Luca returned to her seat.

When people saw her, they started surrounding her again. Mo said, “Everyone, please return to your seats. The ceremony is about to begin.”

When they heard her, they all stopped and went back to their seats.

Luca gave Mo a nod as her words saved her a lot of trouble.

Mo nodded back, and then she heard Dr. Jackson come over to ask, “Is Mr. Crawford not coming?”

“He’s coming. He’ll be here in about five minutes,” said Mo after glancing at the time.

“Very well, then. Ms. Stone, please tell the hotel manager to get ready to serve the food,” said Dr. Jackson. Although this was a celebration dinner, it was also a team-bonding activity.

The banquet hall became much livelier all of a sudden.

Luca ate silently while watching Luke closely from the corner of her eye as she was worried that he might do something to cause a commotion at the table.

Luke noticed that she was looking at him and knew what she was worried about. Although he was not happy with the current situation, he still had to endure it. After taking a bite of the food, he said, “The food here is delicious. Dr. Jackson, did you choose this hotel?”

After asking Luca for her opinion and knowing that she did not have anything in mind, he had Mo and Dr. Jackson decide on the place and menu.

“Yes, Mr. Crawford. My wife likes the food in this hotel the most, and we come here every month. That’s why I chose this place.” Dr. Jackson was secretly happy to hear his approval.

The position of head of department had been vacant ever since Dr. Cole got fired. Dr. Albus was most likely to be promoted to the position, but things happened before he even got appointed.

Now that Luke approved of him, there seemed to be hope for him to become head of department.

“Very good.” Luke did not say anything else.

After almost all the dishes were served, Mo walked over to remind Dr. Jackson, “Dr. Jackson, the hotel manager said that almost all the dishes are served. Do you think that the award ceremony can start now?”

“Yes, let the people in public relations get ready.” Dr. Jackson got a tissue to wipe his mouth and said to Luke with a smile, “Mr. Crawford, I have some work to do. It’s time to give awards to Dr. Craw and her team.”

Luca was shocked to hear that an award ceremony was part of the schedule.

Did that mean that she had to go on stage?

Luca had no clue.

After seeing how shocked Luca was, Luke chuckled.

After hearing the sound of laughter, Luca frowned at him.

“Dr. Craw, I had you dress up because you had to go on stage to give a speech.” Seeing her face, Luke knew that she must not care too much about this event.
