Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2804

”What’s with that look?” Luke closed the file and looked at her.

He skimmed through all the documents without looking at them carefully.

Luca was the one who sent them over, so there should not be a problem with them. As for the research funds, she could have as much as she wanted.

“Mr. Crawford, I thought you didn’t like cheeky smiles?” Luca blinked. She knew that Luke would never be angry at her, but she said that on purpose to tease him.

Luke folded his hands together and rubbed his chin. Was she teasing him?

The audacity!

He liked that look on her. She was the woman he loved, so he liked any look on her face.

“I don’t like it on others, but I like your cheeky smile,” Luke teased her.

Bianca used to blush whenever she got teased, and it was the same for Luca now.

He watched Luca’s face turn red instantly.

The smile on Luke’s thin lips made her heart beat even faster. His serious face alone was enough to make her fall for him, but the addition of such flirty words made her heart beat uncontrollably fast.

“Ahem, Mr. Crawford. It’s office hours.” Luca looked away from him.

If she looked at him any longer, she would fall head over heels for him.

Luke pushed over the documents she brought over. “I’ve finished reading them.”

“You’re done?” Luca was surprised. How could he read through them in such a short time?

Even after she had been his wife for so many years, she did not know that he had the ability to read this fast. Was that all it took to read this stack of documents?

Luca found it unbelievable.

“I’ve already signed it, and I have no objections. You may proceed with your plan,” said Luke.

Luca was still Bianca, even if she was being controlled by the Island of Despair. She was different from others.

Other research professors would apply for as much funds as possible, but Luca would not. Every grant report she made was done realistically.

Even if Watson was his company, Luca would not take advantage of that.

Whether she was Bianca or Luca, and no matter whose interests were involved, she would be sensible about it because she followed her conscience.

Luke believed that when she put the company in jeopardy, she did not do so on purpose.

Instead, it was the Island of Despair that was behind it.

It was not Luca’s doing but theirs!

That was what Luke thought.

“The funding is approved?” Luca did not buy it. Did Luke actually trust her or was he biased?

If it were any other professor, Luke would keep the documents and have Watson’s accountant examine each application before discussing with the professor on the final terms.

Whatever the final amount was, it would certainly not be the amount the professor applied for in the first place.

Of course, the amount would not be higher than before and only lesser.

“It’s approved. It’s reasonable.” Luke nodded, even though he did not actually see if the amount was reasonable or not.

Luca did not ponder anymore whether it was trust or bias…

She and Rhett had already deliberated over the funds, so there would not be anything unreasonable in the report.

Luca stood up while hugging the documents in her arms. “Thank you, Mr. Crawford. I’ll be heading back to Watson, then.”

“Alright, I’ll be home later tonight, so don’t wait up for me to eat dinner,” said Luke. Pierre’s situation had been resolved, so Percy was buying drinks tonight.
