Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3069

As Luca and Luke delved into the discussion, her curiosity got the better of her. She could not help but want to probe for more details.

Luke, however, shook his head, and said, "The one pulling the strings wasn’t Evan."

"Not him?" Luca's curiosity intensified. If it was not Evan, then who could it be?

Her eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity.

"Shireen has a childhood friend, but they lost touch in middle school..." Luke came across this information when he was investigating Evan.

He had not dug into Shireen's past.

"Then?" Luca heard him and began to form a rough picture in her mind.

Perhaps it unfolded just as she suspected...

Luke explained, "I'm not sure about the details that followed. All I know is that the person obstructing Shireen's job search is her childhood friend."

With a gentle lift of his hand, he lightly brushed Luca's nose.

Luca initially thought Luke had more information, but it turned out to be just this.

"I think I've got the gist of it," affirmed Luca. There must have been some misunderstanding between them, which caused Shireen's childhood friend to undermine her job search.

Even though Luca was unsure of the specifics, she was confident that Shireen's friend must wield considerable influence, explaining the hurdles in her job search.

No matter how influential her friend was, Luca reckoned that they dared not to confront Luke. That was why Shireen faced no interference when she went to interview at Brilliant Architectural.

The childhood friend likely knew that Brilliant had Luke as a supporter.

Consequently, Luca smoothly secured the opportunity at that time.

"So, do you know how Shireen and her childhood friend are doing now?" asked Luca. After she returned, she did not intentionally engage with or learn about them.

After all, it fell outside the scope of tasks assigned by Abel.

Additionally, minimizing contact with them would make it easier to leave with fewer emotional ties if she were compelled to return later.

"Are you mistaking me for a gossip hound?" Luke shook his head helplessly.

"I'm just curious, right? But I heard that Shireen seems to have made significant strides in recent years?" Luca shared what she knew, but it was not much.

She was aware of Shireen winning several awards for architectural design, but beyond that, details were scant.

Shireen still worked at Brilliant and appeared to have climbed the ranks.

Brilliant was a product of Luca’s dedication and hard work. She thought of having a chat with Nina when she had the time to know more about Brilliant’s current status.

With this in mind, she took another bite of fruit.

Luke's gaze remained fixed on her face. The weather was great, and within the walls, a tranquil ambiance enveloped the space.

Luca pointed at his computer screen, and reminded him, "If you don't finish your work soon, your inbox is going to overflow with emails."

As she spoke, two more emails landed in his inbox.

Luke heard the notification sound from his laptop and let out a sigh. He lowered his head and gently kissed Luca's alluring lips. Then, he lifted his head and said, "Alright, I'll buckle down on work. I'll try to wrap up these tasks early today and spend time with you."

When he mentioned spending time with her, his breath was uneven, and there was a flirtatious tone in his voice.

Luca’s face reddened. She cleared her throat and took a sip of the lemon rose tea. Its fragrance failed to mask the sweetness on her lips. As she breathed in the air, she also caught a whiff of his distinctive scent.

It was a hormonal aroma that made Luca blush even more. She picked up the book and started reading.
