Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3357

When Luca felt like she was about to suffocate, Luke finally released her lips.

His gaze burned intensely, his deep eyes locked onto her red lips.

Luca could clearly sense what he was thinking. The desire in Luke's eyes was so overwhelming it felt as though it would completely consume her. She trembled slightly, her own body betraying her, longing to be devoured by him.

“Luca,” Luke murmured huskily, his voice thick with desire.

Luca softly responded with a faint hum. Just then, Luke’s phone rang. It was his alarm. Luke helplessly silenced it.

Clarity returned to Luca’s gaze. “Do you have a meeting to attend?”

She knew full well that it was usually for something important whenever Luke set an alarm. An important meeting meant it could not be postponed.

Luca let out a chuckle.

No wonder Luke had not carried her straight to the lounge. He had something pressing to attend to.

Luke heard her laughter and replied helplessly, “I really don’t want to.”

Luca shook her head and told him that work had to come first. “You’d better go to your meeting. Also, I need to go to X City for a while. Can you come up with a reason for me to take leave from Watson?”

She truly could not think of an excuse herself.

If her identity was revealed, taking leave would not be an issue. However, with her identity still under wraps now, she had no special privileges to fall back on.

Luke pondered for a moment before saying, “Just put in your request. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Luca nodded.

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door.

Luke’s expression darkened slightly. “What is it?”

Jason’s voice came through from outside. “Boss, it’s time for the meeting.”

Luca’s smile deepened.

Luke felt helpless, already thinking about how he wished Luca had come by an hour earlier. He cupped her face in his hands.

Luca gently reminded him, “You have a meeting to attend.”

“I know,” rasped Luke with his hoarse voice. He pressed a warm kiss to her forehead. It was just a light touch, but it carried endless affection. The heat of his lips lingered on her skin, making her cheeks flush even redder.

“Go to your meeting.” Luca gave him a gentle push.

Luke replied in a low voice, “Just one more kiss.” Then, his lips found her forehead again.

Luca smiled, lightly tapping his shoulder.

The knocking on the door came again. Luke opened the door with a dark expression.

Jason stood nervously at the door. When he saw the look on Luke’s face, he froze for a moment before stammering an apology. “Boss, I’m sorry, but it’s time for the meeting...”

Without saying a word, Luke strode toward the elevators, still wearing a grim expression on his face.

Jason noticed his boss was empty-handed and could not help but think of one phrase, "Beauty brings ruin."

Luca had cried, and now, Luke had forgotten to even grab his laptop before heading to the meeting.

Jason glanced back into the office at Luca, and suddenly, it clicked. It was not just tears, there must have been something more.

“Uh, Dr. Craw, I’ll just grab the boss’ laptop,” said Jason.

Luca nodded. As she realized Jason might have pieced together something, she left with reddened cheeks.

Jason pursed his lips, grabbed Luke’s laptop, and followed after him.

After learning about Luke’s plan, the anxiety in Luca’s heart disappeared entirely. She left T Corporation and quickly hailed a cab, heading straight for the high-speed rail station.

While in the cab, she booked the next train ticket to X City.
