Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3370

Hera suddenly felt a chill and turned to look at Abel.

His expression was calm, not as eerie as when he was angry, but she still felt an unsettling vibe from him. Was he jealous?

Hera quickly tried to flatter him, saying, “No way, I think the most good-looking man here is you, my dear.”

Abel did not show any sign of happiness at her flattery. He did not actually have feelings for Hera. Her sweet words could not fool him.

“Since you like him so much, let him stay with you and work for you in the next few days.” Abel was indifferent.

As long as Hera did not embarrass him by cheating on him here, it was fine.

Hera was a bit surprised, but at the same time, she realized that Abel did not really like her. If he truly cared about her, he would have been jealous when she kept staring at another man.

Once she accepted that this was all just a business arrangement, she happily agreed, “Alright. Thank you, my dear.”

Luke’s gaze darkened for a moment, but no one was paying attention.

Abel asked, “091, where’s Shanks?”

“Mr. Shanks and Ms. Craw are upstairs doing an experiment,” Gerald quickly answered. He still did not understand why Abel brought a woman to the base.

Though the base was mainly for Shanks’ experiments and did not have many weapons, bringing an unfamiliar woman here could expose them.

Gerald wondered if this woman was from the Island of Despair too. However, she did not seem like it, and her behavior earlier did not fit.

Even though Gerald did not fully grasp Hera’s identity, he knew she was Abel's woman, so it was best to stay on her good side.

Abel glanced at Hera and said to Luke and Gerald, “I need to handle something now. You two take care of Ms. Sanchez.”

“Yes, sir, ” Luke and Gerald replied in unison.

Abel walked upstairs.

Hera watched his figure disappear around the corner before curiously asking, “Who are Shanks and Ms. Craw?”

Gerald turned to look at Luke, but Luke did not seem like he was going to answer. Gerald replied helplessly, “They’re the main… technical staff for our boss' company.”

Hera nodded, but her attention was still on the mention of 'Ms. Craw'. She asked, “Is Ms. Craw pretty? Does she have a thing with Mr. Abel?”

Sweat started to form on Gerald’s forehead. If he said Luca was pretty, Hera would definitely get jealous.

However, if he said she was not, the two of them would probably meet eventually, and it would be awkward if Hera blamed him.

Gerald quickly thought of a solution and replied, “Ms. Sanchez, Ms. Craw is just a technical worker. In my opinion, you’re even more beautiful, and she doesn’t have anything to do with the boss. Don’t worry.”

A shadow flickered in Luke’s eyes.

“Oh, I see.” Hera flipped her curly hair. She pondered for a moment and added, “Since she's not as pretty as I am, then I can relax.”

She came here with Abel to make money, and she did not want any unexpected interference that could lead to a loss.

Hera looked at Luke. “What’s your name?”

“Lucius,” Luke replied bluntly with no trace of flattery in his tone. Compared to Gerald's smoothness, he was as direct as could be.

There was no attempt to please at all.

Hera, however, found herself deeply intrigued by him. She used to have no interest in men who did not flatter her or spend money on her.

This feeling was hard to describe. It was not comfortable, yet it reached deep into her bones.
