Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 46

The car slowly began to move.

Jason had already made all the necessary arrangements at the hotel in advance.

Bianca sat straight-up in the car. She did not dare to look in front of her, just in case the man accidentally entered her point of view, so she kept looking at the road as it passed them.

Luke was lazily perusing some newspapers. His slender and well-defined fingers held the corners of the paper, and he emanated a chill, as though he was frozen in ice. He did not say anything either.

All of a sudden, Bianca felt parched.

Every time she was nervous, she always wanted to drink some water.

…

When they arrived at the hotel, Sue did not wait for Bianca to catch up with her. Instead, she enthusiastically greeted the three partners and went into the hotel.

She thought of herself as quite the veteran in the field. Of course she noticed what was happening.

The overbearing man Bianca mentioned who may be pursuing her on a whim was probably the boss of T Corporation himself. In other words, he was her highest superior.

She was also certain that the special assistant to the president, Jason Doyle, knew that as well. He was walking in front of her, looking completely calm and composed.

The proof was that Jason had specially arranged for Bianca to take the boss’ car.

Suddenly, Sue Carter was overjoyed. She was a hundred times happier now than she had been when she landed that important project. At the end of it all, she was a pragmatic woman, and she knew that women had it just a little tougher than men when it came to climbing the corporate ladder.

Bianca Rayne was her lucky charm. After all, she was the woman the boss fancied now!

It did not matter if it was just a whim or just a temporary change in tastes. No matter what, the truth remained that Bianca was the only woman the boss was interested in right now.

Also, all men had a common weakness. They always thought the grass was greener on the other side, and the harder it was to get to that grass, the more obsessed they would become with it. Sue was starting to think that she should do something about this.

She would leave playing hard-to-get to that good girl Bianca. Sue’s job now was to play matchmaker and get the two of them together.

Her career was in its developmental stage right now, and Sue knew very well that she needed an “ally” who could put in a good word for her with the boss. Right now, the only possible candidate was Bianca.

Soon, all of them reached the hotel.

Bianca was a nobody in the company, so she was relegated to walking two meters behind Luke. As they got out of the car, went through the hotel lobby, and arrived at the elevators, she kept her head down and walked silently without a word.

When the elevator doors opened, she had no choice but to get inside.

Since she was the last to get inside, she had to stand at the front of the elevator. If she wanted to move backward, she would have to squeeze past the man. Since she wanted to avoid all physical contact with him, she just had to stay where she stood obediently.

The elevator doors closed.

When they arrived on the floor with the restaurant, Bianca went inside and took her seat alongside the others.

The food was served, followed by the wine.

Just then, Bianca’s phone rang.

“Excuse me, I have to go out and take a call,” Bianca stood up and addressed everyone apologetically.

Everyone seated turned to look at her.

Luke, however, did not look up at her. He just said coolly, “Be quick about it.”

Bianca immediately went outside.

Once she left the room, Bianca stood in the corridor and took the call. “Hello?”

The caller was one of her female colleagues from the design department, Nelly Lowe. She wore her heart on her sleeve and was quite friendly to Bianca.

Nelly said in a whisper, “I came out for lunch and saw your boyfriend, Jean. He… He was dragging a woman into the fire escape, looking all suspicious. You know what I think?”
