Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 48

After all that rubbing and friction, the woman’s fair soft foot felt scalded by the burning heat of the man’s large hand…

She did not know when Luke let go of her foot. All she remembered was a pain from her lower abdomen that came in waves. Eventually, there was a thin layer of sweat over her forehead…

The dizziness from the wine and the cramps made her curl up on the large, soft, and warm bed. Before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.

Every so often, Luke would come to rest in this suite here at this hotel.

The hotel belonged to T Corporation.

From the day he officially returned to the Crawfords and began work at T Corporation, this suite had belonged to him. Unrelated persons were usually not allowed to come even close to this place.

After she fell asleep, he adjusted the air-conditioning temperature and carefully covered her with the blankets.

By the time Bianca woke up, it was already dark outside.

She looked around the unfamiliar hotel room and took a second to react before she finally remembered what had happened.

She propped herself up, certain that she was sober now. There was still a slight dizziness and headache, though.

Her phone was right next to her, so she grabbed it.

There was a text from Sue Carter.

“I’m at the company now. The head asked where’d you gone and why you didn’t come back. I told her that Jason Doyle had assigned you a last-minute assignment and that you wouldn’t be able to make it back today.” Sue had sent that message at half-past four.

Bianca blinked.

Bianca and Sue were both T Corporation employees, and Sue should have seen the way their boss treated her in that room. Bianca figured that Sue should have guessed where she had gone too.

Was that why Sue lied for her? She did it to cover up another fact that would inevitably get tongues wagging.

Bianca did not know to explain, so she simply replied with, “Thank you, Sue.”

“Please don’t be polite with me, just remember to throw me a bone once you become the lady boss… I’ll be counting on you, sis…” Sue replied instantly, teasing her.

Bianca paused for a moment before replying, “I know my limits, and I’ll keep them.”

“What limits? Are you stupid? I don’t care, I’ll be counting on you anyway,” Sue responded, frustrated by Bianca’s cluelessness.

Bianca’s eyes were filled with sorrow and worry. Who should she count on when Luke grew tired of her and abandoned her in the rain…?

Just as she was chewing her nails and wondering how to pry the suite door open, a warm touch suddenly came up to her from behind. She turned around in shock and met Luke’s sharp appraising gaze.

“I’ll send you home.” With that, Luke pressed his index finger to the fingerprint scanner and opened the door.

The two of them walked out of the room, one after the other.

She took the lead in a mild panic, while the man followed behind her.

It seemed that Luke was the only one staying on this floor of the hotel. It was unnaturally quiet, with not even an attendant in sight. Finally, they went downstairs and the atmosphere turned to the usual rowdiness of a hotel.

As they walked, everyone they passed bowed and greeted the boss.

Bianca quickened her footsteps, putting a huge distance between the two of them. Even so, she could not avoid others’ curious gazes. When she wanted to hail a cab, his private ride stopped in front of her.

A cab drove toward her and came to a stop.

Bianca opened the door and immediately got in.

The next moment, though, the man had gotten out of his car and grabbed her wrist, pulling her out of the cab. He then opened the backseat door of his own car and stuffed her inside before politely turning around and apologizing to the cabbie for her. Finally, he got into the car and personally drove her home.

Countless employees had witnessed just how handsomely and fluidly he had completed that entire series of actions.

Bianca wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it.
