Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 6

Ten minutes later, Jean was done with his interview.

He pushed the door open and walked out.

Bianca immediately got to his feet. “How was it?”

“The interviewers ask some tough questions, but it isn’t anything we can’t handle.” Jean could not help but kiss Bianca on the forehead, saying calmly, “Overall, it’s not bad.”

Bianca heaved a sigh of relief.

“Next, Bianca Rayne,” the female secretary called out.

Bianca hurriedly straightened out her clothing and went inside anxiously.

The second she walked into the room, Luke looked at her with a complicated gaze.

Bianca sat down properly and raised her head, meeting each interviewer’s eyes, one at a time.

After that, she introduced herself briefly. “Good morning, everyone. First of all, thank you for giving me this opportunity to attend this interview. My name is Bianca Rayne.”

Since she decided to return to this country and find a job here, she had come up with plenty of interview openers in her mind.

It may not be the most creative way to begin, but it was solid enough and faultless.

The interview continued on.

Luke assessed her with his cold gaze.

Perhaps his stare was just too piercing. While Bianca responded to all of the interview questions expertly, she felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

It did not just feel like someone was glaring daggers at her. Instead, it felt like a peculiar type of thorn pricking her all over her body.

In truth, Bianca had glanced at Luke too when she first walked into the room.

Nevertheless, this was a formal interview, and she had to treat it seriously. Although she had plenty of questions in her heart, she did not dare to let her guard down and become distracted.

“Miss Rayne, are you married?” Luke’s cool voice suddenly interrupted the interviewers, asking a question that left all the professional interviewers speechless.

All the interviewers stopped their formal exchange with Bianca, turning to look at their big boss in unison. He was part of the panel too.

“No, I’m not,” Bianca said, trying to calm herself down. Her heart was actually already racing.

“In that case, do you have someone you intend to marry?” Luke frowned and asked again.

Bianca paused for a moment before she nodded and replied, “I do.”

The interviewers were all feeling quite lost. Why was their boss asking this question?

Their short conversation allowed Bianca to get a better look at Luke’s gorgeous features. Now that she had seen him in person, he did look a lot like that upperclassman from the high school next door back then.

This successful businessman was vastly different from the boy that had celebrated his youth in school, though.

Be it in his presence or the expression on his face, Luke Crawford seemed to her like a cold and ruthless man.

…

The interview was finally over.

Bianca walked out of the room, feeling weak in the knees.

“How was it? Tell me!” Nina was the first to run up to her and ask.

Bianca was stumped, so she said, “The interviewer asked me if I’m married, and if I’m not, if there’s anyone I intend to marry.”

Jean frowned when he heard that. What kind of a stupid question was that?

It was infringing on her privacy.

However, Nina said, “Oh, that’s normal here in this country. In fact, they're being polite by not asking if you have kids.”

“But why would they ask something like that?” Bianca asked in confusion as they went downstairs.

“Because kids will get in the way of your career,” Nina replied, looking at her brother and Bianca. “Most local companies discriminate against married women with children. You only recently got back here, so you just gotta get used to it.”

…

That afternoon.

Bianca and Jean both received calls informing them that they would have a two-month probationary period. If they passed all the tests during the next two months, they would be able to stay at T Corporation permanently as official staff members.

The next day.
