Chapter 420 Her Heart Is Weeping
Bianca had been fully occupied since the urban reconstruction project with Vivi Group started.novelbin
With consideration of Bianca's pregnancy, Luke worried that she would overwork herself, so he gaveher the easiest tasks. However, Bianca insisted on doing her part and completing the backlog of workshe had at hand.
Although they kept a low profile, the employees of the design department were tacitly aware of Lukeand Bianca's relationship.
Bianca might have proven herself time and time again since she joined the company half a year ago,but many thought that she had nothing remarkable except for her looks.
She worked hard to prove her ability.
In the morning, Bianca and her colleagues met with the upper management of A City's Bureau ofHousing and Urban Development, Bureau of Land and Resources, Bureau of Planning, and so on. Shetook advice from the Urban Construction Department on how to upgrade and renovate the old town,discussed the work structure and flow, analyzed some of the existing problems, and planned for thenext step.
In the afternoon, she even ignored Luke's dissuasion and insisted on going for a site visit with hercolleagues.
She was firm with her decision, and Luke could not convince her otherwise. All he could do was getsomeone to prepare various tonics for her every day to regulate her body. However, despite his bestefforts, Bianca still lost a few pounds in a week.
During their lunch break, Bianca was having a meal with her colleagues in the cafeteria. LouisCrawford was there.
Louis Crawford was a little surprised at how skinny Bianca got.
He had always thought that when a woman became pregnant, she would turn round and plump. Howdid his sister-in-law lose so much weight?
Her petite oval-shaped face now looked distressingly thin.
Louis Crawford put a large piece of fish on Bianca’s plate and said, "You look too thin, Bianca. Youneed to take care of your health. Eating more fish is good for you." "Uh, thank you.’ Bianca felt a littleembarrassed but thanked him anyway.
Beside her, Sue and Nina covered their mouths and chuckled discreetly. Even the boss's brother hadlearned to care for Bianca. It seemed that the Crawford Family was more accepting of Bianca.
Bella, on the other table, looked somber. She clenched the cutlery in her hands.
How dare Bianca flirt with the General Manager in broad daylight?
On the other hand, Louis Crawford was smiling widely, making his handsome face even morecharming. "Everyone has been working hard recently. Eat whatever you want. It's on me!"
His staff exclaimed, "Wow, General Manager, are you for real?"
Louis Crawford said in a suave and narcissistic manner, "Of course it is true. Look at this handsomeface, do I look like someone who doesn't keep to his promises?"
Everyone laughed, and the room was filled with happy faces.
The staff thanked Louis Crawford and ordered their favorite dish. Many of the staff who were alreadyfull returned to eat again. T Corporation's catering was above par, so they were happy to takeadvantage of the free meal.
At the end of their lunch break, Louis Crawford decided to head off first.
Before he left, he said to Bianca softly, "Bianca, although Luke attaches great importance to this urbanreconstruction and development project, don't tire yourself out. After all, you are pregnant and shouldnot be overstressed. If something happens to you, the most distressed person would be Luke." 1 "Iknow." His kind words warmed Bianca's heart.
Louis Crawford continued, "Okay then, I'll head off first. If you encounter any trouble at work, you cancome to me at any time." "Okay." Bianca nodded.
Luke was at ease knowing that Bianca was in a good state of mind and that her morning sickness wasnot as horrible as before, then turned around and left.
Bianca stared at his back as he walked away. She was taken aback by his actions.
Louis Crawford used to act like a clown, but he seemed to have changed after he resumed work afterNew Year's Day. He started taking work seriously, and he had eased Luke's workload...
After Louis left, Sue and Nina immediately gathered around Bianca and winked at her, "Bianca, theboss's brother cares so much about you. Has their family accepted you?" "It's not as simple as youthink. I would say that the situation is much better than before." Bianca subconsciously touched herlower abdomen with a gentle expression on her face.
She did not tell anyone in the company that she was pregnant, not even Sue and Nina.
If they knew that she was pregnant, they would try to limit her workload, and she would not be able toperform at her best.
"Anyway, although the Crawford Family is a well-known wealthy family, Bea is not bad too! She is top-notch whether in terms of appearance or ability. She is a great match for our boss!" Nina propped upher chin with both hands and looked at Bianca like a fangirl.
"Yes! The most important thing is our boss’s opinion. The boss is a powerful man. With him besideBea, nothing can hurt her, not even if everyone from the Crawford Family is against their relationship.We have all seen how the General Manager treats you. He is clearly on Bianca's side. The realobstacle to her entering the Crawford Family is Old Master Crawford and the boss’s mother. However,elderly people generally like to have a big family. When Bianca is pregnant with another baby, I thinkOld Master Crawford would be the fastest one to say yes to her. As for the boss's mother, therelationship between mother and daughter-in-law is the trickiest to deal with... However, you alreadyhave children with the boss. You just have to move to another place after you get married." Sue brokedown the situation very well.
Bianca smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry about me. There will always be a solution. Sue, yourbaby is almost four months old. What's your plan?"
Sue had been consuming a lot more spice in her meals. She seemed to be particularly addicted tospicy food after her pregnancy. "I'm going to take it as it comes. I will raise this child by myself. I canafford it anyway." She replied nonchalantly.
Nina looked at Sue's belly and thought of her unborn child that she was forced to abort. Her expressionturned a little sad. She lowered her head and continued to eat; her heart was weeping.
Bianca immediately realized how inconsiderate she had been when she saw Nina's expression. Sheshould have been more careful with her words!
She hurriedly changed the subject. "Do you have a rough idea of the design plan needed for thisproject?"
Nina immediately became energetic. She said, "This is what I have in mind..."
Bianca breathed a sigh of relief.
She does not know how to ease Nina's trauma, but she has a lifetime to compensate for her.
At 8.45 p.m., Bianca was still working overtime, drawing design drafts.
Suddenly, the phone rang, which shocked her.
Seeing that it was Luke who was calling, Bianca breathed a sigh of relief and answered the call."Hello?"
On the other line, Luke said in a low but slightly angry voice, "It's so late, why are you still working?"
