Chapter 514 Her Trump Card!
The days went by, and Bianca's legs gradually recovered under the doctors' meticulous care.
Slowly, she was able to walk on crutches.
Bianca had been drawing design plans and studying for the architect exam while she rested at home.
She occasionally painted oil paintings in her spare time and led a pretty comfortable life.
However, Luke was getting busier and busier recently. He came back very late every day, and helooked tired when he was back.
It broke Bianca's heart. She only wished she could take his place in dealing with the arduous work.
However, Luke only comforted her, saying that everything would be all right when it was over.
Bianca did not believe it. Her right eyelid had been twitching lately, making her feel indescribable panic.
She wanted to ask Luke about it, but she was afraid of causing him trouble because he was alreadystressed out. Thus, she gave up.
Bianca tried to search online for news about Leia and Luke, but there was nothing new about themonline, only old news.
Still, Bianca felt that something was wrong.
Supposedly, Luke was now 'dating' Leia, and based on how well she knew Leia, the woman must beitching to let the world know that they were together.
Luke was even the media's focus and their darling. They would not let go of any opportunities,regardless of how small or big, to write about him. How could there be nothing online?
Bianca did not know that Luke was afraid that she would become paranoid after reading the fakegossip online, so he had someone block all the news from the outside world. He also used the mostadvanced network technology to make the web pages Bianca clicked on only accessible to certainports to view old news.
Luke had also warned Sue and Nina, who were close to Bianca, in advance. He asked them to keepeverything happening in the outside world from Bianca.
Therefore, Bianca had no idea what was going on out there.
As such, Bianca also had no idea that Luke and Leia's upcoming engagement was all over theheadlines.
T Corporation.
"Mr. Crawford, Ms. Norman is here." The assistant secretary's landline had just rung when there was aknock on the door outside.
"Luke, are you still busy with work?" As soon as the door opened, Leia's soft and nauseatingly sweetvoice sounded.
Walking into the masculine and lavish office, Leia, who was dressed in white Chanel couture, ran herhands over her freshly maintained straight hair. She walked over to Luke who was working hard.
Leia was a little disappointed to see that the man was so immersed in his work he had no time to payattention to her appearance, but the inconcealable ambition in her eyes became more obvious.novelbin
She was beautiful and wealthy. Now, this man was about to get engaged to her. Marriage was only amatter of time.
She was almost Luke's nominal fiancee now.
However, she wanted more than an engagement. She wanted to be the young mistress of the Crawfordfamily.
She wanted to be the only woman in his life and for him to fall at her feet.
Leia gave a confident smile. "Luke, why are you so busy?" "Do you want something?" Luke signed hisname at the bottom of the contract without even glancing at Leia.
"You're busy every day. It has been a long time since you've accompanied me shopping. I'm going to afilm award ceremony tomorrow. Can you go with me?" Not minding Luke's indifference, Leia smiledobediently in front of him.
She knew this highly qualified man was not that easy to conquer. He had the right to put on airs andgraces to women.
She could accept his attitude.
Leia thought men ought to be forceful like that. If he stuck to her like a lap dog, then she would not bebothered at all.
Luke's hand paused, and he said coldly, "Sorry, I'm very busy these days."
Without glancing at Leia, the man pulled out another stack of thick papers, ready to continue working.
Leia was a little mad at him for ignoring her like that.
She took away the documents in his hand and said aggrievedly, "Don't be so cold to me, Luke. We'reboth about to be engaged. You're my future husband now. Why do you still treat me like this? I knowyou're very busy with work and don't have much time to accompany me. I'll also try my best not todisturb you. Luke, you should take care of your body no matter how busy you are with work. You're notmade of steel. You've got to take some time off. Besides, I'm here at a time when you're about to get offwork-" "I really don't have time right now. I'll accompany you when I do." Luke was in a bad mood afterhis work was interrupted.
He glanced up at Leia impatiently. Her youthful pretty face did not appeal to him in the slightest. In fact,he found it annoying.
There was no doubt that Leia's face was exquisite, especially when she had put on delicate makeupand was wearing the most exquisite clothes. It made her look exceedingly beautiful and slender.However, Luke thought of Bianca's bare little face with no makeup.
The overly dressed-up Leia was immediately overshadowed in comparison.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Leia pulled out her trump card.
Her expression looked innocent as she said, "Dad said he wants you to come with me to the Normans'residence tonight. He has something to discuss with you. Luke, you need to see my father no matterhow busy you are. I went to the study to call Dad over for breakfast today and I seemed to haveoverheard Dad talking to his secretary about some disc. Luke, they even talked about you and whenour wedding is going to be..."
Luke stopped working. A cold and restrained smile appeared at the corners of his lips. "Okay, I'll goshopping with you after I finish these papers."
The charming and elegant smile somehow made Leia's scalp tingle a little, but she did not care.
So what if the man did not love her? She had something on him, so he would have to marry heranyway.
After he was done with work, Leia took Luke’s arm as she walked through T Corporation's lavish andgorgeous hall.
At the sight of their intimacy, the capable Mavis narrowed her eyes and glared at Leia's flawless fairface that was due to all the makeup she had on. The woman was acting all high and mighty as if shewas already Mrs. Crawford. She felt surge after surge of bitter jealousy in her heart.
She did not expect Leia to immediately fill the vacancy as soon as Bianca left Luke. Now, that womanwas about to get engaged to the man she had been secretly been in love with for so many years.
"Mr. Crawford," Hiding her admiration for Luke, Mavis greeted him respectfully.
When she faced Leia, she hid her true emotions and was equally courteous. "Hello, Ms. Norman.""Hello, Ms. Laviere." Leia also sized up the gorgeous and capable Mavis.
She smiled gently but was actually cooking up a plan in her heart.
She knew that Mavis was one of Luke's best right-hand persons, but her intuition as a woman told herthat this woman was not simple and had inappropriate thoughts about Luke.
She would fire this woman as soon as she became the CEO's wife.
After saying hello, Leia took Luke's arm and left. The corners of Mavis' lips raised sarcastically as shelooked at their backs.
'Does Leia really think of herself as the CEO's wife?
'Ha, how can a scheming woman from a darn orphanage be good enough for the boss who's of noblebirth?
'It's still uncertain whether the engagement will work out!' 1
