Chapter 260 You’re Just His Plaything When He's Bored "Do you have something on your mind, Ms.Laviere? Or are you not used to the local weather?" Luke asked curiously.
"I think I'm still not used to the weather here. I'll try to adjust myself so that I can be at my optimalcondition," Mavis said coldly.
Luke nodded. "Mm. I've always believed in your capabilities, Ms. Laviere.
You can keep the document here. Well discuss it in detail tomorrow." "Alright." Mavis turned around andleft.
Luke nodded in satisfaction.
That was Mavis for him. In front of him, she had been distant and aloof, as though she desired nothing,and no earthly temptation could move her.
That was what Luke liked the most about Mavis.
She was capable, professional, and not bothered by personal matters. Those were the qualities of aperfect worker.
"Ms. Laviere," Luke called out her name right when she was opening the door.
Mavis stopped walking. With her face turned away from Luke, she smiled smugly.
She turned around and resumed her usual, aloof expression. ’Is there anything else, Mr. Crawford?""You've been working hard lately. The subsidiary company in Argentina under your lead has recordedseveral percentage points in growth. If you want a reward, you can have cash or stocks. Well talk aboutit at dinner after work." "Alright." Mavis maintained her indifference.
Once she stepped out of the office, her smile bloomed like a flower.
She knew how to control her emotions, knowing that the man she loved was not fond of women whopestered him.
So many women had fallen at Luke’s feet over the years, but he had rejected all of them.
She was the only woman who could stay by Luke’s side for so long.
The workday ended at six o'clock.
In the design department, Bianca was friends with Sue and Nina. She was not too close with the othercolleagues.
Sue waved at them and left the office first, while Nina held Bianca's hand and the two women left theoffice together.
As they walked, Nina told Bianca about the gossip while Bianca was away from the office.
"Do you know that a male employee from the finance department embezzled a few hundred thousanddollars just so that he could pay a camgirl? He was arrested the other day...
"There's a man from the marketing department who looks dependable, but he was actually two-timingand his girlfriends found out...
"A girl from the PR department was flirting with another guy, and her boyfriend beat her when he foundout..."
Bianca was not in the mood for gossip, so she quickly forgot about what she heard.
At the company entrance, she saw Luke's black Bentley drive past them.
The window was rolled down. Bianca could see Luke sitting inside, but he did not seem to notice her.
Mavis was sitting in the side passenger seat.
A gust of wind blew past them. Bianca and Nina could smell a faint whiff of Chanel perfume fromMavis.
Mavis sat there like a noble queen. When she noticed Bianca, her beautiful eyes flashed with mockeryand pride...
Luke noticed Bianca in the rearview mirror.
Suddenly, he had a strange thought. He wanted Mavis to get out of the car at that instant and askBianca to get in.
It was the first time that he had a woman of his own. He did not know how to express himself.
He shook his head and banished that thought. Nothing was going on between Mavis and him. She hadbrought profits to the company, and he was buying dinner for her to reward her.
Luke and Mavis were nothing more than a boss and his employee.
He would explain that to Bianca later.
Bianca had always been understanding. She would know that business dinners were part of Luke's job.
The black Bentley disappeared from Bianca and Nina's view.novelbin
Nina carefully turned her head and sneaked a peek at Bianca.
She knew that Bianca was someone special to Luke. Now that they had seen Luke ride a car withanother woman, Bianca must be thinking of something.
"Are you OK, Bianca? Ms. Laviere has just returned from overseas. I believe Mr. Crawford is taking herout to dinner to celebrate her return. It's nothing out of the ordinary," Nina said gently.
Bianca turned away.
She might pretend that she was unaffected, but she was nonetheless a woman and thus felt uneasyabout the situation. However, she believed that she could trust Luke.
She knew that Mavis was a capable and dependable employee, and it was reasonable that they wentout for dinner.
It was impossible for her not to be worried, but she chose to believe him.
"It's fine." Bianca suppressed her worries. "The bus is coming. Let's go."
Not far away was a bustling public square.
In the middle of the public square was a musical fountain.
Past the public square was a bus station. She could take bus number 52 to go directly home.
When Bianca started working, she had an extravagant thought. She wanted a car of her own so thatshe could commute between home and work more easily. However, she did not have any savings, andshe did not want to use the credit card that Luke had given her. She might feel beholden to him if shedid.
She would try to save up as much money as she could. With the year-end bonus, she should be able toafford an economical car.
While they were traversing the public square, someone suddenly grasped Bianca's arm!
Bianca turned around to see. It was Xavier!
"Why can't you leave me alone, Xavier?" Her expression instantly sank.
"I am your husband," Xavier said sternly. "I'm here to pick you up from work. What's wrong with that?”
Nina was vaguely aware of Bianca and Xavier’s relationship. Seeing that Xavier was grabbing ontoBianca's arm, she stepped in and reprimanded him. "I say, Xavier Tanner, aren't you a shameless one?Bianca is a couple with Mr. Crawford, but you insist on stepping between them. Nobody likes that. Don'tyou know?”
Xavier turned his head to look at Nina. He looked as though he was a cobra baring his tongue.
"You don't have to work here anymore, my wife. Let me take care of you," Xavier said earnestly as helooked at the T Corporation building and something sinister flashed in his eyes. "Look at your eyebags.Luke Crawford doesn't know how to pamper you. Come home with me. HI take good care of you."
Bianca pushed his hand away. "I'm very happy working here. Also, don't ever call me your wife again.HI make sure that this forced marriage is over as soon as possible. Don't ever come and disturb meagain!"
She turned around and quickly walked to the bus station.
Xavier stepped in front of Bianca and blocked her way. "I won't divorce you, Bianca. Do you think thatLuke Crawford really loves you? Tch... you don't know that he has an affair going on with MavisLaviere... You're only nothing but a plaything to him when he's bored. Now that Mavis is back, do youthink that hell want to be together with you?"
Bianca could feel her heart clench when she heard those words...
