Chapter 386 Mr. Crawford’s Sudden Change In Demeanor!
"I'm not judging you, Sue, but it's just that your symptoms look very similar to what I went through whenI was pregnant... I mean, a woman should be in charge of her own health. I think you should go to thehospital for a checkup."
Bianca knew how helpless a woman could be when they became pregnant before marriage.
Back then, she did not know that the father of the babies in her womb was Luke. She had thought thatthe father was some despicable old man, and that she would never forget the physical and mentaltorment she went through during her pregnancy.
Bianca's words seemed to have convinced Sue.
She rubbed her temples, trying to recall something. That night, she had gotten herself drunk at a barand spent a wild night with a stranger. Her heart nearly stopped when she thought of that.
'That can't be. It's just one night. Why am I so unlucky?’
Sue tried to deceive herself that it was not the case. She felt as though her head was going to explode.
She felt another wave of nausea. "Bianca, can you help me get a pregnancy test strip from thepharmacy nearby?" She asked Bianca in panic, "Right, I don't want anyone else to know about this." "Iunderstand, Sue. I'll keep it a secret for you. Just wait for me for a while.
I'll be back with the test strips soon."
It was the evening rush hour, and the T Corporation employees were streaming out of their offices.
A crowd was waiting in the elevator lobby. Bianca was in a hurry to buy the pregnancy test strips, soshe went into the CEO's personal elevator.
Luke would often bring her into his personal elevator. Bianca forgot that regular employees could onlytake employee elevators.
When Bianca stepped out of the CEO's personal elevator and saw the other employees looking at herweirdly while whispering to each other, she realized that she had made a big mistake.
However, she was not in the mood to be bothered with all that.
She quickly ran toward the pharmacy.
Many employees, especially the gossips, talked among themselves at the elevator lobby.
"Eh, isn't that Bianca Rayne from the design department? I'm envious that the boss treats herdifferently. Look at her. She gets to ride the boss's personal elevator," Female Colleague A said.novelbin
Female Colleague B nodded in agreement. However, there was a hint of jealousy in her gaze. "Shedoesn’t look that remarkable, and she dresses so shabbily. I think I look better than her. I wonder whydid the boss take a liking to her?"
Female Colleague B was from the PR department. She was famous in the company for her outstandinglooks and tall figure.
She had admired Luke and wished that her love would be returned. Unfortunately for her, her wishnever came true.
She was naturally jealous when she saw that an unremarkable woman had gained Mr. Crawford'sfavor.
Female Colleague C glanced disdainfully at her. 'Tch. You always wear so seductively every day, asthough you're selling your body. It'll be a miracle if the boss likes you!'
At the pharmacy near the company, rows of products were displayed on the racks.
Bianca quickly took two different products. One was a box of test strips, and the other was a test stick.
She wanted to get a double confirmation.
Bianca knew how Sue must be feeling right now. The sudden realization that one was pregnant couldcause panic and helplessness.
After buying the items, Bianca went back to the company.
In a hurry, Bianca accidentally ran into someone, and the items in her hands fell on the floor and caughteveryone’s eye.
The T Corporation employees' accusatory gazes fell on Bianca.
Bianca rubbed her nose that was in pain. She did not notice who was the one she had knocked intoand crouched on the floor to pick up the items.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm and picked her up.
It was Luke. "Uh, Mr. Crawford..." Bianca said awkwardly. She had always called him that in thecompany.
Luke narrowed his eyes and looked at the items in her hands. His lips faintly curled up in surprise. "Areyou pregnant, Bianca?"
Bianca knew that Luke must have misunderstood her, but she had to keep the secret for Sue...
There was a rule in the company that a pregnant employee could not be promoted.
That would be lethal for Sue's career!
She tried to calm herself down. "N... No, my period has been late for a few days, so I'm trying to checkif there's anything..."
Luke's gaze landed on her tightly kneaded hands and smiled. "I remember that the last time you hadyour period was on the 8th. It's only less than half a month away. If you want to test, shouldn't you bewaiting until the 8th of the next month?"
The man's gentle smile was dazzling, and that had made Bianca blush even harder. 1
He could remember the date of her period. That way, she would not be able to lie to him.
"I... I’m buying this so that I can use it when the time comes," Bianca said unconfidently.
"Oh?" Luke stared at her curiously. Her fair face was slightly pink from blushing, and she wassubconsciously biting her lip.
Bianca always blushed whenever she told a lie. That was the same as Rainie.
She stood there awkwardly for some time before saying softly, "I'll tell you the truth. I'm buying this for acolleague, but I can't tell you who it is. I've promised the other party that I will keep this a secret. I'll bedelivering this to her. See you later."
Bianca felt like she was a monkey at a zoo when the people around her looked at her with surprisedgazes. She was very uncomfortable.
Luke also knew that he should not probe into his employees' personal lives.
He caressed Bianca's smooth hair and said gently, "Come down to the parking lot after you're done. I'llbe waiting for you."
Bianca nodded and dashed away.
After she left, Luke's gentle gaze turned harsh and cold.
He swept his gaze across the curious crowd, establishing his domineering presence to the peoplearound him. The employees quickly averted their gazes and pretended that they did not see anything...
'Oh my god! The boss is too scary! Was that gentleman earlier the same person as the Cold-FacedDevil?'
