Chapter 421 He Became Normal After Meeting Bianca
A chill went down Bianca's spine when she heard Luke's angry voice.
Oops! She was so busy with work that she ignored his direct orders to not put too much pressure onherself. He also forbade her to stay in the company and work overtime.
Bianca's voice was clear as day at the other line. "I'll be done in a while..."
Luke kept quiet for a moment. Suddenly, his voice became louder by a notch as he said, "I rememberthat the tasks that I asked Bella to assign to you were relatively easy. Did she go against myinstructions and increase your workload?" "No..."
Bianca said embarrassedly, "The other colleagues are all busy, and it doesn't look good if I’m the onlyidle one. Besides, this urban reconstruction project is so important, and I can't take it lightly..."
Looking at the thick stacks of documents, she held her phone with her left hand while her right handmoved the cursor reflexively. She continued working on the design.
"If I didn't call you, how long are you planning to stay?" Luke asked coldly.
"Uh... I'll work for another half an hour or so." Bianca looked at the time on the bottom of the screenand she replied softly, "Time flies when I'm working."
Recently, Lowry would drive Bianca home. Luke was a workaholic that usually worked late.Occasionally, when he was not working overtime, Bianca would go home with Luke.
Luke sighed and said, "What should I do with you?’.
Then, he hung up the call without any warning.
Bianca was taken aback when she heard his sigh, but then, she shook her head and told herself tostop overthinking.
Looking at the stacks of documents on the desk and the unfinished work on the computer, Bianca feltdizzy.
She grabbed her facial mist, sprayed it on her face a few times, rubbed her face to keep herself awake,and started working on the draft again.
In the huge office, only the clicks of a mouse were heard.
When Bianca worked without distractions, she was very focused and efficient. In a blink of an eye, halfan hour passed, and her work was almost done.
She wanted to finish her work and then go to the CEO's office to find Luke, but thinking of howstubborn he was, he would be angry if she did not leave the office before nine o'clock.
Bianca saved the unfinished design, copied them to the flash drive, and started to pack up so that shecould bring her work home to be completed.
When she was busy packing up, she heard footsteps from behind her.
Bianca froze.
The office was supposed to be empty at that time. She should be the only one there.
She instantly thought of a video about the supernatural that she accidentally clicked on yesterday titled"Haunted Office."
Suddenly, Bianca panicked and grabbed a pen holder on the desk and threw it toward the source of thesound!
"Are you trying to murder your husband?" A man's deep voice said that. Then, Bianca, who was in astate of shock, was hugged by a strong and warm male body.
Bianca looked up in astonishment and saw Luke. He was holding her with his left arm, and his righthand held onto the pen holder that she had just thrown at him. She felt very embarrassed.
"Sorry, I thought someone broke into the office, I don't know it was you..." Bianca hurriedly grabbed thepen holder in his hand and placed it on the desk. Her face started blushing with embarrassment.
"Let's go, it's the Light Festival today, I want to bring you somewhere." Luke did not blame her. Instead,his eyes were filled with endless love for her.
Under the bright office lights, his handsome side face was highlighted, making his jawline much morethree-dimensional and charming.
Bianca nodded obediently. She quickly sorted out her documents and put them into her handbag.
When she was done, she grinned at him like a cute little girl and said, "I'm ready."
Luke rubbed her head and left the company with her.
They drove to a town near A City.
In the BMW, Luke turned on some light-hearted music. It was classical violin music, Bianca’s favoritegenre.
The drive took an hour. With the intoxicating music in the background and the ongoing chit-chatting,they soon arrived.
The town was overcrowded because it was the Light Festival.
It stood to reason that they should not even be able to find a parking space, but before their arrival,Luke had contacted a friend who owned a high-end hotel there.
He drove the car to the hotel parking lot, where a parking space was reserved for him.
After he parked the car, Luke took Bianca's hand and strolled on the stone path in town.
Phoenix Town was a well-known historical town in the North with almost a thousand years of history. Itwas once rated as one of the "Top Ten Charming Towns" and boasted a beautiful night view.
Every household in the town had lanterns hanging high. Tourists walked under the lanterns, whichilluminated their beaming faces. It felt as though they were transported back into the past.
Bianca held on to Luke's arm. As they strolled around, she said in amazement, "The town here is verydifferent from my hometown. Ours is similar to Peaceful Town. The window jacarandas are made ofebony wood, and the eaves are stacked with tiles. It has the lavishness of a Merchant’s Compound andthe aura of a courtyard house, and the town here has poetic and pictorial surroundings. Everywhereyou look, your heart will feel a sense of peace..."novelbin
Luke tightened the belt on Bianca’s coat and said softly, "As long as you like it."
He knew that although Bianca was born in a northern town, she did not have the boldness of a northernwoman, but instead had the gentleness and beauty of a southern woman.
He thought that she would love the nighttime scenery in this town. So, he took the time out of his busyschedule and brought her here.
To bring her here to enjoy the scenery, Luke did not go back to Crawford Manor to dine with hisgrandpa during the Light Festival for the first time in his life.
The couple looked like a match made in heaven. They stood out amid the crowd.
Luke and Bianca were admiring the scenery and lights, but many tourists were secretly admiring them.
The big lanterns were hanging high, and there was no end in sight. The dizzy red lights reflected onBianca's face. When she smiled, she looked more gentle, which made Luke's heart tender.
He was not a festive person. Since he met Bianca, he started paying attention to various festivals like anormal person.
