Chapter 461 Mr. and Mrs. Crawford’s Public Display of Affection!
Luke wiped away Bianca's tears while everyone was looking. "What's wrong? You're about to getmarried, but you're shedding tears. Aren't you ashamed, Mrs. Crawford?" He said with a joking tone.
Even though he was teasing Bianca, he felt sorry for her as he gazed at her pale face.
Bianca's eyes were red. She gripped his shirt sleeve tightly, trying hard to keep those melancholyfeelings down.
She shook her head. "I'm fine. It's just that I'm overcome by bliss when I think that I'll be married to yousoon. I can't help but think that it's all a dream...”
Luke’s hand patted Bianca’s head.
He gently touched her hair as though he was protecting a piece of rare treasure.
Then, he said indulgently, "Silly girl, we're already here to get your wedding dress. Do you still think thatit's a dream?” i
The managerand staff of the boutique were dumbfounded when they saw that loving scene!
Reports said that Luke Crawford, the CEO of T Corporation, was a serious and merciless person. Hisimposing presence made people stay away from him.
Could that caring and loving gentleman in front of them be the legendary Cold-Faced Devil?
Were those reports in the magazines false?
Luke ignored the peering gazes of the people around him and hugged Bianca, as though only theywere the only people left in the boutique.
Bianca came to her senses and noticed the envious gazes from the other people in the boutique.
She inched away a little from Luke.
After all, he was supposed to be the cold-faced and stern CEO. His reputation would be tarnished ifword got out that he had a gentle side to him!
Luke was not bothered by that.
His smile grew wider, and his gaze became gentle as he kissed Bianca's cheek. "You're especiallybeautiful when you're in the wedding dress, Bianca. I'd like to marry you now if it's possible. That way,you will belong to me, and no other man can covet you."
His words were like a deadly poison that seeped into Bianca's marrow and captivated her heart. Therewas no cure for that.
Bianca's eyes were misted with tears because she was moved.
However, she did not want Luke to see her weakness. "Me too. I wish I could marry you now if Icould...”
The manager gave them his blessings, seeing how loving they were to each other. "You're so loving toeach other, Mr. and Mrs. Crawford. I wish that your mutual love will last forever!" 1 "Thank you."
The manager did not expect the usually aloof Luke would thank him.
He smiled as though he had struck the lottery. "You're welcome, Mr. Crawford. Your wife is verybeautiful. We have a few more wedding dresses and gowns that might suit your wife. Would you wantto try a few more designs?"
Bianca wanted to decline when she heard that.
She thought that one set of wedding dresses was enough.
Before she could say anything, Luke said, "Let her try it!"
Bianca could not decline after Luke said that, and she went to the fitting room to try the other designs.
The manager had an eye for aesthetics. Every design that Bianca tried suited her very well.
Indeed, the clothes changed Bianca's status.
Before she wore the wedding dress, she might have outstanding looks, but she was more like a humbleyoung woman from a small family.
Now that she was in an extravagant gown, people could not take their eyes away from her.
Finally, they settled on four wedding dresses, four gowns, and six pairs of shoes.
At the checkout, Bianca felt dizzy when she saw the number of zeroes on the receipt.
The clothes were beautiful, but she would not be able to afford them with her salary.
Luke did not show any hesitation as he paid with his credit card. The manager was very happy; hepiled on his flattery and called Bianca “Mrs. Crawford." Luke usually hated flattery, but he was in a goodmood today, and he did not say anything about it.
He liked the sound of "Mrs. Crawford."novelbin
After leaving the boutique, Luke sent Bianca home before going to T Corporation to continue working.
As much as he loved to stay back home and accompany Bianca, he had to settle a ten-billion-dollardeal in the critical stage of negotiations.
If he were not careful, then all would be for naught.
He had worked very hard on the deal, and he was not going to let other companies benefit from it.
In the CEO's office.
Luke was focused on his work. He did not notice Mavis arriving in front of his desk.
Mavis thought of many things as she looked at the man who was hard at work.
The man's features were extremely handsome. His skin was as fair as porcelain. His long brows weretightly furrowed because of his concentration. His drooped eyelashes were thick and long. It was abreathtaking sight.
The man was perfect, no matter his enviable appearance, his strong work ethic, or his imposingdemeanor. That was what Mavis loved about Luke.
However, he would be engaged tomorrow.
She only knew about it the day before. How ironic!
"Mr. Crawford.”
Mavis gained Luke's attention after calling out his name. "Are you really going to be engagedtomorrow?"
Luke placed his signature at the end of an agreement.
Then, he lifted his head to look at her. "Yes. You should have gotten the invitation card, Ms. Laviere. Myfiancee and I will be holding a banquet at Carlton Hotel tomorrow. I hope that you can make it."
Mavis smiled sorrowfully. ”1 thought I'd be somewhat special to you, Mr. Crawford, but I didn't expectthat I'm no different from other employees. You are about to be engaged, but I'm the last one to know.Who am I to you?"
Luke frowned. He wondered why the usually collected and sensible Mavis would behave like that.
However, he did not have the energy to think of that. "I'm sorry, Ms.
Laviere. Perhaps I should have informed you earlier, but I have been very busy with work lately. To me,you are the most qualified employee and my best partner at work. I have always been at ease workingwith you over so many years."
The most qualified employee? The best partner at work?
Mavis did not expect that Luke would think of her as only an employee and a partner at work after somany years.
She was instantly overcome by sorrow. No other woman in this world was as pitiful as her!
