Chapter 549 Luke Could Feel His Urges Flare...
T Corporation.
Bianca's daily life had been smooth-sailing. She did not encounter any obstacles at work or at home.
She had discussed with Luke, and they decided to get their marriage certificate from the Civil RegistryOffice at the end of the month.
Bianca was especially happy every time she remembered that she would be Luke’s legally married wifesoon.
"Ms. Rayne..." Mavis's impassive voice resounded in the conference room.
Mavis was glaring unhappily at the daydreaming Bianca. A hint of disgust flashed past her eyes.
Nina pinched Bianca heavily!
Bianca suddenly came to her senses and focused on her surroundings!
She looked down the long conference table and noticed that all her colleagues were looking at her,including her boss Luke Crawford.
Embarrassedly, Bianca smoothed her hair and sat up straight. "Yes, Ms. Laviere?"
Bianca looked at Luke. He was sitting up straight in his seat with a serious expression on his face. Toeveryone else, he was stern and impassive, the total opposite of that passionate man in bed.
Luke usually would not show up at the weekly meeting of the design department. However, it was onlya week away from the end of the month, when they would have a joint meeting with Vivi Group and
monthly updates from each of the subsidiary companies. Given Luke's unpredictable personality, noone thought that it was surprising that he was sitting in the meeting.
Bianca's relationship with the boss was an open secret. No one said anything in the open, but theylooked at Bianca with different sentiments, especially the women, who were envious.novelbin
Meanwhile, they looked at Mavis, who thought that she would eventually become Mrs. Crawford, withsome mockery.
Mavis knew that very well.
Even though her colleagues respected and feared her, she could see the sympathy and schadenfreudein their eyes.
Mavis's gaze fell disdainfully on Bianca's bulging stomach. "Are you feeling listless lately, Ms. Rayne?You seem tired." "I'm not..." Bianca could sense the disdain in Mavis's gaze. She stopped herself mid-sentence.
Mavis leaned back on her chair and smiled superficially. "You seem to be in low spirits, Ms. Rayne. Didyou not sleep well last night? You're pregnant now, and it's normal for a pregnant woman to requiremore rest. If you can't take it, you can request a long leave of absence from the company. That way,you'll have enough time to rest, and you won't hamper the progress of the project.’
Mavis's suggestion might sound as though she genuinely cared for Bianca, but Bianca could see thatthe smile on her face was only superficial.
Of course, Bianca could understand the implications of her words too.
Mavis was saying that her pregnancy made her a burden to the progress of the project.
She was about to explain herself when Luke's resonant voice echoed in the conference room. "Shehad a good rest last night, but she has been preparing for the architect certification test, and so it's notsurprising if she's feeling the pressure. I believe that Ms. Rayne's work capabilities will not disappoint."
The employees from the design department were surprised when they heard the CEO speak.
They did not expect that the CEO would speak up for Bianca...
Mr. Crawford said that Bianca had a good rest last night. Did that mean that they were together in bedthe night before?
Bianca was reminded of the embarrassing things that they did in bed.
She was on top, and he was at the bottom...
Her petite face blushed when she recalled the most intimate scenes.
Luke's eyes narrowed. Bianca was dressed in a set of black clothes specially designed for pregnantwomen. It looked quite conservative.
However, her enlarged chest was pushing against the white shirt she wore beneath, and the buttonswere in danger of bursting. With her slightly blushing face, she seemed especially charming.
Luke could feel his urges flare up.
He abruptly took a big gulp of his tea to calm himself down, at the same time making a mental note tothe fashion design department to redesign the office wear for pregnant women. The new design shouldbe loose enough to hide the chest too.
Mavis was especially embarrassed.
Luke had spoken up for Bianca in public. That had intensified the feelings of agony she was currentlyexperiencing!
She managed to hide her true emotions from the other people, except for Bianca, who was especiallyobservant.
The meeting continued for another half an hour, during which each employee reported on the progressof their work.
After Mavis made a brief conclusion and Luke gave the signal, she breathed a sigh of relief andannounced, "Meeting dismissed."
The employees of the design department quickly stood up from their seats, efficiently packed up theirfiles and notes, then left in an orderly manner.
Every employee in T Corporation was busy with work, especially those in the design department. Theywished that they had more than twenty-four hours a day for work.
After all, in the rapidly developing society, it was too easy to be left behind.
Bianca knew that Luke would be on a business trip to another city tomorrow. She deliberately packedup her belongings slowly.
She remained in the conference room, even though she, Luke, and Mavis were the only three peopleleft.
Mavis glanced resentfully at Bianca, then sneaked a peek at Luke. She noticed that their gazes weretransfixed on each other, as though they were the only two people left in the world and she was but anuisance. That made her extremely uncomfortable.
Mavis did not want to give Bianca the chance to be alone with Luke.
However, when she sensed that the boss was glancing at her with an icy gaze, she shuddered andsheepishly went away.
Right after she left, Luke's cold demeanor instantly melted into a gentle and indulgent one.
He waved at Bianca, then patted his thigh. ’’Come here, Bea."
Bianca went over.
She suddenly remembered her certification test tomorrow, and she said uneasily, "Do you think that Ican pass the test tomorrow?"
She had been studying hard, but she had to pass four subjects to obtain her certification. Each subjectcovered a vast area of knowledge, and the test itself was quite complicated. She was confident thatshe would pass, but she was nonetheless worried.
That was why she only applied for two papers.
"Don't worry. You're smart, and I'm sure that you'll pass with flying colors." Luke smiled gently, asthough he was saying that there was nothing his woman could not do.
Bianca felt a little dejected when she remembered that Luke had passed all the papers at one go.
She was only a rookie when compared to that prodigy.
While Bianca was secretly denigrating Luke's inhuman intelligence, Luke suddenly retrieved somethingthat looked like test papers from under his notebook.
Bianca's mouth opened wide in shock when she saw those "test papers."
Did Luke somehow manage to obtain the test papers for the certification test for her?
