Chapter 841 What If My Only Condition Is For You To Divorce Bianca?
When Mavis Laviere entered the CEO’s Office, she saw Luke's side profile.
From her point of view, she first noticed his two crossed slender legs that made him appear elegant.
He was wearing a white shirt and a black tie, which highlighted his calm temperament.
Luke was flipping through the document with one hand while holding a cup of coffee with the other,gently blowing at it.
After hearing Mavis' footsteps, he slowly turned around to meet her bright eyes.
It was noon, and the light was bright and warm.
The height of the 80-story floor made it so that there was a lot of natural lighting in Luke’s office.
The faint golden color shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows and landed on him, making hisunique facial features even more alluring.
Even though she had stared at his face countless times throughout many years, Mavis was still takenaback by his beauty. She said softly, Mr. Crawford."
What she wanted the most right now was to call him 'Luke', but she knew that he would be displeasedif she did that.
She dared not displease Luke.
"Hey, you're here." Luke did not lift his head. He just lit a cigarette for himself.
Then, he heard Mavis say, "Mr. Crawford, here's the work schedule for this month, as well as theconsumer profiles for our new target audience. And... my resignation letter..."
She placed the documents on Luke's desk and stood there quietly.
Mavis looked so well-behaved and gentle, very different from her usual image as a strong woman.
Luke raised his head. He looked at Mavis and noticed that she looked different today.
In the past, she always had gorgeous big waves on her hair and wore fitting suits paired with pointedhigh heels. Even if she kept quiet, her presence alone would be domineering.
However, that day, she was standing in front of Luke in a bohemian-style floral dress. Her charmingwavy hair was smooth and straight. She had bangs, and her makeup made her look young and sweet.
Suddenly, it seemed that she was ten years younger. She looked like a young intern who had justentered the corporate world.
Luke raised his eyebrow and threw the work schedule that Mavis had handed to him on the table.
He held her resignation report in his hand, his deep and sharp eyes locking on her as he said, "Why doyou want to resign out of the blue?"
Mavis was one of his top-performing staff; her strong work ability was undeniable.
She was well-informed of the latest technologies and had a keen eye for industry development. Fromtime to time, she would share her forwardthinking design concepts. Her excellent negotiation and publicrelations skills were also top-class.
Mavis' resignation would be a loss for T Corporation.
Mavis suppressed her emotions but was still affected by his magnetic voice. "Mr. Crawford, I’ve workedwith you for ten years. It’s not a short time, but it's not long either. I've learned a lot from you, but now Ithink it's time for me to part ways with T Corporation. I've been tired for as long as I can remember. Iwant to quit and travel the world. I want to live my life and check off the things that have been on mybucket list for the longest time."
Luke stared at Mavis’ face, quietly blowing out smoke.
His voice was calm as he said, "Why do you suddenly want to take a break? Is there too much on yourplate recently? Or, are you not satisfied with your salary? Ms. Laviere, I can give you an increment, orgive you more shares of T Corporation. What do you think? If you're dissatisfied with T Corporation orme, you can tell me straight. The two of us have known each other and worked together for so manyyears. I think we understand each other well by now, and you know that I like things to bestraightforward." 1
Mavis looked deeply into Luke's eyes.
Luke sat as straight as a tree, his sexy thin lips moving as he spoke.
He had said something but she did not hear him clearly. His deep and elegant voice replayed in herears, making her feel a burst of emotion.
When he noticed that Mavis was staring at him, Luke coughed and gave her a gentle reminder, "Ms.Laviere, are you spacing out?"
Mavis was brought back to reality by him and her expression stiffened a little. She said, "Mr. Crawford,I’m sorry, I was thinking about something."novelbin
Luke asked, "Oh? What were you thinking about? Ms. Laviere, do you want to consider what I saidbefore you make a decision? I can either raise your salary or I can give you shares of T Corporation. Tobe honest, you contributed much to the success of T Corporation. If you leave, it would feel like I lostone of my hands. I might not get used to it."
Mavis looked at Luke's delicate features, especially his handsome eyes, quietly.
She looked at how the sunlight fell on his long eyelashes, highlighting his deep-set eyes that lookedexceptionally gentle when he asked her to stay. However, he returned to being emotionless a secondlater.
She could not help but chuckle to herself. She shook her head as she said," No, Mr. Crawford, youknow that I don't want those. I have money and power now. To be honest, I'm content with the positionthat you've given me. I think you should know the true reason why I stayed in T Corporation for somany years. I’ve never said it, but I know that you know. You're just choosing to act like you don't know.Luke, you see me as your subordinate who helped grow your business over the past few years andnothing more. However, there are some things that cannot be controlled. For example, some confusingfeelings... There’s someone who has been waiting for you for years but has never been treatedkindly..." "Ms. Laviere, what do you want? What if I insist that you stay in T Corporation?" Luke wasslightly taken aback. He did not expect Mavis to reveal everything.
He, who had always been sharp and alert, was somewhat at a loss.
Mavis took a deep breath, struggled for a few seconds, and finally said," What if... my only condition isfor you to divorce Bianca?"
Mavis breathed a sigh of relief after she said the words that she had been wanting to say.
However, when she met Luke's icy, gloomy gaze, she thought that Mr.
Crawford looked terrifying...
