Chapter 309 Sending Shockwaves Across A City!
Soon, Bianca made a cup of coffee and served it to Louis. "This is the coffee that you requested, Vice
President Crawford."
She returned to her desk and continued working seriously.
Louis took a few sips. Indeed, the coffee was fragrant and at the right temperature.
It was different from how other people made it.
Louis gestured a thumbs-up at Bianca and asked curiously, "Your skills are pretty good. Have you been
a barista before?"
His appreciation toward Bianca was genuine. Not only was she beautiful and amiable, but she could
also make the most delicious cup of coffee.
"For a while, yes," Bianca answered as her eyes were transfixed on the computer screen.
That was when she went overseas after giving birth to two children. Back then, she had to work part-
time at a cafe to make a living even though she was suffering from depression. Before she knew it, it
had already been five years.
Louis nodded and rubbed his chin as though thinking of something. "Do you know how to cook then?"
He wanted to get to know Bianca more so that he could help his elder brother.
Bianca was busy with work. She glanced at Louis and wondered if the vice president had nothing better
to do than chat with her when everyone else was neck-deep with tasks.
He might be able to slack off because he was the vice president, but Bianca was only a lowly
employee!
The department lead interjected, "Young women nowadays are so pampered, Vice President Crawford.
Bianca wouldn't know how to cook, but my father is a chef in a restaurant, and I have been learning
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrom him since I was young. I..."
When she was bragging to Louis about her culinary skills, the man was standing behind Bianca,
watching her sketch a design instead of listening to her.
The department lead's face contorted out of anger.
The other female colleagues covered their mouths and giggled when they saw how the department
lead could not gain the vice president's favor. That made the department lead feel more humiliated than
ever.
She glared angrily at those female colleagues, turned around, and walked back to her office on her
high heels.
Louis observed Bianca, who was thoroughly focused on her work.
The woman had a gentle face, but her jawline was taut when she was serious, which made her look
more mature and attractive. However, he frowned when he saw what Bianca was doing on her
computer.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford!" Suddenly, Sue stood up and said loudly, which attracted the attention of
everyone in the design department.
They saw Luke walk through the door.
The man was dressed in a black business suit which perfectly outlined his sculpted body. However, he
seemed more inhospitable than usual and caused the employees around him to shudder.
Everyone greeted him, and Luke nodded slightly as a response.
"Make me a cup of coffee, Bianca."
He was unhappy when he noticed that Louis was bent over behind Bianca's back. After making that
request, he told his younger brother to meet him in the CEO's office on the top floor, then turned around
and went to his elevator.
Was the boss there to specifically ask for coffee or to look for his younger brother?
Either reason was ridiculous!
"Wait for me, Brother! Why are you so cold? No wonder everyone calls you the Cold-Faced Devil!"
Louis shouted as he chased Luke from behind.
The employees were quite impressed by how Louis had called Luke by that nickname.
In the CEO's office, Louis sat on the couch and said with a wide grin on his face, "That prospective wife
of yours isn't too bad, Brother. She can even make good coffee too. I'd consider making up to her if not
that she's already yours."
Luke's expression remained cold. "If you can still be flirting around in the design department, you look
like you have too much free time. Never mind, we need someone in East Africa to negotiate the
contract. You can go there the day after tomorrow."
Louis wailed. "You can't do that to me, Brother! You know that I have no talent in business, so why are
you sending me to that desolate place to negotiate a contract? What if I mess up?" "If you mess up,
then don't come back. You can learn a lot from the branch headquarters there." "...“ Louis was
speechless.
'He must not be my elder brother. If he's my elder brother, he wouldn't have dispatched me there.'
While they were chatting, Bianca was far away, making a cup of coffee for the boss.
When she entered the CEO’s office, she heard Louis say, "Brother, she makes good coffee. Can I get
her to make me a cup of coffee every day?" "Make your own coffee. Bianca only makes coffee for me."
Luke did not want Bianca to make coffee with another man, even if that man might be his younger
brother.
"Say, aren't you a little too possessive of your future wife?" Louis flashed a cheeky smile on his
handsome face.
"Shut up!" Luke interjected.
"Here's the coffee you requested, Mr. Crawford."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBianca placed the cup on the table and was about to leave when she heard Luke's distant yet caring
voice, "Are you used to working here yet?"
"I'll manage. I'll try my best to catch up with my colleagues," Bianca said seriously.
"Mm. Go and do your work then."
Luke's cold expression seemed to have warmed up by several degrees as he watched Bianca leave
the office. Louis was quite surprised.
'My elder brother can be a robot when it comes to work. Looks like he's gaining some humanity when
Bianca is around.'
However, Louis resumed his serious expression when he thought of the contents of Bianca's task.
"Brother, Bianca is still a design assistant, but I saw that the department lead gave her an important
task. Can a new employee like her handle that? I'm sure that the department lead is deliberately
making her life difficult."
Louis might be a playboy, but he had a sharp eye for reading expressions, especially from females.
He nearly wanted to throw up when he saw how the department lead was trying to gain his attention.
He might have bothered to entertain that woman for a while, if not that Old Master Crawford was
keeping a close eye on him.
"Bianca is a new recruit. If she wants to make her mark, then she'll have to show what she can do. She
is talented and diligent, but she is too sensitive and self-conscious. She'll need to experience some
hardship. Moreover, if she can't handle such a minor task, then she won't be of much use as an
employee. Even if I can harbor her for now, she won't enjoy it in the design department," Luke
explained.
He hoped that Bianca could grow and thrive in the design department...
At the same time, an article personally written by Eugene Hawking, CEO of JK Media, sent
shockwaves throughout A City!
