Chapter 143 How Are You Going To Thank Him?
When Luke’s eyes fell on her, there were no obvious reactions.
Just when she was at a loss and did not know whether to exit or stay, he frowned and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. He took his phone, got up, and left the huge conference room.
The meeting room had two doors.
He walked through the other door.
Bianca stood there for a long, long tbefore she remembered what she was there for.
She turned on the machine and turned down the volume. After putting on the headset, she then looked at the meeting content displayed on the projection screen. She jotted down the key points while she watched the recording, her fingers typing away on her laptop's keyboard in front of her.
After recording down the content of the previous meeting, it was already past three in the afternoon when Bianca went back down.
Sue had been waiting for her for a long time.
When she saw Bianca, Sue thoughtfully placed a cup of coffee on her table. "I heard from Jason that you've found your grandfather."
Bianca took the cup of coffee and placed it next to her laptop. While she turned on her laptop, she said, 'Thanks for your hard work with Mr. Doyle. I owe you two a meal."
Sue joked, saying, "Thank us for what? We're not part-tworkers. It was part of the job. The person you should thank is Mr. Crawford."
Bianca's fingers that were tapping the keyboard paused.
Sue nudged Bianca with her elbow and smiled. "How are you going to thank him? Are you going to give him a fun ttonight?"
Bianca's fingers that had stopped on the keyboard did not move.
When Sue noticed that there was something wrong with Bianca, she lowered her head and saw that Bianca’s fingers were all curled up. Her facial expression indicated that Bianca had something on her mind, something serious.
"What’s the matter? Did you and the boss... Quarrel?" Sue finished asking and recalled Mr. Crawford's mood at the meeting that day.
There was no obvious difference.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSue secretly scolded herself for being too naive. During the meeting, she thought that the boss was in a bad mood because Jean had drugged Bianca with sleeping pills.
However, it seemed that it was not the case.
"I'm not in a relationship with Mr. Crawford, and..." Bianca thought for a while. She lowered her head and said, "I’m married."
Sue looked at Bianca and was silent.
After a long time, Sue let out a laugh. "What kind of joke is that? Saying that you're married is the same as my mom tellingthat she's not my biological mom and that my real mom is actually the queen of England!"
Tm not joking." Bianca looked straight into Sue's eyes seriously.
Sue,
Bianca was married.
Bianca actually got married.
Sue could not believe it.
'So who's Mr. Crawford to her?'
As the powerful CEO of T Corporation, countless women from influential families wished that he would propose to them and get married to him. However, none of them could move Mr. Crawford's heart, so much so that there was not a single woman in his private life ever.
However, her boss fell in love with a married young woman...
Sue thought that the world was crazy.
She sat back in her seat and Sue tried to put her focus back on her work. However, she found out that she could not do it.
'How could Bianca be a married woman with a husband while having a relationship with our boss?'
She wondered if the lust between the two of them was unstoppable, which blinded her boss and put him into deep trouble, or was it Bianca who pretended to be innocent and deceived their boss, so he found out about the truth of her being married. Was that the cause of the anger in the boss' face during the meeting?
Bianca buried her head in her work and looked haggard.
Sue tilted her head and looked at her. She could not believe that Bianca could do such a thing, playing two men. At the stime, she could not believe that she had made the wrong judgment on a person.
If you have nothing on tonight, let's go out and have a drink together.' Sue sent a text to Bianca. After sending it and thinking about it, she was worried that Bianca would refuse, so she added, 'You can make it up forfor helping you guard your house while waiting for your grandpa.'
Bianca responded that she was fine with the plan.
When working hours were almost done, Bianca went out to wash her coffee cup and ran into Nina who had just returned from work outside.
Nina directly told Bianca, "I'll go to your house after I get off work to talk about something."
Sue walked over. "I've already made plans with Bianca to drink tonight. If you don’t mind talking about it while I'm around, why don’t the three of us go together?”
Nina did not hate Sue, so she nodded immediately, "No problem."
When it was tto get off work.
The three of them went to the bar together.
"Is this your first tcoming here?" Sue was obviously a regular customer there and asked Bianca after sitting down.
Bianca nodded slightly.
Soon, the waiter brought the beer over.
Nina uncapped the beer and poured them into three glasses. After she sat down, she picked up her own glass and started drinking.
After quenching her thirst, Nina said, "In the past years, Bea has never had a chance to go to a bar. She was only met with bitter days after moving to A City. I could see all of it in her eyes. Her
stepmother's bullying and her dad's worsening health... In short, everything bad caught up to her. There are too many things about Bea that you might not know, Sue. I know about all of them." 1
After listening to what Nina said, Sue looked at Nina who took another sip of beer. "Do you also know that Bea is married?" "Pff-"
The sip of beer was sprayed all over the table.
Even though Sue was shocked by her reaction, she also took out a few tissues for Nina.
Nina looked at Bianca.
"You're married? Why don't I know about that? Who did you marry?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the stwhen Nina asked, she wondered if Bianca had secretly married their boss.
"I just got the marriage certificate a week ago. Let's not talk about it. In conclusion, the only relationship I have with Mr. Crawford is that of an employer and employee now." Bianca did not want to mention Xavier to anyone.
At the stime, Sue and Nina thought about the week before...
'Wasn't that the critical period when... Bianca's grandfather disappeared?
'Is it possible that there's a relation between her getting her marriage certificate and her grandpa's disappearance?'
After half an hour.
There were a dozen empty beer bottles on the table.
Nina patted Bianca on the shoulder and said, "I don't blyou at all. My brother did that to himself. In case you didn't know, my brother... My brother was going to..."
After Nina said that, she could not continue.
After her brother went to the police station, she accompanied her parents there. The police found a lot of bad information on her brother's phone.
Nina also saw the information and photos. She finally found out how dirty her brother was.
"What was he going to do to me?" Bianca asked.
"Forget about it, it's all over now..." Nina poured another glass of beer for Bianca and Sue.
Amidst the slow music in the bar, someone’s phone rang.
"Whose phone is it?" Nina asked around and finally said to Bianca, "I think it's yours."
Bianca did not drink much because she was bad at holding her liquor.
However, she was already starting to feel a little tipsy.
When she took out her phone to see who it was, she saw that the call was from an unknown number.
Bianca answered her phone.
"Bea, I don’t care what you're up to right now, but get back hthis instant." It was Xavier’s mother, Luke's aunt's, voice.
Bianca could tell from her tone that she was suppressing her anger.
"What's the matter?" Bianca did not understand that family nor did she want to deal with the meaningless annoyance that the family had created.
"Are you seriously asking... What's the matter? What's not clear to you? Old Master Crawford is at our doorstep asking for you, telling us that we’ve abducted his granddaughter-in-law. Cback right now and explain it to him! I can't believe that I was tricked!"
