Ten minutes later, Jean was done with his interview.

He pushed the door open and walked out.

Bianca immediately got to his feet. “How was it?”

“The interviewers ask some tough questions, but it isn’t anything we can’t handle.” Jean could not help but kiss Bianca on the forehead, saying calmly, “Overall, it’s not bad.”

Bianca heaved a sigh of relief.

“Next, Bianca Rayne,” the female secretary called out.

Bianca hurriedly straightened out her clothing and went inside anxiously.

The second she walked into the room, Luke looked at her with a complicated gaze.

Bianca sat down properly and raised her head, meeting each interviewer’s eyes, one at a time.

After that, she introduced herself briefly. “Good morning, everyone. First of all, thank you for giving me this opportunity to attend this interview. My name is Bianca Rayne.”

Since she decided to return to this country and find a job here, she had come up with plenty of interview openers in her mind.

It may not be the most creative way to begin, but it was solid enough and faultless.

The interview continued on.

Luke assessed her with his cold gaze.

Perhaps his stare was just too piercing. While Bianca responded to all of the interview questions expertly, she felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

It did not just feel like someone was glaring daggers at her. Instead, it felt like a peculiar type of thorn pricking her all over her body.

In truth, Bianca had glanced at Luke too when she first walked into the room.

Nevertheless, this was a formal interview, and she had to treat it seriously. Although she had plenty of questions in her heart, she did not dare to let her guard down and become distracted.

“Miss Rayne, are you married?” Luke’s cool voice suddenly interrupted the interviewers, asking a question that left all the professional interviewers speechless.

All the interviewers stopped their formal exchange with Bianca, turning to look at their big boss in unison. He was part of the panel too.

“No, I’m not,” Bianca said, trying to calm herself down. Her heart was actually already racing.

“In that case, do you have someone you intend to marry?” Luke frowned and asked again.

Bianca paused for a moment before she nodded and replied, “I do.”

The interviewers were all feeling quite lost. Why was their boss asking this question?

Their short conversation allowed Bianca to get a better look at Luke’s gorgeous features. Now that she had seen him in person, he did look a lot like that upperclassman from the high school next door back then.

This successful businessman was vastly different from the boy that had celebrated his youth in school, though.

Be it in his presence or the expression on his face, Luke Crawford seemed to her like a cold and ruthless man.

The interview was finally over.

Bianca walked out of the room, feeling weak in the knees.

“How was it? Tell me!” Nina was the first to run up to her and ask.

Bianca was stumped, so she said, “The interviewer asked me if I’m married, and if I’m not, if there’s anyone I intend to marry.”

Jean frowned when he heard that. What kind of a stupid question was that?

It was infringing on her privacy.

However, Nina said, “Oh, that’s normal here in this country. In fact, they're being polite by not asking if you have kids.”

“But why would they ask something like that?” Bianca asked in confusion as they went downstairs.

“Because kids will get in the way of your career,” Nina replied, looking at her brother and Bianca. “Most local companies discriminate against married women with children. You only recently got back here, so you just gotta get used to it.”

That afternoon.

Bianca and Jean both received calls informing them that they would have a two-month probationary period. If they passed all the tests during the next two months, they would be able to stay at T Corporation permanently as official staff members.

The next day.

Jean and Nina picked Bianca up, and they went to work together.

“I plan on buying a car so we won’t have to take my lil sis’s car after this,” Jean said to Bianca before they walked into the design department’s work area.

“What, you don’t want me as a third wheel?” Nina teased, purposely walking between the two of them.

Bianca smiled and said, “Neither of you has to pick me up starting tomorrow. It’s too much trouble for you to make such a long detour to my place, and it’s very convenient for me to take the subway anyway.”

It was the first day of work.

Bianca was unnaturally serious at work.

That afternoon, Jean was suddenly dragged out on an outstation trip by one of their designer seniors in the department.

Before he left, Jean grabbed the laptop he designated solely for work and gave Bianca a hurried heads-up before he had to go downstairs.

Actually, Jean was feeling pretty confused himself. What was the design department playing at?

Seriously, taking a rookie out on a business trip? What if he worked too slowly and dragged down the team’s overall efficiency?

Bianca did not have the time to wonder about that, though. She quickly familiarized herself with the nuts and bolts of her job.

When it was about time to get off from work, Nina walked up to Bianca and said, “You done? Come to my place for dinner. Your future mother-in-law’s invitation.”

Bianca was just getting used to the company’s best building blueprints over the years. When she heard that, she raised her head and said awkwardly, “I just got told I have to stay for overtime…”

Nina’s eyes widened, and she hurriedly ran back to her workstation to check her emails.

Dang, there really was overtime!

It was true that designers had to stay overtime quite often, but Bianca and her brother were especially unfortunate here. One was sent outstation on the first day on the job, while the other had to stay back.

The team ate takeaway together for dinner before continuing to bury their heads in their work.

At half-past ten that night.

The supervisor finally allowed Nina and the other two girls to go home.

Bianca had to keep going, though.

Her biological clock was going haywire, so Bianca was actually quite exhausted by now.

She stood up and took her cup to get herself some coffee.

When she returned with her coffee, though, her supervisor saw her and said, “The big boss wants this blueprint. Hurry up and bring it to her.”

Bianca immediately put her cup down and took the blueprint, leaving the design department.

There were only three people left in the design department, a supervisor, a senior designer, and her, a glorified intern.

Take the blueprint to the boss, huh?

As Bianca walked into the elevator, Luke Crawford’s delicate features appeared in her mind.

The elevator went up, all the way to the top floor.

Bianca ventured around and finally found the presidential office.

She knocked on the door.

“Come in.” The man’s voice was completely lacking warmth, but it was deep and rich.

Bianca went in, walking toward the large desk in the office with the cold color scheme. She placed the blueprint on the desk, saying, “This is the blueprint you wanted, sir.”

Luke was also focused on his work, so he just reached out his hand to accept the blueprint before holding it up for examination. When Bianca was about to leave, he suddenly raised his head to look at her.

Bianca did not want to seem rude, so she had to keep standing there. Could there be something the president wanted with her?

Luke’s gaze lingered on her for a long while. After five years, this woman had become even fairer and more voluptuous. Both her looks and her aura were her exquisite.

“You can call it a day now. Go home and get prepared, because you’ll be going on a business trip with me tomorrow.” Luke pulled his gaze away from her and turned it back onto his work.

Bianca wanted to say that she was not capable enough to bear such a huge responsibility as of yet, but Luke had given those orders quite coldly and stiffly. His tone brooked no argument.

All she could do was nod and leave the room.

Luke turned to look at her again. Her back was beautiful, particularly her slender and flexible waist.

It was only a long while later when the man realized that everything from his throat to his chest had gone numb.

I think the strategy is not to finish a book but to entice everyone to read many new books without finishing a single book.

When Jason realized something amiss, he hurriedly turned around too, looking at his boss perfectly professionally.Standing tall and straight, Luke strode into the hotel, his voice icy cold as he stated, “You were looking at her.”He was addressing Jason, who was behind him.Jason seemed to be deliberating if

Bianca Rayne, it’s barely been a week since we came back, and you already have another man in your life. If it’s strictly platonic, which man would spend so much money flying in fresh flowers for you?”Bianca could not stand the way Jean was staring daggers at her.She knew she did no wrong. Her conscience was clear.It was true that she did not know who sent her the flowers.“I’m going to work.” Finally, Bianca just said those words to Jean calmly, turning around and throwing the flowers into a rubbish bin nearby without giving them another glance.Jean watched her back as Bianca walked over to the opposite side of the road calmly. Instinctively, his hands clenched into fists.She walked toward the subway

    Not only did Luke not give in, but he wasn't intimidated by Hera's threats either. Instead, he turned the tables and intimidated her right back.Gerald could not help but feel a sense of admiration for Luke. If it had been him in that situation, he would not have had the guts to refuse Hera outright. Even if he did not want to comply, who would dare offend the boss’ future wife?Even though her position was not set in stone, for now, Hera’s status remained unshakable. Yet Luke did not try to curry favor with her. Faced with threats and temptation, he stood his ground, even flipping the situation to intimidate her instead.Gerald quietly gave a thumbs-up.“This guy’s the real deal,” he muttered to himself.After venting her frustration on the tree, Hera stormed back.

She quickly approached.“Stop right there!” Hera snapped sharply.Luca frow

    A flash of disgust flickered in Luke's eyes. He was completely fed up with Hera's relentless pestering.“If you have something to say, just say it here.” Unlike other men, he did not address her politely as 'Ms. Sanchez'.His tone was so indifferent, and he did not even bother to call her by name.Hera’s smile did not falter. She thought he was only acting this distance because there were so many people around, and he could not openly show his affection for her.Hera replied in a soft voice, “It’s something important, and they won’t be able to help. Come with me.”Luke frowned and remained motionless.People around them grew envious.Even if Luke did not actually have a romantic interest in her, just helping Hera would be enough to earn points in their boss’ eyes. Their jealousy turned into playful teasing.“The boss’ girlfriend’s asking for help. Just go already. What’s with the cold act? It’s no fun,” teased one of them.Others chimed in, “Yeah, seriously.

    “I know you’re not interested in her, but still, we should be cautious,” Luca joked, trying to lighten the mood.She was actually worried that Hera’s feelings for Luke might interfere with their plans.Luca looked at him with concern. “You weren’t in your room last night. If she really went to your room, she must've noticed your absence. How will you explain that?”“There are plenty of reasons I could give.” Luke already had an explanation in mind.However, if Hera really had feelings for him and stayed here, it would definitely cause him some trouble.“Just be careful.” Luca felt helpless. Abel’s sudden appearance had already messed up a lot of their plans.There was no way for her to leave this little villa now.With Abel bringing Hera here and her developing feelings for Luke, it was bound to cause more trouble for him later.Luca felt frustrated. She had enough trouble on her own. She did not want Luke to get caught up in trouble too. She had never intended for him to be

    The man remained cautious. When he heard Hera was looking for Luke’s room, he immediately asked, “What do you need with Lucius?”Hera felt like her intentions had been seen through, and a sense of unease washed over her. However, when she thought about her status and position, she confidently replied, “Your boss said that Lucius is to serve me from now on. I'm hungry now, so I need him to go get me some late-night snacks. What's the matter? Is that not allowed?”The man remained silent, thinking that Hera could just order delivery.Why go to another man's room in the middle of the night?He thought about a possible reason and could not help feeling a little jealous, thinking that he was definitely more handsome than Luke. His feelings of imbalance grew. Why go to Lucius and not him?Hera, noticing his hesitation, snapped, “What are you zoning out for? Are you going to go for him?”If it had been any other task, the man would have been happy to step in. Still, something like g

    “Alright, I'm really tired. How about we rest for a bit?” After kissing him, Luca snuggled against his waist and playfully whined. “The medication I took has some strong side effects. I've been feeling drowsy for hours. Can we sleep now?”A flash of concern appeared in Luke's deep eyes. His voice was hoarse as he replied, “Okay.”After lying down, Luca suddenly remembered Hera. She asked, “Have you met Hera?”“Hera? That woman?” Luke pulled her closer into his embrace.“Yeah.” Luca could tell from his tone that he did not remember who Hera was, so she explained, “Hera was a classmate of ours in high school, the popular girl. She was interested in you back then. We even ran into her once when we were abroad.”Her memory was sharp, and she remembered clearly all the details about people and events that did not seem important.Luke only caught one detail—she was a former classmate.“I don’t remember,” replied Luke.Luca continued, “Back then, Hera had a crush on you, but... I didn

    “It's nothing. I just think you and our boss make a perfect match.” Luca decided not to say anything more. She was unwilling to risk causing trouble for herself.Hera felt that there was something mocking in her tone. It was meant to be a compliment, yet it felt like mockery, leaving her with the sense that something was off.Hera let out a cold snort. “Of course, we’re a perfect match. No need for you to say it.”Even though she knew there was an undertone of sarcasm, she still acknowledged it. She sized Luca up with a look of disdain. “You’re a doctor, right?”Luca shook her head. “Not exactly.”Gerald explained, “Ms. Sanchez, she’s skilled in medicine, but she wouldn’t call herself a doctor.”Hera shot him an annoyed glance and then turned back to Luca. “It’s fine as long as you know medicine. I’m not feeling well. Come help me with some treatment.”Gerald had no choice but to awkwardly suggest, “Ms. Sanchez, if you're not feeling unwell, perhaps I could ask Mr. Shanks to che

    The volunteer was attended to in shifts, and he asked the person in the current shift, “Did that person leave?”“Yes.” The man attending him let out a sigh of relief. He had been so nervous when Abel was here that he could barely breathe.“Who was that person?” the volunteer asked curiously. He could not see, but he could still sense the heavy, oppressive aura. It was as though the person might take his life at any moment.“Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t know. Just focus on your recovery,” replied the man.The volunteer heaved a sigh and gently turned around. Lying here, he had no idea when it would end. However, ever since the nerves had started reacting, he felt that his legs were getting better day by day.After a while, Luca entered, carrying a tray of dry needling tools. She glanced at the attendant, noticing that it was another man today.Luca asked, “Did the boss come by earlier?”“Yes.” The man nodded.Luca’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at the volunteer, wh

    Shanks furrowed his brows. He knew Abel would snap, but he did not expect him to go this far.He grabbed Luca and pulled her behind him. “Abel, what the hell is wrong with you?”Luca touched her quickly swelling face. A flash of hatred crossed her mind, but she was also worried about Luke. If Luke found out that Abel hurt her, he would definitely lose it. She had to keep everything under control for the sake of her child.With that thought, Luca took a step back, exposing half of her swollen face to look at Abel.Abel was furious at the sight. “She’s useless, and that’s why the experiment is going so slowly. What’s wrong with me giving her a slap?”Shanks’ face turned livid at his crazy words. “This experiment is mine. If you have an issue with it, take it up with me. There’s no reason to take it out on her. I’ll do what you want and increase the dosage. But if this volunteer dies, you’ll have a hell of a time finding another one for the clinical trials.

    Hera suddenly felt a chill and turned to look at Abel.His expression was calm, not as eerie as when he was angry, but she still felt an unsettling vibe from him. Was he jealous?Hera quickly tried to flatter him, saying, “No way, I think the most good-looking man here is you, my dear.”Abel did not show any sign of happiness at her flattery. He did not actually have feelings for Hera. Her sweet words could not fool him.“Since you like him so much, let him stay with you and work for you in the next few days.” Abel was indifferent.As long as Hera did not embarrass him by cheating on him here, it was fine.Hera was a bit surprised, but at the same time, she realized that Abel did not really like her. If he truly cared about her, he would have been jealous when she kept staring at another man.Once she accepted that this was all just a business arrangement, she happily agreed, “Alright. Thank you, my dear.”Luke’s gaze darkened for a moment, but no one was paying attention.Abe
