Chapter 6 Heart Racing

Penulis: Heap Heap
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.

    Bianca left.Luke suddenly put down the blueprint he had been holding. He stood up and left his workstation, walking toward his wine cabinet instead. There, he took out a glass and filled half of it with wine, draining the whole thing with a frown.This cursed lust!It was already quite late when Bianca left the company, but thankfully there was one last subway to take her home.Once she reached home, the first thing she did was reply to Jean’s messages on WeChat.After that, she pulled out her luggage and started to organize the things she needed for her trip tomorrow.Just then, her phone rang.The caller ID said it was Jean.“Aren’t you asleep yet? I thought I told you to rest early instead of calling me,” Bianca said in concern when she picked up.“I’m not done with work yet, so I brought the stuff back to the hotel room to continue overtime.” Jean continued, asking her, “I saw your text earlier. Why are you going outstation too? Who will you be going with?”“I don’t real

    Bianca did not dare to say anything more after the little boy turned his nose up at her.The time ticked past.The boy said, “It seems pretty awkward, huh.”The girl nodded.Bianca, “...”“Lady, you can call my father right now and tell him that you don’t want to care for us,” the boy said.He was quite the hostile little boy.“I never said I don’t want to take care of you.” She had to make that clear.How could she dare to say she did not want to care for her boss’ kids? The boss would eat her for lunch.“Since you want to take care of us, then you should act like you do.” The boy clearly did not like this cold atmosphere.This lady was much dumber than the other ones.Bianca, “...”It was her fault for not checking the almanac before she left the house.“Come with me, Big Bro.” The little girl could tell that the aunty’s expression was turning unpleasant, and she dragged her brother away angrily.Bianca let out a long breath, watching as the two children disappeared thr

    Little Rainie was unbelievably happy now that she had sneakily eaten some fried chicken behind her father's back. On the way back to the room, Rainie kept sticking to Bianca, hugging her leg like a koala to a tree.It was quite hard for Bianca to walk with a baby hanging off her leg.She had to limp all the way back upstairs. "It's really late now. I'll send you back to your room so you can get to sleep." The adult and two children watched cartoons in the room for a while before Bianca turned to the pair of siblings. The older brother looked up at her and said, “We don’t have the room card.”Rainie was hugging Bianca with her plump white hand, her eyes tightly closed. She was almost completely asleep now.Still, how could they get back without the room card?Bianca was feeling conflicted. She had no idea when the president would be able to finish his work for the day and return to the hotel. "Lemme call Mr. Doyle." Bianca looked at Rainie, who was already falling asleep. S

    For a few seconds there, Bianca's mind went blank!She frowned and inwardly berated herself for being so weak-willed.'Bianca, don't forget, you have Jean!'Jean is the only man you can feel anything for!'"You're with me now. How could you get distracted?!" The man forcefully pushed her white coat aside. There was a moist and warm sensation on her lips.He then lowered his head and kissed her hair. After a long time, his low voice spoke into her ear seductively. Bianca was about to explode when she heard the man’s low voice!Luke had a really nice scent of shower foam on him, just like she did. That meant that this man had just used her shower foam when he took a shower earlier.Bianca knew just how dangerous it would be if she did not put up a desperate fight right now.Just plain struggling was not going to work.All she could do was apologize in advance for disrespecting her boss. At least that would be better than whatever was going on now!Bianca’s eyes grew used to

    Bianca went back upstairs.The cleaner lady was tidying up her room.Bianca nodded at the cleaner politely and then walked to her closet, opening it and taking out one set of the clothes she had ironed last night. After that, she went to the bathroom to change into it.The cleaner worked very quickly.By the time Bianca was done washing her face, the room had been wiped more or less clean of every trace of Luke Crawford.She heaved a sigh of relief.Ten minutes ago, Jean had sent her a message. “Bianca, my team is done with the project. I’ll go to H City in the afternoon and visit you at your hotel. We get the day off tomorrow.”Bianca had replied with, “Sounds good. I’ll send you the hotel address.”For some reason, as she looked around the room Luke Crawford had spent the entire night in, she felt a little guilty.When the cleaner was done with her cleaning, she found Bianca staring at the bathroom, frowning and distracted.“I’m done,” the cleaner said with a smile, holding

    The two cars left the renowned hotel and headed back to the hotel they were staying in.Once they reached the hotel, Bianca got out of the car.Sue soon followed suit.At the hotel entrance, they saw Jason Doyle waiting, dressed in his smart suit and leather shoes.“Good afternoon, Mr. Doyle.” Just like Sue and the others, Bianca greeted Jason as she went in.Jason nodded at Bianca too, but his gaze changed when he looked at Bianca.After Bianca walked into the hotel lobby, Jason was still frowning slightly as he looked inside.Luke got out of the car and noticed that there was something off about Jason’s expression.As usual, he turned his dark gaze directly at Jason. 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

    By the time they returned to A City, it was already morning.Naturally, Tom drove the company Bentley back to the company.Sue alighted from the car.On the other side, Jean brought Bianca’s luggage down from the trunk as he said, “I’ll send you back home first so you can rest. Sleep well, and I’ll come find you at night.”Bianca nodded.They pushed their luggage along as they said goodbye to Sue and Tom. After that, they walked to the roadside and hailed a cab.Jean was thinking he should go buy a car tomorrow.It was too inconvenient without a car.Bianca was both tired and sleepy. She had slept for slightly over two hours in the car last night, but sleeping in the car was by no means comfortable.Before they could find a cab, Jean’s phone rang.“Let me pick this up.” Jean looked at his phone and gave Bianca’s a heads-up before accepting the call.Bianca looked at him and saw that he was frowning. He said “okay” into the phone a few times before adding, “Alright, I’ll be t

    “I don’t know who they’re from,” Bianca repeated.She did not want to see Jean’s hurt gaze. She did not want any more stains in her life.However, there was a fury burning in Jean’s eyes as he said, “You don’t know who they’re from? Are you kidding? Do you take me for a fool? 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

    “As long as he stays out of your sight, I won’t make a move,” said Ray.If Gordan were not one of Luke’s pals, he would have been long gone.Anyone who dared to mess with someone Ray cherished would not be let off easily. The only reason Gordan was still breathing was thanks to Luke.“Alright, Ray. Just let it go. I’ve moved on and started a new life. Plus, I’m studying at Capital University. We have mutual friends, so running into him is inevitable. If that happens, we’ll just be strangers. There’s no need to step in for me or act impulsively.” Just as Vivian finished speaking, the doorbell rang.“Is it the clothes delivery?” asked Ray.“No, while you were talking with Mr. Crawford, I asked someone to buy some medicinal cream. The ones here work better than the ones in Russia. A little massage with it should help you heal faster,” Vivian said, grabbing a mask and hat before heading to the door.“Miss, is the boss alright?” asked one of Ray’s subordinates.“He’s fine.

    When Ray heard that there was a 90% chance of success, he could not help but ask, “Can you walk me through your plan?”“The prison where Kassy is being held actually has an underground passage. I’ve already spoken with the prison officials, and we can use that passage to transport her out. It connects to the sewage system, which leads directly to another detention facility. "The only catch is that this facility’s underground pipes don’t connect to the outside world, so the remaining 10% risk lies in moving Kassy onto the main road and securing her at the new location.“This whole operation can be done without anyone noticing, which is why I’m confident it’ll work.” As Luke explained, he pulled out a detailed map of the sewer system. “Here’s the layout I had someone retrieve. This is the starting point, and this is the destination. If we take this route, we can move Kassy without alerting Abel’s people.”Abel’s men were keeping a constant watch outside the prison now. That was prec

    Luke had no idea what kind of mindset the person who poisoned Vivian had. However, he found Gordan’s current behavior quite intriguing.“Luke, what’s with that look?” Gordan felt uneasy under his gaze.“You seem pretty concerned about Vivian,” Luke leaned back on the couch and said thoughtfully.Gordan froze for a moment before laughing it off. “What? No way! Why would I care about her? Come on, Luke, don’t say stuff like that. If she hears it, she might start getting ideas.”Luke could not be bothered to expose his act and got straight to the point. “Why are you here?”“Speaking of that, I almost got sidetracked by that woman.” Gordan quickly pulled out his phone, grimacing. “Man, Ray really didn’t hold back. I need to get some treatment for these bruises later.”Luke took the phone and tried to unlock it. It needed a passcode. He handed it back. “Unlock it.”“All set, boss.” Gordan unlocked the phone and went back to pressing an ice pack against his face.Luke scanned the scr

    It was the sound of a body slamming onto the ground.Gordan’s furious curses rang out. “Damn it! You're really going all out, huh? Do you think I'm scared of you?”Another loud thud followed.Vivian frowned. What the hell were they doing? Were they really going to fight until one of them won?Both of them were skilled fighters. If they kept this up, neither would walk away unscathed.“Enough!” shouted Vivian.The two men locked in the fight froze for a moment.“Vivian, stay out of this. I’m beating him to a pulp today,” growled Ray, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was not in great shape, but neither was Gordan.“Ray, I don’t want to see him,” said Vivian. She did not want Ray fighting him. It was not to protect Gordan but because she did not want Ray getting hurt.Also, she definitely did not want Gordan to see her like this. She could already picture his smug face, his sarcastic remarks and his gloating.“Fine. If you don’t want to see him, I’ll just beat

    After returning to the hotel from the hospital, Vivian felt much better.To her, the fact that Ray had taken her to the hospital meant there was hope for the future, which lifted her spirits. She picked up an apple from the fruit platter the hotel had provided and took a bite.“Ray, this apple is really good. Want to try one?” asked Vivian.Ray shook his head. “You go ahead. By the way, can I take a look at the luggage you brought from Russia?”Vivian nodded. “I only hung up my clothes. Everything else is still in the suitcase. You can just take the things out.”Ray walked into the bedroom, pulled out her suitcase, and opened it. Inside were just books and a few other small items, nothing unusual.“You didn't bring any food with you?” asked Ray.“I haven’t really been in the mood, but the food here is way better than Russian food, so I didn't feel the need to bring anything.” Vivian’s tone was lighthearted now that she was in a better mood.“That's true.” Ray agreed, then asked

    Ray's tone turned serious. “Alright, I'll make the arrangements immediately. Dr. Craw, once the toxicology report is out, we’ll still need your help.”“For toxicology cases like this, I recommend combining both modern medicine and traditional herbal medicine. Don’t worry, if I can help, I definitely will,” Luca assured him.“Alright, thank you.” Ray expressed his gratitude and ended the call before updating Luke on the situation.Luke reassured him, saying, “If Vivian was really poisoned, don’t worry. Previously, Luca discovered that her biological mother had been poisoned with a slow-acting toxin. She prescribed herbal medicine and used purely traditional herbal medicine to detoxify her. It didn’t take long for all the toxins to be expelled, and her health fully recovered. So, rest assured. If it’s something she can fix, she’ll do everything she can.“Besides, once we identify the exact problem, the doctors will be able to step in and help, right?”“Yes. Thank you both in advance

    Gerald walked over. “Ms. Sanchez, what's wrong?”He was eager to get back upstairs and stash his cigarettes before someone noticed and took them.Hera yanked open his bag, glanced at the cigarette brand, and scoffed. “I thought it was some expensive brand. But it's just this? And you’re acting all deferential to her over this?”Gerald was rendered speechless. “I knew Ms. Craw was going out, so I asked her to bring these back for me. This is the brand I’m used to. Maybe it’s not expensive to you, but for me, it’s what I can afford.”Realizing she had misspoken, Hera felt a bit awkward. She quickly changed the topic. “Still, is a pack of cigarettes really worth you being so grateful to Luca? How much could it have cost?”“It’s not about the money,” replied Gerald. “It's just a nice surprise. I never expected to get anything out of helping Ms. Craw, and this kind of unexpected gift has nothing to do with the price. Besides, I'm not being overly grateful. I'm just happy.”He was ba

    Luca’s lips were already swollen and flushed from Luke's kisses.That deep shade of red, reflected in Luke’s eyes, was utterly captivating. It tugged at his nerves, stirring an uncontrollable desire within him.At that moment, he had only one thought, and it was to completely lose himself in her.…The two of them stepped out of the bedroom.Vivian quickly turned her back and greeted Luke when he saw him coming out, “Hello, Mr. Crawford.”“Vivian, don’t worry.

    “I once treated someone who had been slowly poisoned over a long period of time. Their pulse was similar to Vivian’s. Given that your family has good genetics, yet Vivian is different from the rest of you, and her skin improved after leaving her original environment, all of this confirms my suspicion.“Could it be that someone in your family has been poisoning Vivian? That would explain why her skin ended up like this.”“If she really has been poisoned, then would staying away from that environment or identifying the person responsible help her get better?” asked Ray.Luca shook her head.“The poison I’ve encountered before was a slow-acting toxin that kept the victim’s skin dark. I don’t know exactly what it was, but long-term exposure to any poison has an effect on the body. It's just a suspicion now. I need to consult someone I know.
