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 really know who yet. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out,” Bianca replied.

“If there are men going with you, remember to stay away from them,” Jean reminded her. “After all, we just started working, so you don’t know them well enough yet.”

“Alright, I got it,” Bianca said. Immediately after that, she suddenly heard a hammering sound on the other end. It sounded like someone knocking on the door.

No, rather than knocking, it sounded more like someone trying to beat the door down!

“What’s the matter?” Bianca asked nervously.

“N-Nothing.” Jean was stuttering all of a sudden, but then he said quickly, “Talk to you later? I’ll check on what’s happening outside and then report back to you.”

He hung up before Bianca could tell him to be careful out there.

She lowered her head to look at her luggage and then at the phone she was holding, its screen dimming after the call ended. Bianca was worried now, concerned that Jean would encounter trouble out there too, with unfamiliar people in unfamiliar places.

Nothing happened that night.

The next day.

Bianca received a call from her colleague first thing in the morning.

She waited for her colleague outside her compound, her weariness showing on her face. She had stayed up until the wee hours of the morning last night, waiting for Jean’s call to assure her everything was fine, but he never called.

She tried calling him, but his phone was switched off.

More than ten minutes later, a black Bentley stopped in front of her. A man and a woman got out of it.

They introduced themselves and got to know each other.

The three of them then got into the car again.

It took seven hours by car to get to the city they were assigned to. Since they would need a car there, the higher-ups had arranged for a male colleague to drive one of the company’s Bentleys over there, for convenience’s sake.

Bianca chatted with her colleagues along the way. They got along quite well, laughing and joking with each other.

It was afternoon by the time they reached H City.

When they checked into the hotel, her female colleague Sue told Bianca, “Let’s go back to our respective rooms first and get changed, get some rest. We’ll be in contact again when it’s time for dinner.”

“Sure,” Bianca said with a nod.

Bianca brought her medium-sized luggage upstairs and went into her room. She took a shower and changed into her nightclothes before taking out the clothes she needed for work, ironing them carefully.

Once done, she hung the clothes up in advance.

Having completed all her preparations, she glanced at the time. It was already four o’clock exactly.

Jean had not called her even once since last night until now. He had not even sent her a single message.

Now that she finally had time, she gave Jean a call.

His phone was finally on this time.

However, the dial tone went on for a while without anyone picking up.

Bianca was even more worried now, so she called him again. This time, her call was outright rejected.

“Sorry, I’m busy right now and I can’t pick up. Will call you when I’m free.” Soon, she received a text from Jean on WeChat.

Bianca lowered her head and replied, “Okay, I’ll leave you to your work.”

It seemed like he was safe on his end, at least. The person hammering on his door last night might have been a random drunkard going to the wrong hotel room last night.

After she replied to his message, Bianca put her phone down, looking for something else to do.

As soon as she turned, though, her phone vibrated again.

She had barely turned away when she had to turn back and check the message on her phone.

It was a WeChat message, but it was a complete mess. “Hahahaha you guessed it fiber mesh I started an entrance fee iFeng…”

The sender was Jean, who was supposedly “busy” right now.

Bianca frowned.

“?” She sent him a question mark.

After more than a minute, Jean finally replied. “I was drawing something and my arm accidentally touched the screen.” That was why he sent her such a random string of words.

Bianca did not think much of it.

“Doot… Doot… Doot…”

Someone rang her room bell.

“Who is it?” Bianca was very cautious since she was in an unfamiliar place and an unfamiliar city.

A middle-aged man’s voice came from outside. “Miss Rayne, I’m Jason Doyle, Mr. Crawford’s special assistant. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to open the door for me.”

Luke Crawford’s most trusted special assistant, Jason Doyle, was quite well-known. Almost everyone in the company knew about him, and that included Bianca, a newbie.

She opened the door.

“Nice to meet you.” Bianca had barely greeted him when she lowered her head and saw that there were two tiny children standing at the door as well.

One was a baby boy and the other a baby girl, their eyes bright and their teeth brighter. They looked like two perfect dolls.

Jason Doyle was standing in a suit, his spine straight as an arrow. Exasperated, he said, “These two are Mr. Crawford’s children. Their father is busy with work and can’t care for them, so…”

Bianca had a bad feeling about this.

She was not particularly averse to taking care of kids for others, but it just felt so strange to her. After all, she was here to work, not to be a babysitter.

Another major reason she did not really want to take care of the children was because she was worried that seeing someone else’s kids would keep reminding her of her own.

“I-I’ll be good, I promise,” the little girl said softly.

She raised her head to look at Bianca, blinking her innocent black eyes.

“Big Brother—” The little girl saw that her brother, the little boy, was not saying anything, so she pouted angrily and tugged at her brother’s clothes, trying to make him talk.

Bianca turned to look at the boy instead.

The older brother was slightly taller than his sister, but though he kept a cool expression, he was clearly fond of his sister. That was why he raised his head and told Bianca, who was beyond the door, “I’ll be a good boy too.”

Jason glanced at his watch and said, “I’ll leave the kids to you, Miss Rayne. There’s something else I have to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Bianca did not have the chance to refuse.

Jason quickly left, and Bianca looked down at the two children, saying, “Come on in, the two of you.”

The younger sister reached out her short little hand to grab her brother’s, then they walked into the room together.

“Do you want anything to drink?” Bianca did not know how to handle kids, especially kids with such a special status.

“I want milk,” the girl said, sitting on the couch properly.

Bianca hurriedly dug out some milk. The milk in the hotel room was extremely expensive; the same milk that was sold for 3.50 yuan in the market was sold for 89 here.

Bianca sucked in a breath when she saw the price tag, then she opened the carton and found two glasses, pouring each of the kids one glass.

The haughty and cold-faced older brother did not drink any of it.

The little sister sat on the couch, swinging her legs as she drank half of the cup and then finishing all of it, even licking her lips to make sure she got every bit of it…

Bianca sat on a chair awkwardly, looking at the little darlings on the chair and trying to find something to talk about. “Are you two twins?”

“Of course,” the haughty older brother said. He even rolled his eyes, his gaze filled with contempt at Bianca.

‘Idiot,’ he seemed to say, ‘my sister and I look so similar. Of course we’re twins!’

"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.

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

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.

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

In all of her years, this was the first time she had grabbed a man's belt of her own accord.On those nights five years ago, Bianca had not touched the man's clothes or anything like that.

    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. Her eyes were red and swollen.When she came to the second floor, she caught sight of Luca stepping out of the lab with a tray in hand. 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. Just go. Who are y

    “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
