Ch. 2501..2510

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2501-The maid noticed that Leia was feeling weak. She came forward to help her up and said, “Ms. Norman, don't be mad. I don't intend to have the steak..."

Leia pushed the maid's hand away and snatched the packaging that contained the steak in her hands.

"Ms. Leia!" The maid let out a cry as Leia stepped on her foot when she was snatching the food from her.

Leia sneered at her and threw the steak into the trash bin. "You refuse to let me have it, huh?! Don't even think of having it for yourself. Is that something people like you can afford?"

The maid's face turned pale as her foot hurt.

The maid felt grievously wronged for what Leia said to her. The steak was initially for her guest. The guest had left, but she was not planning on having it. However, Leia was not allowed to have it either, and that was why she stopped her.

Still, not only was Leia humiliating her, but she even intentionally stepped on her foot. The maid felt hard done by her.

Leia let out a sneer when she saw the maid's reddened eyes and said, "Go back to the kitchen. Don't stay here and be an eyesore."

The maid frowned and turned around. She recalled what Queenie told her on the phone just now. She had no choice but to turn around again, "Ms. Norman."

"Did I not make myself clear?" Leia scowled as hatred filled her eyes.

Although the maid came here to serve her, it was obvious that she came here to keep an eye on her too!

The maid summarized everything and said, "Ms. Norman, Mrs. Norman called and said that the Light Festival will be held in two days. She wondered if you were going back home for dinner."

"No. I don't have time." Leia rejected it without a second thought.

Even though it was Jack's arrangement for Leia to stay here and Queenie had nothing to do with it, Leia held a grudge in her heart.

Leia hated Queenie for being worthless. She would not have had to accept Dexter's liver if Queenie was willing to pay for a liver. She would not have to stay in this small and narrow apartment without being allowed to go home.

Leia could have lived her life as Ms. Norman without having to worry about money. It was all because of Queenie.

If Queenie could be more firm, Leia would still be living in Norman Residence while enjoying the flattery of others.

"Okay." The maid did not persuade her. After she got the answer, she hurried to the kitchen as though she was running away from a monster.

Leia sneered and scolded, “Coward.”

The maid did not stop as though she did not hear what she said.

When she returned to the kitchen, the maid told Queenie about Leia's response.

Leia refused to talk to Queenie now. Hence, the maid conveyed the message.

Queenie could not help but let out a sigh when she heard what the maid said. “I got it. By the way, is Leia able to sleep well these days?"

Queenie heard that Leia was unable to sleep well at the apartment after she got discharged from the hospital. novelbin

She thought of asking Leia to stay in Norman Residence for a while, leaving the other matters to be discussed later after she recovered. However, Jack did not allow that.

Hence, Leia was sent to the apartment right after she got discharged.

Therefore, Leia had been feeling dissatisfied with their arrangement since then.

"It's still the same. I informed the doctor about her situation when she went for a check-up two days ago, but the doctor doesn't plan to give Ms. Norman any sleeping pills. It's to prevent the side effects of the medicine," answered the maid. She could feel the throbbing pain in her foot, so she moved a chair and sat down on it.

"Sigh, what the doctor said makes sense too..." Queenie felt sorry for Leia. She felt helpless as well.

If it were not for Jack, who wanted to send Leia back to New York like he did back then, being determined in forbidding Leia to move back here, Queenie could have convinced him.

However, Queenie could sense Jack's persistence. She could not say much. Otherwise, Leia would be sent to New York before her health had fully recovered.

"Mrs. Norman, don't worry. Ms. Norman's health is getting better day by day. She'll regain her health as long as she continues to take the medicines," comforted the maid. The way Leia yelled at her a moment ago did not seem like someone ill.

The maid would have thought that Leia was just pretending to be sick if she had not gotten the transplant surgery.

"Okay. Please inform me in the first instance if anything happens." Queenie hung up the call after that.

The maid put her phone back in her pocket and heaved a sigh.

Were they not mother and daughter? Why was there such a big difference in their temperament?

However, the maid had seen it on the news. Leia was adopted at the orphanage. She was an adopted daughter, and they did not share the same bloodline. That was why it was normal that there was such a big difference in the two's personalities and behaviors.

Leia was given such a good education by the Norman family, yet she was rotten to the core.

The maid felt helpless. She secretly let out a sigh. Some people were born evil. What changes did it make even if she grew up in such a good environment?

Did it do her any good even though she was well-educated?

She was still as evil as her father!

A trace of resentment flashed across the maid's eyes at the thought of it.

Something had happened between the maid and Leia's biological father, Dexter, back then. That was why the maid knew Leia was Dexter's biological daughter after she saw their news on the internet.

Then, she saw that Jack was recruiting a maid at the home services company.

After those people found out that he was hiring someone to look after Leia, they retreated right away. The maid working for the Norman family was from the same company. Hence, everyone there knew how hard it was to serve Leia and how bad-tempered she was.

As a result, she was the one who volunteered to apply for the job.

Even though she did not have much experience in taking care of someone, Jack hired her. The reason was simple, Jack had no other choice.

The maid massaged her foot and mumbled in a low voice, "I'll endure everything now. Then, I'll pay you back double."

"What are you mumbling about?" Leia stood at the kitchen door. The maid's voice was so soft that she could not hear what she said.

However, it sounded like she was angry and resentful.

Leia narrowed her eyes and asked, "Were you cursing me just now?"

The maid was anxious at first. After she heard what Leia said, she realized Leia did not hear what she said.

Hence, she immediately replied, "No, Ms. Norman. Is there anything I can help with?"

"Were you touching your foot just now?" Leia frowned with a disgusted look on her face.

"Uh... My foot was hurting." The maid rose to her feet and explained embarrassedly.

"How disgusting." Leia cringed. "I wonder how someone as unhygienic as you could become a maid."

The maid pursed her lips and said nothing.

Leia walked into the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and left.

The maid watched her from behind. If it were not for her and Dexter, she could have lived a better life!

How she wished Leia could experience what she had gone through in the past one day.

The maid clenched her fists. She would make sure that she put the saddle on the right horse. Even if the father and daughter were not on good terms, she wanted the two of them to pay the price!

After all, she had to try to let Leia have a taste of the pain she went through. It was engraved on her bones. Even though she lived a peaceful life now, she could never be able to forget it!

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2502-T Corporation.

Luca and the research team had a meeting for a few hours. They even had lunch in the meeting room.

The meeting lasted until four in the afternoon. That was when they finally finished arranging everything. Luca's voice was already a little hoarse.

She could not stand talking for such a long time.

Luca took a sip of the water and looked at the researchers who were discussing with each other, waiting for them to give her a final answer.

After a while, one of the researchers represented the others and said, “Dr. Craw, we believe that the plan and price are just right. We can submit the price to them when the employees are dealing with the Food and Drug Administration."

"Okay. It's settled then since there are no other problems. Other than that, I have good news for everyone." Luca paused for a moment. "Mr. Crawford is planning to open a laboratory in Watson Biopharmaceuticals for everyone. Every researcher and assistant is allowed to do experiments there. There's no limit to what kind of drugs you study. As long as you have an idea in mind, you're allowed to give it a try. If there's progress with your research, it can be listed in the research projects. Everyone can be like the professors, leading a research project."

"Is it true?" The researchers were excited to hear the news.

Their knowledge of biopharmaceuticals was not any less than the professors. The reason they became researchers was due to the universities they went to. As a result, their experience was not as good as the professors. Hence, even though they had ideas in mind, they would have to wait for the company's approval to know if they could do the research.

Everyone had research ideas of their own, but they could not carry them out due to the lack of equipment.

"Yes. I've already confirmed with Mr. Crawford. He should be announcing it in a few days. Besides, after our drug is successfully launched in the market, we'll return to the office in Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Everyone can do their own research when the time comes. Of course, we have to be focused on the company's existing research projects. We have to complete the projects assigned to us first to be able to work on our research." Luca could see how excited they were by looking into their eyes.

The lights in the laboratory of Watson Biopharmaceuticals would probably be on all night once the lab opened.

They were people who had dreams to pursue, after all.

"That's great, Dr. Craw. I've worked for a few pharmaceutical companies before, but none of them are like Watson Biopharmaceuticals. They give their employees such a good dividend policy," said one of the elder researchers.

Based on his experience, they were merely commanders who could complete the research projects their superiors had assigned them.

As for the research they wanted to do, there was no room for them to work on them.

Now that Watson Biopharmaceuticals had given them a chance to work on the research they wanted to study, it was good news to them.

What Luca said made many of them exhilarated. Luca thought about the research she was working on. She would be able to develop the antidote soon with the equipment in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.novelbin

However, would Abel give her the time and chance to do so?

Luca picked up her phone and glanced at it. She muted her phone as she was attending the meeting. Hence, she had no idea if Abel had replied to her message.

She unlocked her phone screen. There were no messages or missed calls.

She could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Abel did not reply to her. Perhaps Abel just acted on a whim yesterday.

Luca noticed the date. She should be taking her antidote soon...

It was just that Warren was the one who sent her to the office and back home every day. What could she do to stop Warren from following her?

If she asked Warren to send her to such places, it would arouse his suspicion.

Luca pondered for a moment and said to them, "That's all for today. We'll leave the application to the company."

"Okay, Dr. Craw," they replied.

Luca picked up the documents and rose to her feet. Then, she left the meeting room.

Rhett carried his documents and followed behind her. After they walked out of the meeting room, Rhett carefully asked, "Dr. Craw, has what you mentioned just now been confirmed?"

"What?" Luca was thinking about the antidote. She did not pay attention to what Rhett was saying to her.

"About the lab," replied Rhett.

"Oh, that. Since Mr. Crawford already mentioned it, he probably won't back out on it," said Luca. The matters Luke discussed with her were mostly confirmed.

She only had to wait for Luke to inform the general manager working in Watson Biopharmaceuticals to carry out the plan immediately.

"Great!" Rhett whooped with excitement. He had something he wanted to study too, but he was just an assistant. He did not have the chance to do so before this.

The laboratories out there were too expensive to rent. Besides, he had to work overtime. It was not worth it if he rented a laboratory.

"Good luck!" Luca cheered for him as she knew Rhett had something he wanted to study too.

Then, she added, “Oh, I'm going out later. But it won't look good to ask for a leave on the first day of work. Can you do me a favor? Tell Ms. Davis that I'm going out to handle some work matters. I'll come back before getting off work."

Rhett was a little surprised. Luca was not that kind of person, but she wanted him to cover up for her now. Something must have come up.

He nodded and replied, "No problem, Dr. Craw. You're going to deal with your personal matters, right? Do you need any help?"

"Thanks but it's just a small matter," said Luca as she shook her head.

Rhett nodded and no longer said anything.

Luca's matters were not something he could intervene in.

Luca left the office after she placed all the documents properly.

Rhett had informed Zoey earlier, so she watched Luca leave without reporting it to Luke.

Luca got into the elevator and headed downstairs. She knew Warren would be waiting at the parking lot, so she got out of the elevator instead of going to the parking lot.

After Luca left T Corporation's building, she hailed a taxi and headed to the stronghold of Island of Despair in A City.

Everything went smoothly when she took the antidote.

Luca finished the antidote and walked out of the building after they checked on her.

She pushed the door open. A cold gust of wind swept across her face.

Luca could not help but shiver. The location was slightly remote, and she could not hail a ride here. She had to walk toward the main road.

Luca pulled her coat tight and walked in the wind toward the street.

Luca had her head lowered a little when she bumped into someone by accident.

"I'm sorry." The moment their shoulders touched, Luca lifted her head and realized she had run into a middle-aged woman.

It was a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Luca immediately bent down and helped the woman up. She spoke Russian, "I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." The woman shook her head and replied in fluent English.

Luca realized the woman could speak the language, so she no longer spoke in Russian. "I'm sorry. I didn't notice you when I was walking. Do you need me to bring you to the hospital?"

Although the woman in front of her did not seem to be intentionally looking for trouble, Luca found it unbelievable that she actually bumped into someone and made that person fall.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2503-Although the woman in front of her was skinny, she was tall. She was a foot taller than Luca, and she did not seem like the type who one would fall easily.

The woman shook her head and replied, “No, thanks. I was in a hurry. It's not your fault."

After that, she headed straight and kept going.

She was slightly limping after she fell just now. Luca felt sorry for her and came forward to help her up. "It's my fault. Where are you going? Let me help you."

“I'm going home. It's not far away from here. Young lady, go ahead. I'll be fine." The woman did not intend to blame Luca for it. It was not a big deal.

"Since it's not far away, let me send you home. You don't want to head to the hospital for a check-up, so at least let me send you home. That way, I won't worry about you," Luca insisted.

"Okay. Thank you." The woman did not insist on walking back herself. She let Luca help her home.

Fortunately, the weather was cold but she wore enough layers to keep herself warm. Hence, it only hurt a little.

"It's nothing." Luca carefully helped the woman up. Even though she wore layers of clothes, Luca could still feel how skinny and weak the woman was.

Foreigners were tall and big-boned. That was why the woman looked taller than Luca, but she was skinny.

Luca immediately understood why the woman fell after she bumped into her.

Luca could not help but wonder at the thought of this. Foreigners usually could get a good job in A City. Many parents were willing to send their children to foreign teachers to teach them other languages.

Hence, they were able to live a comfortable life with such a job.

However, the woman in front of her... Other than her blonde hair and blue eyes, the way she dressed and her complexion were the same as the people living on this street.

She looked poor.

Luca could not help but get even more confused. She was good at judging someone's character. Even though the woman fell after being bumped into, she did not pester Luca. All she wanted was to go home. The woman's gentle aura made Luca feel like the woman in front of her was a well-educated middle-aged woman.

"We've arrived. Thank you, young lady." The woman interrupted Luca's thoughts. Luca lifted her head and glanced at the shabby house. The lower class in A City would usually stay in places like this.

Normally, it was hard to see foreigners staying on this street.

"Okay. Oh, I'll leave you my name card. Feel free to call me anytime when you need help," said Luca as she took her name card out of her pocket and handed it to her.

The woman took the name card from Luca, smiled, and replied, "Don't worry. I won't come looking for trouble."

"I shall leave." Luca gave her a polite nod, turned around, and wondered which country the woman came from.

She could speak English well, and she did not have a foreign accent.

While Luca pondered, she glanced at the time. She would not make it to the office before getting off work if she did not hail a ride soon. She quickly walked out of the alley and hailed a taxi back to T Corporation.

Luca managed to return to her office before it was time to get off work.

She pushed her office door open, only to notice that there was a basket of fruits on her coffee table.

Luca blinked her eyes. She left in a hurry just now. That was why she did not notice whether the fruits were already on the table or not.

She turned around, headed to the assistants' office, and asked Zoey, who was busy photocopying the documents, “Ms. Davis, what's with the fruit basket in my office?”

"Dr. Craw, it's the fruit basket Boss asked Mr. Doyle to get for you." Zoey smiled. Zoey already knew something was going on between Luca and their boss, so she chuckled.

"When was it sent here?" Luca asked as she became alert.

If Jason had sent the fruits to her office while she went out, then she probably could not hide the fact that she had gone out during office hours from Luke.

Now, Matysh still had his eyes on her. Luca would certainly get scolded by Luke for hiding things from him and not asking Warren to send her around.

"It was around noon. You already had lunch at that time, and it was inappropriate to deliver the fruit basket Boss got you to the meeting room. So, he left it in your office. Didn't you see it just now? The fruit basket has always been there," answered Zoey while she arranged the photocopied documents.

Luca let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was sent around noon time.

"I was in a hurry, so I didn't notice. Thanks." After Luca thanked her, she turned around and returned to her office.

Luca sat on the sofa and stared at the fruit basket. Even though it was left there for an afternoon, the temperature was low, and that was why the fruits still looked fresh.

They were all imported fruits.

Luke had prepared this fruit basket for her.

Luca glanced at the time. It was time to get off work. She tidied her stuff and carried the fruit basket along with her.

After she punched out of work, she headed to the basement parking lot. Warren was waiting beside the car for her.

“Ms. Craw, you've finished work?" Warren asked and opened the rear door of the car.

“Yes. Thank you." Luca bent down and got into the car. Then, she closed the car door. The fruit basket was placed on her thighs steadily.

Warren sat in the driver's seat. He fastened the seat belt and asked, "Would you like to go home now?"

Home...

Luca's lips curled a little. That was her home. novelbin

"Yes. Send me home please," said Luca. The adults had started working, but the schools were not open yet. The kids must miss her. Besides, Vivian would be waiting for her too. She wondered what Vivian would do to kill time.

The phone in her pocket vibrated for a moment. Luca picked it up and glanced at it. It was a message from Luke.

[Have you gotten off work?]

[Yes. I just got into the car.] Luca gently tapped on the phone screen and replied.

[Stay safe. I'll be working overtime at the office today. Don't wait for me for dinner.] Luke replied to her message soon.

[Okay.] Luca placed her phone back into her pocket after the message was successfully sent.

It seemed like they had a bond of understanding between them. When Luca knew Luke would not reply to her message, he truly would not reply.

Hence, the phone that was in her pocket no longer rang while she was on her way back.

When she arrived at the gate and Warren was about to swipe the card to enter, Luca noticed a man standing beside the car.

She quickly said, "Warren, wait!"

"Ms. Craw, what's the matter?" Warren looked at her with confusion through the rearview mirror.

Nothing had happened when they were on the way here, but Luca's tone of voice made him worried.

"I saw someone familiar. Park the car beside the road first. Don't block the entrance," said Luca.

"Okay, Ms. Craw." Warren reversed the car and parked the car at the temporary parking lot beside the street.

Luca placed the fruit basket on the empty seat beside her, pushed the door open, and prepared to get out of the car.

"Ms. Craw, be careful," reminded Warren.

"It's okay. He's someone I know. He won't hurt me." Luca smiled and bent down to get out of the car.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2504-Warren nodded. Even though Luca said so, his gaze followed her as she went.

Gordan stood at the entrance. He saw Luca getting out of the car and came closer to her. Then, he said, “It seems like Luke treats you well. He even got a driver for you."

Luca nodded and replied, "I've gotten into some trouble. That's why he got me a driver. Aren't you cold standing here?"

Gordan's gaze shifted away from her as he shot a meaningful glance at the neighborhood.

Luca waited for his reply patiently and said, "It's going to be cold when the snow melts. The weather forecast said there's going to be a cold snap tonight. You won't be able to stand the cold with the layers you have on now."

Luca noticed that Gordan was not wearing enough layers to keep himself warm. It matched his personality too.

Gordan was good-looking. He was particular about dressing himself up too. He was someone who would rather be fashionable than be comfortable.

Even though he was standing here waiting for Vivian, he was as outstanding as ever and attracted a lot of attention.

Some of the people even made a wild guess, wondering if he was one of those people getting ready to debut in the entertainment industry.

"I'm not afraid of the cold. Go home. Luke will blame me for it if you catch a cold." Gordan refused to say anything more.

Even Luke refused to help him, so he did not expect Luca to help.

Luca was close with Vivian. Hence, she would only side with Vivian. Besides, what he had done in the past few years was unforgivable to them.

"You can't meet the person you want to see even though you stand here. Mr. Norton, why are you being stubborn?" Luca had been secretly suspecting if Gordan's persistence was because of his affection for Vivian.

Although Vivian did not look appealing, she had many strengths that made her personality shine despite her ugly appearance.

No matter how much Gordan hated her, after years of living together, he should have noticed Vivian's strengths.

Her strengths were enough to make up for her imperfect appearance.

"This is a public street. I'm standing here enjoying the scenery." Even though they both knew what each other was thinking, Gordan insisted on coming up with an excuse.

Luca shook her head. What a stubborn man.

Sometimes, Luca thought the two of them should clear the air between them. However, Vivian was sure that she had made herself pretty clear in the agreement. There was no need to see each other and talk about it anymore. That was why the two of them ended up like this.

Luca said, “Yes. This is a public street, and no one will care about how long you've been standing here. Besides, you don't look like a bad guy either. Even the security guards won't drive you out. But will you be able to meet the person you've been longing for by standing at the entrance like this? Mr. Norton, there are many exits in this neighborhood.”

Then, Luca turned around and climbed into the car. She only said that to tell Gordan that he would not run into Vivian by standing there.

Furthermore, what he did would not touch Vivian either.

Vivian would only feel troubled if she found out about it.

Gordan watched Luca get into the car from behind. He could not help but feel irritated. He felt like his secret had been found out by Luca, and it seemed like it was hard to keep certain things a secret.

Gordan was startled for a moment as he watched Luca leave. However, was there anything he had to hide?

It seemed like... there was none...

Gordan took a cigarette out of his pocket. He lit the cigarette and took a puff of it. Then, he frowned in disgust.

The cigarette he used to smoke was bought in the Nordic countries of Europe. Vivian was the one who sent someone to get them for him. The smell of those cigarettes was pungent, and Gordan enjoyed them.

The cigarettes he smoked now were no longer the ones Vivian bought for him. Gordan stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash bin.

He did not enjoy the cigarette, so he might as well not smoke it.

“What cigarettes did that woman buy for me?!” Gordan said in a depressed tone. Vivian would always keep the cigarettes in a delicate cigarette case when she bought them for him. That was why Gordan had no idea which cigarettes they were.

However, he enjoyed smoking the cigarettes, and he had always stuck to the same brand.

Vivian was willing to prepare those for him. Gordan did not have to worry that he would run out of cigarettes.

When he finished all the cigarettes in the cigarette case, he would always see a few new cigarette cases in his drawer when he opened it.

Luca returned to the villa.

The three kids immediately came forward and surrounded her, talking excitedly.

Most of them were about how much they had missed her.

Luca felt glad that the kids loved clinging to her, but she felt sorry for them at the same time.

After Luca spent some time with the kids, she realized she could not see Vivian anywhere in the house. Hence, she asked, "Where's Ms. Vivian?"

“Ms. Vivian is in the kitchen. She said she'd like to learn how to cook from Aunt Neile," answered Rainie.

Luca smiled. After she put down her briefcase, she let the kids watch a television show while she headed to the kitchen. Vivian was helping Aunt Neile out.

“Vivian, you don't have to do this," said Luca. Vivian was Ray's elder sister, and she was Luke's honorable guest. How could she let the guest cook?

“Come on. The semester hasn't started yet. I was bored after finishing my online course, so I came here to learn some cooking skills with Aunt Neile. Aunt Neile, I'm quite talented in cooking, right?" Vivian spoke in ineloquent English.

“Yes. Ms. Vivian is a fast learner. It's just that the recipe might not taste as good as Ms. Craw's," replied Aunt Neile with a smile.

Luca was puzzled, then she asked, “How do the two of you communicate with each other?"

Vivian could not speak fluent English, and she had difficulty pronouncing some words. She could only speak Russian and some English to express herself.

However, Aunt Neile did not know how to speak any foreign languages.

"The same language every human share is gestures and signs," said Vivian. "Besides, don't we have Tommy here? He's good at it. He can be our translator!"

Luca smiled. She forgot Tommy could communicate with others in Russian.

“Hang on, let me get changed and help too," said Luca. Although she usually helped to prepare dinner, sometimes, she would let Aunt Neile prepare it if she was feeling tired.

Her guest was already helping out in the kitchen. It would be inappropriate if she did not come to help.

"Luca, it's okay. Leave it to me and Aunt Neile!" Vivian immediately replied. She could not wait to spend 24 hours doing something else other than bedtime.

That way, she would not think of Gordan.

"Mr. Crawford will blame me for being unsophisticated and for letting the guest help out in the kitchen while I sit here and relax." Luca smiled jokingly. She walked out of the kitchen, headed to the second floor, and got changed.

Luca glanced at her phone and hurried downstairs.

Luca walked into the kitchen and saw Vivian busy in the kitchen. She hesitated for a moment and wondered if she should tell Vivian that Gordan was waiting for her at the entrance.

However, Luca eventually thought that it would be better not to tell her. Hence, she put the thought behind her and decided not to tell her.

Gordan had to clean up his own mess. Let him face the consequences of what he had done.

After all, Gordan had let Vivian down for the past few years. He should have a taste of his own medicine.

No one could help him.

It was up to them to decide what lay in the future ahead.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2505-"I'm here to help." Luca smiled and walked into the kitchen. She picked up the apron and put it on.

Aunt Neile smiled and replied, "Luckily, the kitchen is spacious enough. Otherwise, there's no space for the two of you to stand in here and help."

"Aunt Neile, what should I do?" Luca asked.

"I prepared soup today, but I haven't added the seasonings into it. Why don't you handle the seasoning?" said Aunt Neile. Vivian was here, so she prepared a few more dishes.

"Okay." Luca opened the lid of the pot and realized Aunt Neile had prepared butternut squash soup. It was good for health, especially for people like Luke, who always worked overtime and was busy with work.

Luca said, "Aunt Neile, save some in the pot to keep it warm. Mr. Crawford can have some when he's back."

Aunt Neile immediately asked, "Mr. Crawford isn't coming back for dinner tonight?"

"Didn't he tell you? He's working overtime." Luca was a little surprised. Luke would inform Aunt Neile that he was not going home for dinner back then to prevent the wastage of food.

Aunt Neile was a little surprised too, but she immediately understood. She smiled and said, "He didn't, but Mr. Crawford informed you. So, I guess that's considered telling someone."

Luca's face slightly reddened when Aunt Neile teased her. After she seasoned the soup, she said, "Aunt Neile, are there any dishes you haven't cooked? Let me do it."

"Young Master Tommy said he'd like to have spaghetti bolognese today. I was about to prepare it. Ms. Craw, why don't you prepare it? They love your homemade food." Aunt Neile decided to let Luca take

over the chef's position, while she would help her out with Vivian.

After all, Luca's cooking skills were truly good. Both adults and children loved her homemade food.

Luca took the spatula from Aunt Neile without a second thought and prepared spaghetti bolognese for the kids.

Half an hour later, all the dishes were ready.

Aunt Neile saved some for Luke, while the rest were served on the dining table.

They started having their dinner.

The three kids quickly finished the spaghetti bolognese made by Luca, and they ate some of the other dishes too.

It was time for the kids to watch their cartoon show after dinner.

Luca picked up her phone and glanced at the temperature outside, then she said to Aunt Neile, “Aunt Neile, stop cleaning up. Go home now. There'll be a cold snap tonight. You should go home earlier."

Aunt Neile looked at the dining table awkwardly and said, "Ms. Craw, it'd be better for me to clean up the dining table before I leave."

"Aunt Neile, leave it to me. It's getting late, and it'll grow colder. It might rain too. You can't tell if it's going to snow and rain at the same time." Luca took the tablecloth from Aunt Neile and urged her to go home.

Vivian managed to figure out what they were talking about, and she asked with confusion, "The temperature's dropping tonight?"

"Yes. Extreme and sudden temperature drops often happen this month. Ms. Craw, I'll leave it to you, then." Aunt Neile took off her apron.

She refused to suffer the horrendous weather condition as well.

Vivian shot a thoughtful glance outside the window and asked, "But it was warm this morning. Luca, did the weather forecast make a mistake?"

"I don't think so. The cold snap often happens out of the blue. Is the heating in your room warm enough? Let me give you another blanket if you're afraid of the cold." Luca noticed Vivian was looking outside the window. Vivian probably knew Gordan was waiting outside the entrance...

It was late. Gordan should have left.

He would not be that silly, standing there waiting for Vivian.

Gordan did not look like the kind of person who would be willing to lose out on anything.

Vivian fell silent, and she was lost in thoughts.

Luca called out for her again, "Vivian?"

"Huh?" Vivian came back to her senses. She was thinking about Gordan just now. Was he still standing out there?

Vivian knew Gordan was standing outside. It was Aunt Neile who told her about it.

Gordan had pressed the doorbell and wanted to come in, but Luke had already informed Aunt Neile about it. That was why he could not come in.

An hour passed after that, and the security guard came looking for Aunt Neile. he told her that the visitor had been standing at the entrance all day. Although he did not do anything strange or affect the

image of the neighborhood, it was weird to see him standing there.

Aunt Neile told the guard that since Gordan did not do anything, they should just let him stand there.

They thought Vivian could not understand what it meant, but she actually understood what they were talking about.

Luca said patiently, "There's going to be a cold snap tonight. Let me grab you another blanket if the heating in your room isn't warm enough."

Vivian shook her head and replied, "No, thank you. It's warm enough for me. Don't forget that I'm a Russian. I grew up in such an environment. I'm not afraid of the cold!"

"Yeah. You're one of the toughest people on Earth.." Luca replied with a smile.

Vivian set her worries aside, came forward, and said, "Let me help you to clean this up."

"It's okay. Take a rest. Leave it to me." Luca was embarrassed to let the guest do the cleaning.

"I've been resting all day! Let me help!" Vivian did not give Luca the chance to reject her. She immediately picked up the plates Luca had piled up, marched into the kitchen, and placed them in the dishwasher.

Luca had no choice but to let Vivian help with it since she was willing to help.

T Corporation.

Luke and Jason sat opposite each other handling the pile of documents on the table. There was a sudden knock on the door.

“Come in.” Luke did not lift his head. Everyone on the same floor was working overtime. Hence, it was normal for people to come in to deliver the documents.

Tina pushed the door open and walked into the office. She placed two documents on Luke's desk and said, “Boss, here are two urgent documents.”

"Okay." Luke did not look up. Most of the documents on his table were urgent. No matter how late he had to work tonight, he had to finish handling all the documents.

After all, he had given himself a break during the New Year. Hence, he had been slacking off, putting those documents aside.

As time passed, those documents became urgent documents that needed to be handled immediately.

Tina could see how busy Luke and Jason were. She pondered for a moment and said, "Boss, the security guard gave me a call just now. He claimed that Mr. Norton would like to see you. Would you like to meet him?"

Something probably came up if Gordan had come to look for Luke at this hour. Tina dared not to stop him.

"Mr. Norton? He's here?" Luke knew who it was without having to ask for his name.

He only knew one person with the family name Norton.

"Yes..." Tina let out a sigh of relief. It seemed like reporting to Luke was the right thing to do.

"Let him in," said Luke. Luke was not Vivian. There was no need to make Gordan stand outside the T Corporation's entrance.

Although Luke was not planning to help Gordan with Vivian's matter, they were still good friends. The two of them would not get into a fight which would affect their relationship even though he refused to lend him a hand.

"Okay, Boss." Tina left the office and delivered Luke's message to the security guard.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2506-Gordan got into T Corporation smoothly.

It was not his first time coming here. Besides, there were no changes to T Corporation's building structure. Gordan confirmed with the security guard the floor where Luke's office was. Then, he got into the elevator and came to Luke's office.

Tina stood at the elevator to receive him. The elevator door slowly opened. She took a deep breath and said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Norton. Boss is already waiting for you in his office. This way, please."

“I know where his office is. You may go back to work." The look on Gordan's face was gloomy. He went straight ahead.

Tina secretly mumbled to herself. Was he really Boss' friend? Why did he look like he came to seek revenge?

Gordan marched forward with his long legs and arrived at Luke's office. He looked up and glanced at the signage, confirming that it was the CEO's office. He did not knock on the door but walked right into his office instead. novelbin

"Let's go for a drink," Gordan said straightforwardly. The moment he pushed the door open, he realized Jason was there too. He frowned and said, "Why don't you join us too?"

Jason turned around and shot a glance at him. He stood up and greeted, "Good evening, Mr. Norton."

"Knock it off. It's not like we don't know each other." Gordan's gaze swept across the documents on the table. He pulled a chair and sat down, "Why are you still working at this hour? Let's go out for a drink."

"No, thanks." Luke continued to turn the pages of another document after he signed his name on the last page of the previous document.

Gordan raised his brows and said, "Come on. I'm counting on you!"

"I'm busy," Luke replied in simple and short words, but Gordan was dissatisfied with it.

"You can never finish your work. You only live once. I want to get some drinks tonight. Tell me, are you going with me or not?"

"If you're bored, I can arrange a job for you in T Corporation so that you can get busy." Luke finally looked at him.

Gordan was a little disappointed with the attitude Luke gave him. "Luke, we've been friends for years. It's fine if you refuse to lend me a hand, but you don't even care to spend some time drinking with me now. And you call yourself a friend?"

Luke raised his brows and questioned, "We've been friends for so many years. I'm busy with my work. Would you like to help?"

“No way. I just jumped out of the frying pan. I'm definitely not going into the fire again. Don't try to trap me in this again." Gordan shook his head. Being carefree suited him more.

Into the fire?

It did not matter if he described T Corporation as a living hell, but he even said living together with Vivian was a torture. Luke questioned him, "Since you described it that way, why do you want to drown yourself in your sorrows when you've just gotten out of trouble?"

"I..." Gordan hesitated. His mouth was open, and the words were on the tip of his tongue. A few seconds later, he said embarrassingly, "I'm just happy, you know? People would want to have a drink when they're happy. And they'll look for their friends to have a drink with!"

Jason could not help but let out a laugh.

The way Gordan stubbornly refused to admit his thoughts was amusing.

No one would have believed the glorious deeds he had done in the past.

"You have to move on after getting out of trouble. Why did you stand outside the entrance of my neighborhood for the whole day?" Luke exposed him straight from the shoulder.

Gordan was stunned for a moment. How did he know about that?

Luke said, "The security guard and property management told me that you're becoming a scenic statue in the neighborhood if you continue to stand there all day."

"Can they mind their own business?!" Gordan felt irritated. He did not expect Luke to find out that he had spent the whole day waiting without getting any results.

He felt embarrassed.

"Then were you the one who informed the property management not to let me in?" Something suddenly came across Gordan's mind.

"I told them to stop any strangers who came to visit and inform me. You know Luca's situation now," said Luke. He turned the pages of another document.

Talking to Gordan did not affect his work at all.

Gordan knew what situation Luca was in. After all, he was also investigating what Matysh had done in the past.

"I'm your friend. You can stop anyone else but not me!" Gordan gritted his teeth. He thought it was Vivian's idea.

He certainly did not expect that it was Luke's idea after standing there all day.

If he had known about it earlier, he would have come here to look for him instead!

"Why do you want to go in?" The sound of an email notification came from the computer. Luke looked up at the screen and stopped looking at Gordan.

"..." Gordan fell silent. He did not know how to answer the rhetorical question.

Did he have to say that he went looking for Vivian?

Luke knew the answer, but Gordan was too ashamed to admit it.

"Since you think it was nothing but trouble and it has ended, there's no need for you to go back to it," said Luke.

Gordan experienced a deep sense of defeat as he replied, "I want to sort things out with her."

"She thinks there's no need to do so," Luke replied to the email he received. After he edited the simple and short sentences, he pressed the send button.

Gordan furrowed his brows and said, "It was her and her brother who forced us to get married. It's the same with the divorce now too. Is she the only one who can make decisions about our marriage? She got a divorce when she wanted to. Do I not have the right to decide?

Jason sat beside him, listening to Gordan. He cleared his throat.

Gordan's gaze fell on him as he asked, “Do you disagree?”

“Mr. Norton, it's just my itchy throat,” said Jason. He picked up the cup beside him and took a swig of coffee. He continued to work on the documents after pulling himself together.

Gordan crossed his legs and said, “You know how miserable my life was in the past few years. That's why I want to sort things out with her. But she doesn't even give me the chance to do so. I don't believe that she's going to hide in your house forever."

Luke continued looking at the documents and said, “She has decided to move on. You should get over it too."

“I..." Gordan paused for a moment, realizing what his words meant. He immediately replied, “This has nothing to do with moving on. I was never serious about this relationship. Who is she to make me do this?"

After he said that, no one bothered to answer him.

There was only the sound of the pages turning in the big office. “Say something. Can't you talk to me if you can't drink with me?"

Luke kept silent. Jason did not say anything either.

After all, Jason was still being pestered by his ex-wife, and it was inappropriate for him to comment on someone else's relationship.

“Hey, hey, hey!" Gordan tapped on the desktop.

A hint of piercing cold flashed across Luke's eyes, and he shot him a glance to warn Gordan.

Gordan was not afraid of him, and he continued, “Luke, please help me. I need to see her and talk to her. 30 minutes is all I need."

"She doesn't want to see you, even if it's only for one minute," Luke told him the truth in a cold voice.

Gordan felt as though someone had stuffed a few bricks into his heart. His heart sank after he heard that. Then, he said, “Hey, we're friends who went through fire and water. You can do anything to help Ray to protect that woman, but you can't help me. Is that really the right thing to do?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2507-“I have to do as Vivian wishes," replied Luke. Although Luke being kidnapped to the Island of Despair was indirectly related to Vivian, he had never blamed her for it.

Vivian was visually unappealing, but she had a kind heart, and she deserved to be treated better.

However, Gordan did not know how to appreciate her inner beauty. That was why it was good for the two of them to separate.

Since they had separated, they should not see each other anymore.

"If I didn't know how much you loved Sis, I'd have suspected that ugly woman cast a spell on you and made you fall for her," Gordan mumbled in a depressed tone. He could not understand why everyone was siding with Vivian.

Luke and Luca were on her side.

He was the true victim, okay?! Not only had he wasted a couple of years, but he also had to be humiliated when he got divorced.

Luke gave Gordan a death stare.

He should not have said such nonsense.

Although Luca would not misunderstand him, they were at the office now. Those who had bad intentions might start a rumor about it in the office if they heard it.

Gordan retracted his neck and said, "I didn't mean to say that. Besides, there's no one here. Jason won't tell others about it either. Don't worry, Sis won't hear those rumors and misunderstand you."

"You should zip your mouth," Luke warned him in a cold voice.

Gordan would get into trouble sooner or later with that mouth of his.

Gordan could feel the temperature in the air abruptly drop. He secretly mumbled that it must be because he was sitting beside Luke. He turned to look at Jason and asked, "Jason, don't you feel cold working here?"

Jason understood what Gordan meant, but it was not him who made Luke unhappy. Hence, he might as well pretend not to know about it. "Mr. Norton, do you mean the temperature in the office isn't warm enough? Do you need me to raise the temperature for you?"

"Luke, if you don't make arrangements for me, I'll come to your office and sit here every day," said Gordan.

Luke was fine with it, and he said unconcernedly, "Sure. I happen to need a bodyguard. Although you're not as good as Gale, it'll be enough."

“You..." Gordan paused for a moment. He was afraid that he would get kicked out by Luke if he swore at him. Therefore, he corrected himself embarrassedly, “I'm a guest, your guest."

Luke ignored him and continued to work on the documents.

Two hours later.

Everyone in the T Corporation who was working overtime had gotten off work. Luke and Jason had almost finished handling all the documents as well.

“Boss, I'm leaving first." Jason closed the last file and said to Luke.

“Okay. You can arrive an hour late tomorrow." Luke gave Jason more time to rest.

“Thank you, Boss." Jason nodded.

Luke looked up at the sofa. Gordan, who was sitting there a moment ago, was already feeling sleepy. He leaned on the sofa and yawned.

Luke walked toward Gordan and kicked the leg off the sofa, saying, "Wake up."

Gordan woke up in a daze. He picked up the phone, glanced at the time, and mumbled, “It's already this late."

“Wake up. I'm going back." Luke looked at Gordan, who slept like a log. Did he really think this was a hotel?

How could Gordan sleep like that? He did not feel embarrassed at all.

“I don't feel like moving, Luke. Your sofa is comfortable. Let me spend the night here." Gordan turned over.

Luke frowned when Gordan seemed like he wanted to stay here. “I'm a neat freak. Besides, this is not a refugee shelter. Which hotel are you staying in? I'll send you back."

Luke did not want to see Gordan lying here when he came back to work tomorrow.

It was difficult for Luke to accept a man who did not take a shower lying here in his office.

Gordan sat up on the sofa. He initially thought of spending the night here, but he was worried that he might cross Luke's line.

After all, everyone knew that Luke was a neat freak.

Gordan rose to his feet, shook his head, and said, "I'm staying in the hotel nearby. You don't have to send me back. I drove here."

After that, he left the office.

Luke carried the briefcase with him and left together.

The two of them walked into the elevator. Luke asked, “Are you sure you're not going to work?"

Gordan mocked himself and said, “I've divorced. My net worth has skyrocketed. Why should I work? Do you have any idea how much the value of that villa is? It cost a hundred of millions. How much work do I have to do to get so much money? How should I put this? I'm a billionaire now. Are you envious of me?"

Luke remained silent while listening to him speaking in a slovenly manner.

Then, Gordan said in a distressed voice, “But that's not what I asked for, and no one believes it."

Gordan had been looking for Vivian to talk to her about the villa that was worth over a hundred million.

The elevator came to the first floor. Luke said in a cold voice, "Many people would like to buy that villa of yours. If you really don't want it, you can donate the money to charity after selling it. You can donate it in your or her name. There's always a way to get rid of that villa. Gordan, you'd better think carefully. Are you doing all this because you don't want the villa, or is it because you don't want your relationship to end that easily?”

Gordan was startled for a moment. His face turned red as he immediately denied it. “No, that's not true. Luke, don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with her now!”

"Really?" Luke's voice was still cold. The elevator door slowly opened when the elevator arrived on the first floor. Then, he said, "You parked your car at the outdoor parking lot, right? We've arrived on the first floor."

“Yeah. See you tomorrow." Gordan left the elevator in a hurry. It was as though he had been exposed, so he was in a hurry to escape.

Luke watched him leave from behind and pressed the elevator button. After he arrived at the basement parking lot, he drove back to the villa.

It was already two in the morning when he arrived at the villa.

There was dead silence in the villa. Luca and the kids must be asleep...

Luke walked into the foyer. There was a lamp lit up for him.

The corner of his thin lips curled up. There was a faint smile on his face.

Luke took off his coat and his scarf and hung them on the hanging stand. He noticed the note on top of the shoe shelf in the foyer that Luca left for him.

He picked it up and saw Luca's beautiful handwriting on it: [There's warm butternut squash soup in the kitchen. Remember to drink it.]

Luca even left some soup for him.

Luke's smile widened. He put his briefcase on the sofa and walked into the kitchen. He found the bowl of soup Luca left for him. She had been keeping it warm, and it really was warm.

After Luke finished the soup, he carried the briefcase upstairs.

When Luke came to the second floor and saw a lit lamp, he frowned.

Vivian was sitting on the sofa.

He walked toward her and asked, "Vivian, why aren't you asleep?"

"Mr. Crawford, you're back.." Vivian stood up and explained, "I'm having jet lag. I can't sleep."

"You've arrived at A City for some time now. You haven't gotten rid of it?" Luke refused to believe her.

"..." There was a gleam in Vivian's eyes. She did not know how to lie to others, especially Luke and Ray.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2508-"Your semester is going to start soon. You have to cure your jet lag as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to focus when you're in class." Luke knew what was bothering her, but he did not expose her. He reminded her and sounded like her big brother.

Vivian nodded. Her worries eventually took over her hesitation. She could not help but ask, “Mr. Crawford, did you see anyone at the entrance when you came back here?”

She did not mention Gordan's name, but she knew Luke would know who she was asking about even if she did not say his name.

"No one is at the entrance at this hour. It's late. Rest early." Luke knew Vivian wanted to ask about Gordan.

After all, he had been standing at the entrance all day like a security guard.

"Okay." Vivian let out a sigh of relief when she heard no one was at the entrance.

She had walked out to the balcony a moment ago. A gust of cold wind swept across her face. It was much colder than it was in the morning.

Gordan was only concerned about his demeanor. He would not care about the temperature. Vivian was sure that he did not put on enough layers to keep himself warm.

Vivian was relieved to know that he was not at the entrance. However, a sour and bitter feeling aroused within her. What was she anticipating?

Was she hoping that Gordan would constantly wait at the entrance just to see her?

However, he was not in love with her. Why would he do such a thing?

Vivian was sure she had been overthinking.

Vivian pulled herself together and put the disappointing feelings at the back of her mind. She stood up and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm going back to my bedroom. Rest early, and goodnight."

"Goodnight." Luke waited for Vivian to return to her bedroom, and only then did he go back to his room.

Luke did not head to Luca's bedroom right away. He did not want to wake her up. After he took a shower, he pushed Luca's bedroom door open and walked into it.

The lights were turned off. There was not even a streak of light in the room.

Although it was dark, Luke walked toward the bed skillfully without knocking on anything.

When he was about to sit down on the bed, Luca, who was on the bed, woke up with a start. The moment she sat up on the bed, she turned on the lights and said, "Who is it?!"

Luke caught a glimpse of alertness in her eyes, and he said helplessly, "It's me."

Luca's fear slowly went away. She had a dream about Abel just now, then she heard the noises in the bedroom. She was unable to differentiate if the noises were from her dream or reality. That was why she was so alert.

She set her worries aside when she realized it was Luke. "Mr. Crawford, you're back."

There was a hint of drowsiness in her words. Luke felt guilty for waking her up.

He should have slept in the other bedroom since he came home late. That way, he would not have woken Luca up, but he felt insecure sleeping alone.

He wanted to cuddle with Luca in bed. That was why he came over.

"I'm sorry to have woken you up." Luke sat on the bed and put his arm around her waist. He said, "Go back to sleep. It's still early."

"Okay." Luca did not tell him about the nightmare she had. Even though she was in a safe environment, she could not sleep peacefully without Luke by her side.

The anxiety in her heart was uncontrollable. She had this feeling that no matter how safe she was, Abel would always have a way to take her away.

She was reluctant to leave...

The two of them lay down on the bed. Luca rested her head on Luke's chest peacefully and fell deeply asleep.

She felt secure having him by her side.

When Luca opened her eyes again, it was already in the morning.

Luca could feel the warmth behind her. Luke was still asleep.

He came back late last night. It was normal for him to wake up late. Luca gently pushed his hand away to get out of bed. A mumbling voice came from behind her, "Don't get up. Accompany me for a while more."

"I have to get up to prepare breakfast for you," Luca's cheeks blushed as she said in a soft voice.

Luke did not say anything. It was as though he was choosing between breakfast and Luca's company. Both sounded tempting to him.

Luca was not in a hurry to get out of bed. She waited for his answer. "I'd like to have coffee. I want to bring it to the office."

Luca understood what he meant with just those few words.

Luke wanted her to prepare some coffee for him. It was not just a cup of coffee. He wanted it to be filled in a thermos bottle so that he could bring it to the office.

Luke must have tons of work to do. Otherwise, he would not need a bottle of coffee to give himself a lift.

"Okay." Luca agreed.

Luke slowly let go of her. It was obvious that he was reluctant to do so.

Luca got out of bed. After she freshened herself up, she came to the kitchen. Aunt Neile was already preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile greeted her with a smile.

“Good morning, Aunt Neile." After Luca greeted her, she took the sealed coffee beans out of the cabinet.

'Are you making coffee for Mr. Crawford?" Aunt Neile asked.

"Yes. Mr. Crawford said he'd like to bring it to the office. Besides, there's Vivian too. Russians like having a cup of coffee and hot chocolate in the morning. I'm going to prepare more." Luca washed her hands and dried her hands with tissue. Then, she started to prepare coffee for Luke.

"Mr. Crawford loves the coffee you make. I've never seen him bringing anyone's coffee to work after so many years," exclaimed Aunt Neile. After all, many people in T Corporation knew how to prepare coffee, but it seemed like Luke was only fond of the coffee Luca made.

Luca smiled and said nothing.

She knew everything that Aunt Neile told her.

Luke loved drinking her homemade coffee back then, but Luca was worried that he would take too much caffeine every day. Hence, she would limit Luke from drinking too much coffee.

Therefore, Luke would always drink coffee only in the morning.

Luca asked while she made the coffee, "By the way, did Mr. Crawford drink his soup last night?"

"Yes. The bowl was left in the sink this morning," replied Aunt Neile.

Luca nodded. It seemed like Luke had seen the note she left for him.

She could have sent him a text to remind him, but she thought it would be better not to disturb him if he was busy with work at the office. That was why she left a note in the foyer.

Luke would change his shoes when he came back. He would see the note when he changed into slippers.

After Luca made the coffee, she began to prepare breakfast.

Today's breakfast was more simple. Aunt Neile had prepared a lot, so she only had to prepare some side dishes. Breakfast was ready.

"Ms. Craw, is there anything you need to prepare?" Aunt Neile cleaned the bowl and asked.

"That's all. Oh, Mr. Crawford might wake up late today. If you're going to do some cleaning, don't go upstairs so that you won't wake him up. As for the kids, let them stay on the first floor after they wake up. Don't let them wake Mr. Crawford up." Luca felt sorry for Luke. He did not have much time to rest, and he was always working.

Hence, it was rare to see him sleeping in. Luca did not want him to be disturbed.

"Okay, Ms. Craw. That's very thoughtful of you." Aunt Neile agreed with her and smiled.

Luca quickly ate her breakfast. After she told Aunt Neile about the coffee in the thermos bottle, she got into Warren's car and headed to T Corporation.

After she returned to the office, she ran into Rhett and Zoey. Luca knew they were going to Watson Biopharmaceuticals to get the paperwork for the product launch ready. Thus, she nodded and greeted them, "Good morning. Thanks for getting this done."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2509-"It's our job, Dr. Craw. We're heading to Watson Biopharmaceuticals first," said Zoey. She was carrying a thick file. It contained all the information for the application of the drug launch.

"Sure. Off you go." Luca nodded.

After Luca watched Zoey and Rhett leave from behind, she withdrew her gaze, looked down, and pondered for a moment.

The phone in her pocket vibrated for a moment. Luca picked it up and glanced at her phone. She saw the number on the screen was not a string of numbers but Tina's phone number. She let out a sigh of relief.

"Tina, what's the matter?" Luca answered the call.

"Dr. Craw, Boss, and Mr. Doyle haven't come to the office yet. I can only look for you." Tina did not go straight to the point. She expressed how helpless she was at first.

Luca replied embarrassedly, "Mr. Crawford worked overtime last night. He should be at home now. You can call him if it's about work."

There was no way Luca could handle T Corporation's matters. She was in no position to handle them either.

Tina immediately said, "It's not about work. The man who came looking for Boss last night when he was working overtime came here again. Boss isn't in the office now. I don't dare to let others in easily."

"A man came when he was working overtime last night?" Luca was surprised. She thought it would not have been T Corporation's partner. Otherwise, Tina would not be at such a loss. Luca asked, "May I know the man's family name?"

"Mr. Norton. He was in the CEO's office last night. He's here again today," Tina said helplessly. She even served him a beverage before she got off work yesterday.

That was why she knew Gordan was there until late at night. He was still in the office when she got off work.

"Gordan Norton..." It finally dawned on Luca. Was Gordon in Luke's office for a long time last night?

However, Luca had already fallen asleep when Luke came back home. Thus, he did not mention it to her.

"Yes. That's his name. The guard said he's already downstairs. Dr. Craw, what should I do now?" Tina knew Boss and Mr. Doyle would come late to the office because they worked until late at night yesterday.

Tina did not want to disturb Boss and Mr. Doyle because of this man. It would make her look unprofessional.

However, she had no idea how she should deal with Gordan.

Generally speaking, her boss' friend came to visit him, but he was not there. The visitor should leave, but Gordan was different from the others. The guard told him that Luke was not in the office yet, but Gordan still insisted on going upstairs.

Of course, the guard had to stop him.

However, it troubled Tina to use such a method. She should not be offending Luke's friends, but Luke was not here. She could not let him in without permission either. She thought about it over and over again, and she had no choice but to ask Luca.

"Ask him to come to my office." Luca pondered for a moment and came up with such a solution.

If they did not let Gordan in, he might stand at T Corporation's entrance as though he was a statue like what he did yesterday.

Besides, Luke owed Gordan a favor. Although Vivian refused to see him, it was fine if he was in T Corporation. Vivian was not here, after all.

"Okay, Dr. Craw." Tina let out a sigh of relief. After she hung up the call, she quickly headed downstairs to receive Gordan.

Gordan raised his brows and asked when he saw Tina, "Has your boss arrived?"

Tina replied helplessly, "Mr. Norton, Boss isn't here yet. Let me take you to Dr. Craw's office first."

"He's not here yet?" Gordan waited for Tina to swipe her employee card and followed her into the building. He initially thought that Luke was avoiding him on purpose. That was why he asked the guard to stop him from coming in.

"Yes. Boss got off work late last night. He's probably still at home or on his way here," replied Tina as she pressed the elevator button.

"Yeah. He went home late last night, but I've already woken up. You're telling me he hasn't come to the office yet? He's slacking off," Gordan commented.

Tina smiled helplessly. She dared not to go along with what he said.

After all, many other bosses arrived at the office later than Luke did. It was rare to see Luke come to the office late, and she had been working at T Corporation for such a long time.

Tina led Gordan the way to Luca's office and said, "Mr. Norton, this is Dr. Craw's office. Please sit here for a while. I'll inform Boss that you came when he comes to work."

"Sure," replied Gordan.

Tina knocked on Luca's office door and said, "Dr. Craw, Mr. Norton is here."

"Come in." Luca's voice came from inside the office.

Tina pushed the door open and turned to look at Gordan, "Mr. Norton, please head in."

"Thank you." Gordon walked into the office slovenly and saw Luca sitting behind her office desk. He smiled and said, "Sis, why are you in the office when Luke isn't here yet?"

The look on Luca's face changed when Gordan called her 'Sis'.

He glanced at the door behind him. Tina had already closed the door.

"Mr. Norton, you can just call my name," said Luca. She was not Bianca now. It was inappropriate to address her as Sis.

"Aren't you together with him?" Gordon deliberately said that. He knew Luca's true identity was Bianca, and he knew the reason behind the situation now too. He was displeased when Vivian refused to see him. Besides, Luke and Luca refused to help him as well. That was why he intentionally mocked her.

Luca could sense Gordan was unhappy, so she asked, "Mr. Norton, what would you like to drink?"

Gordon waved his hand and thought that he should not be blaming others for Vivian's and his matter. Hence, he said, "No, thanks. What time is he coming to the office?"

"He was still in bed when I came to work," Luca told him she had no idea.

It was normal for Luke to sleep in when he got off work so late.

"Why don't you call and ask him? Sitting here and waiting for him isn't the solution," said Gordan as he sat on the sofa. Then, he patted the sofa and said, "Luke isn't thoughtful enough. The sofa in your office isn't as good as the one in his office."

Luca felt awkward. The way Gordan vented his emotions looked like a vexatious kid. novelbin

However, not everyone had to spoil the kid.

"Mr. Norton, you can call Mr. Crawford as well since you have something to discuss with him," said Luca. She was telling him that she would not make the call for him.

Gordon frowned. She was indeed Luke's woman, tough and strong. He replied, "He's not answering my calls, but if you call him, he'll certainly answer. Just make the call for me. It's better than me being here disturbing your work."

Luca said unconcernedly, "You won't be disturbing me even if you're here. Mr. Norton, I'm going to the lab to do some experiments. Take your time. If you'd like to drink something, the office assistants have already headed to the branch office for work, so you'll have to get it yourself. After you get out of the office, turn left and then turn right. That's where the office pantry is."

After that, Luca picked up a pile of documents and stood up.

"Are you going to leave me hanging here?" Gordan was startled.

Luca smiled and replied, "We've got the radiator here. It's better than leaving you out there."

Luca and Luke were a couple, indeed. They could say sarcastic things to him with a straight face. There was no way he could refute it.

“Don't worry. I know this place. Don't mind me. I'll leave you to work." Gordan had no choice but to pretend as though her words did not emotionally set him off. He turned around and slouched on the sofa.

Luca stopped, turned around, and glanced at Gordan who had fused with the sofa. She said, "Mr. Norton, are you planning to wait in T Corporation all day?"

"I've already informed your boss. I'm going to stay here all day before the matter is settled," Gordon replied with a smile. He thought Luca was panicking.

After all, Luca's true identity was Bianca. Bianca had always loved protecting Luke.

Although Luke did not need her protection, she took it seriously when it was about protecting him.

Luca slowly nodded and replied, "Sounds great. Mr. Crawford happens to need a bodyguard anyway."

"You..." Gordon was triggered by her words, but Luca did not give him the chance to refute them. She quickly walked out of the office.

Gordon's expression turned gloomy. He was gloating as he initially thought he had the upper hand. Now, he felt upset all of a sudden.

A sentence suddenly came into his mind. Birds of a feather flocked together.

Luke was a scheming person. How could he have a naive wife who was ignorant of world affairs?

The husband and wife were bullies!

Luca carried the documents to the laboratory. A few researchers were talking in the laboratory as if they had nothing to do.

Luca had just entered the laboratory and she heard them talking about the research they would like to study. It seemed like they were preparing for the new lab that was about to be introduced in a couple of days.

"Dr. Craw." The researchers saw Luca walk in and greeted her.

"Hi everyone." Luca sat down with the documents in her hands.

A researcher felt strange seeing her sitting there, so he asked, "Dr. Craw, is there something wrong with the drug?"

"There's no problem. We've done everything we can. Next, we'll wait for the company to deal with the Food and Drug Administration," said Luca. She glanced at the office desk which was clean and tidy. She felt a little bored all of a sudden.

Luca initially thought of bringing the antidote's research data to the office to analyze when she set off today.

However, she gave up the thought when she recalled that she had left the documents in the bedroom. Luke was still sleeping in the bedroom, and he was a light sleeper. Any noise could wake him up. She refused to disturb him.

“Then why are you..." The researcher hesitated as he thought Luca was acting weird.

It was strange for her to stay here when she had an office of her own.novelbin

"Oh, my office is being occupied by someone. That's why I came here to read the data. I heard your conversation when I entered just now. All of you were talking about the research you're going to study, right?" Luca made conversation with them. This was her first time talking about something other than the research project with them.

After she came back, Luca decided that there was no need for her to socialize with the others. That was why she was always only talking about work with them.

She would not participate in anything other than work, including group activities.

However, Luca did her part too. She would give Rhett some money for the expenses of the group activities.

Therefore, even though she was a loner, the researchers did not mind it.

"Yes, but we were just discussing it. After all, it's hard to tell if it's feasible," said one of the researchers.

"Yeah. It has always been the professors who guided us to do the research. We actually have no idea how we should get started when we're suddenly allowed to work on our own research. We won't know if it's going to work either." Another researcher went along with him.

"Why don't you tell me your opinions? And what do you think about the feasibility of the research? After all, a lot of information is gathered within or outside the country. We can't read them all. So, we might get some inspiration if we discuss it here," suggested Luca. Since she had nothing to do, she might as well talk about academics with them.

Luca's suggestion gained their support.

A few of them started to discuss several topics in the laboratory.

Luca shared some of the medical knowledge she learned on the Island of Despair with them to help them to solve their problems.

That was how a brainstorming session started.

Meanwhile, Gordan, who was in Luca's office, got bored. He crossed his legs and scrolled his phone for a while. Then, he stood up and walked out of the office.

Gordan initially thought of disturbing Luca, but he stopped in front of a door. He could not push it open no matter how hard he tried. Only then did he realize that outsiders were not allowed to enter.

One would need T Corporation's employee card to unlock the door.

Gordan lifted his head and shot a glance at the signage with the word 'laboratory' written on it.

Luca should be in the laboratory. She successfully ran away from him by going there.

Gordan's face grew darker. He strolled back and forth on the same floor a few times, then he returned to Luca's office.

There was nowhere he could go!

Gordan gave Luke a call with a sulky expression on his face.

This time, the call went through.

"Yes." Luke's voice came from the other end of the line. He made it clear and short.

“You're really a man of few words. Do you treat Luca that way too?" Gordan mocked him.

"Spit it out." Luke's voice still sounded cold.

“When are you coming back?" Gordan asked.

“I'm on my way to the office." Luke paused for a moment and immediately asked, “Where are you?"

“I'm in your wife's office. Anyway, how could you do that to your wife? You have such a luxurious office, but Sis' office... The sofa is simply a no-no," complained Gordan. The sofa in Luca's office was not as comfortable as the one in Luke's office.

“..." An ominous cloud hovered over Luke's eyes.

"Why aren't you talking?" It dawned on Gordan after asking that, and he immediately said, "Don't worry, Sis is in the lab. I'm alone in the office. Not only is the office empty, but I didn't even see her outside the office!"

“She's hiding in the laboratory just to run away from you." Luke chuckled. He easily figured out why Luca headed to the laboratory.

Their research was complete. She must have gone to the laboratory to run away from someone.

"Luke, save some dignity for me and don't expose it. Hurry up and come back here. The sofa in your office is more comfortable," Gordan protested.

His sense of pride was almost thrown away because of the couple.

Fortunately, no one knew about it.

The couple was not big-mouthed either.

Luke hung up the call.

Gordan listened to the busy tone coming from the other end of the line and said unconcernedly, "Tsk. It's no use playing cool with me. I'm not a woman. I don't buy that, okay?"

10 minutes later, Tina walked into Luca's office and saw Gordan but not Luca. She asked with confusion, “Mr. Norton, where's Dr. Craw?"

"She probably went to the lab. I have something to discuss with her. Can you open the lab's doors for me?" Gordan asked. If this place was not Luke's office, he could have unlocked the doors himself.

Not even those doors could stop him.
