Ch. 2511..2520

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2511-Tina knew Gordan was talking about the laboratory's doors. She replied awkwardly, “My employee card doesn't have access to those doors."

"You don't have access to those doors too?" Gordon had the urge to break down the doors.

However, if he broke those doors, Luke would not let him get away with it easily.

"Yes. Although it's in T Corporation, this floor is only accessible by Dr. Craw and her research team who work at Watsons Biopharmaceuticals. You'll need the authorization to open the doors. Other than the staff in the relevant department, the others don't have access to those doors," replied Tina.

"She picked the right place." Gordon walked toward the doors and stared at the laboratory doors. He was toying with an iron wire in his hands.

Tina could not help but wonder where he got that iron wire.

"Mr. Norton, Boss is already waiting for you in his office," said Tina. Luke arrived at his office a moment ago, and he asked Tina to bring Gordan there.

"He's here?" Gordon raised his brows. "He even sent you to inform me. Isn't it troublesome?"

Tina smiled and invited, "Mr. Norton, please go upstairs."

"Fine. Let's go." Gordon and Tina headed upstairs.

Gordon caught a whiff of the fragrance of the coffee in the air when he arrived at Luke's office.

"Brother Luke, your coffee smells good." Gordon's eyes lit up. He leaned forward to sniff the fragrance of the coffee.

Luke covered the lid of the thermos bottle.

Gordon protested with a look of protest. "I'm not gonna drink your coffee. I just wanted to take a whiff of the coffee. How petty."

"Get one for yourself if you want to take a whiff of it," replied Luke. He refused to share the coffee Luca made for him.

"That's mean. Where did you get it? I'll get it delivered." Gordan picked up his phone and was about to tap on the food delivery app. The cup of coffee was tempting.

"It's homemade," Luke opened the lid of the thermos bottle, took a sip of the coffee, and said calmly.

Gordon was green with envy. Judging from Luke's attitude, he knew it was Luca who made the coffee for him.

"Oh, Sis made it..." Gordan drawled as he put his phone back in his pocket. Then, he turned around and was about to leave the office.

“Where are you going?” Luke asked.

"Sis is just right downstairs. I'd like her to make me a cup of coffee," said Gordan. He turned back and grinned at Luke.

"No." Luke reminded. "She's mine."

"Well, she's my sister-in-law. Why are you so stingy?" Gordan was upset with Luke being overbearing.

It seemed like it had been a long time since he had coffee that smelled so good. Since Gordan broke up with Vivian, he could only drink the coffee served in the hotel and coffee shop. No one made coffee for him.

"She has nothing to do with you. And if you dare to disturb her next time, you're going back to Russia to keep an eye on the previous address of the Island of Despair." Luke turned on the computer on his desk. The coffee Luca prepared him gave him a much-needed boost. It gave him the energy to work immediately.

"..." Gordan stared at him.

This was probably what they meant by choosing women over friends, right?

"Some men prioritize women over friends," Gordan said in an enigmatic manner. He dispelled the thought of looking for Luca and asking her to make a cup of coffee for her. Then, he sat on the sofa.

"I was kind enough not to hand you to Ray," said Luke.

Vivian did not tell Ray that Gordan was pestering her, nor did Luke.

Ray would have put everything aside and come to A City to teach Gordan a lesson if anyone told him about it.

Gordan sneered when he mentioned Ray.

It was not that Gordan could not win against Ray, but Ray's subordinates were elites who were good at fighting. He could beat Ray, but he could not win his subordinates. That was why people thought that he was afraid of Ray.

Vivian came into Gordan's mind at the thought of Ray.

Even though they were divorced, that woman could still cause him trouble!

Luke dialed the intercom as he watched Gordan fall silent.

"Boss, is there anything you'd like me to do?" Tina's voice came from the other end of the line through the speaker.

"Make a cup of coffee for Mr. Norton," instructed Luke.

"Okay, Boss." Tina cut off the call. 10 minutes later, she carried two cups of coffee and knocked on Luke's office door.

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

Tina brought two cups of coffee. She placed one of them on the coffee table in front of Gordan, then she carried another cup of coffee and walked toward Luke.

"Give him both," Luke immediately said.

"Okay." Tina turned around and placed the second cup of coffee on the coffee table.

“Thank you, pretty lady." Gordan gave Tina a smile. Then, he turned to look at Luke with dissatisfaction, “Why are you getting me two cups of coffee?"

Gordan was a picky eater. He would not finish the coffee if it tasted bad.

Although the people working with Luke were good at making coffee, Gordan thought the coffee in Luke's thermos bottle would taste better.

He did not know whether it was the way Tina made the coffee or the coffee beans used to make the coffee, Luke's coffee smelled better than the coffee Tina made.

Tina smiled, turned around, and exited Luke's office. She closed the door behind her after she walked out of the office.

Luke said, “You need to be clear-headed and figure out what you really need."

"I need a glass of beer and liquor. Perhaps just one glass each isn't enough..." Gordan picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip.

It was made using the coffee beans T Corporation served to their guests. The coffee would not taste that bad.

However, there was still a difference compared to Luke's coffee.

Gordan put down the cup of coffee and waited for Luke to say something.

However, Luke just stared at the computer screen. It looked like he did not intend to reply to him.

Gordan said with dissatisfaction, “Luke, are you listening to me?"

“Go ahead. I'm working." Luke could not be bothered. Gordan was in a meaningless struggle now only because Vivian was ignoring him.

However, it did not affect Luke if Gordan sat here struggling with it.

Gordan let out a sigh and shot a glance at Luke. He did not continue to talk. Then, he picked up the cup and took a sip of the coffee again impatiently.

He still had inappropriate ideas about the coffee in Luke's thermos bottle.

However, Gordan gave up the thought of it at the thought of Luke drinking it.

Gordan's phone rang. He took his phone out of his pocket and realized it was not his phone that was ringing.

He turned to look at Luke.

Luke picked up the phone and turned on the speaker, “Village Chief, have you received the package?"

“Luke, I received it yesterday. The young people in the village took it and headed to the municipal office for the permit application. They said the application will take up to one month, then we're allowed to start the reconstruction. I gave your design to the construction foreman. He said the design is good. It's been years since he started working on the construction site, and it's his first time seeing such a good design drawing. He said our ancestral hall will become one of the attractions in X City for sure."

“Glad to hear that there's no problem with it." Luke listened as the village chief chattered away. He had never stopped replying to emails while he was on the phone, and he was still typing on the keyboard.

"Luke, you did a great job. Your designs are always so good. After the construction foreman's comments spread, even the professor of the local university who teaches architecture wanted to take a look at the drawings. By the way, when are you coming back to X City? We're planning to treat you to a meal," added the village chief.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2512-“Chief, it’s my honor. If there’s any problem with the drawing, just call me," said Luke. It was the old master’s promise. Hence, Luke had never thought of receiving any reward for it.

"Okay. Luke, thank you. Send my regards to your great-grandfather. I’ll leave you to your work," said the chief as he ended the call.

Gordon had already finished a cup of coffee. He glanced at the empty cup and rose to his feet.

"Where are you going?" Luke did not lift his head, but he stopped Gordan from doing what he was doing next.

"I’m bored sitting here. I’m going out for a walk," explained Gordan. Spending a night here was fine, but he could no longer sit here all day.

"Didn’t you say my sofa is comfortable? Continue to sit there." Luke lifted his head and shot him a glance to warn him.

Gordan was not the kind of person who would hang around the office. Therefore, he would only look for someone he knew to chat with if he went out.

The person he was familiar with the most in T Corporation was Luca.

"Luke, it’s boring here," Gordon said helplessly. He wanted to go downstairs and have a chat with Luca.

Spending time in the same space with a man was boring if there were no drinks. Sitting here and doing nothing was even more meaningless.

"You can go to other places to kill your time if you think it’s boring here. It’s been a long time since you came to A City. There’s been a lot of changes here," said Luke as his phone vibrated.

Luke picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Luca.

[Mr. Crawford, is Mr. Norton with you?]

Luke’s eyes darkened. The way she talked to him was still polite and careful. She even addressed him as ‘Mr. Crawford’.

[Yes. I’ve arrived at the office.] Luke replied to her.

[Okay.] Luca quickly replied.

Luke felt helpless looking at it.

Gordon had no choice but to sit down on the sofa again. He sized Luke up and shook his head.

With that gloomy expression on Luke’s face, he wondered who had offended him.

Luke put down his phone and continued with his work.

Meanwhile, Jason and other secretaries came in and out of the office. Gordon remained silent. He would spend some time on his phone, while other times, he would slouch on the sofa without caring about his image. It was uncertain what he had on his mind.

In the secretaries' office.

Cheryl had just come back from the CEO's office. The moment she returned to her seat, she could not wait to gossip with the other secretaries. "Do you know who the man in Boss' office is? He's cute. And his eyes seem similar to Boss'.”

"Yes. I saw him too. Although he doesn't look as classy as Boss, he's way better-looking than those popular influencers these days. I thought he was a celebrity when I first saw him!" Another secretary went along with her.

“Is he that good-looking? Let me send the documents to Boss' office if there's any you need to hand in.” Another secretary heard their conversation and became curious. She wanted to enter Luke's office to check out the hot guy.

Cheryl asked, “Don't you have any documents to hand in?"

"Ms. Cheryl, I hand in my documents to Mr. Doyle. How would I have the chance to enter Boss' office? Give me a chance, please," the secretary whined.

"Fine. You're here feeling excited when you haven't even figured out who that person is. How embarrassing." Cheryl shook her head at the two of them.

"Isn't it easy to find out who he is? We have Ms. Tina here," said one of the secretaries. Then, she immediately turned to look at Tina and asked, "Ms. Tina, do you know who that man is?"

"I'm not sure." Tina knew they wanted to gossip about it, but she showed no interest in gossiping about such things with them. She brushed them off with three words.

However, it was not easy to dismiss women who loved gossiping. One of the secretaries suggested, "Ms. Tina, you're closer to Mr. Doyle. Why don't you go and find out? Mr. Doyle would know who he is."

Tina stared at her computer screen without any changes in the expression on her face. She replied, "Since you're so curious about it, it'd be better for you to figure it out."

"Come on, Tina. Why are you saying something like that? If we're closer to Mr. Doyle, would we ask you such a favor? It's rare to see such a handsome man showing up here. We just want to find out who he is. That's not too much, right?" Cheryl noticed Tina's attitude and said in an enigmatic manner.

Tina stopped typing, lifted her head, and glanced at Cheryl. Then, she said, "You're close to Mr. Doyle too. Besides, you're the one who's curious about his identity. Isn't it the same if you ask him?"

"How could it be the same?" Cheryl frowned and secretly mumbled to herself that Tina was a difficult woman.

Cheryl wondered what ways did Tina use to become so close to Jason. Perhaps something was going on between her and Jason!

"The one who's curious about it should be the one asking." Tina withdrew her gaze. She was not planning to help them ask.

Where there were women, there would be gossip and rumors.

They even thought of dragging Tina into this just to find out who Gordan was...

Tina was speechless.

There was dead silence in the office after she said that.

The secretaries exchanged glances with each other. They did not expect Tina would be so straightforward and reject them.

They were curious, but they dared not to ask Jason about Boss' friend. After all, they had to fulfill their own duties as a secretary. They shouldn't ask too much about the boss' matters.

When Cheryl saw Tina refusing to help, she sneered. “Tina, they're just joking. You're taking it seriously."

“Ms. Cheryl, judging from how long we've joined the company, you're more experienced than me. If they're curious about Boss' matters, shouldn't you be the one to find out about it?" Tina turned to look at Cheryl.

They would not have passed the buck to her if it was that easy to find out about it.

Cheryl was at a loss for words.

Tina felt that the secretaries' office was not a pleasant place to stay for long. She rose to her feet and thought of hiding in the office pantry for a while. At this moment, Jason came into the office and said, "Tina, I need you to follow up with these documents."

"Okay, Mr. Doyle." Tina heaved a sigh. More work to do. It seemed like there was no way she could get out of this office and get some fresh air.

Jason noticed that Tina was sighing, so he asked, "What's wrong? Are you too busy to handle these?"

"Not really." Tina shook her head and took the documents Jason handed to her. She returned to her seat again, and her gaze swept across everyone in the office.

The others lowered their heads without looking at her.

Tina suddenly came up with an idea. Were they not trying to pass the buck to her? She should make the first move as well. Hence, she called out to Jason, who was heading out, "Oh, Mr. Doyle."

"Yes?" Jason turned around.

"They have a question they'd like to ask you." Tina pointed at the secretaries in the office and eventually pointed at Cheryl.

"What's the matter?" Jason looked at them.

There was a heavy silence in the office. They did not expect Tina to do such a thing.

"What's wrong?" Jason asked again and shot Tina a confused look.

Tina shrugged her shoulders.

Jason had no choice but to ask Cheryl, "Ms. Lindsey, what's wrong with everyone?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2513-When Cheryl's name was called out, she glared at Tina and said with a smile, “Mr. Doyle, there's no problem."

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Tina interrupted Jason and said, "Weren't you all curious to know the identity of the man in the boss' office? Didn't you say you wanted to ask Mr. Doyle?"

"Tina!" Cheryl did not expect Tina to be so direct, so she hurriedly called out her name.

"Didn't you want me to ask Mr. Doyle? Here, Ms. Cheryl, I've asked him." Tina smiled with a look of innocence.

Jason understood what was going on from Tina's words.

Cheryl and the others must have pissed her off. Otherwise, she would not have disrespected and exposed them like this.

Jason was also aware that Cheryl and the others' behaviors could get quite annoying at times.

However, Tina was never like this before. She seemed to have become irritable lately as if something had happened.

Jason looked at Cheryl. "Ms. Lindsey, do you want to know who the guest in the boss' office is?"

Cheryl was not foolish. She noticed Jason's gloomy expression, so she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Not at all."

"So, it must be you all who are curious." The moment Jason looked at the other secretaries, each one of them lowered their head and pretended to be occupied.

"If no one wants to know, then forget it. It doesn't matter who it is. You're not supposed to be eavesdropping. Your job in the secretaries' office is to assist the boss in handling the company's affairs, not chit-chatting and gossiping about the boss." Jason knew that if rumors about the boss spread in the company, they would most likely be from the secretaries' office.

Since they were on the same floor as Luke, they would always be the first to know stuff.

If not for convenience's sake, the secretaries' office would not be on this floor. Perhaps he should propose it to the boss.

"Yes, Mr. Doyle," said a few voices, and the secretaries dared not to say anything more now.

Jason turned to leave.

Cheryl looked at Tina scornfully. Although they entered T Corporation around the same time, she still entered a little earlier than her, so they currently had the exact same status.

Moreover, Tina was much closer to Jason, so she said sarcastically, “Tina, you take things too seriously.

Now you got us all scolded by Mr. Doyle."

Tina paused the work at hand as she knew that if she did not talk to Cheryl, this matter was not going to be settled.

"Ms. Cheryl, I didn't know you were joking. Since you made me go to the boss' office to ask about the guest with such a serious look on your face, I thought you were serious. When Mr. Doyle came, I asked for all of you." She pretended to be surprised.

Cheryl's face grew darker and sullen. "You just did it on purpose."

Tina stopped pretending as she did not have the patience to deal with anyone right now. The only bit of motivation she had left was for work, so she had no intention of putting on a facade to interact with them. "You're right. I did it on purpose. If you want to gossip in the future, do it among yourselves and don't drag me into it. Otherwise, I won't be nice enough to ask Mr. Doyle for you, I'll be asking the boss instead!"

The crowd was dumbstruck. They did not expect Tina to be so merciless.

There was a pin-drop silence in the secretaries' office.

After snapping at them, Tina assumed that they would not bother her with such trivial things anymore for the time being. Her mood was lifted at the thought of that.

She glanced at the other people in the secretaries' office who usually stuck to Cheryl. Now that Cheryl dared not speak, the others dared not say a word too.

Tina continued her work.

In the afternoon.

Luca tidied up her office and was about to head downstairs for lunch when there was a knock on her door.

"Come in." She sat back in her office chair.

Luke opened the door with lunch boxes in his hand.

Luca then knew that Luke wanted to eat the lunch boxes that Aunt Neile brought over with her, just like how they did last year.

The lunch boxes Aunt Neile made were indeed better than the food in stores. She was smiling at Luke, but when she noticed Gordan behind him, her smile disappeared.

Was he being stalked by Gordan? novelbin

"Dr. Craw, I've come to freeload on food," Gordon said with a smile. Before coming here, Luke had warned him not to address her as his sister-in-law to avoid arousing suspicion, so he changed the way he addressed Luca on the spot.

"I..." Luca did not know what to say, so she just looked at Luke.

On the contrary, he looked rather calm.

Luke was not the type to easily let Gordan have his way, so Luca was in disbelief that he would let him tag along now.

The three of them sat on the sofa together.

Luke sat in the middle with Luca on his left and Gordan on his right.

After opening the lunch boxes, Gordan inhaled deeply upon seeing the array of dishes. “Wow, what a feast!"

Neither Luke nor Luca said anything.

Gordan felt a little awkward and knew that they were doing it on purpose, so he added, "Luke, your maid is an amazing cook."

Luke handed one of the lunch boxes to Luca. They used to share one lunch box, but with Gordan here today, they had Aunt Neile prepare three lunch boxes. "Aunt Neile made this for you."

"Thank you." Luca took it. The dishes inside the lunch box were all her favorites.

Luke handed the other one to Gordan. "This is yours."

"Thank you, Luke." Gordan could not wait to open it up, but when he saw the dishes in it, he compared it to Luca's and asked, "Why is mine so little?"

"Aunt Neile didn't know that there was an extra mouth to be fed today, so be thankful that there's a portion for you," said Luke. When he informed Aunt Neile, she had already finished preparing lunch and it was too late to buy more groceries, so Gordan's portion was cobbled together with what was left.

"Fine, don't forget to tell the maid to make steak tomorrow. That's my favorite," said Gordon as he picked up the utensils and ate.

"We don't get to decide what to eat. It's up to the maid. There's a restaurant downstairs where you can order what you want," Luke said coldly while opening his lunch box.

Gordan almost choked. He coughed twice and muttered, "What happened to pals before gals?"

Luke looked at him coldly. "Don't eat, then."

"No way, I came to you without having breakfast. I'm starving. Give me a bigger portion tomorrow and I won't be picky about the dishes." Gordon scooched away from him while gripping the lunch box tightly.

Luca ate gracefully while listening to their conversation. She assumed that Gordan would be here again tomorrow.

She could not help but wonder why he was doing this. No matter how much he pestered Luke, he would not be able to get him to help. He would be better off standing in front of the gate and suffering in the cold. Perhaps Vivian would show some sympathy then.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2514-Luke ignored his request and gave Luca a piece of steak instead.

“No, thank you, Mr. Crawford." Luca turned to the side with her lunch box as it was already filled to the brim. She was afraid that she might not be able to finish if he kept giving her more.

Not to mention, Gordan was here.

Although he knew about her relationship with Luke, she was not used to PDA. novelbin

"I have too much. I can't finish. Help eat some of mine." Luke thought that Luca should eat more as gaining a little more weight would make her nicer to hug.

"Mr. Crawford, I won't be able to finish it either. it'll be a waste." Luca protested as her neck turned red.

She knew how big Luke's appetite was. If he kept giving her his food, there would not be enough left for him.

His workload was much heavier than hers. She could not let him go hungry!

Gordan shook his head in disdain at their lovey-dovey interaction.

After seeing how Luca refused to accept the food Luke gave her, Gordan pushed his lunch box closer and smiled, "Luke, this isn't enough for me. If you think you have too much, you can give me some."

Luke glared at him as a warning.

Gordan then awkwardly took back his lunch box. "I'm just kidding, hahaha. I have enough. Plus, I don't usually share food with others!"

Luca could not contain her laughter upon seeing Gordan's reaction.

Compared to the times he lashed out at Vivian, he was like a mouse encountering a cat in front of Luke. She could not help but be glad at the sight of it, served him right!

If Vivian were here to witness this, would she have laughed too?

Luca's smile vanished at the thought of Vivian. Perhaps Vivian would be the only person who would not find joy in this.

Since he was someone she loved dearly, she would only feel heartbroken, right?

Hopefully, her wounds would heal over time, so she could clear her mind and get on with her life.

"What are you thinking about?" Luke interrupted her train of thought with a frown after noticing that she was so deep in thought that she did not even eat.

"Nothing." Luca came to her senses.

Luke raised his chin slightly and told her, “Focus on eating and don't get distracted."

“Okay." Luca obeyed his orders and took another bite.

Gordan trembled as he mourned his misery. What did he do to deserve being the third wheel?

The sight of them sent chills down Gordan's spine. Was he... jealous?

No, it could not be!

He always loved freedom, and he hated the idea of being tied down. How could he be jealous of their relationship?

Being handcuffed to someone did not suit him, let alone after losing contact for over three years. There was no way he was jealous.

Luca noticed that this time, Gordan was the one staring into space with his lunch box in one hand and his utensils in the other. She said, “Mr. Norton?"

“Huh?" Gordan came back to his senses.

“Why are you zoning out?" Luca asked.

“I was just thinking about work, hahaha." Gordan let out a hollow laugh to eliminate his embarrassment.

“Don't mind him. Just eat." Luke urged Luca as he did not like it when Luca gave another man attention.

Even if that man was a good friend of his who had no ill intentions.

Luca noticed that Luke was jealous by reading between the lines, so she stopped talking and just ate instead.

After lunch, Luke took Gordan back upstairs.

On the other hand, Luca had walked several laps around her office to digest the food.

When she thought of Gordan, Vivian would come to mind, so she decided to just ignore the two.

They had bitter feelings toward each other, especially Vivian. Perhaps not knowing about his whereabouts was best for her as ignorance was bliss.

However, would Vivian be able to walk away just because they were no longer involved?

There was no guarantee, but the good thing was that it was Vivian's choice to make.

In Luca's opinion, if two people were meant to be, they would end up together no matter what obstacles came their way.

Love was a practice based on fate and the decisions made by two people. It depended on them whether their efforts would pay off or not, so it was best for onlookers like her to not meddle in their affairs so much.

Luca sat on the sofa and made up her mind to ignore them.

No matter what Gordan did, she had no intention of telling Vivian, but not doing so would be a hassle for Luke.

Besides, Gordan had been pestering Luke non-stop by following him everywhere he went.

Luca glanced at the time and decided to rest for half an hour, but there was a knock on the door.

“Come in." It seemed like resting was not in the cards for her.

Tina pushed the door open and walked in. “Dr. Craw, are you free?"

“I am. Have a seat," said Luca as she knew that Tina had something to tell her and it was about Amur.

Tina smiled gratefully and closed the door behind her. Then, she sat on the sofa with her hands folded, seemingly ill at ease.

Luca noticed and said with concern, "Tina, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I just wanted someone to talk to," said Tina. She had always been one to stick to the rules and regulations of the company without letting her private affairs intervene in her work, and neither was she one to take sides. Hence, the people in other departments liked her very much, but at the same time, they would not get too close to her.

Thus, she had no one to talk to.

Moreover, Tina knew that if she told anyone about her troubles, there was a high chance of it being spread throughout the company in no time. Hence, she could not tell them anything.

Luca was an exception.

She trusted Luca the most in the entire company. This sort of trust was hard to put into words.

She knew that Luca would not tell anyone after listening to her, so she wanted to come over for a chat.

"You don't look so good." Luca pointed out. She knew that it was because of Amur.

Truthfully, she knew that Tina and Amur had only met a few times, but Tina had become so deeply invested...

Luca did not see that coming.

"Do I look that bad?" Tina touched her face instantly.

She had been going to bed early recently with the help of Luca's sleeping pills. As long as she took them, she would fall asleep the moment she lay down.

Although she would often dream of Amur, at least she got sufficient sleep.

Plus, she would put makeup on every morning, so her complexion should not look too bad.

"No, you look great. You must have taken the sleeping pills. However, your overall energy doesn't seem too good. Are you still thinking about him?" Luca touched on the topic first.

She may not be a counselor, but she knew that to untie the knot in Tina's heart, the elephant in the room had to be addressed.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2515-Tina put her hands together at the mention of him. She looked at Luca with her panic-stricken eyes as if she was pleading for help. “I don't know what happened, I just can't let him go. Do you think Amur and I... We've only met a few times, but why does he appear in my dreams? I've never dreamt before no matter how long I slept, but I dream every day now and I don't know what to do. Dr. Craw, I know he won't return, so I want to forget him. However, the more I try to forget him, the more he appears in my dreams. Do you know what that feels like? I thought that his face would slowly fade away from my memories after not seeing him for some time, but I later realized that wasn't the case. He's still stuck in my mind. Not only that, but he's engraved in my memory. What do you think I should do?" she said helplessly.

Luca sighed as she had been through what Tina was experiencing.

In the three years when she was on the Island of Despair after being kidnapped, Luke's face had never faded from her memories because she dreamt of him every night.

Occasionally, she was fortunate enough to have sweet dreams, but most of the time, the dreams were about parting with Luke in various ways.

The feeling of being controlled by dreams was not fun.

People could not control their dreams, yet dreams could control the subconscious minds of the ones sleeping. They constantly carved an image of a person or a thing in their minds.

That was what Tina was going through now. She wanted to forget someone by not seeing or hearing them, but her subconscious mind refused to do so, which was why she often dreamt of Amur.

A duel between a person's conscious and subconscious mind could be very tiring.

"Tina, I think you need to see a therapist," said Luca.

She was almost driven crazy by her dreams in those three years, but fortunately, her faith was strong and she had support from the people around her. There were also many things for her to do there and courses for her to release her tension, so she was able to overcome it.

However, Tina's circumstances were different. Luca had her daughter by her side, so she could vent out when she was upset, but Tina could only distract herself with work.

It seemed that distracting herself with work was no longer working for her, so it would be better for her to receive therapy from a professional.

Merely venting her feelings to someone would not cut it.

She knew she needed therapy too, but she also knew that she was not one to trust easily. Perhaps seeing a therapist would not be much of a help.

She may not be able to pour her heart out to the therapist as she had always kept her image of a cold but capable secretary no matter whom she was talking to.

“Being busy is not an excuse. You still have the weekends, and two sessions a month won't take up much of your time. Tina, you can't just find an excuse because you think you can't go through with it. You may not be able to open up to the therapist at first, but you have to trust them. They're professionals, so they'll guide you and help you every step of the way. Give them a chance, and give yourself a chance to be free," said Luca.

She knew that there was only so much a therapist could do to help her, and in the end, it would all come down to her.

As for Nina, she had seen countless therapists before, but none of them helped with her depression. Only after she had a heart-to-heart with Percy did her depression get better.

One could only help oneself. Therapy was merely a tool, a tool that had little effect.

Luca suggested Tina see a therapist because she was on the verge of having a breakdown and needed some professional guidance.

"I..." Tina hesitated.

"Tina, you're in very bad shape, and it'll affect your life and your work," said Luca as the same thing had happened to Nina.

Although Tina's complexion was good, she could tell that she had lost weight.

She should be taking care of her health during the new year, but she lost weight instead.

It indicated that her mental state was starting to affect her physical health.

"Okay, I'll think about it.." Tina felt a little better after telling Luca about how she felt.

However, she knew that this feeling was only temporary. Luca did not give her much advice. She mostly just played the role of a listener.

Unlike others who would give her unsolicited advice when consoling her, Luca just suggested she see a therapist. Conversations like this did not make her feel worse.

"You need to get better. No one knows what the future holds, but you have to take care of yourself." Luca looked at Tina with a tingly sensation in her nose.

She was partly responsible for making Tina like this.

Luke was about to announce the opening of the laboratory for the researchers to use freely, and she was confident that she would be able to develop an antidote with the company's facilities.

When the time came, Amur and Eler would not be controlled by the poison. They would have a chance to escape the Island of Despair.

She did not know whether the two people would be able to start their relationship anew by then, but at this moment, she could not let Tina crumble.

"Okay, I will." Tina looked at Luca with melancholic eyes. Although Luca and Amur looked nothing alike, sometimes, she could see Amur in Luca.

Perhaps even though they were siblings from different parents, they had lived together for many years.

“No, not even on New Year's." Luca shook her head.

Tina smiled faintly but looked dismal. "He really is distant in front of everyone. Dr. Craw, can I ask you something?"

"What is it?" said Luca.

"The sleeping pills you gave are effective, but do they have any side effects?" Tina asked as she felt like she had become rather irritable and grumpier lately

She used to value peace and harmony the most. She would never openly condemn someone in the office, but she had changed. Now, she found that doing so was the most efficient way.

"Side effects? I used to take them regularly, but I never noticed any side effects. A few people who suffered from insomnia have tested them out for me too. They didn't experience any side effects either. However, everyone's body reacts differently, so I can't guarantee it," said Luca. She was certain that the pills would not cause any side effects, but she was a little more cautious with Tina.

Who would believe that there were no side effects?

However, the drugs that Shanks developed were indeed miraculous.

"Despite what I said, I can guarantee that the side effects of these pills are much milder than other sleeping pills on the market," Luca added.

Tina smiled and tucked her fine hair behind her ears before saying, "I see..."

"Why? Do you feel sick after taking the pills?" Luca asked with concern while checking Tina's pulse with her fingers.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2516-“Not at all. I just feel a little grumpy lately, and it seems like I've no patience for troublesome people and situations," said Tina.

She knew that it was not the drug that made her like this. In fact, it was Amur.

Tina only asked Luca in an attempt to find an excuse unrelated to Amur so that she could feel less like a loser.

"There seems to be a problem with your liver. I'm guessing it's because of work." Luca knew that Tina was making an excuse for her unusual behavior, so she gave her an excuse as well.

"Yeah." Tina lowered her gaze and smiled bitterly.

"Drink more water, and if you need it, I can prescribe you a dose of medicine. It's rather bitter though, so it's a little hard to have it regularly." Luca looked at her compassionately.

However, she knew that Tina did not need her compassion.

"I should just drink more water. I can't take anything bitter except for coffee," said Tina before she looked at the time and stood up. "Dr. Craw, I should get back to work now. I'll go upstairs and do some paperwork."

"Okay, I can help you if you're not feeling well, but you'll need someone professional for your mental health." Luca stood up and sent her out.

"I'll consider it." Tina was rather helpless.

She knew how stressed society was these days. Everyone needed a therapist.novelbin

However, it was the first time she had ever been defeated by stress after working at T Corporation for so many years. Moreover, the stress did not come from work or life. It was because of love.

She had thought that her work had forged her to become invincible, but just because of Amur...

Amur, who never gave her a proper farewell or made any promise to her.

That made her feel defeated.

After Tina left, Luca sat on the office chair with her phone in her hand and fell into deep thought.

What could she do now that Amur had captured Tina's heart?

A few days later, good news came from Watson Biopharmaceuticals. The department in charge had applied for a patent for the drug formula and arranged a meeting with the FDA to talk about the market price.

Luca finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Abel never called during this period, nor did he give any instructions. The drug that everyone in Watson Biopharmaceuticals had pinned their hope on had finally made it to the market.

Now that they had a patent, Abel could not do anything.

Luca breathed another sigh of relief upon seeing the messages in the group chat. It was not a dream; it was the real thing.

[Mr, Crawford, the parent for the drug has been applied for, and a meeting with the FDA has been arranged as well.] She picked up her phone and sent Luke a message.

A few seconds later, Luke replied to her: [I know. Look at the group chat.]

Luca opened the group chat and saw that the general manager had announced Luke's decision to open up a lab on one of the floors to let the researchers do their research.

Luca felt a surge of excitement.

She went back to her chat with Luke. [Mr. Crawford, now that the project research is done, can my group and I go back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals now?]

Although she had gotten used to T Corporation, if she did not return to Watson Biopharmaceuticals, she would not be able to use the lab at all.

Luca looked at her phone screen and waited for Luke's reply.

In the president's office.

Luke looked at the phone screen in deep thought.

If Luca returned to Watson Biopharmaceuticals, they would not be able to see each other much. They would only see each other at home.

However, the new program was also for Luca's convenience. If she stayed at T Corporation, the new program would not be useful for her at all.

Luke replied: [Yes, when would you like to move? I'll contact the moving company.]

Luca replied: [Tomorrow, I'll notify the others and have them pack up their things.] She was in a rush to use the facilities back at Watson Biopharmaceuticals and further analyze the components of the antidote to develop a formula.

"Sure." Upon seeing how anxious she was, he knew he made the right decision.

He put down the phone and pressed the intercom to ask Jason to arrange things with the moving company.

Then, he let out a sigh.

Gordan, who was playing games heard the sigh, so he looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" "Nothing." Luke opened a document.

"Luke, you never sigh. It must be a big deal for you to sigh. Let me guess, the several notifications you got just now were about Dr. Craw?" Gordan started guessing presumptuously.

"She's moving back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals," said Luke.

"Oh, I see, and you don't want her to leave. Both of you live together anyway, and better days are coming. Once the Island of Despair matter is resolved, things won't be bad. If outsiders find out that the president is so clingy to the point that you have to work together, will they believe it?" Gordan ridiculed.

Luke ignored his teasing.

"Don't ignore me." Gordan felt bored as he had been here for a few days.

This was the case every time. The conversation would just come to an abrupt end when Luke ignored him.

What a party pooper.

"If you're bored, the grandpas in the park will talk to you. If that's not enough, there are still grandmas," said Luke with his eyes never leaving his document.

"Pfft, the grandpas and grandmas in the park are not as interesting as you," Gordan said shamelessly.

Luke closed the file and stared at him coldly.

Gordan shivered and hurriedly made a gesture around his mouth, signaling that he would no longer talk.

In the villa.

Aunt Neile was preparing the lunchbox.

Vivian saw that it was time to prepare lunch, so she went into the kitchen to help.

She saw that there were three large lunch boxes on the kitchen counter, so she asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for days.

"Aunt Neile, are you preparing three lunch boxes again?" she asked in the local dialect.

"Yup. Ms. Vivian, let me do it. You're the guest, so go and rest," said Aunt Neile cheerfully.

Vivian wanted to ask further, but she did not know how to say it in the local dialect, so she opened up the translation app on her phone to translate the words she wanted to say. "Aren't you making lunch for Mr. Crawford and Luca? Why have you been making three lunch boxes these days?"

Aunt Neile explained, "Mr. Crawford said that there's a guest, so this is for the guest."

"I see." Aunt Neile's reply did not reassure Vivian. It made her puzzled instead.

How could there be a guest for several days in a row.

Although many people frequented a big company like T Corporation, dining together with a guest for a few days was a little strange.

Even if there was a guest, Luke would not be that reckless.

He would not have a guest eat from a lunch box.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2517-Vivian thought that if it were really a guest, they would go to a restaurant.

"Aunt Neile, why don't you let me deliver the lunch box today?" Vivian continued to reply with the help of the translator. She felt like this guest of Luke's might be Gordan.

If it were him, why did Luke not say anything?

Could it be that he did not want her to be upset?

If it were Gordan, he must be bothering Luke at T Corporation because of her. In that case, she would be the bad guy now.

Although Luke never said anything, Vivian did not want to trouble others because of her, so she wanted to find out.

"Ms. Vivian, the driver will send this. You don't have to do it," Aunt Neile said with a smile. Every time lunch was ready, Lliam would come and get it before sending it to T Corporation. There was no need for her to deliver it. novelbin

"I have to see Mr. Crawford, and since the lunch boxes need to be delivered, let me go. It's convenient anyway since there's a driver." Vivian used the translator to tell Aunt Neile.

"In that case, okay. You can follow Lliam's car to T Corporation when he comes," Aunt Neile agreed without much hesitation.

"Okay." Vivian helped Aunt Neile wash the dishes. She just wanted to go and confirm her doubts.

However, if it were really Gordan, would she want to see him?

Was Gordan following Luke around to get her to come out?

Vivian felt uneasy at the thought of this.

She had been feeling uneasy ever since Gordan stopped standing in front of the entrance, but at the same time, she felt relieved. Fortunately, he gave up, because if he had persisted, she would be the first to give in.

However, she did not feel any better now that she knew that he had been pestering Luke. Was she really going to give him another chance to hurt her?

Vivian was in a dilemma.

After washing the vegetables, Aunt Neile started grilling the steak.

"You're making steak today?" Vivian saw her cooking it and asked curiously.

“Yup. Mr. Crawford said that the guest likes steak, so he asked me to prepare some, but making steak is not my forte," Aunt Neile said resignedly as she had no choice but to obey Luke's orders.

"I'm good at making steak. Let me do it," said Vivian. Gordan liked eating steak too. She even enrolled in a cooking class to have a Michelin chef teach her how to cook steak.

She knew Gordan's taste as well, but he was grossed out by her steak before he even took a bite. He treated her cooking like how he treated her.

"Really?" Aunt Neile was surprised to hear her say that as she had been struggling to cook steak before this.

She had even considered getting steak from a five-star restaurant and pretending she was the one who prepared it.

"Have you forgotten where I came from? Let me do it, Aunt Neile." Vivian took the pan from Aunt Neile's hands and started grilling the steak.

Although Gordan liked steak, she still could not confirm that the guest was him, so she asked deliberately, "By the way, what sauce should I use for the steak? Tomato sauce? I remember that Luca likes tomatoes a lot."

"No. Mr. Crawford says that the guest hates tomato sauce. Any sauce is fine, as long as it's not tomato," Aunt Neile quickly said. Luke had made his instructions clear.

"I see... Alright." Vivian smiled bitterly. The guest did not eat tomatoes.

It was Gordan.

He hated tomatoes the most. No matter what dish it was, he never liked tomatoes.

Even if it were a fancy dish with tomatoes as a decoration, as long as the tomato had been cut open, he would not eat it as he believed that the smell of the tomatoes would affect the taste of the dish.

She knew him very well, so she asked Aunt Neile.

She did not expect to have confirmed it before she even got to T Corporation.

Vivian finished making the steak as well as the sauce. She left the rest to Aunt Neile.

"Aunt Neile, I'm not in a rush to see Mr. Crawford, so I'll just wait for him to come back. I won't be going to T Corporation with the driver," said Vivian.

'Alright." Aunt Neile did not think much of her sudden change of mind.

"You can finish the rest, I'll go upstairs. No need to call me down for lunch. I'm not hungry." Vivian smiled faintly before leaving the kitchen.

She had to calm herself down after confirming that it was Gordan.

Vivian dragged her tired body to her bedroom and closed the door before burying herself under the covers.

"What should I do.." she muttered. She knew that they would not get back together even if she met up with him to talk.

Gordan did not like her at all.

The reason why he was like this was that her act of kindness had hurt his ego.

Therefore, even if they met up and talked, she would get hurt in the end and would need a longer time to forget him.

That was why Vivian avoided seeing him.

She did not expect that her cowardly behavior would bring such great trouble to Luke.

Luke was a good person, but she had put him in a dangerous position before. Hence, Vivian did not want him to suffer from Gordan's torment.

“Gordan, when will you let me go..." Tears fell from Vivian's eyes.

In the evening.

Luca returned to the mansion first as Luke had to work overtime.

As soon as she walked into the living room, Aunt Neile came to her with an anxious look on her face. "Ms. Craw, you're back. Why don't you go upstairs and see what's going on with Ms. Vivian?"

"What's wrong with Vivian?" Luca wondered.

"After Ms. Vivian helped make lunch, she went to her room to rest and said that she wasn't hungry, so she skipped lunch. She didn't come down until three o'clock, so I went up to knock on her door, but Ms. Vivian didn't open the door for me. She just said that she was tired and asked me to not disturb her. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything since this afternoon. I'm worried that something has happened to her, but I don't dare to open the door..." Aunt Neile said.

"I'll go have a look." Luca touched the three children's heads and said, "You three go read. I'll go check on Ms. Vivian."

"Ms. Luca, I'll come too." Tommy raised his hand as he also heard what Aunt Neile said just now.

He wanted to knock on the door, but Aunt Neile said not to disturb Vivian as she was resting, so he did not bother her.

"Good boy, I'm going to talk to her for a while. You go read your book, okay?" Luca could roughly guess why Vivian was like this.

It must be because of Gordan.

In order to make Vivian open up, she would have to bring up Gordan, but she was afraid that the children would be confused if they heard her. She did not want to let them know about the troubles of the adult world.

They had to keep their innocence.

"Alright." Tommy listened to her and sat back down on the couch to read.

After changing her shoes and taking off her coat and scarf, Luca headed upstairs.

Knock, knock. "Vivian, are you there?" she said while knocking on the door of the guest room.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2518-"Luca, I'm here." Vivian's voice came from behind the door.

"Can I come in?" Luca heard her muffled voice and guessed that she had probably been crying.

"Luca, I want to be alone right now." Vivian turned her down.

Luca sighed and said, "Aunt Neile told me that you've been in your bedroom since noon and haven't stepped out since. Let me in and tell me what's on your mind, alright?"

"Luca, it's alright. I'm just sleepy." It took several seconds for Vivian to reply.

Luca felt helpless, but she did not feel great leaving Vivian by herself. She toughened up and said, "If you don't open the door for me, my only option would be to ask Aunt Neile to come and open the door."

Vivian stayed on the sofa. After she heard what Luca said, she knew that she had to let her in, so she went to open the door.

"Luca, I'm fine..."

Luca saw her puffy eyes and shook her head helplessly. "Your eyes are all red and you want me to think that you're okay?"

"My eyes are just a little itchy today," Vivian said.

"Do you already know?" Luca walked into the guest room and closed the door. She pulled Vivian to sit on the sofa.

"Huh?" Vivian looked at her in surprise as she did not expect Luca to know what was on her mind even before she said anything...

"We had steaks, but they didn't taste like the ones that Aunt Neile usually makes. It was more of a Russian technique. Vivian, what did you find out?" Luca probed.

Vivian's mood had been stable the past few days, but she suddenly lost it on that day. Luca knew that it must be related to Gordan.

Vivian nodded and replied, "He doesn't eat anything that has tomato in it. I suspected something when Aunt Neile mentioned that she had to prepare three portions of lunch because you had a guest. I offered to help Aunt Neile prepare the steaks, and I knew for sure when Aunt Neile said that the guest didn't like tomato sauce..."

Luca did not expect that she would find out in this way...

"Luca, is it him?" Vivian asked. novelbin

"Okay, I won't hide it from you anymore. It's him. He's been at T Corporation these last couple of days." Luca had to confess. In that situation, there was no need to hide from Vivian any longer.

"It's really him... He's been going to T Corporation because of me?" Vivian was inexplicably flustered. She had a lot of questions on her mind when she did not ask, but she did not feel great after the topic was initiated.

"I don't know about that. Mr. Crawford didn't tell me anything. Vivian, don't overthink it." Luca rubbed her shoulder.

Vivian's eyes were red. She looked like she could break down into tears at any moment.

"Luca, I feel very guilty that my issue with him has affected so many people. Do you know about Mr. Crawford's past?" Vivian curled up on the sofa and folded her arms.

Of course, Luca knew about Luke's past.

"I don't..." she said even though it was a lie.

"If I hadn't insisted on being with Gordan, Mr. Crawford wouldn't have been in so many dangerous situations. He almost couldn't come back to A City. Ray made a lot of concessions because of my willfulness. Now, I thought I could see everything clearly, but I didn't expect that it would cause trouble to Mr. Crawford..." Vivian was a shy person to begin with. What she feared most was causing trouble to others.

"Nothing of that sort! Don't overthink it. Besides, based on Mr. Crawford's character, if he thinks Mr. Norton is in the way, he'll never let him step foot into the company. Maybe they have something to discuss, which explains why they've been spending the last few days together. It hasn't affected anyone, so don't stress about it." Luca touched her head to comfort her.

"Luca, you won't lie to me, right?" Vivian knew Luca was trying to comfort her.

"You can ask Mr. Crawford if you don't believe what I said. Besides, you know Mr. Crawford. No one can disturb him when he's working," Luca broke it down for her.

Vivian nodded.

Luca took her hand and stood up. "Okay, Aunt Neile should have dinner ready. Let's go downstairs to eat. You haven't been downstairs all afternoon, and the kids are worried sick about you."

"I didn't mean to..." Vivian was even more embarrassed when she learned that the children were worried about her.

Luke and Bianca's children were all little angels that Vivian liked very much.

She looked at Luca, who was holding her hand, and inexplicably felt fond of her.

The two went downstairs.

Tommy jumped up and hugged Vivian's thigh as he said, "Aunt Vivian, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I've rested for an afternoon, and I feel much better now." Vivian touched Tommy's head. ‘Who wouldn't like a kid like him?'

"Oh, I'm glad to hear that. I was worried about you!" Tommy put a sticker on the back of her hand as he expressed his concern.

Vivian smiled.

"Okay, Mr. Crawford has to work overtime today. Shall we eat first?" Luca said. She guessed that Aunt Neile had dinner ready.

Kids need to eat regularly to promote their health and development.

"Okay." Vivian nodded and walked with Tommy toward the dining room.

Luca waved to Lanie and Rainie.

The two children walked over obediently and each held her hand on either side.

Rainie asked softly when she saw Vivian walk into the dining room, "Ms. Luca, Aunt Vivian seems to be in a much better mood."

"Yeah, she's doing much better." Luca took their hands and walked into the dining room. She did not share much about the troubles among the adults.

At the same time, she understood that Lanie and Rainie knew a lot better than Tommy about the drama going on with the adults.

Otherwise, they would not be so restrained when Vivian came downstairs.

Only Tommy rushed toward Vivian and expressed his worries, while Lanie and Rainie were still standing there. They were worried that expressing their worries would make Vivian think of unpleasant things.

The two children who were carefully cared for by the Crawford family grew up in a carefree environment, but they knew so much.

Luca felt distressed when she thought of that.

After they were done eating, Vivian no longer had any negative emotions. She watched cartoons with the children.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief seeing her getting along so well with the kids. Whether she was in a good mood or she was faking it, at least she no longer shut herself down.

"Vivian, Lanie, Rainie, Tommy, enjoy the cartoon. I'll be working in the study. Drop me a text if you need me," Luca said to them. She would be back in Watson Biopharmaceuticals tomorrow, so she wanted to make the best use of her time to rush the analysis for the ingredients of the antidote.

"Okay, get to your work. I'll watch the kids." Vivian smiled sweetly.

Luca smiled and walked up to the second floor. She felt at ease with Vivian's help watching the children.

Also, the kids did not make a fuss.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2519-Luca walked into the study and was about to pack up the experimental samples and data when she suddenly realized that had not told Luke about what happened with Vivian.

She picked up her phone and texted Luke: [Vivian found out that Mr. Norton has been at T Corporation.]

[How is she feeling now?] Luke replied within minutes.

Luca replied: [Her emotions have stabilized and she seems fine. It's just that... Mr. Norton's presence has a great impact on her.] She felt helpless in this situation.

Although Gordan being in T Corporation all day long did not affect Luke much, Vivian would inevitably have a bee in one's bonnet.

Vivian would suffer more damage if the two went on as such.

After all, in a relationship that was not of mutual liking, whoever fell for the other first would be the biggest loser.

Clearly, Vivian was the loser.

[Mm, I see.] Luke replied to Luca's message and looked at Gordan after it was sent.

Gordan came back to his senses after being stared at for several seconds. He frowned and asked, "What are you looking at me like that for?"

"Vivian knows you've been harassing me for days," Luke said.

Gordan got excited. Based on what he knew of Vivian's temperament, the last thing she wanted was to trouble others because of her matters. His goal had been achieved now that she knew about his

presence. He just needed to wait for her to come to look for him.

"Hmph, so what if she knows? I'm not harassing you. Even though I'm sitting here, your work efficiency is still as per usual. Also, I've handled a lot of things for you. You can't say that I'm harassing you," Gordan said. He was helping out with managing Gale and Rain.

Luke kept silent.

Gordan felt bored. He looked at the documents on his desktop, which were not as many as usual. He suggested, "Brother Luke, why don't we go to the nightclub for a drink? I'll pay."

"No." Luke relentlessly turned him down.

Gordan insisted, saying, "You don't have much work today."

"Only lonely people go to bars to drink. I'll go home after I go through the rest of the documents. There are people waiting for me at home." Luke took a sip of water and did not bother to look up.

"Tsk, there's a sour smell here." Gordan played with the phone, feeling bored.

Luke and Jason were always thinking about their respective partners, Luca and Sue.

The last few days could be said to be the most depressing time in his life.

He could only watch others show affection for their partners while he was not interested in anything except drinking.

Even though Luke's secretaries were good-looking, Gordan changed his usual attitude and did not even bother to flirt with them.

He swiped the news on his phone, bored.

A notification popped up on the screen. He glanced at it quickly and said in surprise, "Hey, the Mallories are making a move."

Luke looked up at him and said, "What?"

"Look at the news that just came out. Old Master Mallory contacted the reporter and said that Mallory Corporation will hold a shareholder general meeting in three days to announce the new adjustments for the development of Mallory Corporation in the new year." Gordan smiled. He knew that Percy being with Nina upset Old Master Mallory, so he knew the intention behind the general meeting that Old Master Mallory called for.

It was a warning to Percy!

If he kept going his own way and stayed with Nina, he would be the abandoned son of the Mallory Corporation.

"They're taking action," Luke said as he picked up the landline and pressed the intercom. "Come in for a second."

"Okay, Boss." Jason's voice came from the phone.

Gordan smiled and said, "Percy was also born with a silver spoon. Do you think he can beat Old Master Mallory?"

Old Master Mallory had been in the corporate world for so many years. He had gone through the rough waves and survived the financial turmoil. He would not be easy to deal with.

No matter how strong Percy was, it would be difficult for him to face Old Master Mallory, who was known to be an old but sly fox.

Luke did not answer his question. After all, it was hard to tell until the last minute. It was up to Percy how he wanted to deal with it.

Nevertheless, he was certain that Percy would not give up on Nina.

His life path would be much harder than before since he decided to marry Nina.

Jason knocked on the door and walked in, "Boss, what can I do for you?"

"Mallory Corporation will hold a shareholder general meeting in two days. Pierre has already spread the news, and many people will not have confidence in the decision made by Old Master Mallory. Therefore, there'll be a lot of people selling Mallory Corporation's shares when the market opens tomorrow. Pierre will also take advantage of this to buy and own more of Mallory Corporation's shares. Find a few people and compete with him to acquire the scattered shares in the market. Get as many as you can," Luke said. He was planning to go all out since he had agreed to help Percy.

"Okay, Boss." Jason nodded.

"Don't stop acquiring shares until the shareholders' meeting is held. In the next few days, hand over your work to Tina and focus on buying shares. You must find people you can trust. You know what I mean?” Luke instructed him carefully.

"Boss, I understand." Jason nodded.

"Mm, if you have no concerns, that would be it," Luke said as he stood up. His work for the day was done.

"Okay, Boss." Jason nodded and left the CEO's office.

Gordan asked, "Are you done with work?"

"Go home." Luke expressed his determination that Gordan would not be following him.

Gordan wailed, "For the sake of the trivial things I've handled for you, help me too!"

"You want to drink?" Luke looked at Gordan only after he put on his coat.

Gordan nodded.

"Help me with one more thing, then. I'll buy you a drink in return. It can be as expensive as you want," Luke said.

"Really? The favor must be a difficult one." Gordan stood up lazily. He did not enjoy being in any office due to the atmosphere. He would not have stayed at T Corporation for so many days if he did not want to force Vivian to see him.

"It's not a difficult task for you." Luke picked up his briefcase and packed up his laptop. "You know Matysh Abaza, right?"

"Matysh Abaza from M Group?" Gordan knew of Matysh but had never bothered to make friends with him.

After all, the fact that he liked to fool around with women had spread in the Russian upper class. Despite that, Matysh had never bothered to restrain himself.

Those who were desperate to rise to prominence were happy to offer their wives and daughters to spend a night with him to get rich. There were also people like him who were reluctant to get close to Matysh because they thought he was dirty and despicable.

Luke nodded and continued talking, "He fell in love with Luca and came to A City to get her. I need your help to get rid of him."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2520-"No wonder Gale and Rain have been reporting about Matysh for the past few days. I didn't think that he was hitting on Luca!" Gordan pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

He knew that Luke was going to make a move on Matysh, but he did not expect Luca to be involved.

After all, T Corporation was in partnership with M Group, and the president of M Group was Marcos for the time being.

The relationship between Matysh and Marcos had not been great all along, so Gordan thought that it was because of Marcos that Luke investigated and wanted to take action against Matysh.

After all, helping the partner to solve a problem could consolidate the cooperation between T Corporation and M Group moving forward.

Gordan now knew that Luke did it because of Luca.

It seemed that Luca was more important to Luke than his career.

"Are you going to help or not?" Luke asked while he leaned against the desk. Gordon's involvement was a matter of a one-sentence reply.

"Of course, I'll help. I have nothing to do anyway. You owe me a drink after this." Gordan agreed. He owed Luke and Luca, so he had to help when it involved getting the couple back together.

He would have agreed even if Luke did not offer to buy him a drink.

"Mm, I'll leave the next steps to you. Matysh should be taking action soon," Luke said. Gale mentioned that Matysh recently met with the head of the biggest crime family in A City. Marcos also mentioned his family's dissatisfaction with Matysh as he had been in A City for the past two months. As such, he knew that it was a matter of time before Matysh struck.

"Okay, I'll head back to the hotel first so that I won't get in the way of those who have partners to go home to." Gordan lazily walked out of the CEO's office and bumped into Cheryl.

Cheryl blushed when she saw Gordan's handsome face. "Mr. Norton, good evening."

"Good evening." Gordan did not notice the shy look on Cheryl's face. He just left lazily.

Cheryl looked at Gordan's tall frame and could not help but fall into a fascination. Although she worked by Luke's side all year round, she knew after some time that her boss was not interested in her.

As such, Cheryl had no interest in Luke even though she thought he was handsome.

However, Gordan was different...

Although all she knew was his name and that he was Luke's friend, she could not help but be interested in him.

'Such a handsome man...On top of that, he's Mr. Crawford's friend. He's dressed in branded goods and oh, his bad boy temperament..'

Cheryl knew that she had fallen for him.

"Ms. Lindsey, what are you doing standing here?" Luke frowned when he came out and saw Cheryl standing in the doorway of his office.

She was looking in the direction of the elevator, so he wondered if she was looking at Gordan.

"Ah, Boss." Cheryl snapped out of it and lowered her head in panic. 'Mr. Crawford didn't see my nympho look just now, did he?'

As his secretary, Cheryl knew how much Luke hated nympho women.

There was a junior secretary who had just graduated and joined the company previously. She was somewhat smart and knew that she could not date her colleagues, so she had a crush on a client who was working with T Corporation instead.

She made frequent mistakes at work when she was in a daze and Luke eventually fired the junior secretary.

The reason was that nymphos affected the company's image.

"What are you looking at?" Luke looked in the direction of the elevator. Gordan had already left, and not even a shadow could be seen.

"I'm here to drop some documents off to you," Cheryl said quickly. She noticed that Luke was carrying a briefcase in his hand, so she asked, "Boss, are you leaving now?"

"Mm, are the documents urgent?" Luke glanced at her hand. Sure enough, she was holding a few documents.

"None of them need to be rushed," Cheryl said.

"Put them on my table. I'll deal with them tomorrow," Luke said. It was not early, and all he wanted was to go home and hug Luca to sleep.

If it were not for the fact that there were too many documents and it was inconvenient to move them around, he would have chosen to work overtime at home.

That was because Luca, his favorite woman, was at home.

"Okay, Boss." Cheryl lowered her gaze and breathed a sigh of relief when Luke left. She knew she had to be more alert.

After all, she felt a sense of pride working at T Corporation compared to working at other companies. The salary was high and the culture was great. She could not afford to lose her job.

Cheryl placed the documents on Luke's desk, looked over at the couch, and thought of the scene of Gordan lounging on the couch.

'That man is so handsome...It's a pity that I can't find any information about him on the internet. I don't know his real identity.'

The kids were asleep when Luke got home.

Luca was not in the living room on the first floor. Vivian was the only one there.

Usually, when there was no one in the living room on the first floor, Vivian would also return to the guest room. However, she was sitting in the living room, and it seemed that she was waiting for him.

"Vivian, why aren't you resting upstairs?" Luke asked.

Vivian stood up and said somewhat restrainedly, "Mr. Crawford, I was waiting for you. Can I take five minutes of your time? It won't take long. I just want to confirm something." novelbin

"Gordan has indeed been at T Corporation for the last couple of days." Luke knew what she wanted to confirm.

"He must have disturbed you..." Vivian lowered her eyes, she was a little sad.

"No, he's helping me with something. Didn't Luca tell you?" Luke knew that Vivian did not want to see Gordan, so he said that on purpose.

Even if Gordan was there, he would never bother anyone with their work, so it did not matter.

"She said she didn't know because she's not on the same floor. Is he really helping you with your work?" Vivian looked at him, wanting to confirm something from his eyes.

"Mm, yes." Luke nodded. "I don't have any reason to lie to you."

"Mr. Crawford, can you help me with one more thing?" Vivian made up her mind.

She was about to start school. It would be inconvenient to live at Luke's when school starts.

From her conversation with Luca, she knew that Gordan would be able to harass her even if she chose to live on campus.

No matter where Gordan stood, his outstanding handsome face was a beautiful sight that attracted the attention of countless women. She did not want to be caught by him at her new school.

She wanted to spend her next few years studying abroad in a low-key manner.

If she wanted to enjoy her peace, she had to face the person she did not want to face the most.

"Tell me." Luke saw that she seemed to have made up her mind. Gordon's plan worked after he hung around his company for the past few days.

"I want to meet Gordan at T Corporation. I need to borrow your subordinates, Rain and Gale." Vivian said. Although Gordan would not drag it on any further, he would inevitably lose his temper if they could not get on the same page.

She was his wife before, so she was okay to bear with his temper. However, at that moment, Vivian did not want to deal with it any longer.
