Chapter 453 You Can Kiss and Hug Me All You Want Once I'm Home
Mavis was mentally strong.
In the face of Luke's piercing gaze, she kept a cold smile on her face, even though her chest felt tense.
She knew how shrewd Luke was.
She dared not lie to him, so she admitted it graciously. "Yes, Mr. Crawford. When I sat in your car the last time, I went to the convenience store and bought some lingerie, but when I got home, one piece was missing. I didn't dare to ask you about it. After all, it is lingerie, and I felt awkward..."
The always capable and cold Mavis showed a rare feminine look of embarrassment when she spoke of it.
Seeing Mavis admitting it generously without the slightest concealment, Luke was less suspicious.
If there had been any seed of doubt, it was now gone.
He even thought it was funny that Bianca had made such a fuss about an unidentified piece of women's clothing.
His woman was good in everything but possessive in her feelings.
However, he loved her and doted on her. He could let her have her way and tolerate everything about her. i
Mavis had worked for him for years. Luke knew how good she was at her job.
Ms. Laviere was one of the top executives in the company who had generated the most wealth for the company with her dedication to work. However, she did not seem interested in men and was very
deferential to him.
It never occurred to Luke that his female subordinate had any other thoughts for him.
"I see. So it was an oversight.1' Luke nodded in an enlightened way.
Mavis felt relieved when she heard him say that.
"I hope you don't make the same mistake again, Ms. Laviere. I hate having other people's personal belongings in my car, especially women's lingerie. That can create misunderstandings."
Mavis's body and nerves tensed up.
Hearing that, Mavis, who knew his character well, knew that the CEO would not pursue the matter further and breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, Mr.
Crawford."
Clever as she was, she would only use such a dirty trick once. She would not allow the same thing to repeat.
"Okay." Luke stopped looking at her and went back to his work.
Mavis did not leave immediately but looked at him with fascination as he worked hard.
While Luke reviewed the documents, his phone suddenly beeped, indicating that a message had arrived. Seeing that it was a message from Bianca, he unprecedentedly put away the work at hand and opened the messenger app.
When Luke saw the cute GIF that Bianca sent him, a gentle smile appeared on the corners of the man's stiff lips.
Then he replied to Bianca's message.
Luke: [Okay, you can kiss and hug me all you want once I'm home.]
After thinking about it, Luke sent a smirking emoticon. Luke's expression softened as he thought of Bianca's expression upon receiving the message. 1
Mavis was shocked by Luke's sudden change in expression.
In her eyes, Luke was incisive, cold, fierce, resolute, and decisive. He had never shown an expression like that...
Mavis tilted her head a little to stealthily see who Luke was talking to, but she saw a cute profile photo with the remark "Darling".
'Darling?'
As if a bolt of thunder had struck her heart, Mavis was frightened and panicked!
When did Luke get so close to that woman that he even called her" Darling?"
Mavis's eyes suddenly became blurred. Her heart seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds of stone that left her breathless.
She froze in front of Luke’s desk, just like a wooden sculpture, unable to move.
Her eyes misted up as if tears would fall in the blink of an eye.
Luke looked up and saw Mavis standing in front of his desk. He asked aloud, "Ms. Laviere? Is there anything else?"
The man's deep, magnetic voice woke Mavis, who realized her misdemeanor.
Concealing her sad eyes, Mavis smiled like usual. "Sorry, Mr. Crawford. I'm good, bye for now."
Turning to leave, she dared not look at his handsome face that was indifferent to her.
It was a face that doted on another woman but bore no gentleness for her.
Soon, it was time to get off work. Luke had to work overtime. He wanted the driver to take Bianca home, but she insisted on waiting for him to go home together.
Luke was afraid that the pregnant Bianca would be hungry, so he sent her to a famous dessert cafe near the company and asked her to wait there.
The dessert cafe was large and crowded. The environment was very comfortable.
The cafe had a variety of desserts that were unique and beautiful. Their food had an appetizing milky fragrance.
Bianca sat on a window seat and savored their signature stroopwafel.
The stroopwafel had a hard and crispy exterior. The outside was roasted with a layer of snow-colored syrup, while the inside was filled with caramel and honey. It tasted sweet but not cloying.
As Bianca ate her dessert, Charmaine walked in with her shades on.
Charmaine had kept her eye on Bianca since Leia gave her the secret mission.
Since it was a secret, Charmaine would not stupidly go to T Corporation and openly look for Bianca. Instead, she chose to spy on her every move and try to find the best opportunity to communicate with her alone.
She did not expect herself to be so lucky as to find her alone in the dessert cafe on the first day of surveillance.
Remembering Leia's enticing offers, Charmaine pushed open the glass door of the cafe, and her tall figure walked in.
Charmaine sat down opposite of Bianca, which astounded her.
"Ms. Rayne, Bianca Rayne?" Charmaine took her shades off and revealed a gorgeous face.
Looking at the woman dressing so fashionably it made her look rather gaudy, Bianca asked in confusion, "I'm Bianca Rayne. May I ask who you are?"
Charmaine sized up Bianca's smooth, fair face and lit a cigarette in front of her.
She said bluntly, "You don't need to know who I am, but I want you to leave Luke."
Bianca had been very sensitive to the smell of cigarettes since she was pregnant. She was already upset when the strange woman smoked freely in front of her. After hearing what Charmaine said, she looked vacantly at the woman opposite as if she had been injected with anesthetic.
'Who is this woman? Why is she asking me to leave Luke?'
