Chapter 46 She Felt Parched


    The car slowly began to move.


    Jason had already made all the necessary arrangements at the hotel in advance.


    Bianca sat straight-up in the car. She did not dare to look in front of her, just in case the man


    identally entered her point of view, so she kept looking at the road as it passed them.


    Luke waszily perusing some newspapers. His slender and well-defined fingers held the corners of


    the paper, and he emanated a chill, as though he was frozen in ice. He did not say anything either.


    All of a sudden, Bianca felt parched.


    Every time she was nervous, she always wanted to drink some water.


    When they arrived at the hotel, Sue did not wait for Bianca to catch up with her. Instead, she


    enthusiastically greeted the three partners and went into the hotel.


    She thought of herself as quite the veteran in the field. Of course she noticed what was happening.


    The overbearing man Bianca mentioned who may be pursuing her on a whim was probably the boss of


    T Corporation himself. In other words, he was her highest superior.


    She was also certain that the special assistant to the president, Jason Doyle, knew that as well. He


    was walking in front of her, lookingpletely calm andposed.


    The proof was that Jason had specially arranged for Bianca to take the boss'' car.


    Suddenly, Sue Carter was overjoyed. She was a hundred times happier now than she had been when


    shended that important project. At the end of it all, she was a pragmatic woman, and she knew that


    women had it just a little tougher than men when it came to climbing the corporatedder.


    Bianca Rayne was her lucky charm. After all, she was the woman the boss fancied now!


    It did not matter if it was just a whim or just a temporary change in tastes. No matter what, the truth


    remained that Bianca was the only woman the boss was interested in right now.


    Also, all men had amon weakness. They always thought the grass was greener on the other side,


    and the harder it was to get to that grass, the more obsessed they would be with it. Sue was


    starting to think that she should do something about this.


    She would leave ying hard-to-get to that good girl Bianca. Sue''s job now was to y matchmaker


    and get the two of them together.


    Her career was in its developmental stage right now, and Sue knew very well that she needed an "ally"


    who could put in a good word for her with the boss. Right now, the only possible candidate was Bianca.


    Soon, all of them reached the hotel.


    Bianca was a nobody in thepany, so she was relegated to walking two meters behind Luke. As


    they got out of the car, went through the hotel lobby, and arrived at the elevators, she kept her head


    down and walked silently without a word.


    When the elevator doors opened, she had no choice but to get inside.


    Since she was thest to get inside, she had to stand at the front of the elevator. If she wanted to move


    backward, she would have to squeeze past the man. Since she wanted to avoid all physical contact


    with him, she just had to stay where she stood obediently.


    The elevator doors closed.


    When they arrived on the floor with the restaurant, Bianca went inside and took her seat alongside the


    others.


    The food was served, followed by the wine.


    Just then, Bianca''s phone rang.


    "Excuse me, I have to go out and take a call," Bianca stood up and addressed everyone apologetically.


    Everyone seated turned to look at her.


    Luke, however, did not look up at her. He just said coolly, “Be quick about it."


    Bianca immediately went outside.


    Once she left the room, Bianca stood in the corridor and took the call." Hello?''


    The caller was one of her female colleagues from the design department, Nelly Lowe. She wore her


    heart on her sleeve and was quite friendly to Bianca.


    Nelly said in a whisper, "I came out for lunch and saw your boyfriend, Jean. He... He was dragging a


    woman into the fire escape, looking all suspicious. You know what I think?’


    Bianca,


    "He''s a cheating a-hole, he totally is!" Nelly said.


    "How is he an a-hole...?" It had barely been a month since they arrived at thepany. There was no


    way he managed to snag another woman at thepany so quickly.


    If he really had a new girlfriend, he would not keep bothering Bianca, his ex, anyway.


    Most importantly, she was engaged to Jean just half a month ago.


    If he had a new woman, why would he propose to her?


    "I''ll put the phone on speaker, so listen but don''t say anything. I only heard this cuz I was


    eavesdropping..." Nelly whispered before turning around the corner to the fire escape door. She put her


    phone, on speaker, in a flowerpot nearby and then ran far away, worried that the two of them would


    come out and find her.


    "So are you trying to bail on me? That''s not what you said when you f*cked me senseless back then."


    Bianca paused when she heard that.


    "You were the one who seduced me first, weren''t you? Are you going to pin


    the me on me now?'' Jean sounded furious.


    Inparison, Marie soundedpletely at ease.


    ''Yes, I seduced you, but you took the bait on my first try. That doesn''t make you much better than me,


    does it? Only a man who can actually control himself has any right to use me.”


    "Shut up, I don''t intend on wasting my breath on you. Just do as I say and abort that kid. I don''t want it!"


    "Do you really think I''ll abort it just because you told me to? You were the one who was yelling about


    knocking me up as you plowed into me, that''s why I let you go in raw! That''s why I didn’t take any


    morning-after pills and let you shoot into me. Now I''m really pregnant, and you''re saying you don''t want


    to marry me? Who do you take me for, that idiot Bianca?’


    Bianca stood in the hotel corridor, closing her eyes gently.


    Marie was pregnant, and Jean did not say that the baby was not his. He just wanted to get rid of it. That


    proved that they had slept together, probably more than once too...


    It took at least twenty to thirty days before a pregNelly test could test positive.


    Bianca was starting to feel like she was an idiot, just like they said. An idiot among idiots. Marie had


    been sleeping with Jean for a long time now, but she had not noticed at all.


    Her boyfriend had slept with another woman and thene to her, pretending to be all innocent as he


    fell on one knee and proposed to her. Meanwhile, she was moved to tears and said yes so easily.


    Bianca pulled at the corners of her mouth in self-deprecation.


    She suddenly remembered that time when Jean went on a business trip soon after they started working


    at thispany. She had sent him a WeChat message, but after they ended their chat, he sent her


    another random line of words. Now that she thought about it, there was a high chance Marie had sent


    her that on purpose when she was in his bed.


    That night when he was at the hotel and on the phone with her, someone had knocked on his door.


    After that, he turned off his phone and did not respond to her all day. He had probably been with Marie


    too...


    Bianca did not listen to the rest of their conversation.


    She hung up and sent Nelly a message of thanks before returning to the room.


    Bianca''s seat was right next to Luke''s, and she could not ask to change ces in front of everyone


    here, no matter how awkward she felt.


    Sue was sitting next to Bianca. When she saw Bianca return, she lifted her chin to gesture at the waiter


    to fill Bianca''s ss with red wine. 1


    The waiter walked up to Bianca.


    She epted the wine and heard Sue proim loudly, "Bianca, how could you leave for a call and stay


    out there for so long? C''mon, toast to our bosses as an apology."


    A ss of red wine was fine. It would not kill her to drink it.


    Bianca walked over to them and then gave them an apologetic toast before draining her ss.


    After that, another waiter came to them and filled everyone''s sses.

    Bianca looked at the dark red liquid in her ss, feeling a little dizzy. She had chugged that ss too


    quickly.


    She did not even know how much alcohol was in the wine.


    The waiter left after filling their sses.


    Bianca held her ss and was about to take her seat when she suddenly tripped on something. Her


    body tilted and fell toward the left, her wine spilling onto...


    Sue subtly pulled her heel back after she had purposely tripped Bianca over. She then stood up,


    saying, "Why are you just standing there, Bianca? Hurry up and help Mr. Crawford wipe the wine off!"
