Chapter 260 You’re Just His ything When He''s Bored "Do you have something on your mind, Ms.


    Laviere? Or are you not used to the local weather?" Luke asked curiously.


    "I think I''m still not used to the weather here. I''ll try to adjust myself so that I can be at my optimal


    condition," Mavis said coldly.


    Luke nodded. "Mm. I''ve always believed in your capabilities, Ms. Laviere.


    You can keep the document here. Well discuss it in detail tomorrow." "Alright." Mavis turned around and


    left.


    Luke nodded in satisfaction.


    That was Mavis for him. In front of him, she had been distant and aloof, as though she desired nothing,


    and no earthly temptation could move her.


    That was what Luke liked the most about Mavis.


    She was capable, professional, and not bothered by personal matters. Those were the qualities of a


    perfect worker.


    "Ms. Laviere," Luke called out her name right when she was opening the door.


    Mavis stopped walking. With her face turned away from Luke, she smiled smugly.


    She turned around and resumed her usual, aloof expression. ’Is there anything else, Mr. Crawford?"


    "You''ve been working hardtely. The subsidiarypany in Argentina under your lead has recorded


    several percentage points in growth. If you want a reward, you can have cash or stocks. Well talk about


    it at dinner after work." "Alright." Mavis maintained her indifference.


    Once she stepped out of the office, her smile bloomed like a flower.


    She knew how to control her emotions, knowing that the man she loved was not fond of women who


    pestered him.


    So many women had fallen at Luke’s feet over the years, but he had rejected all of them.


    She was the only woman who could stay by Luke’s side for so long.


    The workday ended at six o''clock.


    In the design department, Bianca was friends with Sue and Nina. She was not too close with the other


    colleagues.


    Sue waved at them and left the office first, while Nina held Bianca''s hand and the two women left the


    office together.


    As they walked, Nina told Bianca about the gossip while Bianca was away from the office.


    "Do you know that a male employee from the finance department embezzled a few hundred thousand


    dors just so that he could pay a camgirl? He was arrested the other day...


    "There''s a man from the marketing department who looks dependable, but he was actually two-timing


    and his girlfriends found out...


    "A girl from the PR department was flirting with another guy, and her boyfriend beat her when he found


    out..."


    Bianca was not in the mood for gossip, so she quickly forgot about what she heard.


    At thepany entrance, she saw Luke''s ck Bentley drive past them.


    The window was rolled down. Bianca could see Luke sitting inside, but he did not seem to notice her.


    Mavis was sitting in the side passenger seat.


    A gust of wind blew past them. Bianca and Nina could smell a faint whiff of Chanel perfume from


    Mavis.


    Mavis sat there like a noble queen. When she noticed Bianca, her beautiful eyes shed with mockery


    and pride...


    Luke noticed Bianca in the rearview mirror.


    Suddenly, he had a strange thought. He wanted Mavis to get out of the car at that instant and ask


    Bianca to get in.


    It was the first time that he had a woman of his own. He did not know how to express himself.


    He shook his head and banished that thought. Nothing was going on between Mavis and him. She had


    brought profits to thepany, and he was buying dinner for her to reward her.


    Luke and Mavis were nothing more than a boss and his employee.


    He would exin that to Biancater.


    Bianca had always been understanding. She would know that business dinners were part of Luke''s job.


    The ck Bentley disappeared from Bianca and Nina''s view.


    Nina carefully turned her head and sneaked a peek at Bianca.


    She knew that Bianca was someone special to Luke. Now that they had seen Luke ride a car with


    another woman, Bianca must be thinking of something.


    "Are you OK, Bianca? Ms. Laviere has just returned from overseas. I believe Mr. Crawford is taking her


    out to dinner to celebrate her return. It''s nothing out of the ordinary," Nina said gently.


    Bianca turned away.


    She might pretend that she was unaffected, but she was nheless a woman and thus felt uneasy


    about the situation. However, she believed that she could trust Luke.


    She knew that Mavis was a capable and dependable employee, and it was reasonable that they went


    out for dinner.


    It was impossible for her not to be worried, but she chose to believe him.


    "It''s fine." Bianca suppressed her worries. "The bus ising. Let''s go."


    Not far away was a bustling public square.


    In the middle of the public square was a musical fountain.


    Past the public square was a bus station. She could take bus number 52 to go directly home.


    When Bianca started working, she had an extravagant thought. She wanted a car of her own so that


    she couldmute between home and work more easily. However, she did not have any savings, and


    she did not want to use the credit card that Luke had given her. She might feel beholden to him if she


    did.


    She would try to save up as much money as she could. With the year-end bonus, she should be able to


    afford an economical car.


    While they were traversing the public square, someone suddenly grasped Bianca''s arm!


    Bianca turned around to see. It was Xavier!


    "Why can''t you leave me alone, Xavier?" Her expression instantly sank.


    "I am your husband," Xavier said sternly. "I''m here to pick you up from work. What''s wrong with that?”


    Nina was vaguely aware of Bianca and Xavier’s rtionship. Seeing that Xavier was grabbing onto


    Bianca''s arm, she stepped in and reprimanded him. "I say, Xavier Tanner, aren''t you a shameless one?


    Bianca is a couple with Mr. Crawford, but you insist on stepping between them. Nobody likes that. Don''t


    you know?”

    Xavier turned his head to look at Nina. He looked as though he was a cobra baring his tongue.


    "You don''t have to work here anymore, my wife. Let me take care of you," Xavier said earnestly as he


    looked at the T Corporation building and something sinister shed in his eyes. "Look at your eyebags.


    Luke Crawford doesn''t know how to pamper you. Come home with me. HI take good care of you."


    Bianca pushed his hand away. "I''m very happy working here. Also, don''t ever call me your wife again.


    HI make sure that this forced marriage is over as soon as possible. Don''t evere and disturb me


    again!"


    She turned around and quickly walked to the bus station.


    Xavier stepped in front of Bianca and blocked her way. "I won''t divorce you, Bianca. Do you think that


    Luke Crawford really loves you? Tch... you don''t know that he has an affair going on with Mavis


    Laviere... You''re only nothing but a ything to him when he''s bored. Now that Mavis is back, do you


    think that hell want to be together with you?"


    Bianca could feel her heart clench when she heard those words...
