Chapter 282 Some Men Are Ridiculously Elegant...
Leia ced the sk of chicken soup on the table and called out gently, ’ Mr. Crawford."
Her mother had said that the fastest way to a man''s heart was through his stomach.
Of course, Leia did not know how to fry an egg, let alone make chicken soup. However, Queenie, her
adopted mother, was a good cook.
Luke turned around. The female celebrity was dazzled by his impable facial features.
Undeniably, Luke was a very handsome man. He was handsome not only because of his sculpted face
but also because of his mature character.
Luke might look young, but he carried the dominating and enigmatic deportment of a king.
That must have been the culmination of many years of experience in the harsh battlefield of the
business world.
''Mr. Crawford, I''d like to discuss with you about our coboration. Right, I''ve also brought some chicken
soup for you. I hope you''ll like it," Leia said.
Luke frowned slightly. "Thank you, Ms. Norman. I''m sorry, I''ve already had breakfast, so you shouldn''t
have done so much for me. Mr. Doyle, my assistant, will contact you about the details for our
coboration. You don''t have to worry," he said coldly.
When she saw that Luke was acting so coldly toward her, Leia felt ufortable as though she had a
bone stuck in her throat.
She nced at the stacks of documents on Luke''s table and cautiously asked, "Did I disturb your work,
Mr. Crawford?"
Leia would sometimes feel inferior about her status, despite her father being an important politician.
After all, she was only a girl who was raised in an orphanage, and not Jack and Queenie''s birth
daughter.
There was a possibility that their birth daughter might be alive, and she would one day return to rece
Leia''s position in the family.
She needed to find some insurance for the rest of her life, in case the real Ms. Norman returned to the
family. Even if Jack and Queenie would abandon her in the future, she would still be able to enjoy the
high life without any worries.
So what if Luke had two children?
Many beautiful and famous female celebrities married wealthy husbands, even though they made
enough money to support themselves.
Leia thought that it was a wise decision.
A woman''s youth and beauty could onlyst for so long.
Many young talents entered the industry every year. Once a celebrity grew old, how would they
compete against those who were younger and more beautiful?
It was indeed a prudent choice to get hitched to a capable and wealthy man at the peak of her career.
The man in front of her checked every box in her list of requirements.
However, the man was too enigmatic. She could not understand him. Was it because he was born
aloof, or was he nurtured to behave that way?
Luke seemed to have seen Bianca from Leia''s dejected expression. He seemed to have understood
something...
"No." His icy voice seemed to have warmed up by a little.
Leia was ecstatic when she heard that his voice had be gentler. Her gaze was brimming with
admiration. "Mr. Crawford, my father has been talking about you since that dinner. I wonder if you
would be free toe over to visit our house?" She ventured.
Luke remained indifferent. "I''ve been busy recently. When I have less work, I will find the time to may
Mr. Norman a visit." 2
Leia smiled sweetly as though honey dripped from her lips. She handed a name card to Luke. "That
decides it. You can call me anytime you''re free, Mr. Crawford. This is my personal number."
Luke took the name card without showing any expression.
Leia felt even happier, though the smile on her face remained proper. "I won''t take up any more of your
precious time then. See you soon.’
She knew that she had to be patient in winning the man''s heart. Seeding on her first attempt would
be impossible.
She wanted to pique his curiosity, then lure him in with her charm.
Leia''s movements were natural, and her mannerisms were impable, the sure signs of a wealthy
upbringing. Somehow, Luke thought that she was pretentious.
He had seen so many women like her, and he had detested every one of them.
However, he did not say anything to Leia because of her father.
After the celebrity left the office, Luke smiled coldly, then tossed the gold- stamped card into the trash
without hesitation...
Leia calmly stepped out of the office. Once the door closed behind her, she shed her pretense.
The floor cked as she stepped on it excitedly with her high heels. Her smile bloomed like a flower,
and she could not help it but shriek in excitement!
The elevator doors opened, and she walked into it. At the moment before the doors closedpletely,
she seemed to notice a beautiful figure dressed in all white at the corner of the corridor.
That figure seemed familiar, though her long, ck hair covered her face and could not be seen
clearly...
Leia guessed that it might have been just a regr female employee. She did not have to worry about
it.
However, she nheless felt uneasy when she saw her beautiful figure.
Perhaps when she became Mrs. Crawford, she would have to get rid of all the good-looking female
employees in thepany...
Leia wore sunsses, and Bianca could not discern her expression.
However, she did notice Leia''s lips that were curled upward.
Bianca wondered what Luke had said to her that made her happy. Was it something personal between
them?
She dashed her nonsensical thoughts and knocked on the door.
"Come in." The man''s voice was crisp and resonant.
Bianca opened the door and immediately choked on smoke. She frowned as she looked at the source
of the smoke.
The unbelievably handsome man sat casually on his leather chair. Between his finger was a cigar with
a glowing tip.

The color of the cigar was a pale green, like a budding tobo leaf. The scent of the smoke was
refreshing like soil after the rain. It suited Luke''s temperament very well. At that moment, Bianca
thought that Luke seemed like a mmable work of art...
