Chapter 283 I''m "Luke" To You In Bed, But We''re Strangers Now? i


    Luke shot a nce at Bianca. She was impably dressed in a fitting set of women''s clothes. Her


    slender and fair legs were exposed beneath the skirt.


    Her hair fell on her shoulders and back like a waterfall. Her face was delicate and clean, her eyes were


    like stars, and her lips were adorned by a faint coat of lipstick. The silk scarf gave her a unique charm,


    though he knew that she wore it to hide the marks on her neck.


    Her elegance was like a cherry tree in full bloom, i


    Luke felt his lower abdomen pulsating enthusiastically when he was reminded of Bianca''s exquisite


    performance the night before.


    However, his gaze turned cold, and he pressed his lips when he thought of the woman''s silly actions.


    Bianca was fearful when she looked at him. She dared not breathe too loudly, in case she somehow


    angered him and he refused to save Nina.


    Bianca cleared her throat and ced the document on his table. "These are the documents you


    requested, Mr. Crawford."


    She felt bitterness in her heart when she smelled the tantalizing scent of chicken soup wafting from the


    sk.


    ''Has that Leia woman gotten so close to him? She even brought him chicken soup...'' "Why, you call me


    Luke in bed, but suddenly we''re strangers now?" Luke''s anger mounted when he saw that Bianca was


    trying to avoid him.


    Bianca was surprised by those words. She stared at his handsome face and reminded him, "We''re at


    work now. You''ve always been impartial, Mr. Crawford. I don''t think you want to bring your personal life


    into your work."


    Luke narrowed his eyes, and they shed with hostility. "Do you know what you are talking about,


    Bianca Rayne?"


    Bianca had known him for a while, and she could guess with decent uracy about his current mood.


    She knew that he was about to lose his temper, even though she did not know why that was the case.


    She sighed and decided to bring in the main topic. "I don''t want to argue with you, and we can settle


    whatever''s between us at ater time. I only want to request one thing from you..."


    The surroundings suddenly turned eerily quiet. Bianca felt as though she could not breathe.


    Luke took a drag of his cigar. "What is it?" He asked coldly.


    Bianca bit her lower lip so hard that it was almost bleeding. "Please... save Nina..."


    Luke red at her coldly.


    A stray hair was resting on his forehead, which added a hint of disorder to hisposed maturity.


    He tapped the cigar on the tray and continued to speak with a tinge of mockery in his tone. "If you hate


    me that much, then why do you ask me for favors? Are you that miserable when you''re with me,


    Bianca?"


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Luke was unhappy when he saw how Bianca had been avoiding him.


    He was used to her relying on him and clinging to him. He was not used to Bianca''s distance.


    He knew that he should not have said those words to Bianca, but he could not control himself because


    of his anger...


    Bianca kneaded her hands and clenched her fists. "Even if you don''t want to do it for me, please save


    Nina on the consideration that she is an employee of T Corporation. Xavier''s men took her away


    because of me. He had threatened me by getting his men to vite her if I didn''t... sleep with him. He


    sent me many photos and videos of Nina. Seeing her in despair, I had no other choice... She''s my best


    friend, and she got into this mess because of me. I can''t bear to see her suffer."


    Bianca''s tears fell uncontrobly.


    She covered her mouth, not willing to lose control of her emotions in front of him, but her tears


    continued to fall.


    ''That''s why you yielded to Xavier''s threat?" Luke stubbed out the cigar and stood from his chair. His


    gaze on Bianca was like a wild beast on the verge of a rampage.


    Bianca took a deep breath and clenched her fists. "Yes."


    Luke''s fist mmed onto the office table. The stacks of documents fell to the floor.


    He tried to control his emotions, but his words remained harsh. '' Have you lost your mind? Do you think


    that you can solve the problem by going there alone? What can''t that scoundrel do? Should I say that


    you''re brave or stupid? Can''t you call me for help?" i


    Biancaughed drily and said, "Don''t you think that I will call you for help? I couldn''t reach you. Your


    phone was switched off... I was losing my mind, but I can''t contact you. Don''t you know how fearful and


    desperate I was? Nina is my best friend, and I was running out of time. How could I ignore her?" ''What


    about the police?" "Xavier threatened me, saying that I''ll see Nina in a bodybag if I call the police...


    "I can''t leave Nina alone in danger. What else can I do? I had to take the gamble..."


    Luke suddenly remembered that when he got off the ne and turned on his phone, he noticed many


    missed calls from Bianca. He thought that she missed her and did not worry too much about it. 1


    He realized that Bianca had tried to call him for help, but what did he do?


    Not only did he not believe her, but he had mistaken her intentions when he saw Bianca in bed with


    Xavier. His heart was wracked with guilt and pity.


    "I''m sorry. I... I didn''t know about that." Luke stepped in front of Bianca and looked earnestly into her


    eyes. Tentatively, he reached behind Bianca and brought her delicate body into his embrace.


    She was painfully thin. The man''s lips kissed her eyshes and continually apologized to her.


    Bianca shoved him away.


    She was disappointed by what happenedst night and how he had treated her.


    "Nina is still in Pierre Mallory’s hands, and I don''t know her current situation. I hope that you can save


    her as quickly as possible, Mr. Crawford. I will forever be in gratitude," she said coldly.


    Then, Bianca turned around and walked out of the office.


    Luke''s gaze was wracked with guilt and wistfulness as he watched Bianca leave the office. He


    clenched his fists and punched the office table again. Blood seeped out from the broken skin, but he


    did not feel pain at all. 1


    He pressed a button on his office phone and summoned Jason.
