Chapter 549 Luke Could Feel His Urges re...


    T Corporation.


    Bianca''s daily life had been smooth-sailing. She did not encounter any obstacles at work or at home.


    She had discussed with Luke, and they decided to get their marriage certificate from the Civil Registry


    Office at the end of the month.


    Bianca was especially happy every time she remembered that she would be Luke’s legally married wife


    soon.


    "Ms. Rayne..." Mavis''s impassive voice resounded in the conference room.


    Mavis was ring unhappily at the daydreaming Bianca. A hint of disgust shed past her eyes.


    Nina pinched Bianca heavily!


    Bianca suddenly came to her senses and focused on her surroundings!


    She looked down the long conference table and noticed that all her colleagues were looking at her,


    including her boss Luke Crawford.


    Embarrassedly, Bianca smoothed her hair and sat up straight. "Yes, Ms. Laviere?"


    Bianca looked at Luke. He was sitting up straight in his seat with a serious expression on his face. To


    everyone else, he was stern and impassive, the total opposite of that passionate man in bed.


    Luke usually would not show up at the weekly meeting of the design department. However, it was only


    a week away from the end of the month, when they would have a joint meeting with Vivi Group and


    monthly updates from each of the subsidiarypanies. Given Luke''s unpredictable personality, no


    one thought that it was surprising that he was sitting in the meeting.


    Bianca''s rtionship with the boss was an open secret. No one said anything in the open, but they


    looked at Bianca with different sentiments, especially the women, who were envious.


    Meanwhile, they looked at Mavis, who thought that she would eventually be Mrs. Crawford, with


    some mockery.


    Mavis knew that very well.


    Even though her colleagues respected and feared her, she could see the sympathy and schadenfreude


    in their eyes.


    Mavis''s gaze fell disdainfully on Bianca''s bulging stomach. "Are you feeling listlesstely, Ms. Rayne?


    You seem tired." "I''m not..." Bianca could sense the disdain in Mavis''s gaze. She stopped herself mid-


    sentence.


    Mavis leaned back on her chair and smiled superficially. "You seem to be in low spirits, Ms. Rayne. Did


    you not sleep wellst night? You''re pregnant now, and it''s normal for a pregnant woman to require


    more rest. If you can''t take it, you can request a long leave of absence from thepany. That way,


    you''ll have enough time to rest, and you won''t hamper the progress of the project.’


    Mavis''s suggestion might sound as though she genuinely cared for Bianca, but Bianca could see that


    the smile on her face was only superficial.


    Of course, Bianca could understand the implications of her words too.


    Mavis was saying that her pregnancy made her a burden to the progress of the project.


    She was about to exin herself when Luke''s resonant voice echoed in the conference room. "She


    had a good restst night, but she has been preparing for the architect certification test, and so it''s not


    surprising if she''s feeling the pressure. I believe that Ms. Rayne''s work capabilities will not disappoint."


    The employees from the design department were surprised when they heard the CEO speak.


    They did not expect that the CEO would speak up for Bianca...


    Mr. Crawford said that Bianca had a good restst night. Did that mean that they were together in bed


    the night before?

    Bianca was reminded of the embarrassing things that they did in bed.


    She was on top, and he was at the bottom...


    Her petite face blushed when she recalled the most intimate scenes.


    Luke''s eyes narrowed. Bianca was dressed in a set of ck clothes specially designed for pregnant


    women. It looked quite conservative.


    However, her erged chest was pushing against the white shirt she wore beneath, and the buttons


    were in danger of bursting. With her slightly blushing face, she seemed especially charming.


    Luke could feel his urges re up.


    He abruptly took a big gulp of his tea to calm himself down, at the same time making a mental note to


    the fashion design department to redesign the office wear for pregnant women. The new design should


    be loose enough to hide the chest too.


    Mavis was especially embarrassed.


    Luke had spoken up for Bianca in public. That had intensified the feelings of agony she was currently


    experiencing!


    She managed to hide her true emotions from the other people, except for Bianca, who was especially


    observant.


    The meeting continued for another half an hour, during which each employee reported on the progress


    of their work.


    After Mavis made a brief conclusion and Luke gave the signal, she breathed a sigh of relief and


    announced, "Meeting dismissed."


    The employees of the design department quickly stood up from their seats, efficiently packed up their


    files and notes, then left in an orderly manner.


    Every employee in T Corporation was busy with work, especially those in the design department. They


    wished that they had more than twenty-four hours a day for work.


    After all, in the rapidly developing society, it was too easy to be left behind.


    Bianca knew that Luke would be on a business trip to another city tomorrow. She deliberately packed


    up her belongings slowly.


    She remained in the conference room, even though she, Luke, and Mavis were the only three people


    left.


    Mavis nced resentfully at Bianca, then sneaked a peek at Luke. She noticed that their gazes were


    transfixed on each other, as though they were the only two people left in the world and she was but a


    nuisance. That made her extremely ufortable.


    Mavis did not want to give Bianca the chance to be alone with Luke.


    However, when she sensed that the boss was ncing at her with an icy gaze, she shuddered and


    sheepishly went away.


    Right after she left, Luke''s cold demeanor instantly melted into a gentle and indulgent one.


    He waved at Bianca, then patted his thigh. ’’Come here, Bea."


    Bianca went over.


    She suddenly remembered her certification test tomorrow, and she said uneasily, "Do you think that I


    can pass the test tomorrow?"


    She had been studying hard, but she had to pass four subjects to obtain her certification. Each subject


    covered a vast area of knowledge, and the test itself was quiteplicated. She was confident that


    she would pass, but she was nheless worried.


    That was why she only applied for two papers.


    "Don''t worry. You''re smart, and I''m sure that you''ll pass with flying colors." Luke smiled gently, as


    though he was saying that there was nothing his woman could not do.


    Bianca felt a little dejected when she remembered that Luke had passed all the papers at one go.


    She was only a rookie whenpared to that prodigy.


    While Bianca was secretly denigrating Luke''s inhuman intelligence, Luke suddenly retrieved something


    that looked like test papers from under his notebook.


    Bianca''s mouth opened wide in shock when she saw those "test papers."


    Did Luke somehow manage to obtain the test papers for the certification test for her?
