Chapter 806 Bumped Into A Disgusting Scene


    Luke picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. He frowned when he tasted the sweetness.


    That was not what he usually drank.


    He put the cup down after taking only one sip.


    The steam that rose from the cup and the sweetness of the aroma gave off an inexplicably eerie


    atmosphere.


    He gently closed his eyes and massaged his temples as he thought of the various things that troubled


    him. After resting for a while, he took out his phone and noticed several missed call notifications and


    messages. They were all from Bianca.


    Luke felt a lot more relieved when he saw that.


    He pressed a button to ess his voicemail, and Bianca''s soft and gentle voice entered his ears.


    "Remember to take a short rest when you''re feeling tired, Luke. Please don''t overwork yourself. I''ve


    made some soup for you. Should I send it over to your office?"


    Luke quickly typed a reply. [It''s fine. It''s not very safe here. You should stay at home and look after the


    children. Don’t go anywhere. Just ce the soup in a sk, and I''ll eat it when I get back.]


    A few secondster, his phone vibrated when it received a reply. [Alright,e home soon. The kids


    and I are waiting for you.]


    A gentle smile appeared on Luke''s face when he read the message.


    No matter how tired he might be, his home was always his safe haven.


    Suddenly, his nose was assailed by an unknown stench. He took a whiff of his clothes and realized that


    he had not taken a bath for a few days because he had been too busy.


    He was a clean freak and could not withstand the stench, so he went to the lounge next door and


    prepared to take a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes.


    Mavis came in through the door on her high heels, carrying a thick stack of documents.


    She looked around and did not see anyone in the office or on the balcony, so she put the documents


    on Luke''s desk.


    She heard the sounds of watering from the lounge. Stealthily, she tiptoed next to the door and


    pressed her ear on it.


    Luke was taking a shower inside.


    She was reminded about how Luke was always dressed impably, as though he were a walking


    disy rack. She could not help but fantasize how muscr and seductive his body was when he was


    not in his usual suit...


    What a wonderful feeling it would be if those toned muscles pressed on her body?


    While she was indulging in her thoughts, the door to the CEO''s office creaked open.


    Tina, dressed in a white dress suit, came in through the door with several contracts in her hand.


    She was surprised when she saw Mavis standing next to the door to the lounge with one ear stuck to it,


    but she soon understood what was going on. She ced the contracts on Luke''s desk and greeted


    Mavis.


    "Isn''t the CEO around, Ms. Laviere? What are you doing here?" There was a hint of coldness in Tina''s


    voice.


    Mavis felt as though she had been caught in the act.


    That feeling onlysted for half a second before she resumed her usual iciness. "Nothing. I was


    delivering some documents to Mr. Crawford, and I was wondering if he''s not around." "Oh, is that so?"


    Tina nced at Mavis. She sounded impassive, but the suspicion in her eyes was evident.


    As a woman and Luke''s most trusted secretary, she was observant and shrewd, and she could tell that


    Mavis bore certain affections for their boss.


    However, she could not understand certain things.


    Ms. Laviere had worked for Mr. Crawford for more than ten years. Before Mr. Crawford married Ms.


    Rayne, she had plenty of opportunities to confess her love to Mr. Crawford, but she did not act on it.


    Instead, she had kept her feelings secret and made it clear that she was only a subordinate.


    Now, Mr. Crawford was married to Ms. Rayne. They might not have had a grand wedding ceremony,


    but the paperwork was done, and they were legally husband and wife.


    It was at this time that Mavis''s affections sprouted like beans that had been buried in the soil thus far.


    Tina could not agree to that.


    Tina would have been impressed by Mavis''s courage if she had confessed her love while Mr. Crawford


    was still single. However, Mr. Crawford was already married, so what could Mavis possibly do?


    Tina even noticed Mavis''s expression while she was eavesdropping on Luke taking a shower. It was


    obvious that Mavis was indulging in perverted fantasies.


    Tina''s impression of Mavis plummeted instantly. She was even disgusted by what she saw.


    She took a deep breath and said coldly, "Ms. Laviere, since the CEO isn''t in, we shoulde another


    time."


    Tina deftly arranged the documents on Luke''s desk. She deliberately picked up Luke''s family photo


    with his wife and three children and waved it in front of Mavis''s face.


    "You should know that our CEO is already married. Look at his happy family. As his subordinates, we


    shouldn''t overstep our boundaries," Tina reminded Mavis.


    Mavis was angered. She red at Tina and said, "I don''t know what you''re talking about, Tina. I''m only


    looking for Luke for work. Do you think that I have some other ulterior motive? Please don''t impose


    your impure thoughts on me."


    Tina stared unblinkingly at Mavis. "I don''t think that I have to spell it out for you, Ms. Laviere. You


    should know very well what I''m talking about, but let me remind you again, you''d better not covet


    certain things that you''re not meant to possess. I wouldn''t want to see you get into trouble."


    Mavis''s expression sank instantly.


    She was about to give her retort when she heard the lounge door open.


    Luke stepped out of the lounge dressed in ck casual clothes. His short hair was still dripping with


    water, and several stray strands clung to his handsome face. Those sculpted features were as sharp as


    a sword. He looked so sexy...


    Mavis and Tina could not help but gulp; the former out of obsession, while thetter out of appreciation.

    Naturally, Luke noticed the two women in the office.


    They were his best subordinates. Even though they worked in different departments, they excelled at


    what they did. However, he frowned when he saw that they were looking at each other with hostility...
