Chapter 550 Luke the Ace Student Is Being Considerate
Bianca looked carefully. Those "test papers' were A1-sized. They were a lot bigger than A4-sized paper.
There were no grids or lines on those pieces of paper, but it was filled with neat handwriting.
The handwriting was powerful and fluid, and it looked as though it was printed.
"These are the main points and topics of the architect certification test. I believe that you'll be tested on these topics, so I did a summary for you. You'll definitely pass." Luke's resonant voice rang in Bianca's ears.
He was confident of her passing the test.
Bianca took those pieces of paper and glanced at them. The topics covered Engineering Economics and Engineering Management, which were the papers she would be sitting for tomorrow. All the main topics were succinctly covered, and it was even better than the notes from college professors. She understood everything at a glance.
Bianca knew that Luke had always been an ace student. It was a good thing that an ace student was helping her.
She did not expect that the man would be so meticulous. Not only did he summarize the topics for her, but he also included swords of encouragement in a corner.
Bianca thought that the man was very kind to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe knew that Luke was busy with company work every day, but he had taken the tout to prepare notes for her.
She could imagine the man's fountain pen dancing on the paper as he summarized the topics.
At that moment, she was extremely moved, but she knew that Luke did not want her to thank him.
"I'll do my best in the test, and I'll definitely ace it!" She said seriously.
Luke patted her head as though petting an obedient cat. "Good girl. I'll wait for your good news."
Mavis stood straight. Through a crack in the door, she looked at the extremely handsman pouring his affection on Bianca Rayne.
Her gaze on Bianca beceven more resentful.
Back at her office, Mavis asked Bella to make her a cup of coffee.
There was no milk or sugar in the coffee. She took a few gulps, and the intense bitterness made her calm and aware.
"Is there something on your mind, Ms. Laviere? Is it because of Mr. Crawford?" Bella did not leave the office after delivering the coffee.
She was a very astute person. Otherwise, she would not have been able to reach the position of department lead.
Mavis put the coffee cup heavily on the table. She seemed unhappy. "Ms. Sloan, if you'd pay more attention to your work instead of your superior's mood, you wouldn't be only a department lead by now."
Bella was not embarrassed by Mavis's rebuke. She knew that her superior was in a bad mood.
In fact, when Bianca appeared in T Corporation, Bella could sense that Mavis was unhappy about it.
She braced herself and said, "I hope you don't mindbeing forward, Ms. Laviere. You've had a crush on Mr. Crawford for a long time, and everyone can see your affection toward him. Don't you feel wronged when Bianca overtakes you? To be frank, everyone in T Corporation was expecting you to be the future Mrs. Crawford. Ever since Bianca Rayne appeared, the boss seemed to be charmed by that seductress. If you don't act soon, she will claim the boss's heart forever... Do you want things to end that way, Ms. Laviere?” 1 "The woman he loves is Bianca Rayne. He doesn't know about my feelings for him." Mavis closed her eyes in agony.
Of course, she did not want that to happen!
There was nothing crueler than seeing the man she loved being intimate with another woman and pouring all his affection on her.
Mavis was sure that Luke knew that she loved him. However, he had never reciprocated that love. Even when they were having dinner together, he had never talked to her about anything outside of work.
She loved him for a whole ten years.
How long was ten years?
Ten years ago, she was a fresh-faced girl full of hope and dreams of love. Now, she was a forceful, assertive, and domineering woman in the business world. She had lost count of the number of fearful, painful, and sorrowful experiences she had been through. 2
The only thing she knew was that she loved Luke Crawford more and more.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo her, Luke Crawford was like an inescapable curse.
Many outstanding men had declared their love for her and had even obsessively courted her because of her outstanding capabilities and family background. However, she had rejected them all.
To Mavis, they could not compare even to Luke's pinky finger, even if that man had never shown her any affection.
To love and not be loved.
Perhaps that was a woman's greatest sorrow.
The most painful thing in love was to love someone but not receive a shred of affection in return.
"Ms. Laviere, you've been working for Mr. Crawford for many years, and you should understand him well. Considering that he allowed you to stay by his side for so long, it means that he appreciates you being around. Mr.
Crawford doesn't like women taking the initiative, but that's only relative. Look at that Bianca Rayne. She's a slick one. She plays hard to get, and that's how she manages to seduce the boss. You should know what kind of person Bianca Rayne is. She might look pure and virtuous, but she had a wicked heart. Most importantly, how can her looks compare to yours?" Bella showered Mavis with flattery while belittling Bianca. 2 "Am I... beautiful?" Luke had always been indifferent about her appearance, which made the usually prideful Mavis unconfident. 1 "There's no one more beautiful in T Corporation than you, Ms. Laviere!" Bella praised exaggeratedly. "Outer beauty is important, but Mr. Crawford loves inner beauty even more! Mr. Crawford is qualified to get any woman he wants. Why does he only love Bianca Rayne? It's because she knows how to fake it!" 1
Bella's expression beccontemptuous whenever Bianca Rayne was mentioned.
Needless to say, she was jealous of Bianca. She was jealous that the male employees had looked at Bianca instead of her. She was jealous that Bianca could join the collaboration project even though she
was new to the company. She was jealous that the CEO loved Bianca alone. She was even more jealous that Louis Crawford was nice to Bianca! 1
Mavis sunk into deep thought.
She was obsessed by Luke's extraordinary looks and charming smile.
"Bianca will be taking her certification test tomorrow, and I don't want it to be smooth-sailing for her. Do you understand what I mean, Ms. Sloan? Oh... the deputy general manager in the design department has just applied to be transferred, and the position will be vacated in a few days."
Mavis sipped her coffee and resumed her usual indifferent expression. Her tone of voice when she spoke to Bella was formal and aloof. 1
