SWNOVELS Chapter 11 Her Husband’s Clothes
Bianca went back upstairs.
The cleaner lady was tidying up her room.
Bianca nodded at the cleaner politely and then walked to her closet, opening it and taking out one set of the clothes she had
ironed last night. After that, she went to the bathroom to change into it.
The cleaner worked very quickly.
By the time Bianca was done washing her face, the room had been wiped more or less clean of every trace of Luke Crawford.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
Ten minutes ago, Jean had sent her a message. “Bianca, my team is done with the project. I’ll go to H City in the afternoon and
visit you at your hotel. We get the day off tomorrow.”
Bianca had replied with, “Sounds good. I’ll send you the hotel address.”
For some reason, as she looked around the room Luke Crawford had spent the entire night in, she felt a little guilty.
When the cleaner was done with her cleaning, she found Bianca staring at the bathroom, frowning and distracted.
“I’m done,” the cleaner said with a smile, holding a garbage bag as she stood at the door.
Bianca hurriedly came back to her senses. “Thank you so much.”
The cleaner added. “I put the used underwear in the small drawer in the closet too.”
“Underwear?” Bianca was confused.
She did not recall throwing aside her used lingerie like that.
“The men’s underwear. It’s your husband’s, right? I found it in the laundry basket in the bathroom!”
The cleaner informed her with a smile before turning around and leaving the room.
Bianca was stunned.
Men’s underwear? Her husband...?
Her face was bright red as she took a few breaths and pursed her lips. Her head felt hot, and she did not know how to handle
this underwear.
She could not just return it, could she?
Forget it... It was probably best to toss it.
It was not like her boss would miss a single pair of underwear like that.
Bianca shook her head. Seriously, what was she thinking?
Thankfully, that was when her phone rang.
The caller was Sue Carter.
“Hey, Sue,” Bianca picked up and replied.
“Have you eaten, Bianca? Remember to eat if you haven’t. We’ll meet downstairs at ten after breakfast. There’s a meeting that
you should attend too.”
“Alright. See you downstairs at ten.” Bianca had been worried that she would be relegated to babysitting duty again today.
She was very fond of Lanie and Rainie, yes, but work was still work.
Since she was receiving a salary from T Corporation, she wanted to be able to contribute her part to the company accordingly. At
the same time, she wanted to learn and better herself.
That was what her father always wanted for her too!
When she thought of her father, Bianca’s expression suddenly darkened.
Jennifer Lee was quite beautiful, and this was despite the fact that she was almost fifty years old now. She must have been
veritably gorgeous when she was younger.
Bianca’s father really loved his second wife deeply.
Now, he was pouring all of his heart and soul into Jennifer’s wellbeing.
Bianca felt a little lost. Her memories of her childhood told her that he had loved her mother deeply too, and that was why he had
drowned his sorrows in alcohol after she left. His slump had lasted eight whole years.
When he lost her mother, it was as though he had lost his will to keep living.
...
At ten o’clock.
Bianca went downstairs.
“Get into the car,” Sue told Bianca.
Those in their line of work tended to dress simply and professionally.
Bianca was dressed similarly to Sue. She had a formal outfit, wearing a plain-colored top with two open buttons and an A-line
skirt. It made her look smart without obscuring her feminine gentleness.
This time, they took two cars to the meeting.
Sue and Bianca took the car in the front, while Luke and Tom took the luxury vehicle at the back.
“Why isn’t Mr. Doyle coming with us?” Bianca was not very familiar with these things, so she had to ask while she had the
chance. “What are we supposed to do when we get there, Sue?”
“Mr. Doyle is taking the boss’ kids to the Ferris wheel,” Sue said to Bianca without holding back any information. “You don’t have
to do anything when you get there. Just listen carefully. Right now, your main job is to learn.”
“Okay.” Bianca nodded.
They arrived at the hotel.
The famous hotel had attendants providing great service in every aspect. The meeting was to be held on the 99th floor.
This was Bianca’s first time attending a face-to-face business meeting. When successful men shook hands firmly and solemnly, it
was indeed quite charming and eye-catching, especially to women.
Luke Crawford looked like a completely different person when he was negotiating a contract.
That man could handle any problem with ease. No matter how accomplished his opposite counterpart was, he could carry
himself in a way that won their respect.
Bianca listened in on the whole thing, making sure not to lose focus.
Eventually, Director Shaw, who was sitting on the right, looked at Luke and smiled brightly, his wrinkles showing all over his face.
He said, “My darling daughter insisted on following me here, and she even pressured me into making a promise. See, she wants
me to persuade you to bring her around A City for a bit, and she said she would disown me as her father if I can’t get it done!
What do you say, Luke? I’ve totally spoiled my daughter, haven’t I?”
Just like all the other bit characters at the conference table, Bianca kept her expression carefully blank.
Anyone could tell that the topic had wandered into the boss’ private matters.
...
It was half-past one in the afternoon when they left the renowned hotel.
Bianca took her laptop with her as she got into the car.
Sue followed suit.
Outside the hotel entrance, Director Shaw and his beloved daughter were shaking hands with Luke, bidding him goodbye.
“Do you see that? That Director Shaw wants to have his daughter marry the Crawfords,” Sue said with a laugh.
Bianca did not know how to respond to that, so she said vaguely, “If it really works out, I wonder if Director Shaw’s daughter
would be marrying below or above her station.”
That was actually quite hard to tell.
Sue chatted with Bianca casually, saying, “It looks to me like Director Shaw and his daughter are the only ones into this idea for
now. No one can really tell what Mr. Crawford’s thinking. If you ask me, any woman that Mr. Crawford doesn’t personally intend
to marry would be trying above her station. Doesn’t even matter if she’s the Jade Emperor’s daughter—”
True, that did make sense.
Bianca raised her head and gave Director Shaw’s daughter a nonchalant look. She thought to herself calmly, ‘If the boss is
willing to marry her, then that woman will become Lanie and Rainie’s mom.’
