Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1686

When it was about time, Luke sent a car from the company to pick up Luca. At the stime, he informed Wanda that the car was on its way to the villa.

After she ate with Old Man Rayne, Luca glanced at the tand saw that it was getting late. She said, "Thank you for your hospitality but it's getting late. I have to head home."

Wanda quickly said, "Luca, leave a little later."

"No, I have sthings to attend to." Luca shook her head. She was satisfied being able to spend the entire day with her grandfather. She did not want to overstay her welcome.

Moreover, now that Old Man Rayne had finished eating, it was tfor him to rest. Her presence would only affect Old Man Rayne's rest.

After Wanda heard that Luca had something to do, she knew that it was not her place to ask her to stay. Hence, she said, "In that case, wait here for a little longer. Luke has arranged for a driver to come over. He should be here any moment now."

"Mr. Crawford arranged a driver for me?" Luca was stunned. She did not expect Luke to arrange a driver for her.

"Yeah. Don't let the driver cfor nothing. Don't worry, just sit down and wait for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to cut sfruits for us." Wanda persuaded Luca to stay for a while longer and walked to the kitchen.

Old Man Rayne was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He looked at Luca with a smile on his face and said, "Luca, your chess skills are not bad. Although you're still miles away compared to me, it's fun to play chess with you. Cover for dinner more often and play chess with an old man like me."

She could not bring herself to turn down Old Man Rayne's request. "Okay."

Wanda brought out the cut fruits from the kitchen. Just as she placed it on the coffee table, her phone rang. She glanced at it and said, "Luca, the car has already arrived at the community's entrance."

Luca heard her and stood up. "Okay, I'll head off now."

"Why don't you wait for the car to cin? I'll just let the security guard at the entrance know," Wanda suggested.

Luca turned her down. "Don't worry about it. It's just a few minutes away. I'll walk over. The food you made tonight was so delicious and I had so much. It's good forto walk it off."

Wanda reckoned that even if Luca left now, she would not bump into Marie and the others. She knew Marie well. Marie would not have the patience to wait at the entrance for the entire day.

"Okay, I'll walk you out," Wanda said.

The two left the house together and when they reached the entrance of the villa, Luca stopped and said, "Ms. Rayne, this is good enough."

"I'll walk you to the community's entrance." Wanda continued to walk.

Luca took her hand, shook her head, and said, "I'll just walk there by myself. Old Man Rayne's concoction should be ready soon. You'd better go back and watch it so as not to overcook it. Otherwise, the effects of the concoction will be affected."

As soon as Wanda heard that, she gave up on sending Luca off because Old Man Rayne's concoction was still simmering on the stove. "Okay. Be careful and pay more attention to your safety."

Luca was in a trance. She felt as if she had gone back to the past when her family would tell her all kinds of caring words before she went to school.

She left the villa, walked to the gate of the community, and saw the ostentatious but low-key Mercedes- Benz.

The Mercedes-Benz was low-key because the model was common in the area. There were always several such cars in this community. It was not the most luxurious car per se.

However, the license plate number was high-profile. Luca looked at the car plate and guessed that it was the car that Luke sent.

Before she walked over, the driver had already spotted her. He got out of the car and opened the door to the backseat for her. "Dr. Craw, I'm the driver Mr. Crawford sent to pick you up."

"Thank you." Luca got into the car.

The driver closed the door, returned to the driver's seat, and drove away.

Marie, who was standing on the opposite side of the road, saw Luca being picked up. She spat on the floor angrily. "Ugh! Someone picked her up at this time? Why is her life so easy?"

The man who stood there with her looked in the direction the car was leaving. His eyes narrowed as he said, "This woman... Are you sure you want to provoke her?"

"She's so rich. If we don't rob her, who else will we rob?" Marie's eyes were full of resentment. ‘How could a stranger enter the Rayne family's house but I'm turned away?'

"The car she got into is a Mercedes-Benz," the man said to remind her.

"What's wrong with a Mercedes? She can afford the gifts, so she can surely afford to sit in a Mercedes. Didn't you see that she took a taxi in the morning? Maybe this car is a rideshare." Marie said nonchalantly.

"That license plate is special. It doesn't look like she booked a ride. I'm afraid that you can't afford to mess with her," the man said.

"It's just a woman. Are you afraid of her?" Marie provoked the man.

Without the help of these men, she could not do anything to Luca. If she wanted to get money, she needed their help.

"Since you insist on making a move on that woman, we'll do it. Anyway, the whole thing is planned by you. We're just here to collect the money. If there's a problem, you'll bear the responsibility." The man managed her expectations and made it clear that whatever happened next would have nothing to do with him and his friends.

Marie was a little scared when she heard that they were washing their hands off the matter. However, she thought about her debts that she could not repay by herself and bit her lip. She agreed, saying, "Okay, I'll take all responsibility. I don't believe that she can make a fuss out of things."

Luca was sitting in the car, looking at the scene that kept going backward outside the car window. She could not help but ask, "Do you know why Mr. Crawford sent you to pickup?"

"I don't know. I'm just the driver," the driver replied.

When Luca heard that, she fell silent.

'Yeah, why would a driver know what Luke is thinking?' She asked because she was eager to know Luke's intention for doing this.

Luca shook her head, lowered it, and laughed at herself.

The car passed her apartment complex without stopping.

Luca was stunned. "Uh, why didn't you stop?"

"The boss' order is to send you to the office. We're not there yet," the driver replied.

"Sendto the office?" Luca was stunned. She looked out the window.

The car was on the way to T Corporation. However, when she thought of all the possible outcomes, she still clenched her phone. If things went awry, she would be ready to call the police at any time.

After a while, the car stopped in front of T Corporation.

The driver opened the door and said, "Dr. Craw, we're here."

Luca looked at the entrance of T Corporation. It seemed that Luke had indeed ordered the driver to send her to the office. He had been prohibiting her to cto work due to her recent injury, so she was curious as to why he asked the driver to bring her to T Corporation.

She asked the driver, "Am I supposed to go up?"

"Yes." The driver nodded.

Luca grabbed her things and got out of the car. Before she got in, the driver had already driven off.

It was no longer office hours but T Corporation was still brightly lit as though many were working overtime. She looked at the building, took a deep breath, and walked in.
