Chapter 1116
Chapter 1116 His Subordinate
Bianca bought sclothes and toys in the children's area before finding a restaurant to dine in.
She chose a central position to sit and enjoyed the looks of people around her. She was getting used to being Mrs. Crawford.
Bianca picked up the coffee that was served by the waiter earlier and took an elegant sip. She remembered what the man had told her.
He said that the boss had arranged for the woman to cback to A City. She was instructed to pay attention to the woman and observe her secretly. She had to record her every move and report it back to the Island of Despair through secret messages.
'Isn't it enough for Abel to haveundergo plastic surgery and sendto Luke? Why did he send the woman back? She's just going to get in my way.’
However, when she thought about how the woman had changed her appearance and did not pose a big threat to her, she becmore accepting of it. She picked up a tissue and wiped the coffee stain on the corner of her mouth. She smiled.
Bianca looked at the tand realized that Luke was about to get off work. She called him and asked him to pick her up from the mall.
Ivana, who was sitting in the corner, silently observed Bianca. She was here to eat, but unexpectedly, she bumped into Bianca who walked in with her tens of shopping bags. She was shocked.
'This must be the woman Abel placed beside Luke. She looks exactly the sas I used to look.'
Ivana's heart ached. She silently clenched her grip on the teacup and continued observing the woman. She acted very differently from how she acted in the past, but with amnesia as an excuse, Luke would not suspect a thing.
She thought back on the meeting between the two and felt as though her heart was cut open by a knife.
He was being accompanied by a woman who looked like her, while she had changed her face and even her identity. She was now merely his subordinate.

Ivana's heart ached so much that it made it hard to breathe.
The waiter brought her the meal that she ordered. Ivana had gotten his attention the moment she walked in because of her beauty. When he saw how pale Ivana's face was, he asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
Ivana shook her head to indicate that she was okay.
The waiter put down the dishes and said diligently, "Miss, if you need help, feel free to call forany time." "Okay." Ivana took out a banknote and handed it to him as a tip.
The waiter was overjoyed when he saw it. The woman in front of him was not only beautiful but she was also generous. This tip was comparable to the tips given by several guests.
He glanced at Ivana’s coquettish face and wondered what her background was.
Ivana had no appetite. After taking a few mouthfuls, she silently looked at Bianca, who was also eating dinner.
Bianca had ordered steak. She ate it gracefully as if she had received professional training for it.
Ivana remembered that every tshe ordered steak in the past, Luke would cut them into small pieces and then feed her.
She mockingly laughed at herself as she thought about it. She then asked the waiter for the bill and handed over the banknotes. She left without waiting for the change.
It was a bad idea to sit there and observe the fake Bianca. She would only make herself sad, and it was a horrible feeling.
Ivana walked out of the entrance of the restaurant and saw Luke walking over a distance away. She was stunned, and her heartbeat instantly sped up-
She stopped and looked at the man who was walking toward her in a daze. She wanted to reach out to him, just like how she had always done before so that he could hold her hand.
"Luke, you're here.“ A voice sounded from behind her.
Ivana was stunned. She turned her head and watched Bianca walk by from behind her. Even though Bianca brushed past her shoulder, she did not stop and even started running toward Luke.
He was there to pick her up.
Ivana looked at the hands of the two of them that were tightly intertwined and instantly lowered her head. Tears started to gather in her eyes.
This may be the most uncomfortable she had been in her life.
The love of her life was holding the hand of a woman who looked like her, and all she could do was stand there while feeling uncomfortable and helpless. She could only watch them act intimately. Even
after lowering her head, she could still hear their affectionate conversation.
"Luke, you're here! Are you hungry? Should we go in and eat?" Bianca smiled sweetly, her eyes full of love for Luke.
Luke shook his head. He took the shopping bags in her hands and said, "I'm not hungry, let's go home." "Okay." Bianca's hand was interlocked with his. She raised her head and was ready to leave when she heard Luke say, "Ms. Ivana?"
When Ivana heard Luke mention her name, Ivana raised her head. The sadness and pain in her eyes were instantly hidden. Apart from the pale face, there was nothing unusual about her.
"Mr. Crawford, hello." She did not walk over and decided to keep her distance. She just nodded in his direction.
Her gaze was familiar but distant, which made Luke feel a burst of inexplicable affection from his heart. The two looked at each other for a few seconds.
A sense of crisis overwhelmed Bianca. She pulled on Luke's sleeve and asked, "Luke, who is this?” "The new researcher hired by the company, Ms. Ivana." Luke regained his senses and introduced Ivana to Bianca.
"Ivana?" Bianca looked at her hostilely and said, "Ms. Ivana, welcto the company."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe welcomed Ivana to T Corporation as the CEO's wife.
Ivana nodded slightly, but her expression was still arrogant as she replied," Thank you."
Luke noticed that Ivana wanted to maintain sdistance but he did not move away. He wanted to say something but Bianca shook his arm.
"Luke, let's go back. I’m tired from carrying these bags."
Luke looked back at her, smiled, and took the remaining bags from her hands. In an instant, his hands were full from carrying the bags.
Bianca held his arm with her body pressed against him as she said, "Luke, you’re the best."
Luke smiled, and when he looked up again, Ivana had already left.
Bianca followed his gaze and looked at Ivana's back. She thought that Ivana was one of Abel’s chess pieces.
She retracted her gaze and looked at Luke.
Luke was still staring in the direction Ivana had left.
Bianca felt wary in her heart. 'Didn't the two just meet today?'
She shook Luke's hand again and asked in a soft voice, "Luke, what are you looking at?"
Luke snapped out of it, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, let’s go home. The kids should be home from school now.”
Bianca smiled in response to him, but she could not help muttering in her heart. If she could, she would rather the three of them never chfrom school.
It annoyed her that they did not treat her as a mother.
"Luke, I bought stoys for the kids, as well as clothes for the upcoming season." She did not let Luke notice her feelings. She wanted to gain his approval.
