Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 1210

Luca did not say anything as she watched Luke press the button for the rooftop banquet hall.

The two people remained silent during the elevator ride. No one went in or out throughout the ride, so they reached the rooftop relatively quickly. The elevator doors opened, and two waiters were waiting for them.

The waiters could recognize Luke. They greeted him warmly and noticed Luca that also stepped out of the elevator with him.

One of the waiters recognized that she was the woman implicated in Luke's scandal earlier.

It was not surprising that the two people appeared at the same party. After all, one was a prominent businessman, and the other was a researcher in the field.

What was surprising was that they arrived at the same time.

Luke handed the invitation to the waiter and walked into the hall.

Everyone in the hall noticed his arrival. Their eyes fell on Luke, and naturally, they noticed Luca too.

She did not feel comfortable being looked at, so she took a glass of champagne and went to a corner.

She was not planning on interacting with those people anyway. After all, she worked in the technical department and not the sales department, and she did not need to build up a network of contacts.

The people surrounded Luke to greet him. After greeting every one of them, he instinctively looked around to search for Luca.

It did not take him too long to find Luca, who was hiding among the crowd.

She was holding onto a glass of champagne and looked into the distance, as though appreciating the night view of A City.

As one of the most prominent doctors in A City, Johann was also invited to the party. He was also surrounded by a group of people when he stepped into the hall.

After dealing with those people, he walked toward Luke.

"What are you looking at?" Johann could see that Luke's eyes were transfixed at a particular spot. He followed the direction of his gaze and soon noticed Luca standing in a corner.

He whistled softly and said, "What a beauty."

Luke came to his senses and glared at Johann.

Johann was slightly bemused. He touched his cheek and asked Luke, "What are you looking at?"

"Don't you think that she looked familiar?" Luke said.

"She's too far away, and I can't see her clearly. She has a nice body though, I wonder if she's single…" Johann said. He might be a single man, but he was willing to appreciate a beautiful body.

"She was in the tabloids some time ago," Luke said.

"How do you know? You don't look like someone who would…" Johann paused mid-sentence when he suddenly thought of something. "Don't tell me that she's the woman in your scandal?"

Luke's gaze became ice-cold.

Luke did not admit it, but Johann could tell that he had guessed correctly.

"Her body is great. I bet she has a great personality too," he said.

Right after he said that, Johann could sense Luke's aura becoming dangerous. He cleared his throat and put on a serious face. "… I think I'll just appreciate her from afar."

"Do you know who else she is?" Luke said.,

"I know that she's one of the researchers in your company. Who else could she be?" Johann asked.

"She was the one who diagnosed my mother-in-law's illness." Seeing that no one was around them, Luke whispered to Johann.

Luke looked at the man and frowned. That man was not Abel.

The man looked around him, smiled, and began his speech. "Good evening to you, honored guests. I am Finn Jeffries, the deputy president of the A City Pharmaceutical Association. Mr. Abel, our president, could not attend the party today because of unforeseen circumstances, so I would like to greet all of you on his behalf. I would also like to take the opportunity to welcome Watson Biopharmaceuticals into our association. Please enjoy yourselves, and I hope that you will take the opportunity to strengthen the bonds within the industry."

There was a round of applause after the man finished his speech.

Luca stood in the corner, seemingly unperturbed.

Why would Abel not attend the party? She looked around the hall. The banquet hall was in the open, so there were not many places that she had to inspect. Very quickly, she noticed the surveillance cameras hidden on top of two decorative pillars.

Was he truly absent, or was he observing from the shadows?

Luca tried to think about that question as she took a sip of her champagne. She realized that she could not understand what Abel was trying to do.

What was he planning in his absence?

Luca continued to look for surveillance cameras.

After the man gave his speech, everyone turned their heads to look at Luke. He raised his glass at them, then continued to look at Luca.

Johann noticed that Luca's gaze darted around her. "That pretty lady seems to be looking for something," he said.

Luke took a sip of champagne. "That's none of your business," he said coldly.

"Tsk tsk, why are you so possessive? If you don't want other men to look at her, you shouldn't have brought her to the party," Johann said mischievously.

He knew that Luke had invited several of his employees to the party, and that was why he dared to make fun of him.

Johann shuddered when he sensed Luke's icy gaze on him. "Alright, alright. I admit that I'm interested in her, but it's not like what you think."
