Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 1489

Tia assumed that something must have happened in Luca's past for her to be so afraid of blood, and the murder incident at her apartment only deepened that fear.

Anyone who had a fear of blood must be hiding a dark past.

Tia thought of dredging that dark past and telling Luke. Luke would definitely stay away from Luca after that.

Arriving at that thought, she clenched her fists and picked up her phone.

Sophia knocked on her office door. "Ms. Tia, your next client is waiting for you in the consultation room. She has an appointment with you."

Tia stopped typing on her phone. 'I know," she said impatiently.

"Are you going over now?" Sophia asked. Usually, patients would not mind waiting for their doctor, but Tia's next client was someone they could not afford to offend. That was why Sophie was so nervous.

"I'll go over in a bit," Tia said impatiently. She was typing a message to invite Luca out for lunch.

"Ms. Tia, I don't think you should let the client wait for too long?" Sophia said. She dared not open the door without Tia's permission.

That was one of Tia's hard-and-fast rules.

Losing her patience, Tia opened the door and said, "The client doesn't have to wait if she can't wait. We have so many consultants here. Can't you arrange another one for her? I'm busy now."

Sophia tucked her head into her shoulders and said, "But Ms. Tia, the client is the wife of the mayor."

They could not afford to offend the wife of the mayor. If they did so, they would probably find it hard to survive in A City.

Tia was taken aback. Her mind had been occupied by fantasizing the illicit relations between Luke and Luca, and she had forgotten about such an important meeting.

She realized that she had to attend to the client immediately and personally. "Pour her a cup of coffee. I'll pack up a bit and go over."

"Yes," Sophia nodded and said. She turned around and went to the pantry.

In a hurry, Tia quickly finished the message and sent it to Luca. She put her phone on the table, picked up her briefcase, and left the office.

It was half an hour later when Luca saw Tia's message.

She declined the invitation without giving it a second thought.

She knew that Tia had a crush on Luke, and there must be some ulterior motive for inviting her to dinner. Maybe she wanted to find out more about Luca's thoughts, or maybe she wanted to declare dominance.

In either case, Luca did not want to be there.

Luca replied: [I've been quite busy recently. Maybe another time. Thanks for the invitation though.]

After putting the phone away, she saw Zoey come in with a stack of documents.

"What's that?" Luca asked.

"These are insurance policy documents, Dr. Craw. The company bought travel insurance policies for everyone for the trip to B City, and we just received the policies today. This one's yours." Zoey handed the topmost document to Luca.

Luca took the document and looked at it.

B City was quite far away from where they were. Not only did Luke bring all the employees there, but he also purchased travel insurance for anyone. He was quite generous indeed.

"Ah, okay." Tia was not very happy that she was interrupted, but she could not reprimand Luca either.

To her, Luca was only a stranger. Tia could not do anything to her.

Luca immediately ended the call after that.

While Tia listened to the busy tone, she realized that something was amiss. She looked at the screen and realized that the call had ended.

She gripped her phone tightly and waited. Luca did not call her, so she called back.

She received the automated message that Luca's phone was switched off.

Tia immediately turned red with anger. She hurled the phone onto the couch.

Meanwhile, Luca had made up an excuse to end the call, then immediately turned off the phone.

She could not be bothered to deal with Tia.

Many women wanted to gain Luke's affection. Come to think of it, none of those women ever got what they wanted.

That included herself. Even though she was walking freely in this city, she was actually trapped in a cage she could not escape from.

Luca tidied up her desk, then clocked out of work.

When she opened the door at Luke's apartment, she noticed that the slip of paper she slit through the door had fallen onto the floor.
