Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 769 Midnight Phone Call

Jason did not understand why the boss did not want that young woman named Maxine to pass the interview.

According to the preliminary assessment, Maxine's results were considered one of the best among the candidates.

Jason knew that his boss did not like other people questioning his decisions. He nodded and said, "I know what to do,

Mr. Crawford."

It was all too easy to sabotage an undesirable candidate.

"Mm," Luke replied. He noticed that Jason's arm was bandaged and asked him, "What happened? How did you hurt

yourself?"

Jason smiled awkwardly and made up an excuse. "It's nothing. I got into a minor car accident while I was driving. I'll

be fine in a few days."

He did not tell his boss that he was hurt when his ex-wife brought a bunch of hooligans to the bridal boutique to

beat him up. It would have been hard to explain.

Luke did not ask too many questions either. "If you're injured, then you should rest at home and come back when

you're feeling better. Don't worry, I won't dock your pay."

Jason smiled but insisted, "Don't worry, it's just a scratch. It won't affect my performance."

Luke wagged his hand at him to indicated that he could leave, then focused on his work again.

Jason received a call from Allison as soon as he got back to his office.

"Mr. Doyle, is there a girl named Maxine who's applying for an internship at the company? Let me tell you, she's my

niece. You'll have to make sure that she passes. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you!"

Jason shook his head helplessly. The mother wanted Maxine to pass, but the son did not. What was going on?

It was quite a headache.

Even so, he replied formally, "Madam, it'll be up to Ms. Maxine's personal ability to earn a spot in the company. Also,

it's up to the HR department to decide if she gets the job. Don't worry. I'm sure that Maxine is an outstanding

individual, and she'll be successfully hired."

Allison did not give up. "Maxine has a master’s degree from a renowned university. Of course she's capable! Let me

warn you, don't think of pulling any tricks. Otherwise, you'll pay for it! Hmph!"

She ended the call at that instant, and Jason could only smile drily.

He could not afford to offend either of them, but if he had to pick a side, he would definitely side with his boss!

Late at night.

After sorting out their conflict, Bianca and Luke were once again fully immersed in the bliss of love.

They clung to each other like conjoined twins.

They laid down side by side on the bed, telling each other their secrets. Eventually, fatigue overcame them and

they fell asleep.

Around midnight, Luke's phone rang and woke him up.

Bianca remained fast asleep. She clung to his arm like a kitten.

Luke gently tousled her hair, tucked her into the blanket, and picked up the phone from the bedside table.

He furrowed his brows when he saw the call notification. It was from Jason.

Jason was a principled person. He would not contact Luke on his personal number unless it was absolutely urgent.

Even so, Luke was unhappy that he was woken up. He pressed the answer button and said impatiently, "Hello?"

"Boss, Sue and the two girls are missing. I can’t find them..."

Jason's anxious voice could be heard from the other end of the call. "Can you ask Mrs. Crawford if they were in

contact? Does she know where Sue is?"

Luke instantly sat up. "Why would she have gone missing? Wasn't she taking care of the children while you were at

work? Does the caretaker at home know where she went?"

Sue was a veteran employee in T Corporation. She had placed a lot of importance on her career.

Everyone thought that she would return to work shortly after delivering her twins.

To everyone's surprise, Sue decided to be a full-time mother and stayed at home to take care of her and Jason's

twin daughters. Occasionally, she would produce some designs for T Corporation on a part-time basis.

"She doesn't. Early in the evening, Sue told the caretaker that she would bring the twins to the nearby playground,

and the caretaker didn't have to follow her. However, they hadn't returned since. I've search all the playgrounds

and parks in the area but didn't find them. Her phone is also switched off..." "Hold on a second. I'll ask Bianca."

Bianca was woken up by their conversation. She rubbed her bleary eyes and stroked her cheek against Luke's bare

chest. "Who is it, Luke?" She asked coyly.

Luke moved the phone next to Bianca's ear and briefly summarized the incident. "Sue and her twins have gone

missing, and Mr. Doyle wants to ask you if Sue contacted you in the afternoon, or if you know where she went."

Bianca was shocked. Her face turned pale as she looked at Luke. "Sue and the twins are missing? What's going on?

Sue indeed gave me a call this afternoon. She said that she doesn't want to marry anymore. She finds a previously

married man very troublesome, and she would rather raise the children herself. I asked her what happened, but

she only repeated that she doesn't want to marry, and she couldn't rely on men..."

Jason sounded guilty as he spoke over the phone. "It's all my fault. If I had handled the situation properly, Sue

wouldn't think that way. Can you tell me

where Sue might have been? She doesn't have many friends other than you, Nina, and several colleagues, and her

social circle doesn't extend far past that."

Bianca became suspicious. "Mr. Doyle, a few days ago, Sue had invited me to shop for wedding gowns. Did you and

Sue argue? Otherwise, why would she suddenly disappear with the children?" "It's all my fault for mishandling the

situation," Jason said agonizingly, "A few days ago, when I was at the bridal boutique to prepare for a photoshoot,

my ex-wife went there with some hired thugs. She... hit Sue... and Sue must hate me now. She must be trying her

best to avoid me."

Bianca was furious when she heard that. "Are you a man, Jason Doyle? It's been so long, and you still haven't

settled your ex-wife? Can't you see what Sue has done for you? Your indecisiveness has caused Sue to be hurt. You

deserve to be ditched!"
