Chapter 896 Daddy Is a Big Bully
When Bianca saw Jason coming into her office, she realized why Sue was yelling earlier.
Sue hated Jason for how he handled his previous relationship.
"Why are you here, Mr. Doyle?" Bianca was not fond of Jason for the same reason, but she appreciated his work ethic. Moreover, he was Luke's assistant, so she had to be courteous to him.
Jason was quite flustered at the moment after being yelled at. "Mr.
Crawford asked me to help you, Madam." "Do you know how to fix a computer?" Bianca chuckled. She knew that Luke would interfere, but she did not expect that Jason would be the one coming.
"What can that idiot possibly know?" Sue was not done dressing down Jason yet. She saw Jason go into Bianca's office and, under the pretense of delivering a cup of coffee to Bianca, continued to mock him.
Indeed, Jason did not possess much technical knowledge outside of his scope of work. He had told Sue that before.
"Mr. Crawford asked me to investigate the incident," Jason explained.
"What makes you think that you're a detective?" Sue said without looking at him.
Bianca had to stop the argument from continuing and quickly distracted Sue. "This is the task schedule for the next few days, Sue. Can you help me verify it?"
Sue had not been able to keep calm ever since Jason arrived. She realized that she had committed a gaffe after taking Bianca's hint.
As a mother of two girls, she should have remained calm instead of yelling like a shrew in front of Bianca and the other employees.
Sue smiled, tucked some loose strands of hair behind her ear, took the document from Bianca's hands, and left the office.
The office resumed its peace.
Bianca cleared her throat and continued to discuss the main topic. "I've indeed thought of investigating the incident, Mr. Doyle. I'd be extremely grateful if you would help."
Luke's personal assistant must be very capable indeed.
"I'll get to the bottom of it." Jason thought that it would be an easy investigation. The office building was quite old, and the security measures were quite strict. It would not be difficult to trace the culprit as long as they were not remotely hacked.
Bianca smiled and thanked Jason. "Sorry to trouble you, but I hope that you won't disturb Sue while you're investigating." "I..." Jason wanted to explain that he had not done that, but he fell silent before he could complete the sentence.
Sue must not want to see him now. Perhaps his appearance in the office had already disturbed her. He did not expect that she would still be angry even after so long.
Luke's words rang in Jason's ear once more.
"I’ve heard that your ex-wife is still harassing you. Sue doesn't want to meddle in other people's relationships, and she thought that you would've settled it when the two of you got hitched. I hope that you don't disturb Sue and the two girls before you settle your ex-wife once and for all.’
Jason smiled dryly. He understood what Bianca meant. "Yes, Madam. I'll be going to do my work."
Bianca knew that she should not have said that as an outsider, but she could not help to comment on it. If it were before, she would have said a lot more.
After being together with Luke, her management methods became more and more similar to his.
With Jason's help, Bianca was not in a hurry to investigate the virus attack. Instead, she worked on a client's project. It was more difficult now that she had to start a new design from scratch.
Bianca only remembered that Jason was on the case in the evening. She stepped out of her office, intending to ask Jason about the progress of the investigation, but was told that he had left three hours ago.
She did not know if Jason had managed to find any leads.
Bianca did not have time to worry about that. She went back into her office and saw that Luke had sent her a message, telling her that he had picked up the children. After that, she devoted herself back to her task.
She worked on the design until eight o'clock before going home.
She had only stepped through the door and had not put down her briefcase when she felt someone hugging her thigh. She lowered her head and saw that Tommy was looking at her with a face full of grievances.
"Mommy! Daddy is a big bully!" He pouted and began to sob.
Bianca wondered what happened. Seeing that tears were rolling down Tommy's little face, she put her briefcase down and carried the little boy in her arms.
"How is Daddy a bully?"
She had just finished speaking when Luke came out of the kitchen holding Rainie's hand. He smiled when he heard what Tommy said and lowered his head to look at Rainie. "Am I a bully?"
Rainie smiled and explained it to her mother, "Mommy, Daddy forced Tommy to eat the pears that he didn't like. Daddy isn't a bully, Tommy. He cares for your health."
Tommy might be small, but he understood what his elder sister told him. He pouted and fell onto his mother's chest again. "The pizza today tastes horrible, Mommy! It's too salty!" "How can that be?" Bianca's heart wrenched when she saw the tears on Tommy's face. "I thought I prepared all the ingredients correctly."
Luke coughed gently but did not say anything.
"Daddy added more salt to it, Mommy. It's very salty. You can't let Daddy enter the kitchen again. Mm, I want some water," Rainie said.
Children should not eat too much salt. Bianca immediately walked into the kitchen. "I'll get a glass of water for you." "Let me do it." Luke stopped her. "I know that you haven't finished your work."
Bianca wanted to ask about Jason’s progress in the investigation, but she did not want to talk about work in front of the children. They might not understand what was going on, but they could sense her stress, and that would make them worry unnecessarily.
She put Tommy down and patted his head. "I still have some work to do, Tommy. Daddy will take you to your room when it's bedtime." "Daddy doesn't know how to tell stories!" Tommy seemed unhappy. Content © 2024.
Bianca glanced at Luke.
The man seemed a little uneasy. When he raised Lanie by himself, Lanie had never been so soft. Perhaps Bianca had spoiled Tommy.
"Let me tell you a story," he said.
"Be a good boy, Tommy," Bianca also tried to coax the little boy.
Tommy reluctantly let go of his mother so that she could do her work.
At ten o'clock, while Bianca was drawing her design on the computer, Luke entered the room with a glass of warm milk. "Are you done?"
