Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3436 That's Some Serious Sales Talk

After Hera got into the car, Abel turned around. His piercing blue eyes locked onto Luca.

"When will the test results be ready?" asked Abel. His primary concern was the results.

Luca replied, "It won't be that fast. She did quite a few tests, so it might take until tomorrow or the day after. But the hospital assured me that as soon as the results are in, they'll give me a detailed report right away."

Abel looked a little unhappy. "Didn't I tell you to choose the VIP package?"

"Mr. Abel, even with the VIP package, the results won't be immediate. Getting them by tomorrow is already considered fast," explained Luca.

Abel let out a cold snort.

Just then, the car window rolled down.

"Baby, I'm still upset." Hera's voice dripped with sweetness.

Abel turned around, his previously cold expression instantly replaced with warmth and tenderness. "What will make you feel better?"

Hera thought for a moment. "How about this? Let her follow me around today and carry my shopping bags. That might help."

"Alright, whatever you say." The moment Abel turned back to Luca, the look on his face became sharp and ruthless again. "Did you hear that?"

"Yes." Luca lowered her gaze. Whatever Abel told her to do, she would just go along with it. What else could she do?

As Luca stared at Hera's arrogant smirk, she asked, "Mr. Abel, where are you going shopping? I'll take a cab and meet you there."

She had no interest in sharing a car with Abel and Hera. Given their relationship, she was afraid she might witness things she would rather not see. If they got carried away in the car, it would be unbearable.

Abel did not object to her suggestion. Hera disliked Luca at the moment, and if they were in the same space, who knew what kind of drama might unfold? He hated conflicts between women, so he agreed.

"Fine, take a cab and follow us to Nova Plaza," said Abel.

"Got it." Luca nodded. Once Abel's car drove off, she hailed a cab.

After giving the driver the destination, she pulled out her phone and texted Luke about what had happened.

Luke replied as soon as she finished texting: [Be careful. Hera isn't someone to mess with.]

[I know, don't worry. I'll be fine.] Luca reassured him, feeling a wave of warmth in her heart. With his care and concern, no matter what Abel planned to do to her, she felt neither fear nor loneliness.

She then chatted with the kids for a while.

She was in a cab, away from Abel's watchful eyes, so she could talk to them freely.

Luca listened to the kids, enjoying their conversation until the driver reminded her that they had arrived at Nova Plaza. Reluctantly, she ended the call. After paying the fare, she got out of the cab.noveldrama

However, Abel and Hera were nowhere to be seen.

The weather was scorching hot, so Luca headed straight into the mall before calling Hera.

"What is it?" Hera's tone was far from pleasant.

Luca replied, "Ms. Sanchez, I've arrived at Nova Plaza. Where are you and Mr. Abel now?"

"We're on the seventh floor at the IV boutique. Get up here now." Hera sounded impatient.

"Okay." Luca ended the call but did not rush upstairs. Instead, she strolled leisurely toward the elevator.

Once she reached the seventh floor, she glanced at the floor directory near the elevator and easily located the LV store.

Hera was browsing the latest seasonal collection. She had just changed into a new dress when she let out a cold snort of displeasure upon seeing Luca. "Did you do that on purpose?"

Luca looked at her, confused.

"You told me you were downstairs ten minutes ago, and it took you that long just to get to the seventh floor? Were you deliberately dragging your feet?" Her tone carried a sharp, pressing edge.

Hera was wearing a limited-edition designer dress, and she felt superior because of it.

Luca was rendered speechless but explained calmly, "It's peak hours, and the elevators were packed."

"Don't think you can fool me just because he isn't here. If you really wanted to get up here, you should've squeezed in no matter what," Hera retorted, shifting her gaze back to the mirror.

The vibrant color of the exclusive dress complemented her complexion, making her skin appear even fairer and more delicate. She was very pleased with it.

Luca did not bother to explain. She had, in fact, stalled on purpose. Still, even if she had not, explaining would not have changed anything. Hera would not believe her anyway. Therefore, she saved herself the trouble and stayed silent.

Glancing around, she realized Abel was nowhere to be seen.

Was he not supposed to be here with Hera? Where had he disappeared to?

Was his so-called companionship nothing more than empty words?

Would Hera be okay with that?

Yet looking at the woman admiring herself in the mirror, she did not seem upset at all.

Luca decided it was not worth thinking about. Whether Abel was with Hera or not had nothing to do with her.

"What do you think of this dress?" Hera suddenly asked.

"It looks good," Luca replied honestly.

Hera glared at her. "Is that all you can say?"

Luca pondered for a moment, then added, "The design is innovative, and the color is vibrant. It suits you perfectly. Not only does it accentuate your figure, but it also makes your skin look fairer and more delicate. This dress might as well have been custom-made for you."

She said it effortlessly, without even thinking.

Back when she was Bianca, sales associates used to flatter her like this all the time. Even though it had been a while since she had heard such compliments, she could still recall them perfectly.

At this point, she could say them with her eyes closed.

Hera was clearly pleased by the flattery, a smile appearing on her lips. For the moment, her dissatisfaction with Luca was set aside. "Hmm, not bad. You've got a good eye."

The sales associate standing nearby listened to Luca's words and could not help but wonder if she was one of them. That was some serious sales talk.

Seeing that Hera was in a good mood, Luca figured that if she was happy, she would be less likely to give her trouble. Hence, she added, "This dress looks like it was designed just for you, Ms. Sanchez. Why not take it home?"

The sales associate widened her eyes in disbelief.

Would that actually work?

She thought Luca's words were a bit over the top.

Of course, she hoped Hera would buy the dress. After all, it would boost her sales.

Her gaze shifted to Hera, who, surprisingly, seemed to be enjoying the compliments.

If someone else had said this, Hera would have probably dismissed it as excessive flattery.

Even though Hera liked being praised, if the compliments were too exaggerated, even she would feel awkward for the person saying them. She would definitely question their sincerity.

However, the words did not feel over the top at all when Luca said them. In fact, they made perfect sense to her.

"Alright, I'll take this one." Hera decided on the spot and then turned to the sales associate. "Do you have any other new arrivals?"
