Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3438 How Dare She Talk About Luca Like That

Although Luca did not know the exact value of the clothes, she was certain that anything Luke had specially sent over would not be cheap.

So, when she caught the sales associate's skeptical glance, she felt a bit helpless but did not bother to explain. The truth would speak for itself. Besides, she had no intention of justifying herself to a sales associate.

Hera, despite her love for luxury goods, did not actually know much about haute couture. So, when she noticed the sales associate still sizing up Luca, she immediately snapped, "What are you looking at?"

"N-Nothing." The sales associate quickly averted her gaze and turned her full attention to Hera, smiling brightly." Our esteemed guest, what can I help you find today?"

Hera thought for a moment before saying in a serious tone, "Show me your new handbags."

The sales associate's eyes lit up when she heard this. Anyone who could afford so much designer clothing had to have deep pockets. This meant a solid commission for her!

With that in mind, she eagerly led Hera farther into the boutique.

She offered Hera a cup of coffee and an imported fruit platter. Then, she worked with her colleagues to present the latest handbag collection.

Hera looked at several bags and loved every single one of them.

However, even though Abel had given her a black card without mentioning a spending limit, she dared not dare to swipe too much at once. Hence, she kept her excitement in check.

She had been around enough men to know they all had their own limits.

If she splurged too much at once and ran up a massive bill, Abel might not be happy. When men like him got unhappy, they always took it out on their women one way or another.

Hera was not afraid of the usual transactional nature of their relationship, but she was afraid of what he might do if he decided to be cruel. Weighing her options, she dared not to buy them all.

Surrounded by the enthusiastic sales associate, she ended up selecting two bags.

The sales associate, who had been expecting a big splurge, could not hide her disappointment. She thought Hera would buy at least a handful, but she only picked two.

That level of spending was not exactly impressive. Many of their regular clients could afford just as much.

Although the sales associate was disappointed, she did not let it show.

She remained professional, carefully wrapping up the two handbags before taking the black card and completing the transaction. She tried upselling Hera on a few of the latest seasonal pieces, but Hera declined them all.

It was not that she did not like them. She just did not dare spend too much and risk upsetting Abel.

Now, Luca had two more shopping bags in hand.

Hera exited the boutique and headed straight into a high-end beauty store.

Luca rolled her eyes but had no choice but to follow, still weighed down by shopping bags.

What she did not know was that Gordan, disguised and keeping a low profile, had been tailing them from a distance.

Seeing Luca burdened with all those bags, he frowned and snapped a photo of her from behind. He then sent it straight to Luke.

Unaware of this, Luca simply carried on. If she had known, she definitely would have stopped him.

After all, she had rarely ever carried someone else's shopping bags in her entire life. Luke had always protected her

so well. She had never needed to experience anything like this.

If Luke saw her being pushed around by Hera like this, he definitely would not be happy.

Sure enough, he was not. The moment Luke saw the message from Gordan, his eyes darkened dangerously like a brewing storm. The sudden shift in his mood startled Gale.noveldrama

"Boss, what's wrong?" asked Gale.

"Hera is messing with Luca," replied Luke.

Gale nodded. He understood why Luke behaved like that. He was pissed because he felt bad for Luca.

Then, he thought about that woman, Hera. Was she not just digging her own grave at this point? Messing with their boss' woman now? When the time came for them to step in, Luke definitely would not let her off easy. Some people just did not know when to stop-not until they ran themselves straight into disaster. With that thought in mind, Gale asked, "Boss, do you want me to step in and help her out?"

"No need. She can handle it." Luke's gaze was still dark and heavy. He remembered what Luca had told him and decided to trust her.

Besides, they could not alert Hera just yet.

"Got it." Gale nodded.

On the other hand, Hera finally stopped after buying a ton of makeup and skincare products. By now, Luca's arms were completely weighed down with shopping bags. If Hera kept going, she would not even have the hands to carry them all.

After wrapping up her last round of shopping, Hera looked at the mountain of bags in Luca's hands, feeling very pleased with herself. Sliding on her sunglasses, she smirked. "Let's grab a coffee."

Luca knew that was not directed at her, so she stayed silent.

She took the last set of bags from the sales associate. Her expression was calm as she followed behind Hera.

Hera picked a fancy café, then turned to glance at Luca.

Seeing her struggling with all the bags gave Hera a sense of satisfaction.

Having Luca carry her shopping made her feel so much better. It was like all the frustration she had been holding in for so long had finally been released.

"Don't say I'm too harsh on you. Come inside and have a coffee." Her tone was full of arrogance like she was doing Luca some kind of favor.

Luca's expression remained unchanged. "Thank you, Ms. Sanchez."

"Hmph. You're acting like this little bit of kindness is some huge blessing. People really need to know their place." Hera had a sharp tongue. Even though her anger had mostly faded, she did not want to let Luca have it too easy.

Luca did not care and simply followed her inside.

After all, she had been sitting the entire time Hera was shopping, using every moment to rest. Hence, she was not actually tired at all.

Hera was probably the more exhausted one. She picked a corner table and sat down.

Luca set the bags down one by one.

"Be careful! Don't mess up my stuff." Hera frowned as she watched Luca handle the bags without much care.

"Yes, Ms. Sanchez." Luca complied as she carefully placed the bags down.

Gordan followed them into the café as well. His brows furrowed even deeper when he heard what Hera said.

She really did not know her place, daring to speak to their boss' woman like that.

Gordan sent another message to Luke at the thought of it. Since he was following Luke's orders, he reported everything in real time.

As soon as Luca sat down, she instinctively glanced at Gordan's direction. Even though he was in disguise, he still looked oddly familiar.

Hera followed her gaze and noticed that she was looking at a man. She immediately knocked on the table and sneered, "I swear, can you not go a day without looking at men?"

Luca withdrew her gaze, looking at Hera in confusion. What did she even mean by that?

"All you do is stare at good-looking guys all day. You're such a disgrace to women," Hera muttered while ordering

a cup of coffee. She also asked for a glass of lemon water for Luca.

Luca could not be bothered and did not care to respond.

Luca did not say anything, yet Gordan felt annoyed.

How dare Hera talk about Luca like that?

Gordan called over a waiter and whispered a few instructions.

After getting a nod of understanding, Gordan leaned back in his seat, pretending to scroll through his phone while actually eavesdropping on their conversation.

However, after her snide remark, Hera did not continue-especially since Luca was ignoring her.

It was not until two cups of coffee and a glass of lemon water arrived at their table.

Hera frowned and asked, "I only ordered one coffee. Did you make a mistake?"
