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

Luca nodded as she no longer felt anxious.
After all, the signing of the contract was a done deal.
Luca pushed Luke out of the suite. Jason and the others were already waiting for them downstairs in the hotel lobby.
There were two cars parked at the hotel entrance. Mr. Zac and the other employees climbed into another car, while Jason helped
Luke to get into the backseat of the Rolls-Royce.
Luca got into the car too.
The backseat of the car was spacious. Luca sat by the window and looked at the snow outside the window. Suddenly, Luke
asked, "How's your wound?"
"It's still healing. The stitches can be removed in two days," Luca said in a soft voice. She had been dressing her wound often
this time and taking medicine. Her wound was able to heal quickly with the help of the medicine.
"That fast?" Luke frowned. He remembered that her wound was a mass of bleeding flesh, and there was even some rotten flesh.
The doctor at the hospital had debrided and sutured her wound. He told Luke that the wound was deep and would take some
time to heal. After all, some time was needed for the flesh to grow.
“Normally, surgical incisions only require seven days to remove the stitches,” explained Luca. She took the poison that Shanks
developed, and that was why she had a special physical constitution.
Her wound would have healed much faster than a regular person who was wounded without the interference of the fungus.
"Let me send you to the hospital to do a check-up after signing the contract.” Luke felt that something was wrong. Ordinary
people would not heal this fast. He was worried that Luca was pushing her body to the limits.
Luca knew Luke was worried for her, but she thought that it was unnecessary.
If Luca went for a medical check-up, the doctor would only exclaim that her healing ability was stronger than regular people.
Hence, Luca said, "Mr. Crawford, I know some clinical skills."
"I know that too, but you delayed treatment for too long. It'd be safer to do a check-up." Luke insisted.
Luca knew Luke would pull a long face if she did not listen to him.

"Alright." Luca had no choice but to listen to him. However, the doubts in her heart were growing bigger. Did Luke not suspect
her of stealing the bidding document?
If Luke suspected her, why would he still care for her so much...
Luca could not figure it out.
The only explanation that made sense was Luke had never doubted her.
They got out of the car when they reached M Group's office. Luca looked at the person who was standing at the entrance of M
Group's office. It was Marcos' assistant.
The assistant came over and greeted them passionately when he saw Luke and the others. “Good morning, Mr. Crawford. This
way, please."
"Thank you." Luke sat in his wheelchair and spoke politely to him.
The assistant nodded. He led them into the elevator and pressed a button.
Luca looked at the numbers that gradually went up as the elevator rose. She felt like she was dreaming.
The reason they came to M Group this time was to sign the contract. Before that, she still thought T Corporation would not be
able to win the bid.
The elevator door slowly opened. Jason pushed Luke's wheelchair out of the elevator, while Luca followed behind Mr. Zac and
the others as they moved forward.
The assistant brought them to the meeting room.
Marcos came in right after they sat down. His company's team was following behind him.
"Nice to see you again, Mr. Crawford." Marcos led his team to greet Luke. He reached out and shook hands with Luke.
"Likewise." The employees of T Corporation stood up while Luke spoke to show their respect to Marcos and the others.
After Marcos shook hands with Luke, he headed to the seat opposite Luke and sat down. The others found their seats behind
their boss respectively.

The meeting had begun.
However, Marcos did not mention the contents of the contract right away. Instead, he said, "Mr. Crawford, do you mind if I ask
you a question before the meeting begins?"
"Go ahead." Luke appeared to be calm even when Marcos wanted to suddenly throw him a question. He knew what Marcos was
going to ask without even having to guess it.
"The news of a gun shooting taking place in a restaurant is all over the media and newspapers today. Although the police have
yet to issue any press release about what exactly happened, some of the media stated that you were the target. I wonder if this
is true?" Marcos asked.
"Yes." Luke admitted. "I was being targeted."
Marcos raised his brows and asked, "Do you have any enemies in Russia?"
"I think that's a yes. If you were to go through the news from a few years ago, I cooperated with the Russian government and
police to wipe out an extremist group in Russia back then. It was considered the most dangerous group in the world back then.
Almost every mastermind behind the organization was caught, but I'm not sure why this group has shown up again recently. I
guess I do have enemies here."
"You mean the Island of Despair?" The Island of Despair came across Marcos' mind when Luke mentioned the extremist group
that was known worldwide.
"Yes." Luke nodded.
Marcos asked again, "But hasn't the Island of Despair vanished?"
"I'm guessing there'll soon be news flying around about the Island of Despair being re-established. I believe that the man who's
behind the shooting is a member of the Island of Despair. I don't have other enemies in Russia other than this organization.
Besides, I don't think I made the wrong decision to cooperate with the Russian government back then," Luke explained himself to
dispel Marcos's doubts.
What came into Jason's mind had come across Luke's mind too. Thus, the reason why Marcos asked such a question before the
meeting was because he was worried that Luke had made many enemies in Russia and they would stand in the way during their
cooperation in the project.

However, Marcos had such a big family. He did not have to worry about having one or two enemies.
Furthermore, Marcos' family was one of the few families among all the big families in Russia that had never engaged in any
shady business deals since it was established.
Given all the contributions Luke had made to their country and considering how he did not have too many enemies, Marcos'
family, who had been running their businesses with clean hands, would be able to accept it.
Indeed, it was just like what Luke had expected. Marcos smiled and said, “So, that's it. Mr. Crawford, I hope you don't mind me
asking the question. It's related to the project, after all.”
“I understand.” Luke did not mind either.
“Then, should we start the meeting?” Marcos set aside his worries after finding out what was going on. Moreover, Luke
cooperated with the Russian government to get rid of the Island of Despair. That had brought Russia peace and stability in the
international financial market. Such contributions meant a lot to the capitalists in Russia and the country's citizens.
“Sure.” Luke agreed.
It was a long meeting, but the negotiation between them went smoothly. Luca sat there while she watched the other employees
of T Corporation focus on the meeting. She quietly turned on her laptop and began to record the minutes.
Luke did not ask her to do anything. Hence, the only thing she could do was to record the minutes.
On the other hand.
Pierre flew into a rage when he watched the news.
“Crap! A bunch of losers!” Pierre did not expect that the huge amount of money he spent had ended up in vain.
Even though Abel had reminded him that Luke had Ray beside him and there was a chance that Pierre might not be able to
succeed, Pierre did not expect that it would be a complete failure!
Pierre thought to himself that even if Abel's men were unable to kill Luke, they could at least seriously injure him. However, there
was not even a scratch on Luke.
