As soon as she finished speaking, Olivia’s entire body seemed to have been drained of strength. Her four limbs were powerless as she sat on the bed. She looked at Zoey with a blank gaze. “How did this happen…”
She did not understand why everything had turned out like this.
All of this was too much of a coincidence. It was as if she had helped her arrange the ending beforehand.
Rachel basically had everything in her favor in this matter.
“You’re on your own,” Zoey said expressionlessly and turned to leave. When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something. “By the way, because you’ve openly violated the contract you signed with the company, the company has the right to ask you for liquidated damages. Remember to consolidate the funds during this period of time. I’m afraid you’ll go bankrupt.”
Compared to the disheartened Olivia, Rachel was calmly sipping her coffee and browsing through Twitter with interest.
Five minutes ago, Olivia held a simple press conference in the ward. She claimed that she had let her fans down and was willing to bear all the consequences and related compensation. She begged for Rachel’s forgiveness.
Facing the camera, Olivia did not show any anger or unwillingness. Instead, she was unusually calm. There were crystal clear tears on her pale little face, which instantly evoked people’s sympathy and pity.
However, her tears were also a weapon to exchange for everyone’s sympathy and forgiveness.
But at the end of the day, she only had herself to blame!
“Ms. Grey, this is the relevant information for the bidding.” Linda pushed open the door and walked in. She placed the document on Rachel’s desk.
Rachel nodded. “The PR department did a good job this time.”
“Our people didn’t do anything.” Linda suppressed the surprise in her eyes and explained, “I thought you instructed someone else, so…”
An imperceptible shock flashed across Rachel’s face. “I understand. Go ahead.”
“Yes.” Just as Linda was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly thought of something and turned back. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Just now, the president of Smith Group asked to see you. I rejected her request on the grounds that you were on a business. trip.”
There was a hint of coldness in Rachel’s eyes. She looked at the document in front of her and said firmly, “In the future, if anyone from Smith Group wants to see me, don’t inform me. Reject them all!”
“I understand.” Linda nodded and turned to leave.
After work, Rachel arrived at Lansen Restaurant as promised.
Under the waiter’s lead, she arrived at the private room she visited yesterday.
At this moment, David was on the phone with his back to her.
The man was wearing a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his milk–white skin.
The neon lights shone on his face, making his well–defined face look indescribably charming. Even just his side profile was enough to make people fall head over heels for him.
His long black eyebrows exuded an imperceptible sharpness that kept people at a distance. His nose bridge was high, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, vaguely revealing the coldness buried in his bones.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned his body slightly. The moment he looked at Rachel, the coldness between his eyebrows disappeared a little, and there was a faint gentle light in his eyes.
After hanging up the phone, he walked straight to Rachel’s side and pulled out a chair. His thin lips curled into a gentle smile. “Sorry, I was delayed by the phone call and didn’t go out to greet you personally.”
“I’m good. Don’t worry about it.” Rachel glanced at the chair David pulled out and sat in it.
David frowned slightly. He pulled out a chair and sat opposite Rachel. His cold voice sounded at this time. “I think greeting you personally is an attitude. It can make you feel how much I value you.”
“Aren’t you making a mountain out of a molehill?”
“It’s often the details that are worth savoring, isn’t it?”
The moment their eyes met, Rachel saw the light in the depths of the man’s eye as if they were filled with infinite gentleness. It could not help but make her heart flutter. “That seems to be the case.”
Upon hearing her answer, David’s eyes darkened slightly and he gave a giggle.
The giggle was very soft and short as if someone was hallucinating.
Rachel looked up and saw the man cutting the food on the plate with a knife and fork. He seemed to be venting his anger.
He seemed to be really upset.
Although she did not know why this man would be angry for no reason, she hesitated for a while before picking up her wine glass. “Thank you for today.”
“Do you only know how to express your gratitude verbally? Do you want to try another method?” David took a sip of wine, but his gaze was fixed on Rachel’s moist red lips from beginning to end.
Rachel had her lip slightly bit. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she did not know how to answer
It so happened that her phone suddenly rang. She stood up and plucked her phone from her bag.
When she saw the caller ID, a layer of coldness seemed to gather in her eyes.
She hung up the phone without hesitation, but then the call came again.
After repeating it many times, Rachel finally picked up the phone under David’s curious gaze.
“Rachel, you’ve gone too far this time!” Just as the call was picked up, Louis’s reprimanding voice came over immediately.
Rachel chuckled. “Mr. Smith, I’m very curious. From what perspective and identity are you criticizing me?”
“Rachel, I know you hate me in your heart, but you shouldn’t take out your malice on Olivia. She’s innocent!” Louis listed Rachel’s ‘crimes‘ today and said coldly, “Even if Olivia doesn’t know better, you shouldn’t destroy the career she loves. That’s no different from killing her.” Rachel could not help but laugh at Louis’s groundless accusation. “She brought this upon herself!”
Louis’s disappointed sigh came from the other end of the phone. “You’re really making me feel more and more unfamiliar.”
“Do you think I care?”
Rachel sneered. Just as she was about to hang up, Louis suddenly said, “This weekend is grandpa’s 80th birthday. He hopes that you can come too.”
Back then, when she came to the Smith family, Old Mr. Smith was the only one who did not think less of her and strongly approved of her marriage with Louis.
When he found out that she and Louis were about to hold a wedding, he even gave her the ancestral jade bracelet.
The bracelet was still in Rachel’s hands.
Since she cut ties with Louis, it was time for the bracelet to return to its original owner. “Rachel, whatever happens between us is our own business. Don’t get grandpa involved because of this.” Louis was afraid that Rachel would hang up the phone, so he hurriedly explained, “I don’t need to say much about how much grandpa has doted on you over the past three years. If you still have a conscience…”
