Richard knew clearly who he meant to meet, so he didn't ask many questions. Instead, Richard planned not to meet Rachel first and let her wait for him. After Rachel was completely out of sight, he immediately contacted Smith with his phone while watching Rachel from the cafe's glass wall."Smith told the others I had an urgent need and couldn't meet them today. The meeting is canceled." Richard gave directions from the ongoing phone call.Elsewhere, Smith, who had prepared as thoroughly as possible, was surprised. He quickly went back to check Richard's schedule and found that today, he had cleared Richard's schedule for the meeting with the women. "Canceled, sir?" She repeated it again to make sure she hadn't misheard."Yes, canceled," Richard emphasized it clearly."But why? Didn't you already agree to do it?" He was stunned. "I've made sure that your schedule today is completely empty."Richard sipped his drink, still sitting casually in the café. With his shabby appearance, Richar
As the morning dawned, Smith did not delay the order he received from Richard to send the marriage proposal to Willson's family. He spent the night writing an official letter Richard signed, then set off for Willson's residence. "Should I give them a message about my arrival first?" She stood hesitantly in front of the gates of the Willson family home.Usually, the arrival of someone with important news needed to be scheduled. It couldn't just come because everyone had their own busy schedules, and it couldn't just come out of courtesy. For other reasons that made him excited, Smith forgot about it. He forgot to coordinate with Willson's family first so that they could prepare themselves at the very least.But after arriving in front of the residence, he couldn't return home without delivering the orders he was carrying out. He didn't want to disappoint his master, and he thought the Willson family would understand that this kind of thing was good to hurry up and not delay."Excuse m
"Rachel, don't just sit there. Go get ready or something!" Wilona reprimanded Rachel sternly as she saw that her daughter was utterly uninterested in this gathering.There was a stark contrast between Rachel's sombre mood and sullen face and her parents' enthusiasm, which was overwhelming.Ignoring her mother's words, she remained indifferent, sitting where she was and rolling her eyes.Furious with that, Wilona then came over to her. "Rachel, we discussed it yesterday, so stop acting like this."Rachel glanced at her mother lazily. "Being like this, what am I being like?" She replied in an irritating tone, and she did it on purpose.Braddy, who heard and saw her daughter's behaviour, sighed and glanced at her similarly. This clearly showed that Rachel had inherited her attitude from someone. "Rachel, please don't start it. The situation is currently very hectic, so don't start an argument."Rachel half got up from her seat. She straightened up and glanced at her father. "Who started
"No, it's not." He looked at Richard with a strange look on his face. He did not mean to say that Richard was not a good person, but he could understand why Richard offended his words. "I did not mean to make you feel disturbed, that was not the intention of my words sir. I misspoke, I apologize."Rachel immediately corrected her mistake by apologizing to Richard. She realized that her words were not what she should have said because they seemed to accuse Richard of something Rachel did not even fully know.While Richard reacted differently to Rachel's apology as soon as she felt she was wrong, the woman immediately apologized to him without hesitation and prestige for what she had done. She did not try to make excuses and passed the blame directly to him.Richard smiled faintly at a glance. He felt that he was not wrong in recognizing her. Seeing her reaction directly made him sure that this woman was indeed a different person from the usual women he met. She was not captivated by wh
"Ah, that sucks," Rachel complained softly after she had checked her cell phone.From there, she learned what she did not know about spreading the news. She knew there was a rumor about Richard and her being in a relationship, but the responses to the unconfirmed rumor were mixed, and most of the reactions were negative towards Rachel.No one knew for sure where the rumors came from, but people started condemning Rachel for the rumors. They said she deliberately approached Richard for social purposes and deliberately targeted him for political purposes. Rachel used her father's status to approach Richard and talk about marriage. Everything was about Rachel taking forceful and bad actions to approach Richard.While the opposite happened, she received an invitation to meet with Richard, but the invitation was unilaterally canceled. Then suddenly, Richard came to her with a marriage proposal. Rachel felt that all the rumors were really unfair to her; she didn't deserve to be treated like
Rachel stared at the woman fiercely. She didn't know the woman well, but she knew which family she came from. "What are you talking about?" She tried to ignore the woman by saying that and getting out of there, but the strange woman named Stevia blocked her.She prevented Rachel from just getting out of there. "You think you're better because you came to be with him and now want to ignore me?" She snorted in annoyance.Rachel didn't know exactly what the woman was talking about, but she knew that she was unhappy with what had happened between her and Richard. This still made Rachel feel very unfair. She was not the one who made all this happen, but it felt like she had more explaining to do and more people to deal with than Richard himself.Somehow, Rachel was sure that this would never happen to Richard. No one would ask Richard to explain his decision, but for him to attack and corner her like this.Stevia ran her eyes up and down Rachel and laughed dismissively. "Obviously, you're
"You've gone crazy, huh?" Rachel backed away slowly, staring at Stevia's strange transformation. She looked at the woman with a frowning gaze. What's wrong with you? It's obvious that you're the one looking for trouble first."He looked at Rachel strangely, trying to surmise her reason for suddenly dropping down and acting in front of her. "Suit yourself, I don't want to deal with you." Rachel was ready to leave her by turning to walk away and leave her there.But Stevia prevented her by holding her toes. "I've known you since the beginning. You're the one who's always been rude and mistreated others."Hearing that, Rachel turned around and looked at her, annoyed. "Are you crazy? You know me? When did we ever meet and talk in person? What the hell are you doing? Stop giving me a headache with your talk."Stevia got up slowly and looked weak. She did that on purpose to get the attention of the person who had been watching them. "Yes, I know you. I know you have a bad attitude. Your rep
"No, no, sir. None of that is true. It's just a misunderstanding." Stevia denied that by trying to hold Richard's arm.Richard flicked his arm away from her, making her flinch. "What's not true? You want to call me a liar?"That flat, cold look in Richard's eyes bothered her again, making her blush and feel that she shouldn't be doing this to bother Richard.But he had no choice but to insist that he was not wrong and had not done the things Richard was accusing him of. "Sir, you just don't know me yet. I'm sure there is a misunderstanding between us that causes you to think that way about me. I am not that kind of person, sir. Please understand and give me a chance to explain, sir."Richard was fed up with what she was saying and became even colder towards her. "I was not wrong to see and recognize you. You are what you appear to be in my eyes, so stop talking nonsense and get out of my sight. I don't want to see you again.""No, sir... sir." Stevia panicked. She tried to straighten
