In the heart of Rachel Hill, which was part of a vibrant city, the sun painted the sky with strokes of orange and pink.“The sunset from this rooftop isn’t half bad,” Rye commented while Uzza was sipping on coconut water next to her.“This is nothing compared to the views we get at our home, though,” Uzza responded. “But have you noticed the change in the moon last night?”“Yeah, it was…” she looked to her right and saw a drone disguised as a bird flying in their direction. With a little squinting of her eyes, she caused the drone to lose control and crash into a tree.The surveillance department people of the government who were controlling the drone were shocked by it. “What just happened? We were zooming on that absurdly large villa, and then… the signal was gone. We lost control over the drone, too.”“What kind of people are in that villa?”“They can keep the president buried in their backyard, so they’re no joke.”Using the heat signatures, they could tell that Andrew was buried
Rebecca crashed onto the road. Had she not landed on her hand first, she would have gotten badly bruised if not injured.“These days, it’s become a fashion for bitches to bump into men and trap them into falling in love with them,” the big man who punched Rebecca down angrily barked and stepped closer. “If I don’t teach your kind a lesson, then my name is not—”Rebecca punched his face as he leaned forward to grab her.“Argh,” he backed away.Rebecca got up and quickly ran away.He chased her.Though there were some onlookers, none of them intervened.Rebecca took her mobile out to call Jane, but to her shock, the balance on her mobile finished. She quickly called the police and alerted them of her situation.Afterward, she ran into a shopping mall as there were many people there. She told the entrance guards that a man was harassing her.The guards stopped this man from entering the shopping mall, but he punched them and hurriedly entered the mall.He was panting but he looked angrie
In the end, Rebecca and Jim walked home together.They didn’t know that Louis was following them from a distance. He had always been following them, even before Rebecca bumped into the big man. However, he didn’t want to interfere unless it was absolutely necessary.“It feels quite strange to see Rebecca and everyone remembering the son-in-law as Benyamin and not Benjamin,” Louis thought. “I feel tempted to tell her everything, but what if it does more harm than good?”“The girl who yelled at you at the shopping mall,” Rebecca asked Jim. “She was rich and good looking. Why didn’t you accept her proposal?”“Her attitude cannot be matched,” Jim shook his head just thinking about it. “Your family is also rich, but you are walking with me now. Eleanor would never do something like that. She acts like stepping foot on the ground without footwear is cheap. She said she wants to go on international trips every month, and during the trips, she doesn’t even want to enter a cab. She wants priva
Rebecca thought Selena already had her plate full of things needed to deal with, so the last thing she expected from her mother was to arrange a date, not with one man but with two men on the same day.Rebecca got so frustrated and angry she just didn’t know what to do. If it was in the past, she would have just completely ignored her mother, but she really felt offended this time.Nevertheless, she smiled and said, “Mom, send me their numbers and other details. I’ll meet them tomorrow.”“Oh, thank you, my little pigeon,” Selena gave her a quick hug. She was expecting her daughter to give her a cold shoulder, so she was as happy as a clam at high water. “From here onward, you’re going to live a royal life. I promise.”Rebecca then went upstairs to her room.Veronica came to her mother with a bit of a shocked expression. “Did she really not complain about you setting up a date for her?”“Haha, she didn’t,” Selena rubbed her nose. “And you should watch and learn from her. She realized h
The next morning.A green lamborghini and a black ferrari stopped outside an open restaurant at the same time.Out of the green car, a 27-year-old long-haired youth stepped out. He was Brook Gray, the CEO of the Gray Corp with a turnover of 1.8 billion dollars last year.Out of the black car, a 19-year-old stylish young man stepped out. He was Lucas Moore, the new chairman of Moore Holdings with a revenue of over 25 billion dollars last year.Both the young men started staring at each other from the moment they stepped out of the car. Brook’s expression was a little icier compared to Moore’s expression.“What brought a Moore to a simple restaurant like this?” Brook snorted.“That’s my question,” Lucas calmly and confidently approached him. “You are the type who likes to show off. You wouldn’t come here unless it’s associated with a girl. Are you dating someone?”“You came here in a Ferrari, so you shouldn’t talk like you’re a humble guy,” Brook let out hot air through his nose before
“Hmph,” Brook put his goggles back on and walked away. “Farewell.”Rebecca looked at Lucas. “You should leave, too.”Lucas smiled and sat down. “Now, only the two of us are left. I don’t mind spending a few more minutes with you.”“What makes you think I’ll change my mind?” Rebecca asked him.“I’m not expecting you to change your mind right away,” Lucas replied. “I’m not like Brook who keeps a list of lines to use when flirting with ladies, but I’m the type who seeks personality more than anything else. I was inspired by the fact that you rose to fame in the designing field in a very short time. You became one of the highest paid in your field. Though some of your designs are quite revealing, I also noticed that you don’t wear such clothing anywhere. I found that very interesting. I’m trying to find a woman with depth and good understanding skills. I think you fit the bill.”“You’ve got it wrong, Mr. Lucas,” Rebecca kept her cool, knowing that she offended Lucas by telling him to come
“Who are you?” Lucas asked the young man, Benjamin, trying to be calm and composed even though he’s clearly upset.“Aren’t you slow in picking up the clues!” Benjamin retorted. “Dude, I’m the one she’s interested in. So, it’s time for you to get back to your Ferrari.”Lucas looked at Rebecca as if waiting for her to say something.Rebecca nodded. “You should go.”Lucas reluctantly stood and hated the fact that Benjamin was waving his hand, seeing him off.After Lucas left, Rebecca shifted her gaze to Benjamin. “What was that all about?”“I just saved your time, and your return gift is a cold look,” Benjamin was all too familiar with this sharp, numbing look she had going right now. Nevertheless, he returned her a friendly, pleasant smile.Rebecca didn’t know what to say. “Mr. Benjamin…”“You can just call me Benjamin.”“You are one of those guys who can deal with almost anything with a smile on your face, right?” she said.“No. When I can kill someone or something, I don’t smile,” Ben
The Two Way restaurant was a charming little place nestled on a cobblestone street, its warm lights spilling onto the sidewalk like golden honey.The faces of the people sitting at the tables glowed beautifully like they would under morning’s sunlight.“In the past, my friend Jane has made a list of potential suitors for me,” Rebecca said. “After much deliberation, I decided to give it a try. I met those men at a small cafe during weekends. I still remember it very vividly. The first guy’s name was Max, I believe. His shoes were brighter than his teeth. He probably rented those shoes and clothes somewhere.“And then there was a guy with such a big beard that I thought squirrels might be living in there. The more they talked, the less interested I felt. I didn’t click with any of them.”“Then what about me?” Benjamin asked.“You have a girlfriend, and you’re looking for another girl,” Rebecca said. “That’s a whole new level of craziness. How did you even think I would believe your word
