His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1230 Contact Holley

"All people in the business circle don't dare mess with Charles, while in the media circle, Lance is the

boss. Since you were a celebrity of Silver Corporation, I am sure you know that." After a pause, Dustin

carried on to say, "Now that Lance is the boss in the media circle, it would be a piece of cake for him to

cover his box news. You're so stupid. How would you try to put Lance down by releasing the videos to

the media?"

Dustin quizzed and then burst into laughter.

"So you're not going to help me, are you?" Rachel asked weakly. She felt her legs turn limp, but she

gathered all her strength to keep herself from collapsing.

"Ms. Bai, please leave now. Stop making a fool of yourself here," Dustin returned and then gave

another laugh full of contempt. The sheer amount of contempt in his laughter made Rachel feel sick;

she could feel her whole face turning color.

However, as upset as she was, she had no choice other than to leave the office as he had

commanded.

When she plodded out of the Zhang Group building, it was dusk and the sky was yellow. She started to

walk down the street aimlessly like the walking dead, no destination in mind. She just walked. All of a

sudden, there was a flash of lightening and thunder rolled; it was the sign of rain.

Since it was the monsoon season, the weather in Y City was unpredictable.

One minute it was fine and the next minute, it would rain cats and dogs. She continued roaming the

streets without much concern for the rain, almost as if she didn't notice it, and because she didn't have

an umbrella, her clothes got soaked.

Even so, she didn't want to seek shelter or walk any faster; she just wanted and needed to calm down.

Irritated and humiliated as she was, she couldn't do anything to take revenge.

'If Holley had been around, she might have given me some advice. But I kicked her out of my company.

Who else can help me?' she thought.

The moment she thought of Holley, her eyes flashed with hope. 'Perhaps Holley can help me out. Didn't

she say that she had a plan? Although I don't know what her plan is or whether it will work, I should

contact her instead of doing nothing!' She pondered some more.

Slowly, her mood started to lift. She quickened her pace and changed her course, going straight to a

mall. Ignoring her soaking clothes and ruined make-up, she whipped out her cell phone and dialed

Holley's number.

Holley had waited for her call for a long time. When she thought that Rachel wouldn't contact her, her

phone rang.

However, she wasn't in a hurry to pick up the phone knowing that Rachel was calling for help. She

wanted to let her realize that she couldn't treat her that way.

A few minutes had passed, but Holley didn't answer the phone. Running out of patience, Rachel was

miffed but she had no intention of giving up, as the only one who might help her change her situation

was Holley. When the call dropped, Rachel dialed Holley's number again.

As her phone rang again, a victorious smile tugged at the corner of Holley's mouth. 'She still needs me.

I can still work at Tarsan Corporation, ' she snickered.

At the Lansh Technology

Nick was feeling much better after staying at home the day before, so he decided to go to work.

At this point, even when he was staring at the computer screen with all the different codes, he was

overwhelmed with mixed emotions and his mind would often wander.

He was a genius in the IT industry. Since he was young, he had been obsessed with computers,

coding, and information technology. Many people said that he was incredibly intelligent but that he

knew nothing about romance.

In the past, he had never paid attention to girls, but like all people, he changed and as he replayed

what happened recently in his head, he found it hard to focus on his work.

The image of a pretty girl in white popped into his head. With a pair of finely trimmed, arched eyebrows,

she had rosy cheeks and a pair of big and twinkling eyes. She looked incredibly intriguing; even the

thought of her took his breath away.

Nick shook his head, trying to get her out of his mind but it was no use. Instead, he kept seeing the

image of that girl. As he thought more about her, his heart skipped a beat.

'What's wrong with me?' he wondered.

All of a sudden, fear consumed him. 'Why have I acted so strange lately? I can't continue doing this. I

must make myself busy so that I would not have time to fantasize, ' he told himself.

Nick picked up his telephone and called his assistant. "Come to my office, Bob!" he instructed.

Soon, his door opened and Bob entered his office.

"You wanted to see me, Mr. Ge?" Bob stood as if he was attending to a royal or a noble.

"Do I have any appointments today?" Nick asked with a serious look on his face.

The assistant glanced at his boss and furrowed his brows slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he

replied honestly, "Mr. Ge, the president of Amtel Company, Wilson, wants to see you, but..."

"Go ahead," Nick urged, looking up at his assistant.

Bob paused again and then continued, "He wants to meet you at a KTV and have a drink with you."

Nick's facial expression didn't change.

He was accustomed to such occasions. He used to not be able to drink, but now he could drink a lot.

'The only problem is...' he thought to himself, but then Bob interrupted his thoughts.

"Mr. Ge, you've just been released from the hospital. Drinking is bad for your health. Wilson is a drinker.

How about you let Mr. Gao and me go on your behalf?" Bob suggested.

Mr. Gao was the general of the business department, and he was usually responsible for dealing with

clients.

Nick hesitated. 'No. Now that Wilson wants to talk to me, I have to go. It's a big deal. If I ask them to

discuss with him, we might lose this deal, ' he pondered.

"When is the appointment, Bob?" he asked in a low, thoughtful voice. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

At his question, Bob knew what his boss was thinking. As worried as he was about Nick, he couldn't lie

to him. "At 2:00 this afternoon," he answered.

"I see. Remind me to attend that appointment. You can leave now," Nick said coolly.

Since he couldn't meddle with his boss's decision, Bob sighed internally, turned, and exited the office.

At Cassie's house

Cassie had the day shift, but one of her colleagues asked her to cover for her, so on this particular day,

she was on night shift.

She was lying in the bed attempting to clear up her mind, but it didn't go the way she wanted. Instead,

she was in a daze.

In her mind's eye, she saw a slender figure that belonged to a man; he was turning around to face her

slowly. He had a thin face and his eyes were stunning.

Out of the blue, Cassie felt her face burning.

She sat up quickly.

'Oh, geez! Why would I think of Nick? Wake up!' she cried.

Burying her face in her hands, she sat on the bed lost in thought. Suddenly her phone rang, pulling her

back from her thoughts.
