Marriage And Love Again

Very soon, Rosa arrived at the door of the office with Ivy and Rachel. Instead of going inside at once, Bonnie knocked at the door first, “Ms. Suny, Mrs. Murray, and Ms. Rachel are here.”

“Come in, please.”

Ivy stood by the door and watched Rosa, wondering why Rosa would be so humble to Suny since they were sitting at the same table.

While Ivy was absent-minded, Rosa had pulled the door open. “Please come in, Mrs. Murray, Ms. Rachel.”

Ivy came back to reality and walked inside.

“Mrs. Murray. Ms. Murray.” Suny raised her eyes to look at them and smiled.

“Rosa, please make two cups of tea here.”

“Yes. Ms. Suny.”

Ivy was totally confused about how Suny and Rosa were getting on with each other. But she wasn’t here to pry and gossip today. She lifted her hand to take the gift, which she had prepared in advance, out from her purse and put it in front of Suny. “Ms. Suny, it was our fault that day, in any case. But we didn’t mean to hurt you. Rachel is so clueless that she said things like that to you because she has been holding the grudge of the vase last time.”

Ivy then waited for Suny to answer. But Suny simply stared at them with a smile on her face and didn’t plan to say anything at all.

The smile on Ivy’s face subtly changed, and she had to continue, “We’re here today to apologize to you. This is a small gift that I prepared for you. It isn’t something fancy but it shows our sincerity.”

After she had finished talking, Ivy looked at Rachel next to her.

Rachel glanced at Suny and said, “Ms. Suny, I didn’t really mean it by saying things like that. I wasn’t using my brain when I blurt it out. Never mind it.”

Suny smiled, “It’s very kind of you, Mrs. Murray and Ms. Murray. For what happened that night, I’d rather not take it to heart.”

She then fixed her eyes on the gift box on the desk, and raised her brows, “Apology accepted. As for the gift, I think I’d better not take it, in case people take me as a vulgar woman who has never seen something great.”

By no chance that Ivy couldn’t understand the sarcasm.

A few years ago, Rachel and her friends teased Suny with the exact words. And they didn’t expect that Suny still remembered it as years had passed by. At the moment, resentment mixed with embarrassment overwhelmed Rachel, but she tried to calm herself down. Just remember, they weren’t here to quarrel but apologize to her today. So, Ivy played dumb and said, “I should have known that Ms. Suny has tons of such little gadgets already.”

Ivy took back the gift box. Right at that time, Rosa came in with tea but Ivy and Rachel weren’t in the mood of enjoying it. “Ms. Suny, you must be very busy and we’d better let you get back to work. We should hang out sometime.”

Suny smiled and didn’t intend to persuade them to stay. Instead, she paid a glance at Rosa and said, “Rosa, please walk the guest out for me.”

Rosa put down the tray and stood up to walk them out, while Suny just stood there without moving a bit all the way. Actually, they could have felt better if Suny simply refused to meet them at the very beginning.

Both Ivy and Rachel knew it clearly that they had no choice but to walk out of the office with a smile on their face even if Suny had scolded them today, otherwise, everything they had done was in vain.

At the gate of Phantom, Elijah had arranged for some journalists to “take the photos secretly”. Ivy and Rachel came out ‘smiling’.

Soon enough, the article that Ivy and Rachel apologized to Suny in person had been released on the internet. Of course, people probably didn’t expect there was a follow-up of the story.

But what Murrays did was not for others but for those they knew in J City.

After the news of the apology had spread over on the internet, the Murray Family didn’t regain their good reputation all at once, but gradually some people began to stand out and speak for them.

Previously on the recording tape: Most people tacitly approved that it was Suny who had uploaded the recording on the internet but only the Murrays knew it was Jasmine who did it. The Murrays had certainly won themselves the good name of being rather broad-minded and generous by apologizing to Suny, which turned it around.

But, something like this could only be a triviality compared to businesses. No one would refuse to lean on a moneybag.

Well, you know the upper class! Interests and reputation were what they cared most about.

Everyone cared about dignity. For something, it was better to talk it over and settle down under the table, because it would cause lots of trouble and embarrass people by turning it into a public event.

In a word, the Murrays somehow had fooled the public around on the recording thing.

…

On the weekend, when Suny and Alicia joined the crew to record the variety show, Alicia couldn’t wait to fuss over the Murray Family to Suny, “Do you know what’s wrong with Ivy and Rachel? Why are they always mean to you?”

Ivy didn’t walk over Suny in public, but it was undoubtedly true that she didn’t think much about Suny either over those three years.

Well, not to mention Jasmine. She was close to Tina and kept making trouble with Suny.

It was fine that she did that before. But she didn’t stop it even after Suny had divorced Austin, who had taken his stand. Anyone with sense knew that it would be less fatal to irritate Austin directly than to annoy Suny.

But Rachel was actually not that kind of person with ‘sense’. On her grandfather’s birthday, she just mocked and sneered at Suny loudly and openly in the restroom without the fear of being heard. The restroom was not a crowded place but people came in and out from time to time. But she didn’t care about it, or maybe she really wanted someone to be heard and spread what she said and laughed at Suny as she wished.

It was such a low trick that even Alicia had seen it through, let alone Suny.

Alicia was still resentful though it happened two days ago. Suny smiled and lifted her hand to put a piece of dried mango in her mouth, “Alright. What was done, done. Anger causes wrinkles on your face. Wrinkles will ruin your makeup.”

At that moment, Joan came in with the dresser. She was pissed off when she saw Alicia having a piece of dried mango in her mouth, “You are still eating sweets since you already get pimples on your face? Alicia, you don’t want to be on the camera, do you?”

Alicia took the dried mango off her mouth and looked slightly unwilling, “Joan, I didn’t ask for it. Suny put it into my mouth.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Suny raised her eyebrows, “I just wanted to shut you up. I didn’t plan to make you eat it.”

Alicia choked with embarrassment. She just didn’t know how to defend herself!

“You greedy girl!” Joan simply took the dried mango away from her hand.

Alicia threw an injured look toward Suny, who looked at the pimple on her forehead and said, “Stop looking at me now. The pimple on your forehead won’t be gone by looking at me that way.”

It was the first time for the superstar Alicia to feel so weak, lonely, and helpless.

Joan didn’t bother to look at her and directly told the dresser to do the makeup for them.

Suny came over without makeup. The skin on her face was flawless and fair. Her facial features weren’t that perfect separately but they did make a perfect face when they went with each other.

Joan watched beside her. Hadn’t she known how much Suny could earn every day, she would ask her if she would like to start her career as an artist. Thousands of face-judger fans would be crazy for such a perfect face!

Noticing Joan was staring at her, Suny squinted at Joan with a spurious smile, “Joan, didn’t Alicia fulfill your ambition?”

Joan was quite embarrassed after being seen through by Suny. Then she said, “You know, we never stop pursuing.”

Suny gave her a quick smile and stopped talking.
