Chapter 46
Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
âWhatâs going on?!â Louis asked with a frown.
Olivia, who was seated across, sobbed in devastation. âI donât know either. Their newly appointed CEO
has something against me, but weâve already settled it. We were supposed to sign the contract today,
but I have nothing now.â
Louis knew that the role of the Johnson Corporationâs spokesperson meant a lot to Olivia.
He initially planned to use Oliviaâs identity as the spokesperson, which had brought them some fame at
that point. However, who would have thought that this sudden move would turn into dust with the newly
appointed CEO of the Johnson Corporation?
Louis turned slightly sullen and comforted Olivia gently. âItâs just a spokesperson deal. Donât lose faith.
This time, you may have lost this, but youâll gain something better.â
âBut I feel so sad,â Olivia said in low spirits.
Louis said, âI booked a table at your favorite fenchâstyle restaurant. Iâll pick you up tonight, okay?â
âReally?â Oliviaâs excited and delighted voice came through on the phone. âLetâs meet at Lansen
Restaurant tonight, then! Be there or be square!â
âBe there or be square.â
After hanging up, Louis turned around to look at his assistant. âGo find out all the information about the
newly appointed CEO of the Johnson Corporation! I want the info as soon as possible!â
âYes.â After acknowledging this, the assistant turned around to leave the office.
At that moment, Rachel, who had no idea about this, was still busy in the office.
When her phone rang, and she saw the unknown number calling, she couldnât help but frown slightly as
she picked up. âHello.â
âRaeâRae, itâs me,â said Old Mrs. Jones, her voice ringing in Rachelâs ears. âIâm Old Mrs. Jones. Can
you hear me?â
âHello, Old Mrs. Jones.â Rachel grinned. âHow has your health been lately?â
âIâm plagued with old ailments and diseases. How are you? I heard you got a new job. How are you
adapting to it?â
Although Old Mrs. Jones didnât mention where she had gotten that news from, Rachel had
subconsciously thought of a handsome face, which caused her heart to skip a beat.
âIâm adapting fine.â
Hearing her calm tone, Old Mrs. Jones said with heartache, âDear, no matter what, your health is the
most important. Itâs already so late. Have you still not had dinner?â
Davidâs words, âbe there or be square,â kept flashing in Rachelâs mind, and she wondered if they had
already reached the restaurant.
Were they waiting for her?
She took a deep breath and returned to her senses before saying with composure, âThank you so
much for the concern, Old Mrs. Jones. Iâll get some food once I get off from work. But, of course, you
have to take good care of yourself too.â
âIf only David were as sensible as you are. Heâs so busy that I barely see him. He wonât be home for
dinner with me tonight. God knows what heâs busy with,â Old Mrs. Jones said with a relaxed sigh. âI
wonât disturb you anymore. Get to work.â
âOkay.â
After hanging up, Rachel returned to her desk.
She couldnât process the information in the documents in front of her at all. All she could think about
was David saying, âbe there or be squareâ to Olivia.
Linda entered and could acutely sense how anxious Rachel was. Her eyes flickered, and she asked
gently, âSince you can barely calm down, why donât you take a walk with me?â
Rachel looked up at Linda and said with gently pursed lips, âCome on, letâs go home!â
When the car drove to a particular area, they happened to pass by
Lansen Restaurant. Rachel suddenly exclaimed involuntarily, âPull over!â
