His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1273 Bright Future

As Rachel listened to Lanny's extravagant compliments, she couldn't help feeling proud in her heart.

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Huang. I'd like to propose a toast to you. Your support means a lot

to my company," Rachel said as she raised up her wine glass.

Holley also followed her action. "Mr. Huang, I'd like to propose a toast to you, too. We are looking

forward to a bright future as both our companies work together." Holley drank off the wine.

They all had a good mood after a few drinks. Lanny squinted at Rachel's sexy boobs. He sat closer to

her, putting his hand on her shoulder.

Rachel didn't resist his offensive behavior. But since Holley was also there, she couldn't feel at ease.

Holley was smart enough to take this as her cue. She sneered in her mind and then pretended to be

drunk so that she could take the opportunity away.

"Mr. Huang, Ms. Bai, I'm so sorry. I'm a little tipsy so I have to go to the washroom. Please excuse me,"

Holley said before she took her leave. When she went out, she closed the door for the two.

As soon as Holley left, Lanny didn't waste time and pulled Rachel into his arms. He didn't move further

though, as he was not sure about Rachel's attitude yet.

However, Rachel only struggled slightly in the beginning. Since Lanny didn't let go of her, she leaned

on him obediently. He took this as a green light, and a wide grin came across his face.

Lanny's hands fumbled about her body. Soon he touched her soft and plump breasts, massaging them

with his hands which made her groan. Lanny was so excited that he rubbed them vigorously. He felt

her nipples went hard as he flicked on them, which made Rachel scream and tremble.

Lanny pressed the back of Rachel's head towards him and kissed her lips. She did not resist, which

pleased him even more.

He pushed her down on the sofa. His weight pressed over her as he locked her in his arms. Rachel

closed her eyes and let Lanny's tongue explore in her mouth.

Lanny's kiss was impetuous and rude. He was clearly taking advantage of her. Rachel frowned and This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

tolerated his wild behavior. However, she couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart.

If only the man on top of her was Charles! The thought of it made her excited. She returned his kisses,

and held him closer.

Some time later, Holley knocked on the door.

Rachel was startled, she immediately pushed Lanny away from her body in panic. She sat up and

sorted herself out. She took out a small cosmetic mirror to put on some makeup. When Holley finally

came in, she was sitting elegantly as if nothing happened.

Lanny was unprepared when Rachel pushed him away. He felt quite annoyed but he managed to

restrain himself since Holley was back. However, he still didn't give up on harassing Rachel. His hand

crawled on her thighs and rubbed her skin under the table.

Since none of them had the mood to continue talking about work, after some time, they called it a day.

When they departed in front of the restaurant, Lanny insisted on driving both of them home.

The two ladies had no choice but to ride with him on his car. He sent Holley back first and then drove

Rachel home. Soon they arrived at the building of Rachel's apartment.

"Mr. Huang, thank you for driving me home. See you next time. Goodbye!" Rachel said after she

stepped out of his car.

"Ms. Bai, aren't you going to invite me into your cozy home?"

Lanny didn't want to let her go so easily. Rachel understood what he meant, but she pretended to be

perplexed by his request and replied, "I haven't cleaned my house for a long time. It's a mess now. I'm

afraid you'll feel uncomfortable in it. Today's been a long day too. I'm a little tired now. How about I'll

invite you to be my guest next time?"

Lanny got her point. Even though he was disappointed, he didn't want to force her to sleep with him

tonight. After all, they had cooperation in the future. He would get her sooner or later. He also bid her

farewell. "'Till next time then."

Rachel smiled and turned around into the building. She walked away without looking back.

After Rachel was out of sight, Lanny decided to find another woman to relax with since he was quite

excited now.

The next day after work, while Holley drove back home, she kept thinking on how to get rid of Rachel

from the company. How ridiculous! Rachel even thought that 5% company share was enough to reward

her for her contribution! She even expected her to be grateful for her generosity! Dream it!

She had music loudly playing in her car. Holley felt joyful as she sang her heart out. Right now she was

confident enough to defeat Rachel and replace her position soon.

Holley had to admit that she secretly envied Rachel. She was never Rachel's friend. She had always

seen her as a competitor. Rachel didn't deserve the highest position in the company, nor did she

deserve to love Charles.

Every time that they were confronted by problems, she ended up as the person to save Rachel's ass.

Without her, Rachel couldn't achieve anything. She would only screw things up one by one. If there

was anyone who should be thankful, that should be Rachel.

Moreover, Rachel's love towards Charles was a humiliation to her. Charles should've been her lover!

He was her prince charming. How could this dirty bitch dare to think of having him instead?

She hated Rachel! Rachel could freely announce her love to Charles in public. She loved him

passionately.

What hurt her most was that they had even been together in the past. Rachel and Charles had spent

days and nights with each other a long time ago, while she didn't even dare to imagine having Charles

for a single day!

Holley had already found a solution when she got home.

There was only one thing to do to sabotage Rachel's position in the company, and that was to earn

more share than her. If her stocks surpassed Rachel's, then she could easily kick Rachel out.

It was a breakthrough. Holley knew what she needed to do next. Now all she needed was to take

actions.

With the plan carefully crafted in her mind, she did not waste any of her precious time. She even forgot

to take off her shoes before she started making phone calls to the other shareholders. She invited them

to dinner tomorrow night.

Holley had always been a sociable person, so she managed to maintain a good relationship with the

other shareholders. When she invited them, all of them agreed to attend the dinner. After all the calls,

Holley was even more convinced about her upcoming victory.

She hummed a happy tune as she went into the kitchen. She stopped to look at her reflection from the

glass window. The girl was beautiful, young and competent.

She had suffered so much during those years. She had tossed and turned every single night because

of her fear of the unknown risks in the future. Tonight she decided to finally take a rest and make a

delicious dinner for herself.

At the same time, Rachel was also thinking of the 5% share she had given to Holley. She regretted that

she was too kind to Holley. But on second thought, by doing this she could get her loyalty in return. She

was convinced that it was indeed a great deal. Any way, it was not much. Even if Holley got 5%

company share, she wouldn't be able to make any difference in the company.

The next day when they met in the company, they greeted each other as usual. Neither of them knew

that each was dreaming different dreams. Dreams that would shatter each other in the process.

Their peace got disturbed as a conflict between them arose later that afternoon. Apparently, they each

had totally opposite opinions regarding a project, and both insisted that they were right.

Rachel wanted to invest all their cash flow in a project in the west city region. Since the company was

struggling for survival now, she thought that they might be able to make great profit from this project

even though it would require a lot of investment. This project was promising, and they shouldn't miss it.
