Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 130 Hi! Beauty!

"Ahhh... It's boiling out there!" Rain shouted loudly while rushing into Edward's office. He snatched the

bottle of water Edward had just taken out of the refrigerator and downed it.

"You're early. I didn't expect you till after noon." Edward grabbed another bottle of water from the fridge.

He frowned at Rain's messy hair.

"Edward. I'm risking heatstroke out there. It's too hot. We're not enemies. Why are you being so cruel

to me?" Rain felt cooler after his drinking. He threw himself down on the big sofa.

"Your hard work pays off. This month's bonus will be nothing to sneeze at. Quit complaining, or you

won't get that bonus." Edward glanced at him lazily and sat down in front of the desk. He didn't

particularly care that Rain was complaining, but he liked giving him hell.

"No! How can you go after my tiny bonus, boss? You're the CEO. You make so much more money than

I do. How can you be so stingy?" Now that Rain recovered from the heat, he started teasing Edward.

"Mr Rain, I am sure that the bonus is just a drop in the bucket to you. If you don't need it, you can

donate the money to kids in need. They would be happy to see a new school." Edward thought that

hundreds of thousands of dollars was a fair offer for a monthly bonus, and it was greedy of Rain to say

it was a tiny bonus.

"Cut it out Edward. If you want to show your kindness, please use your own money." FX International

Group spent millions of dollars on charity every year. He would be dumb if he let Edward donate his

bonus.

"Why should you care? It's a tiny bonus, as you said. So I'm doing you a favor and helping you to

spend it in a meaningful way." Edward smirked.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'll let you win this time. But remember: what goes around comes around." Rain's eyes were bright,

and his shiny earrings gave off a beautiful luster. As his head shook, the color of the light reflected by

the earrings would change, adding to his mystique.

"You really think you stand a chance?" Edward noticed the earrings. This must be one of the luxury

accessories that Rain paid a lot of money for. Edward couldn't understand why he would waste so

much money on this kind of thing. Edward believed only girls need to wear accessories to make

themselves look better. Not to mention that every piece of Rain's collections was unique -- they were

designed by Rain himself and hand-crafted by masters.

"Chance can be created." Rain smiled confidently.

"Take your time creating that chance." Edward walked past him and left the room.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Rain trailed far behind Edward in the mode of thinking.

"I need to eat." Edward paid no mind. He knew Rain would struggle to catch up. So it was no surprise

when Rain called out, "Wait a minute. I'll go with you." Rain stumbled as he tried too hard to stand up.

"I thought you are creating your chance. Right?" Edward really didn't know what to say to him.

"Chances are everywhere." Now it's time for a free lunch.

Sometimes coincidence happened. When they stepped out of the office, they ran into Mary.

"Are you going to lunch? Can I go with you? Because I didn't drive today." Mary figured out it was a bad

idea to ignore Rain. He was not just a VP, he was Edward's brother.

Rain touched his earring, which just became more colorful when he played with it. He thought, 'why

does this woman show up every time they go to dinner? Can't she find someone else to go with?'

"Sure. Let's go." Edward did not show too much emotion, but glanced at her anyway.

When Edward and Rain arrived at Mochan Restaurant, they came across Belinda and Duke walking

towards the restaurant. What a coincidence!

"Hi beauty! Nice to see you again." Rain was always good at engaging with people naturally. It was

important to leave a good impression on customers, and that's what he did well. Rain was confused

about what was going on between Belinda and Duke. Last time, they were at each others' throats. But

now they're having lunch together? Rain was convinced he'd missed a plot twist somewhere.

"Hey girl!" Belinda greeted him back sarcastically. She always teased him about his extravagant

clothing.

"What a lovely coincidence!" Edward winked at Duke. Since when was Duke good at picking up hot

girls? It seemed that he won Belinda's heart after all.

Duke snorted as he knew exactly what Edward meant by winking. He and Edward were old friends.

They could communicate with just a glance.

Mary was surprised at the top-tier people hanging around Edward. But she knew Duke was different --

he didn't make friends easily, and seemed to push people away with his attitude always.

Belinda noticed Mary staring at Duke, so she intentionally moved between them, even as she tried to

make it look natural. She simply didn't like anyone paying attention to Duke. Maybe she cared more

than she realized.
