Chapter 46
Chapter 46
“What’s going on?!” Louis asked with a frown.
Olivia, who was seated across, sobbed in devastation. “I don’t know either. Their newly appointed CEOhas something against me, but we’ve already settled it. We were supposed to sign the contract today,but I have nothing now.”
Louis knew that the role of the Johnson Corporation’s spokesperson meant a lot to Olivia.
He initially planned to use Olivia’s identity as the spokesperson, which had brought them some fame atthat point. However, who would have thought that this sudden move would turn into dust with the newlyappointed CEO of the Johnson Corporation?
Louis turned slightly sullen and comforted Olivia gently. “It’s just a spokesperson deal. Don’t lose faith.This time, you may have lost this, but you’ll gain something better.”
“But I feel so sad,” Olivia said in low spirits.
Louis said, “I booked a table at your favorite fench–style restaurant. I’ll pick you up tonight, okay?”
“Really?” Olivia’s excited and delighted voice came through on the phone. “Let’s meet at LansenRestaurant tonight, then! Be there or be square!”
“Be there or be square.”
After hanging up, Louis turned around to look at his assistant. “Go replace out all the information about thenewly appointed CEO of the Johnson Corporation! I want the info as soon as possible!”
“Yes.” 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 couldn’t help but frown slightly asshe picked up. “Hello.”
“Rae–Rae, it’s me,” said Old Mrs. Jones, her voice ringing in Rachel’s ears. “I’m Old Mrs. Jones. Canyou hear me?”
“Hello, Old Mrs. Jones.” Rachel grinned. “How has your health been lately?”
“I’m plagued with old ailments and diseases. How are you? I heard you got a new job. How are youadapting to it?”
Although Old Mrs. Jones didn’t mention where she had gotten that news from, Rachel hadsubconsciously thought of a handsome face, which caused her heart to skip a beat.
“I’m adapting fine.”
Hearing her calm tone, Old Mrs. Jones said with heartache, “Dear, no matter what, your health is themost important. It’s already so late. Have you still not had dinner?”
David’s words, “be there or be square,” kept flashing in Rachel’s mind, and she wondered if they hadalready reached the restaurant.
Were they waiting for her?
She took a deep breath and returned to her senses before saying with composure, “Thank you somuch for the concern, Old Mrs. Jones. I’ll get some food once I get off from work. But, of course, youhave to take good care of yourself too.”
“If only David were as sensible as you are. He’s so busy that I barely see him. He won’t be home fordinner with me tonight. God knows what he’s busy with,” Old Mrs. Jones said with a relaxed sigh. “Iwon’t disturb you anymore. Get to work.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Rachel returned to her desk.
She couldn’t process the information in the documents in front of her at all. All she could think aboutwas David saying, “be there or be square” to Olivia.
Linda entered and could acutely sense how anxious Rachel was. Her eyes flickered, and she askedgently, “Since you can barely calm down, why don’t you take a walk with me?”
Rachel looked up at Linda and said with gently pursed lips, “Come on, let’s go home!”
When the car drove to a particular area, they happened to pass by
Lansen Restaurant. Rachel suddenly exclaimed involuntarily, “Pull over!”
