Chapter 105 Alicia Invited Rachel To Lunch

When Rachel's bodyguards saw Alicia coming towards her, they immediately stood in front of her toprotect her. Rachel was actually surprised to see Alicia here, so she raised her eyebrows withinterest. Startled by the bodyguards, Alicia's eyes darkened. “Rachel, what the hell is this? Why didyou ask them to attack me?”

When Rachel heard that, the corners of her mouth twitched. “Why does she think that these menwill attack her?"

The passersby around all looked at them because of Alicia's shrill voice. Rachel immediately kept herdistance from Alicia. She didn't want to embarrass herself because of this woman, and besides, shehad nothing to say to Alicia. In order to avoid the trouble, Rachel passed her by, and proceeded tothe venue.

At this point, Alicia realized that she had overreacted, and embarrassment flashed through her face.Upon seeing that Rachel was about to leave, she grabbed her sleeve when the bodyguards weren'tlooking. “Rachel, didn't you hear me talking to you? Why didn’t you answer my question?”Displeasure was written on Rachel's face as she shook off Alicia's hand. “Miss Schultz, your wordsare quite interesting, you know that?” “Wait... what?" “I just got off the car when you ambushed mewith all your questions! You even slandered me by claiming that my bodyguards were going toattack you. I didn't argue with you because I had no idea what you want to do. I'm worried that if Ianswer your question, you're going to bombard me with more questions and slanderous claims.dear reader daily new latest chapters uploaded on www.novelheart.com So tell me, why should Ianswer your question?”

Rachel looked at Alicia indifferently. “You...” Alicia was taken aback, but she soon regained her usualarrogance. “Haven't your parents ever taught you to answer questions when you receive one?”Rachel sneered, “Sorry to disappoint you, but they haven't.” Having said that, she walked awaywithout another word.

Meanwhile, Alicia stood frozen before she came to her senses, and her eyes turned red with anger.As she watched Rachel walk away, she clenched her fists. She remembered what Maria told herwhen she saw Rachel's belly. A few seconds later, determination appeared on her face, as thoughshe had made up her mind.

She then caught up to Rachel, and stopped her again. “Hang on!” Alicia strutted briskly and sooncaught up to Rachel, grabbing the latter's arm. Out of the corner of her eye, Alicia glanced at thestalls around her, and then turned her gaze back to Rachel. “Look, I'm sorry. It was my fault.” “She'sapologizing, huh?”

Rachel's eyes narrowed as she looked into Alicia's. She hadn't had much contact with this woman,but according to the old Rachel's memories, and considering their interaction in Yaprve last time,she was a hundred percent sure that Alicia saw her as her number one rival in love. “I'm positive thiswoman will replace fault in me every chance she gets. So why the hell is she apologizing? It's so unlikeher!" “Hey!

Why are you not responding to me, Rachel?” Alicia said with a frown. Obviously, she was annoyedthat Rachel wasn't responding to her apology. Rachel's eyes lingered on Alicia for a while before shelooked away and said, “Oh, okay.” Alicia's eyes widened in disbelief. Ever since she was a child,everyone had spoiled her, and there were very few people she would lower her pride enough toapologize to. “In the past, any person that I apologize to would be flattered.

But, not Rachel... This bitch has the gall to treat it like it was nothing!" Alicia gritted her teeth.Truthfully, she wanted to turn around and walk away right now, but she remembered the decisionshe made just now, so she took a deep breath and said, “Since you've accepted my apology, youwouldn't mind having lunch with me, would you?”

The look on Rachel's face right now made it hard for Alicia to tell what she was thinking. Rightbefore Alicia had grown tired of waiting for her answer, Rachel finally said, “Yes, I would mind.” dearreader daily new latest chapters uploaded on www.novelheart.com Afterwards, she walked pastAlicia.

"You!" cried Alicia. She never imagined that even though she had lowered her pride so much, Rachelwould still be so indifferent towards her. This time, she was really frustrated. “I've already apologizedto you. What else do you want me to do?” However, she still received no response. Rachel turned adeaf ear to her. Through gritted teeth, Alicia shouted as Rachel walked away, “Are you that afraid ofme?” That remark successfully halted Rachel in her tracks, and turned around to look at Alicia. Uponseeing Rachel react, Alicia move forward until she was standing face to face with Rachel.

“Rachel, you won't even have the common decency to have a meal with me. Are you afraid that I'llreplace out your secret?” she said while raising her chin proudly. “My secret?” Rachel's eyes glinted withcuriosity. Alicia's eyes fell on Rachel's abdomen inadvertently, and jealousy flashed through hereyes. "Why don't you agree to have lunch with me? If you don't have any secrets to hide, youwouldn't mind, right? Believe me, I won't do anything to you.”

Alicia thought she had hidden her ulterior motives well, but Rachel noticed them all. First, sheapologized, and then she invited Rachel to lunch. And because of that, Rachel instantly figured outthat Alicia was up to something. “I can tell she’s provoking me. I suppose Alicia thinks she cancoerce me into accepting her invitation because of this. Unfortunately for her, I've seen too much ofthis kind of trick, and I've become immune to provocations

However, I am interested to know this “secret’ that Alicia blurted out, and I do want to know whyshe’s so eager to have lunch with me.’ “Fine, I'll have lunch with you,” Rachel replied as her eyesglinted. After a while, they found a nice, quiet restaurant in the shopping mall and found a table bythe window “One of this, this, and this.” Alicia must've ordered five or six items on the menu beforehanding it back to the waiter.

She then turned to Rachel and said, “I'm familiar with the food in this restaurant, so I took it uponmyself to order for us. Is that okay with you?" Rachel took a sip of lemonade and answered, “It's nota problem.” Alicia's face relaxed a little, and she gestured the waiter to start preparing the dishes.Rachel rested her elbows on the table, and rested her chin on her hands. Silently, she turned hergaze towards the window.

From time to time, Alicia glanced at Rachel's flat abdomen. No matter how hard she tried, she justcouldn't tell whether Rachel was indeed pregnant or not. After a while, the dishes that she hadordered were finally served on the table. dear reader daily new latest chapters uploaded onwww.novelheart.com

Rachel glanced at the dishes and her eyes suddenly dimmed. In stark contrast to Rachel's reaction,Alicia had an imperceptible smile on her face. She studied Rachel's expression carefully There was agarlic amaranth, red bean and barley porridge, stewed turtle soup, cashew nut with shrimp, and kingcrab.

It was a culmination of both meats and vegetables. All these dishes looked scrumptious, and theysmelled really good. However, they both knew that each of these dishes contained something thatpregnant women shouldn't eat. “The dishes are ready, Rachel. Let's eat!” Alicia looked at Racheltensely, eager to know whether the latter would eat these dishes or not.
