Chapter 255 Keeping The Appointment

It was the sound of the elevator doors opening that brought Becky to her senses.She looked awayfrom Devin and walked into the elevator.

It seemed that Devin didn't lie when he said he just wanted to see her.

Becky found him unfathomable.He seemed to have given up on her, but he would appear beforeher from time to time.

Becky was not savvy at this whole love game like he was, so she had better stay away from him.

After that incident with Devin, Becky threw her body and soul into what she had always wanted todo: make money.

She was so focused on it and found it impossible to stop.

Even though her friend, Jessie, had suggested hanging out several times, Becky always turned itdown.

She never planned to avoid going out with Jessie, but she was just so occupied with a lot ofprojects.

The projects were worth from 3 million dollars to 100 million.

As for the project in the north of the city, arrangements for it had been finalized and constructionwas set to begin in two days.

Becky would visit the site and cut the ribbon to symbolize the beginning of work on the project.

When the day finally came, it was sunny and bright.

Becky wore a blue dress and a casual suit over it, which made her look professional even thoughthe dress was a bit casual.

Overall, she just looked sexy and capable.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Becky had to have lunch with some partners before finallyleaving with Talia for the company.

Around 1 p.m., Talia knocked on the door of Becky's office and informed her that Jenifer wasdownstairs waiting to meet Becky.

It was very clear that Jenifer had no wish to give up trying to meet her.

Despite all of Becky's efforts to discourage her, she only kept trying.

Becky raised her eyebrows as she looked straight at her secretary.

"Talia, what's my schedule this afternoon?"

"You have a meeting at half past two.It's about..."

Becky didn't let her finish.

"Okay.It seems I'll be busy.Just tell her I'll have dinner with her tonight."

Talia nodded and went out to deliver the message.

Though she didn't want Becky to meet with anyone from the Casper family, there was nothing shecould do to stop such a meeting.

After all, it would be very impolite if Becky kept turning Jenifer down.

Both Becky and Jenifer were members of the upper class.

It was necessary to at least maintain some level of friendship even though Becky didn't want tohave anything more to do with her.

It was late when Becky's afternoon meeting came to an end, and the day was already beginning toprepare for the darkness of evening.

"Talia, when did I plan to meet Jenifer?" Becky asked her secretary.

"Half past six, ma'am." She looked at the time and saw that it was already five-forty.

Becky shrugged and handed a document to Talia, "I'm done for the day, Talia."

She had an appointment to keep and she was one to ensure that every appointment washonored.Becky went over to her desk and picked up her bag.

"I'm leaving now.You should try to round up early too."

"Okay, Miss Ramos.Have a nice weekend." Becky froze.

She had forgotten that it was Friday! No wonder Jenifer had come to meet her.

Well, it didn't make much of a difference to her either way.She would just head over thereimmediately.

Since it was Friday, the traffic situation on the road was terrible.

By the time Becky arrived at the restaurant, it was already 6:40 p.m.

Led by a waiter, Becky quickly made her way over to Jenifer's private room.

"Becky, welcome," she said fondly.

"Thank you." Becky nodded with a formal air.

"I'm sorry for coming late.It was the traffic."

Becky turned her attention to the menu.She looked at it for a while before handing it back to Jenifer.

"Please, you go first."

Jenifer looked surprised.

This was the Becky that had received insults and humiliation from the Casper family during thethree years that she was married to Rory.

In the past, Becky was generous and decent.

Never had she acted as superior as she was acting now.

Even though she had come late, all Becky had given was an apology without the slightestembarrassment before taking her seat as if she was the host and not the guest.

Her tone was still gentle as ever, but Jenifer could feel the deliberate alienation in her expressionsand words.

Nevertheless, she pretended not to have noticed any of these and simply took back the menu.

"Okay.If you insist," she said with a shrug.
