Second Marriage

Chapter 379 Heartless

“Go on.”

Alice said coldly and then looked at the papers.

They continued the meeting. Rachel had been waiting outside the door for more than an hour. When

the door of the conference room was open, Rachel turned to look at them nervously.

When she raised her head, she saw Hugo walking out of the meeting room with an emotional

expression. He didn’t look at her and walked by her directly.

Rachel wanted to say something, but she pressed the impulsion when she saw the expression on his

face.

“Hugo, wait for me!” Chloe said and ran after him.

Ada, who came out after them, looked at the backs of the two of them and started to leave the floor. But

Rachel stopped her by pulling her sleeve.

“Ada, how is it? What did you talk about in the meeting? Why did it take such a long time?”

Ada was affable and gentle. She didn’t take the stand on this issue, so Rachel chose to ask her about

the situation.

Sure enough, Ada didn’t get angry and she said in a low voice, “It’s a new company. It’s necessary to

discuss more details of the affairs. It takes time to develop a new company. Rachel, I think that we

should be patient with our new boss. Don’t be too harsh on her.”

Then Rachel said discontentedly, “I didn’t be hard on her. I didn’t do anything. As you can see, she let

me get out as soon as I entered the meeting room. Should a boss do such thing to her subordinate?”

“But she informed you of meeting. Why didn’t you come here before?” Ada took a sigh and asked.

“I...” Rachel was speechless.

Ada patted her on the shoulder and said gently, “It is your fault. You’ve heard what Alice said that day. If

you don’t want to stay here, you can leave the company. I think she is right. People should do things

out of their heart.”

Then she smiled and walked away from her.

Hearing what she said, Rachel suddenly thought of something. She turned to stare at her back and

said coldly, “Do you want to drive away all the people around you? Is it the reason why you sais these

words to me? If we left the company, you would stand out in it. Am I right?”

Hearing her words, Ada paused and then turned around. She looked at Rachel helplessly.

“If you think that I have an ulterior motive, I can’t help it. I have works to do, so I’ll go first.”

After Ada left, Rachel was very unhappy. Her words didn’t affect Ada at all. Ada just smiled and talked Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

for others. But Rachel thought that Ada was hypocritical.

At this time, Alice was still in the meeting room and sorted out her papers. She suddenly noticed that

someone was staring at her.

Alice pursed her lips and looked up at the man.

“What do you want to say?”

Her voice was very cold.

Noah could see her indifferent attitude.

Noah unconsciously shivered and held his arms. He said, “Why are you so cold to me? Lady, would

you like to have dinner with me tonight?”

Alice frowned and stared at him.

Alice looked very aggressive when she stared at Noah. He found that he felt himself was almost

overwhelmed by her. He smiled helplessly and said, “It’s just a dinner for my boss.”

“No, thank you.” Alice bent her head and continued to look at the papers. When she turned a page,

Yanis said something to her. Then she nodded at her.

Noah was attracted by her when he saw the scene.

Then he felt that it was a pity that Alice had become Zain’s girlfriend.

Since Alice was treated kindly by Zain, she wouldn’t like a man like Noah.

Thinking of this, Noah didn’t say anything and went out of the meeting room directly.

After he left, Yanis said, “Noah still remains his nature as a playboy. How dare he intends to pursue his

boss? It’s shameless. I’ve heard that he has been pursuing every pretty girl he knows. But I didn’t

expect that he even wanted to date you.”

“Well, just let it go,” Alice replied.

“Why did Zain invite such a shameless person to your company?”

“Zain…” Alice paused, and then she said, “He has his own ideas in selecting people. Even if he didn’t

hire Noah, there could be other persons with unpleasant characters. Anyway, no matter what kind of

people we meet, we have to adapt to this situation. You have a long day. Yanis, just go back and take a

rest.

After hearing her words, Yanis shook her head and said, “No. Everyone has been working hard today.

If I leave the company now, they will complain about it.”

They talked in the meeting room for a while. Then they got up and left together.

When they walked out of the meeting room, they found Rachel still waiting outside the room.

Rachel seemed to have something to tell them.

Yanis asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I...” Rachel looked at Alice and found that she looked indifferent. Then she had to explain, “Sorry, I

didn’t mean to interrupt you before. But there was an emergency. And I didn’t mean not to attend the

meeting. Because Winnie was ill. Sean and I stayed in the office to look after her.”

Yanis was speechless.

Alice said, “I got it.”

Got it? Rachel didn’t know what Alice meant.

“I didn’t lie. Winnie fainted just now. Sean has sent her to the hospital.”

Yanis said impatiently, “Now we know the situation, you can go back to your office.”

Rachel was confused and asked, “That’s it?”

Alice and Yanis didn’t reply to her. Rachel said angrily, “You are really heartless. You don’t care about

the situation. Winnie is ill. And you don’t worry about her.”

Hearing her words, Alice said, “If she is severely ill, why are you staying here?”

“Haven’t you said that you and Sean have been looking after her? Why do you wait outside the meeting

room?”

Rachel said, “I…”

She bit her lips. In fact, she didn’t intend to take care of Winnie. She looked down on Alice and didn’t

want to attend the meeting.

At that time, Winnie was ill, so she stayed in the office. Then Rachel also stay in it and didn’t come to

the meeting room.

However, after Sean sent Winnie to the hospital, she felt guilty and intended to explain the situation to

Alice.
