Chapter 104 Remember That Day (6)_1
"Would this have happened if not for you?" As soon as Rachel Bailey saw Hansen Ruiz, even though she knew he had come to assist her—and considering his status, he had actually been willing to personally show up at the City Management Bureau on her behalf—she should have been utterly grateful, but she was still very angry.
Had Hansen Ruiz not spread Glades Horne’s words, I wouldn’t have been treated like a pawn trying to climb the social ladder. I could still have an accounting job, sitting comfortably in an office every day. Why should I suffer such a fate now?
Though it was clearly Glades Horne’s intention, and his actions were just a display of affection for Julia Bluen, Rachel Bailey’s heart was set on blaming Hansen Ruiz as the main culprit.
"Is this how you wrong your benefactor?" Hansen Ruiz asked with an amused chuckle. This feisty little woman, why is she always holding me responsible? It wasn’t me who caused her to be entangled by those companies; it was Glades Horne, okay? I was simply following my boss’s orders.
He moved to stand by Rachel Bailey’s side, not even glancing at the city official opposite them, but instead looked down at her with a half-mocking, half-smiling expression.
When the switchboard operator at Valence Group called his Secretary, the Secretary, thinking of the matter as a joke, carefully and tentatively called him. Once he heard Rachel Bailey’s name, he perked up. I find my interactions with her interesting. This little woman has a sharp tongue. Perhaps because I’m used to the flattery of others, I surprisingly enjoy listening to her biting words. It’s bizarre indeed.
Then, he ordered his network of contacts to find Rachel Bailey’s location and the nature of her trouble in the shortest possible time. Upon learning Rachel had been caught by the city management for conducting "ghost business" and ended up arguing and tussling with them, which angered the city management enough to bring her back to their bureau, he burst into laughter.
The situation had eventually led to what it was now.
He, the distinguished Chief Assistant of Valence Group, had eagerly trotted all the way over here.
"It’s all you! Always you!" Rachel muttered, turning away to avoid his mocking stare. Although his eyes are gentle, his gaze is deep. Looking into his eyes feels like falling into an abyss, and I don’t like it.
