Chapter 342: Instincts Are Winning
Rain was on her way to lunch with her team, heading to a restaurant just a minute’s walk from Alexander’s building, when her phone rang. Seeing William’s name flash on the screen, she quickly answered.
"Sis, Carla is here!" William’s urgent voice nearly made her freeze mid-step. "She and Alexander hugged on the ground floor. Brother was on his way out with Dion for lunch. You need to come now! Hurry! I’ll try to hold them off. That woman might try something, knowing Brother doesn’t remember you!"
Rain’s heart skipped a beat, but before she could say anything, the line went dead.
"Hugged?!" she thought, her mind spiraling. Without wasting another second, she practically sprinted toward Lancaster Building. Her heels clicked furiously against the pavement as her determination grew stronger with every step.
Rain’s jaw clenched as she quickened her pace, her irritation bubbling beneath the surface. ’I can’t believe that woman still hasn’t given up!’ she thought, her annoyance intensifying.
Sure, she could understand if Carla needed to see Alexander for business... fine. But hugging him? In public? That was crossing a line.
"Doesn’t she have any shame?" Rain muttered under her breath, her steps fueled by frustration.
By the time she neared the building, she had already decided: if Carla thought she could just waltz in and reclaim a spot that was no longer hers, she was in for a rude awakening. Whatever Carla was up to, she wasn’t about to let it slide.
Meanwhile, Alexander’s annoyance melted the moment he saw Rain. For him, she was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on, far surpassing Carla or anyone else. His irritation turned into surprise as his gaze locked on her radiant face, her usual sweet and refreshing smile directed at him.
