Chapter 23 Be Bitterly Disappointed for the First Time 2
"I'll take you bitch a lesson later!" Alicia pushed me away in panic and got up. Soon, she had tidied up
her hair and clothes that were messy from the wrestling and sat straight.
I had not yet reacted to what was going on, only to see Everly and three men in suit come in. while
seeing me sitting on the ground, Everly looked angry and her face became gloomy.
"This is?" a man in a suit at the end looked at me and spoke.
"She is the head of CH!" Everly said and looked at me coldly. But she still introduced me to the man
just now, "This is Director Wong of CH!"
I hurriedly picked myself up from the floor, tried to calm down, and greeted him, "Hello, Director Wong!"
"She is the head of Rich?" Alicia stood up and looked at me, "Aren't you always the person in charge of Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Rich, Everly?"
Everly smiled, "It used to be me. But now, it's Rachael, who is also in charge of the acquisition project
this time! Do you know each other?"
"No. I am just a little surprised. Everly, you are so capable. But you were suddenly replaced. I am
surprised!" Alicia smiled.
I didn't speak. I was unsure if I had gone to the wrong room and happened to meet Alicia before. But
what they said just now proved that not only did I not go to the wrong room, but also, Alicia was the
person in charge of CH.
But CH was a luxury brand under the Marlon Group. How could Alicia be the person in charge of CH?
The answer was obvious. But I suppressed it and did not think about anything.
I sat down in silence. I sat with Everly and a man in a suit, while the other two men sat to the left of
Alicia. I realized that the two men in suits were from CH.
We sat there face to face and fell silent.
Everly glanced at me with a mocking face, not having the slightest intention to help me. The person in
charge was her before. But now, it suddenly became me. I knew that everyone who experienced such
a thing would be unhappy.
I secretly took a deep breath and said, "Miss Alicia, we are sincere in acquiring CH. Please make a
price!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard everyone else laughing at me. Alicia laughed and was about to
speak when her phone rang. She answered the phone. After hanging up, she looked at me and said,
"Everyone, please wait a moment!"
I then did not speak again. I knew I must have just said something wrong. So, I had to think about the
wording again. Since Alicia pretended not to know me, I must also pretend not to know her.
Suddenly the door to the private room was pushed open. I looked up and my brain went blank. It was
Marlon who pushed the door and entered.
"Mr. Redford!"
"Mr. Redford!" everyone got up and greeted Marlon.
"Marlon, you're here!" Alicia smiled sweetly at Marlon. Marlon walked over, sat down beside Alicia, and
tenderly touched her head.
I was caught off guard while seeing this. I stood up sharply. Instantly, everyone looked at me. Marlon
also found me. He glanced at me with his dark eyes and then talked to Alicia.
"I, I'm going to the toilet!" I left in panic and hid in the toilet. I kept putting water on my face, "Rachael,
calm down, calm down!" but when I looked at my pale face in the mirror, I really wanted to cry.
"Rachael, aren't you looking forward to seeing my fiancé day and night? I called him here for you. Why
are you hiding here!" suddenly, Alicia walked in with a smile, "Hey, Rachael, are you crying?"
I wiped the water off my face and I said coldly, "You're thinking too much. Why should I cry?"
"Rachael, there really is a reason for you to cry. You must be surprised why I'm here and why I've
become the head of CH, aren't you?"
"It's none of my business!" I said and turned around to leave.
Alicia pulled me, approached me with a smile, and said word by word, "That's because I had to do my
internship in my junior year. Marlon didn't want me to work outside. So, he gave me the whole CH to
manage it as I please!"
Hearing the words of Alicia, I felt hurt. My body was stiff and cold. Internship? Just because Alicia had
to do internship, Marlon simply gave the whole CH as a gift to her? How much he loved her!
But what about me, who had been with him for four years?
My heart hurt so much. I only saw Alicia smile at me pleasantly but did not notice that she put a ring
into my pocket.
"Rachael, please be scrupulous in separating public from private interests. Come back to the room
quickly. Marlon is still waiting inside!" Alicia patted my face and turned away in pleasure.
I stood in the same place and felt bitterly disappointed.
I had loved Marlon for four years. Marlon had just known Alicia for a short time. Besides, Alicia also had
an affair with Kaleb. Why? Why did Marlon prefer to love such Alicia rather than me?
I really felt hurt.
'No, no, Rachael. You are here to negotiate and acquire CH. Only after acquiring CH, your contract with
Kieran is established and you do not have to pay back Davidson's medical expenses.' I said to myself.
I patted my face hard, took several deep breaths, and suppressed all my emotions before going back.
"Not here!"
"I don't see it here either!" as soon as I pushed the door in, I saw everyone looking for something all
over the place. Alicia was sitting there and her eyes were red. She said to Marlon pitifully, "Marlon, I'm
sorry. It's all my fault that I didn't keep the engagement ring well. It's all my fault!"
"Never mind. We can buy another one if it's gone!" Marlon comforted her.
"No, it is our engagement ring. We must find it!" Alicia's tears fell down and she looked especially pitiful.
I was a little confused, but finally knew what was going on. Then, I said lightly, "Since Mr. Redford will
buy another for you, Miss Alicia does not need to cry pitifully!"
Alicia looked at me with her big eyes incredulously, as if I had said something treacherous.
"It is a ring Marlon bought for me. I can't lose it. Besides, I can't waste Marlon's money!" Alicia said
sweetly. Suddenly, she looked at me, "I remember. Just now when others have not come, I took off the
ring and put it on the table while washing my hands. At that time, Miss Rachael was already there.
Have you seen it?"
I froze and said in a cold voice, "I didn't see anything!"
"But I really put it here. At that time, we were the only two in the room!" Tears poured down Alicia's
cheeks. She looked so pitiful that it was as if I was a bully who was bullying her ruthlessly.
"Rachael, we have searched everywhere. I think we'd better search you!" Everly said firmly.
"I think so!" Marlon looked at me and spoke.
