Chapter 198 Without Knowing It
Rachel had her reasons to do this. It was Jake who asked his people to keep in touch with Bruce. He told them not to spread the news of the boss's missing.
She not only hid this from Polly, but also from Jean, Bruce's mother, as well as all the members of the he family.
Because Jake specially ordered her not to let others know. Bruce's disappearance was not a private matter. The most important thing was that the BA group couldn't be thrown into disarray.
"I'm really sorry for you." Rachel apologized again and again, "I really don't want to conceal the truth from you. I have been very guilty and panic these days. I wanted to tell you many times but didn't know how to start. I wanted to call you, but I thought it was too rash, so I might as well come and tell you in person. Please forgive me this time. "
Rachel pleaded with humbleness.
Night set, the sky had not yet completely dark. Leaning on the window side, Polly's clear eyes reflected a faint yellow light of the street lamp. The students of A University walked out of the restaurant one after another after dinner.
Rachel murmured to ask for her forgiveness. Polly hadn't said a word. Rachel became more terrified and kept talking. It seemed that as long as she didn't say sorry, she wouldn't give up.
As a matter of fact, she really wanted to ask Rachel why she chose the most kind of excuses that could hurt her. As Jake said, Mr. He had been in a meeting all the time. For the reason it was not painful at all, even if she would have doubts, it was always better than knowing from a very trusted person that her man went on vacation with another woman.
What Hal said was reasonable, but she could not believe that her good friend would play tricks on her. She had always believed that what Rachel had done was to stay in the BA group and to have a good job in the future. However, people had a bottom line. For example, she would never hurt her friends for her own benefits.
Besides Hal, Avril also had a bad impression of Rachel. Both of them had little contact with Rachel Du. She used to think that one could not only see through his appearance. But why did they make the same comment as the two of her best friends? The reason was that she couldn't help but treat this woman as her ex, and they could only see her now.
No matter what happened in the past, kind or innocent, or evil, it did not mean that she could protect her heart for the rest of her life. 'good can turn into bad, while bad guys can be turned back, ' thought Polly.
But she couldn't be tough on Rachel. For example, if Owen had left her when she hadn't known it, instead of saying those merciless words to her personally, they would not have been as tense as they were now.
She wasn't deceiving herself, but she couldn't bear to see, and she didn't want to believe that all those good memories which had been branded in her life had been false, and they had all been her wishful thinking.
Not knowing when, the dorm was as quiet as a quiet night. She turned her head and saw Rachel was still three steps behind her, but she didn't speak any more. Pursing her lips into a thin line, she looked so pure and pretty. A few strands of curly chestnut colored hair fell down from her cheeks, even without any make-up on it. Her eyes and brows looked as pure as a layer of mist, which could not be seen clearly on her face.
Rachel stood up and walked forward. Her dark eyes suddenly lit up, but the moment she brushed past, she was not as brilliant as before like the extinguished candle.
The dorm was so dark that Polly walked to the light switch. After a clear and loud sound, the light filled the whole room. Rachel unconsciously blinked, and the edge of her long eyelashes seemed to be covered with a flicker.
Upstairs, a chaotic sound of footsteps came. After dinner, some people directly went to the classroom, and some people used to go back to the dormitory before going to the classroom.
The sound of footsteps came from the other end of the corridor. Rachel turned her head and looked at them. The soft light could not hide the anxiety in her eyes. She walked up to Polly, gnashed her lower lip and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry to take up your dinner. My treat tonight. We can talk about it while eating. What do you think? "
"No, I didn't..." replied Polly, shaking her head
Before she could speak out the last word "appetite", Rachel hurriedly interrupted her, "Dear Polly, when I saw you enter the house, you looked very tired with a worn-out face. I guess you want to rest in the dormitory. How about this? I know there's a restaurant nearby the school, and I'll go and buy some food for you. "
"No, thanks,"
This was the last sentence she wanted to say. But before she could finish her words, she had already opened the door of the dormitory. While walking outside, she said enthusiastically to her, "have a rest first. I will be back soon."
The door was closed before she finished her words. She was already outside. Her action was so fast that Polly had no time to react. Opening the door, it took only two seconds for Rachel who had already
reached the stairway and went downstairs in a hurry.
She wanted to catch up with Rachel, but on second thought, she went back to her dormitory.
Rachel hurried to leave because she saw her phone in mute mode flashing. She thought no one would call her, even though she was extremely worried and anxious at this moment. The only person who would do that must be Jean. Fortunately, the call was after she turned on the light. Otherwise, she would certainly see through it.
They were not afraid of God like rivals, but only cowards! This was the most severe and painful experience that Rachel had ever had.
She ran downstairs quickly and almost ran into someone. Those students who returned to the dormitory looked at her strangely. At the same time, her phone kept ringing. It was from Jean. She felt both angry and anxious. If possible, she really wanted to throw her phone out of the window.
When she went downstairs to the fourth floor, Rachel raised her head and looked up, but she didn't see Polly. She breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the button of refusal. Her palms were covered with sweat, as the phone screen was covered with a thin layer of water vapor, which made it hard to see clearly. With her trembling hands, she took out a facial tissue and wiped the screen clean.
She sent a message quickly.
There were so many people coming and going in the corridor, and she didn't want to have a quarrel with Jean here. It had been about two or three minutes since Jean called her. She could imagine the expression on her face, which was furious. She leaned against the cold wall and felt bored. She felt dizzy and wanted to throw up.
"Miss Du, have you left? What about Dear Polly? " Fiona walked past her and greeted her friendly.
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in her eyes. She seized Fiona's arm and forced a smile. "No, she looks very tired. I'm going to buy her dinner."
As she spoke, her body shook slightly, which looked like she tried to balance her body but couldn't help falling over.
As soon as Fiona felt Rachel extremely cold body temperature, she was startled and asked, "Miss Du, what's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Rachel leaned her body against the wall. With a look of nearly falling down, she shook her head and said, "no!"
"How come? You can't even stand!"
"That's very normal. All the secretaries have to be very strong." Rachel Du smiled reluctantly. "When our boss is seated, we have to stand. When our boss is standing, we should be even more straightened. Because we represent the image of our boss and are the spirit of the whole company. That was to say, when you graduated, you would not work as a secretary. Huh I'm going to buy some food! Don't tell Dear Polly! I'm fine! "
On the way to downstairs, Rachel received several more messages. She walked out of the girls' dorm and didn't make phone calls until she reached a corner.
On the one hand, she was afraid of being seen by people who knew Polly; on the other hand, she was really tired of the lady of Fang clan.
"You are so lucky, Dear Polly." Walking in with a washbasin, Fiona wrung the towel dry and wiped the sweat off her face.
"Why do you make such an emotion all of a sudden?" Polly took off her clothes. She had planned to take a shower as soon as she went back to the dorm, but had no intention of asking Rachel here.
"You are not only smart but also beautiful, and you have a powerful boyfriend as well. What's more, you have a close friend, miss. Du. I'm so jealous of you. "
Her words made Polly's heart sink a little, but she didn't show her emotion on her face. She just smiled and asked, "how do you know my things so clearly? Do you have other spies around me? "
"I'm serious. I'm not kidding with you! Rachel is a secretary. My brother is also a secretary. Don't you know how tired the Secretary's work is? The boss said that he would never take the second chance. He had to understand it more clearly because of his reputation and other factors. Their boss is quite seated. Even though he is sleeping on the bed, they are still not relieved. "
The more Fiona said, the more excited she became. A bright light was shining in her eyes. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"But, no matter how good your work is and how tired your work is, those bosses still treat you as nothing!" After a short pause, Fiona seemed to control her emotion and said, "I'm going too far. You know what? Although Rachel Du is very busy and tired, she still managed to find time to visit you. It means she value you very much. In this world, love between family members and friends should be maintained with heart. Don't think that you will forget what you get after getting too much from others. When you squander all the love from others for you, you will regret it. Even the cheapest love will not bring you endless regret. "
"Fiona, why did you..."
It suddenly occurred to him that Fiona's brother was the Secretary of the boss of the Phoenix shadow group. Most likely, her feelings were related to the fact that her boyfriend had been ever taken away by Diana.
On second thought, she agreed with her. In fact, Rachel had been concealing the news about Bruce and had helped Jean out of danger. She was just an intern and she did have to work as a secretary. It was her own intention to get the position. It was a piece of cake for Jean to trample her. She was forced to do that most of the time.
She shouldn't have blamed Rachel. In fact, even though Fiona her lover was taken away, what else could she do?
