Chapter 1167 We Did It
"Are you sure?" asked Charles. He looked so serious with his stony facial features. He gazed at Lance
with his cold eyes which shocked him.
"Of course, I am sure. Mr. Lu, you have to trust me," replied Lance in a sincere tone. He stared at
Charles and waited for his reply.
The other entrepreneurs also gazed at Charles and made the same promise. Although those promises
were ostensibly varied, they roughly meant the same thing.
Charles did not expose their hypocrisy since he knew that it wouldn't change anything and it was no fun
doing that to them. Now that they had all made promises to him, it meant that though they had chosen
Tarsan Corporation earlier just for kicks, they would come back to Shining Company in the end. They
were loyal to Shining Company when the moment was right for them.
They all understood that Shining Company's position in Y City could not be shaken by Tarsan
Corporation very easily. They would not destroy the future of their companies for Rachel's private
affairs.
In other words, they were just using each other for what they needed at the moment.
"Well, now that you have all made your promises, I propose a toast to all of you here," said Charles in a
casual tone. Charles somehow felt at peace. He knew that they would come back to his company.
He decided not to interfere with their affairs since they wanted to start fresh. He was well aware that
those people would come back to him when they ran into a brick wall. And by then, they would
understand his company's position in Y City.
What was more, Charles was incredulous that a woman like Rachel could run a company.
'I should try to win people's support in Y City by taking this opportunity. It is a good chance for me to
gain some momentum, ' Charles thought to himself. A faint smile crept over his face.
"Mr. Lu, you are too kind. We are the ones who should be proposing a toast to you," said Lance politely.
He continued to stand beside Charles, pouring him more drinks.
"All right, then. Cheers!" Charles shouted out. He burst out laughing and took a sip of the wine.
His somber mood had finally cleared and he felt joyful.
Sheryl had called him sometime back to tell him that she needed to attend a company dinner and that
she might be home late. Clark and Shirley had been picked up by Melissa and they were probably in
bed already, asleep. Now that he finally had some free time today, Charles decided to let go of his
worries and have a good drink.
After three more glasses of wine, Charles started to feel a little dizzy. He didn't mean to drink so much
since he wasn't a frequent drinker. He hadn't meant to drink so much from the beginning. However,
once he started, he got attracted by the mellow smell of the wine.
Lance drank a lot too, but he was used to it. So he had a better capacity for liquor.
Charles started muttering under his breath and he was even a bit unsteady on his pins. Seeing this,
Lance walked out and sent a message to Rachel in a hurry to tell her that Charles was drunk.
Rachel and Holley had been waiting for a long time for the message from Lance. They had been
waiting for so long that they thought Charles might not get drunk at all. So, they were surprised when
they received the news from Lance.
"Holley! Look at this message! We did it! We finally did it!" Rachel said excitedly as she read the heart-
stirring message.
Holley glanced at Rachel's phone and smiled wickedly. "Let's go. It's time! After all, we do not want to
neck with Mr. Lu in the hall."
Rachel laughed and said, "You are right, Holley." She then turned to a waiter. "Excuse me!" She was so
pleased and her breast was filled with various emotions.
The waiter who was standing close to Rachel trotted to her immediately. He stooped down and asked
softly, "What can I help you with, young lady?"
He was respectful, and very professional.
However, Rachel was irritated by his words. "Young lady?! I don't like that moniker," she said in a very
arrogant tone.
"I am so sorry. Please don't be mad. I didn't mean to offend you," apologized the waiter hastily. The
waiter was just a trainee who still hadn't graduated from college. And he was at a loss of what to do
since Rachel looked so indignant. He knew that the woman must have a high social status in the
society and he was afraid that she would lodge a complaint against him.
"This is Ms. Bai," said Holley. She heaved an irritated sigh at Rachel's behavior since she was
purposefully making things difficult for the waiter. She was making trouble out of nothing. It was getting
late and if they didn't move fast, Sheryl might go home soon.
"I am so sorry, Ms. Bai. I am really sorry. Please forgive me. I will not make that mistake again," said
the young waiter repeatedly. Thanks to Holley's intervention, the young waiter knew how to address
Rachel. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Don't worry. We are not going to bother about it. Book a VIP box and a room for me. Remember that
the room needs to be close to the elevator. Are you clear? Hurry up!" said Holley impatiently. She didn't
want to waste anymore time since she was anxious to move on to the next part of her plan.
"Thank you. Thank you for being so forgiving," said the waiter thankfully. He hastily ran away from them
to book what they had asked.
Of course, the waiters in Lavender Bar weren't so respectful to every guests who came here, but
Rachel had arrived with Lance, who was their boss. So obviously, Rachel was a distinguished guest in
the bar. Although Lavender Bar was just a small part of Lance's estate, he would bring his most
important clients here all the time.
That meant that Rachel must have an impressive background and that was why the waiter maintained
a respectful attitude towards her.
"Rachel, we shouldn't be wasting time on such trivial matters. It is getting late. If we don't hurry, Sheryl
might leave," persuaded Holley.
Rachel was so irritated earlier, but after hearing Holley's words, she was determined not to haggle over
it. "Right! We should move. Now that everything is prepared, let's get on with it," replied Rachel.
"Okay, remember to send a message to Lance when we get to the box," reminded Holley. A sly smile
crept over her face once again as she thought about what was about to happen.
"I will. Don't worry," said Rachel, nodding her head. She waited quietly.
Shortly afterwards, the waiter came rushing to them. "Ms. Bai, I have arranged everything for you. Do
you want to go right away or do you want to wait for a moment?" asked the waiter.
"Lead the way now," replied Rachel in a rather impatient voice. She was still a little bit infuriated by the
waiter.
"Okay, Ms. Bai. Please follow me. This way please," said the man in a polite tone. Saying that, he
leaned slightly and pointed towards the elevator.
