Although she was being scolded, Rachel was still a little happy when she saw Eddison getting angry.
âWere you worried about me?â
âWhy would I be worried about you? I just suddenly remembered that I dropped something, so I came back to look for it!â
Rachel knew it in her heart that he was actually worried, therefore she did not argue with him, and allowed him to say whatever he wanted.
After a moment of silence, Eddison could not help but ask her again.
âAre you alright?â
âIâm fine!â Rachel shook her head and said, âI found a secluded place to hide! Arenât I smart?â
It was not until then that Eddison noticed that there was some dust on some parts of her head. She was like a dirty little kitten.
He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
âFrom now on, youâre not allowed to lose your temper with me! You need to leave when I tell you to!â
Rachel lowered her head and stayed quiet. Her stubbornness rose again.
Eddison was speechless. âAre you angry again?â he asked.
âNo!â Rachel shook her head and said, âI just donât know if I can promise you that, so I didnât answer you!â
Her answer made Eddison laugh out loud. What a foolish woman!
He did not want to argue with her anymore. Grabbing her arm, he dragged her into the car.
Rachel stared blankly at Eddison. It was the first time for him to hold her hand.
â¦
The morning of the date, Naomi arrived an hour in advance at the place that she had made plans with Culver the day before. Then, she began to conjure a scheme!
Meanwhile, Culver called Aaron and all of his stylists over early in the morning. He tried on different types of clothing for the whole morning.
However, he was satisfied with none of them.
The stylist was puzzled and asked, âWhatâs going on with Mr. Culver? He has never acted this solemnly even when he was dealing with a billion dollar business!â
Aaron looked at the stylist as if he knew everything and explained, âYou donât understand! How can attending a business meeting be the same as attending a date?â
Curious, the stylist asked, âIs Mr. Culver going on a date?â
âItâs good that you know now. In short, if heâs happy, both of us will benefit from it too!â
âYes, thatâs right! You should have said that earlier! Iâll pick something more suited for a date for Mr Culver.â
After that, the stylist immediately approached Culver solicitously with a semi casual suit and handed it over to him.
âMr. Culver, this suit is casual but not too simple at the same time. Itâs low-profiled yet it still brings out your elegance. Itâs suitable for you to wear a date!â
Culverâs finger paused, âWho told you that Iâm going on a date?â
The stylist immediately kept quiet.
âNo one! Iâll switch this to another suit immediately.â
âGive that to me!â Culver stopped the stylist again. The stylist was scared out of her wits as she thought that Culver was going to take her life.
Unexpectedly, he took the suit over and changed into it.
She even noticed a faint smile on Culverâs face when he turned around.
He smiled?
Did it mean that she was saved?
The power of love really was great! If there was a chance, she really wanted to meet the amazing woman who was able to capture Culverâs heart.
â¦
After Naomi confirmed every detail, she found the restaurant that she had arranged for the date that day. As she thought about how to inadvertently bring Culver in, she heard Marilynâs voice behind her.
âWhat are you doing?â
Naomi was stunned and stood still in an awkward manner.
âI-If I told you that Iâm just here to take a look, would you believe me?â
Marilyn snorted before saying, âDonât think that I donât know anything! Youâve been trying to butter Loraine up since a few days ago. She trusts you, but I donât. I donât believe that you have no ulterior motives. I wonât let you ruin this matter!â
Naomi was rendered speechless.
She really did not expect that Marilyn would see through her! Wealthy ladies really were experts. How did she find out about Naomiâs intentions so easily? Naomi had thought that her plan was seamless but she did not know that it had already been blown.
âSince youâre aware of my plan, I have nothing else to say! However, we might be able to be friends!â
Marilyn was stunned. âYou and I, friends?â she asked.
âThatâs right! You want Culver to have a marriage of state for the sake of the Olsen Group, and I want to leave him. Wouldnât our partnership be a win-win situation?â
Marilyn was stunned, âYou want to leave Culver? Why do you want to leave him? Do you think that he isnât worthy of you?â
Naomi was exasperated.
However, that wasnât her point!
âDo you mean that you donât want me to leave Culver? Thatâs fine too! After all, I wouldnât lose anything. Heâs handsome and richâ¦â
âDonât even think about it!â Marilyn refuted harshly. âIâve seen too many women to know that youâre one of those gold diggers! Leave my son immediately!â
Naomi was dumbfounded.
She thought to herself, âAt this point, I donât even know if you like me or dislike me anymore. How am I supposed to reply to you?â
âFine, Iâll leave him! Thatâs why Iâve asked Culver to come here! Itâs all up to you if you can make him go back to you later or not!â
Naomi no longer gave Marilyn the chance to refute. After she finished her words, she walked away.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw a luxury car entering the compound of the restaurant. A tall beautiful woman walked in, surrounded by a few bodyguards. Naomi looked at the beautiful woman, and suddenly remembered what she used to look like.
At that time, she was also a reckless person. However, after experiencing the bitterness of love, she was no longer so brave.
She took a step back and slowly hid herself behind the pillar.
As she lowered her head, she heard a familiar voice.
âWhat are you doing here?â
Naomi was stunned. The moment she looked up, she saw the man in front of her. He was dressed in a casual suit, and he did not look as serious as he used to look.
At that moment, he really looked like a graceful gentleman. He was charismatic yet chic at the same time.
When he saw Naomi looking at him in a daze, he could not help but laugh.
âAre you that shocked that youâve lost your ability to speak?â
Naomi rolled her eyes at him. âYouâre the one whoâs shocked! I was just thinking about something!â
Before her voice died away, Culver started to protest again.
âWhy did you come here dressed like that?â
It was only then that Naomi noticed the way she was dressed. She had indeed dressed a little too casually. The main reason was that she was trying to set Culver and another woman up. As a result, she couldnât care less about how she was dressed!
As she thought about it, she really did not match Culverâs outfit at all. However, the beautiful woman who had walked over just then would make a good pair with him.
She thought about that and was inexplicably disappointed again.
âSorry, Iâll go back and change!â
At least, she had found a good reason to escape.
In the next second, Culver grabbed her arm.
âForget it, I forgive you. Come on, what do you want to eat? Iâll take you there!â
Naomi did not want to get into a fight with him in public, therefore she allowed him to bring her into the restaurant in front of them.
Originally, she thought they would have a casual dinner. However, as soon as Naomi went in, she saw a group of violinists playing the song âFalling in Loveâ.
After that, a waiter came and greeted her.
âMiss, Mr. Culver has prepared a coupleâs meal for you over there!â
Before Naomi got close, she saw a fancy dinner table. She suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.
Culver was boasting beside her, âThereâs no need to feel too moved! Although Iâm very handsome and charismatic, I will dislike you if you cry!â
Naomi did not know whether to laugh or cry, âYouâd better shut up!â
It would be better if he stayed quiet.
