Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 60

The summer wind caressed my cheeks, but a chill stole over my body. I had been cooking porridge for Marlon happily, but now I was so ridiculous and pathetic to stand in the huge western-style house alone.

I was too ridiculous and pathetic!

Poor me!

I raised my hand and slapped myself fiercely. "Rachael, you're so cheap!"

I was too cheap! I was too cheap! No women were cheaper than me in the world. Marlon hurt and insulted me again and again. He had never loved me, but I still loved him. When I met the drunk Marlon, I couldn't help but fantasize and hope that Marlon cared about me a little.

Did he care about me?

I looked at the empty house and put on a self-mocking smile. He had never cared about me and wouldn't care about me forever. What had happened last night was only because he was drunk. Only a fool would take what had happened after getting drunk seriously.

I slapped myself again!

I slapped myself again. 'Rachael, this is the comeuppance of you indulging in such a ridiculous fantasy. You deserve it!'

Yes, I deserved it. I deserved it!

I had hidden my love for Marlon, but I showed it to him again, so I got hurt. I deserved it!

I looked around the western-style house sentimentally. I had been entangled with it for four years. I was familiar with everything here. I closed my eyes sadly, "Rachael, don't be cheap again, okay?"

When I closed the door, I felt that I had made a break with all of this. After walking out of this door and leaving this place, I would hide my love from now on. If I got hurt again, I would be in despair!

I calmed down and took the bus to the company. In the morning, my phone was broken by Marlon for Kieran's call. I would be in trouble after I arrived the company.

This was because Kieran had never been kind!

I got up late in the morning and cooked porridge for Marlon. When I took the bus to the company, I was late for more than two hours. The security guard at the door saw me running in and looked at me with shock.

"Sir, please open the door!"

The security guard stared at me for a long time before calming down and giving me a thumbs-up. "Ms. Cornell, you are really amazing. Since Universal Group is founded, you are the first one to arrive late for work!"

I chose to ignore him.

Of course, I knew that Universal Group's system was stricter than any other company's, but I never expected it to be so strict.

The security guard opened the door for me. There was no time to lose! I thanked him and ran inside.

"Only Ms. Cornell is allowed to be late. Mr. Charles has taken a fancy to her. No one but her has the guts to do that!"

"It won't last for a long time. Mr. Charles’ would soon lose interest in her. I guess he'll get tired of her after a while!"

I heard the conversation between the security guards vaguely, smiled and ran faster.

"Rachael!" While I was waiting for the elevator anxiously, the elevator door opened and Adrian walked out. He seemed to be a little surprised to see me. He smiled at me innocently. I smiled at him and rushed into the elevator. Unexpectedly, Adrian stepped forward and pressed the button. He smiled and said to me, "Rachael, Kieran came to my house to pick you up last night. But you weren't at my place, so he left!"

I was surprised. Kieran went to Adrian's home to pick me up last night. What was going on?

"Kieran asked me about you. I told him that you left with Marlon!" Adrian looked at me and smiled more innocently, "Rachael, I'm honest and never lie. Rachael, you won't blame me, right?"

I looked at Adrian walking into the elevator and didn't know what to say for a moment. Last night, he told me his story. I felt close to him and found a familiar feeling in him. Also, I felt that Adrian was different from Marlon and Kieran. Perhaps it was because Adrian was younger. Adrian was like a clean and exuberant boy for me. He was very talented but wasn't arrogant. However, when I saw the innocent and harmless smile on Adrian's face, I didn't know his thoughts.

"I know you won't blame me!" Adrian suddenly leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. Then he smiled and left the elevator. "By the way, Rachael, Kieran is waiting for you!"

Before I realized what he had done, the elevator door had closed. Looking at myself that was reflected in the elevator door, I couldn't help but touch the place where Adrian had kissed. I didn't understand Adrian's thoughts at all. Surprisingly, I didn't hate him at all. I still felt a deep sense of familiarity and intimacy from him.

I realized that Adrian's sudden departure was more than coincidental last night. He left on purpose and told Kieran maliciously!

I patted my face and recovered myself. I didn't have time to care about Adrian's thoughts. I should think about how to face Kieran. Anyway, I signed a contract with Kieran, but I indulged in spending the night with Marlon last night.

The elevator stopped!

The elevator door opened. Before I thought of how to face Kieran, I had arrived at the office. I took a deep breath. It seemed that I wouldn't escape the punishment of Kieran today. I was prepared. I walked in, but I saw that many desks were strangely placed in the neat and orderly corridor and many colleagues were working in the corridor.

When they saw me, they looked somehow relieved.

I was confused.

"Hello, Rachael! I miss you so much."

"Hi. I'm happy to see you. It's truly terrifying. I've never experienced anything more terrifying than this!" We weren't familiar with each other, but my colleagues looked at me with glittering eyes as if they were looking at God.

I swallowed, had a premonition and carefully walked in.

As expected, Kieran was sitting in my seat. He looked evil and cold. He was suffused with a terrifying aura that engulfed and enveloped the entire office.

The arrangement in the neat and clean office was different from before. My desk was arranged at the corner by Everly. Now all other desks were moved farther away from mine. Within a radius of ten meters, there was no one else. Only Kieran was sitting in my seat.

I was screwed!

I almost collapsed out of terror. Although Kieran was unkind, he had never been angry with me in public. But now he was waiting for me on purpose. I suddenly felt that I might not be able to see the sun tomorrow!
