Chapter 105 Alicia Invited Rachel To Lunch
When Rachel’s bodyguards saw Aliciaing towards her, they immediately stood in front of her to
protect her. Rachel was actually surprised to see Alicia here, so she raised her eyebrows with interest.
Startled by the bodyguards, Alicia’s eyes darkened. “Rachel, what the hell is this? Why did you ask them
to attack me?”
When Rachel heard that, the corners of her mouth twitched. ‘Why does she think that these men will
attack her?’
The passersby around all looked at them because of Alicia’s shrill voice. Rachel immediately kept her
distance from Alicia. She didn’t want to embarrass herself because of this woman, and besides, she had
nothing to say to Alicia. In order to avoid the trouble, Rachel passed her by, and proceeded to the venue.
At this point, Alicia realized that she had overreacted, and embarrassment shed through her face.
Upon seeing that Rachel was about to leave, she grabbed her sleeve when the bodyguards weren’t
looking. “Rachel, didn’t you hear me talking to you? Why didn’t you answer my question?”
Displeasure was written on Rachel’s face as she shook off Alicia’s hand. “Miss Schultz, your words are
quite interesting, you know that?” “Wait… what?” “I just got off the car when you ambushed me with all
your questions! You even ndered me by iming that my bodyguards were going to attack you. I
didn’t argue with you because I had no idea what you want to do. I’m worried that if I answer your
question, you’re going to bombard me with more questions and nderous ims. dear reader daily new

Rachel looked at Alicia indifferently. “You…” Alicia was taken aback, but she soon regained her usual
arrogance. “Haven’t your parents ever taught you to answer questions when you receive one?” Rachel
sneered, “Sorry to disappoint you, but they haven’t.” Having said that, she walked away without another
word.
Meanwhile, Alicia stood frozen before she came to her senses, and her eyes turned red with anger. As
she watched Rachel walk away, she clenched her fists. She remembered what Maria told her when she
saw Rachel’s belly. A few secondster, determination appeared on her face, as though she had made
up her mind.
She then caught up to Rachel, and stopped her again. “Hang on!” Alicia strutted briskly and soon caught
up to Rachel, grabbing thetter’s arm. Out of the corner of her eye, Alicia nced at the stalls around
her, and then turned her gaze back to Rachel. “Look, I’m sorry. It was my fault.” ‘She’s apologizing, huh?”

Rachel’s eyes narrowed as she looked into Alicia’s. She hadn’t had much contact with this woman, but
ording to the old Rachel’s memories, and considering their interaction in Yaprvest time, she was a
hundred percent sure that Alicia saw her as her number one rival in love. ‘I’m positive this woman will
find fault in me every chance she gets. So why the hell is she apologizing? It’s so unlike her!’ “Hey!
Why are you not responding to me, Rachel?” Alicia said with a frown. Obviously, she was annoyed that
Rachel wasn’t responding to her apology. Rachel’s eyes lingered on Alicia for a while before she looked
away and said, “Oh, okay.” Alicia’s eyes widened in disbelief. Ever since she was a child, everyone had
spoiled her, and there were very few people she would lower her pride enough to apologize to. ‘In the
past, any person that I apologize to would be ttered.
But, not Rachel… This bitch has the gall to treat it like it was nothing!’ Alicia gritted her teeth. Truthfully,
she wanted to turn around and walk away right now, but she remembered the decision she made just
now, so she took a deep breath and said, “Since you’ve epted my apology, you wouldn’t mind having
lunch with me, would you?”
The look on Rachel’s face right now made it hard for Alicia to tell what she was thinking. Right before
Alicia had grown tired of waiting for her answer, Rachel finally said, “Yes, I would mind.” dear reader daily

“You!” cried Alicia. She never imagined that even though she had lowered her pride so much, Rachel
would still be so indifferent towards her. This time, she was really frustrated. “I’ve already apologized to
you. What else do you want me to do?” However, she still received no response. Rachel turned a deaf
ear to her. Through gritted teeth, Alicia shouted as Rachel walked away, “Are you that afraid of me?”
That remark sessfully halted Rachel in her tracks, and turned around to look at Alicia. Upon seeing
Rachel react, Alicia move forward until she was standing face to face with Rachel.
“Rachel, you won’t even have themon decency to have a meal with me. Are you afraid that I’ll find
out your secret?” she said while raising her chin proudly. “My secret?” Rachel’s eyes glinted with
curiosity. Alicia’s eyes fell on Rachel’s abdomen inadvertently, and jealousy shed through her eyes.
“Why don’t you agree to have lunch with me? If you don’t have any secrets to hide, you wouldn’t mind,
right? Believe me, I won’t do anything to you.”
Alicia thought she had hidden her ulterior motives well, but Rachel noticed them all. First, she
apologized, and then she invited Rachel to lunch. And because of that, Rachel instantly figured out that
Alicia was up to something. ‘I can tell she’s provoking me. I suppose Alicia thinks she can coerce me into
epting her invitation because of this. Unfortunately for her, I’ve seen too much of this kind of trick, and
I’ve be immune to provocations.
However, I am interested to know this ‘secret’ that Alicia blurted out, and I do want to know why she’s so
eager to have lunch with me.’ “Fine, I’ll have lunch with you,” Rachel replied as her eyes glinted. After a
while, they found a nice, quiet restaurant in the shopping mall and found a table by the window “One of
this, this, and this.” Alicia must’ve ordered five or six items on the menu before handing it back to the
waiter.
She then turned to Rachel and said, “I’m familiar with the food in this restaurant, so I took it upon myself
to order for us. Is that okay with you?” Rachel took a sip of lemonade and answered, “It’s not a problem.”
Alicia’s face rxed a little, and she gestured the waiter to start preparing the dishes. Rachel rested her
elbows on the table, and rested her chin on her hands. Silently, she turned her gaze towards the window.
From time to time, Alicia nced at Rachel’s t abdomen. No matter how hard she tried, she just
couldn’t tell whether Rachel was indeed pregnant or not. After a while, the dishes that she had ordered
were finally served on the table. dear reader daily newtest chapters uploaded on .novelheart
Rachel nced at the dishes and her eyes suddenly dimmed. In stark contrast to Rachel’s reaction,
Alicia had an imperceptible smile on her face. She studied Rachel’s expression carefully There was a
garlic amaranth, red bean and barley porridge, stewed turtle soup, cashew nut with shrimp, and king
crab.
It was a culmination of both meats and vegetables. All these dishes looked scrumptious, and they
smelled really good. However, they both knew that each of these dishes contained something that
pregnant women shouldn’t eat. “The dishes are ready, Rachel. Let’s eat!” Alicia looked at Rachel tensely,
eager to know whether thetter would eat these dishes or not.
