“So you sent the birthday video too?”ra didn’t expect that Laura had been paying attention to her since then.


    Hearing this, Laura became more aggressive. “Who would it be otherwise? ra, you are too stupid. I didn’t even have the desire to fool you anymore.”


    After saying that, Laura left proudly.


    ra was left alone in the pantry. It took her a while toe back to herself.


    She couldn’t believe that Laura was “Back2Past”. Laura was right, she was too stupid to find it only now. She couldn’t me others for being tricked.


    ra worked the entire day under unfriendly eyes. After work, she felt exhausted, both mentally and physically.


    When she reached home, Horace hadn’t returned yet.


    She forced herself not to think about Laura and had a bath, which made her feel better. Then, she felt hungry. She smiled bitterly when she realized that she didn’t eat the entire day.


    The servant asked for a leave that day. ra got changed, and went downstairs, preparing to cook. In the middle of the stair, she saw Horace enter the vi. Looking at each other, they both felt rather awkward.


    ra stood there, hesitating about whether to go back to her bedroom or go down to the kitchen. After pondering for a few seconds, she chose thetter. But she didn’t speak to Horace.


    Being ignored, Horace stood still at the door.


    After a moment, he entered the door and went to the study. He turned on theputer, wanting to continue his work. But ra’s cold eyes kept popping up in his head. He couldn’t focus. Thinking that he couldn’t get along with ra like this forever, he got up and went downstairs.


    At the door of the kitchen, Horace saw ra cook spaghetti. Hesitating for a while, he asked, “Baby, I am kind of hungry, can you cook some for me too?”


    ra had seen Horace at the door, but since he didn’t speak and she didn’t know what he wanted, so she pretended that she didn’t see him.


    Hearing Horace’s request, ra thought to herself, “I knew it.”


    The servant was not home. Horace, growing up as a rich kid, didn’t know how to cook. He would be starving. So, she had prepared food for two people before he asked.


    Even though they were at a cold war, she wouldn’t let him starve. But she didn’t answer Horace, because she didn’t want to give in.


    Being ignored, Horace felt kind of awkward. Yet he didn’t know how to give in. So, after standing there embarrassed for a moment, he went back to his study.


    Sitting at the desk in the study, Horace felt regret. He should have asked one more time, maybe ra would answer. Now, he had no reason to spark a conversation again.


    Seeing Horace leave, ra felt pleased. She bet it was the first time that Horace had been ignored for something like eating. Thinking of his embarrassed expression, ra smirked.


    Just as Horace was upset in the study, he heard someone knock on the door, and then ra’s voice came. “The food is ready, get down and eat.”


    Horace got up happily. But when he opened the door, he found that ra had reached downstairs.


    He followed ra to the table and sat down, starting to eat somewhat absent-mindedly. He looked at ra several times, wanting to say something. But ra was focused on eating. He didn’t know how to start.


    “Horace.” Just as Horace was thinking of how to break the silence, ra spoke.


    “Yes?” Horace felt joyful. He put down his fork and looked at ra seriously.


    ra didn’t raise her head. Stirring her spaghetti with her fork, she said, “Do you have time to attend Ashlee’s funeral with me? It’s on Sunday.”


    ra wasn’t sure if she wanted Horace to go with her. They were in a cold war now, and she didn’t want to give in so easily.


    But she didn’t know how to deal with Glenn Middleton; after all, the copse of Mind Inc and Ashlee’s death had something to do with her. With Horace, she would be much more at ease.


    Hearing ra’s question, Horace hesitated. ra invited him to attend Ashlee’s funeral with her. It was a good opportunity for them to reconcile, but he couldn’t go there.


    Not hearing an answer, ra looked up at Horace but saw his embarrassed face. ra understood that with the rtionship between Horace and Mind Inc, it might result in some unfavorable news online if he went there.


    “Forget it, I’ll go by myself.”


    “No, ra.” Afraid that ra misunderstood, Horace exined, “It’s not that I don’t want to go, but on Sunday I’m going to discuss some details with Laura about the design. This meeting is very important. It is rted to the oue of the project and thepany’s achievements in the second half of the year, so I can’t be absent. I’ll ask Isaac to send you there, okay?”


    Hearing Horace’s words, ra clenched her fork. Laura again! Horace was still going to work with Laura!


    Maybe Horace regarded Laura as a work partner and a regr friend, but Laura definitely didn’t think the same. Thinking of what Laura had said today, ra didn’t want Horace to see her again.


    But she knew Horace wouldn’t believe her even if she told him Laura’s words. Moreover, she and Horace had quarreled too many times these days for Laura, and she didn’t want to argue over the same issue.


    “Okay, I see.” ra lowered her head and replied.


    “ra, believe me.” Thinking that ra was still doubting his rtionship with Laura, Horace reached up and lifted ra’s chin, looked into her eyes, and said, “Laura and I are just working partners, we…”


    “I know.” ra interrupted Horace, not wanting to continue discussing Laura.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Horace also understood What ra meant. He stopped mentioning Laura. Silence once again pervaded the dinner table.


    After a while, ra asked again, “Ashlee’s funeral is around the corner, can you let Valerie Bete back?”
