Chapter 1165 What Are You Doing


    "Let''s go to that corner and wait. We will be discovered if we continue to stay here," Holley said,


    changing the subject instantly.


    "Okay," Rachel agreed without a second thought. She trusted in Holley. She was convinced that she


    could achieve her goal more easily with her sidekick''s support.


    Half an hourter, Charles arrived at Lavender Bar and Lance was waiting for him at the entrance.


    Lance owned the bar; he wanted to show his hospitality to the very important guest.


    The instant Charles'' car stopped, Lance strode towards it and opened the door for his distinguished


    guest. "Mr. Lu, I highly appreciated your presence at my humble ce. Wee to Lavender Bar,"


    Lance said in a ttering tone.


    "Thank you, Mr. Zhan. I''m only here to have some fun. I hope you didn''t go into too much trouble for my


    sake," Charles said. There was no aggression or arrogance in his tone.


    "Mr. Lu, you are just being modest. If you wanted to rx yourself, you could go anywhere in the world.


    But you chose Lavender Bar. I''m humbled by your trust and hence I can''t fail you," Lance beamed.


    "You do know how to please people, Mr. Zhan," Charles replied,ughing loudly. Lance''s charming


    words lightened his mood.


    "I''m d you are pleased," Lance said with a wide smile. "Oh! I apologize, Mr. Lu. I should have invited


    you inside. Please,e this way. We can have a drink."


    "Oh, sure," Charles replied with a faint smile before stepping into the bar with Lance.


    "Ms. Bai, isn''t that Mr. Lu?" Holley whispered to her boss as she spotted two figures at the entrance of


    the bar.


    "Yes, that''s him. Now, I can sit back and watch this interesting show," Rachel said with a smirk. She


    was confident that her n would work this time around.


    She intended to seize this opportunity to create a misunderstanding between Sheryl and Charles and


    make them turn against each other.


    Her final purpose was to separate the two and make them stand at the door to their divorce.


    She began texting Lance ording to Holley''s n.


    Her messages would include pleas and threats. She decided to start with a plead, asking Lance to do


    her a favor. In case he refused her request, her n was to threaten him with their nasty secret.


    Thest person in the world Lance would want to know their secret was Charles.

    Holley was the one who hade up with this whole n.


    As Rachel was typing the message, Holley''s eyes were glued on Lance. She wanted to observe his


    reaction when he read her message.


    Just as she had expected, Lance raised his brow when he opened the message. But since he was with


    Charles, he didn''t dare show any emotions on his face. cing his phone back into his pocket, he put


    on a fake smile and said to Charles with a gesture, "Mr. Lu, this way please. We''ve prepared a VIP


    room for you on the third floor."


    With a slight nod, Charles strode towards the lift. His deep-set eyes and tall stature were a feast for


    Rachel''s yearning eyes. Even though she was standing in a far corner, her heart palpitated as if she


    was a teenage girl who had just hit puberty.


    ''This man possesses an inborn irresistable charisma. Many years have passed, and yet, he affects me


    so much. I could never forget him. He will always be the one for me, '' she sighed.


    The thought of getting him back excited and motivated her.


    "What are we going to do now, Holley? Are we gonna stay here and do nothing?" Rachel urged. She


    was losing her patience.


    "Be patient, Ms. Bai. Sheryl''s room door is open at the moment, which means that she is expecting


    someone else. There are already many people in that room. So I''m guessing she is here with her


    employees. You know how such dinner works. She will not be leaving before midnight," Holley replied.


    "And Mr. Lu isn''t going anywhere either. After all, he just arrived. It''s gonna take a while before he gets


    drunk. Haste makes waste, Ms. Bai."


    ''Hastes makes waste. I''ve repeated those words to Rachel more than once. But she has never followed


    my advice till now, '' she thought angrily.


    Holley chased the annoying thought away from her mind. She still needed Rachel. Once she turned out


    to be useless to her, she would dump her. Holley would do anything to reach her goal.


    "You are right. I will be patient. We''ll wait here," Rachel said. She drew a long breath to hold back her


    impatience before taking a seat in the corner.


    A few minutester, she got a message from Lance. It read, "What are you doing, Rachel? I need to


    focus on dealing with Charles. Don''t cause me any trouble now, okay?"


    "Mr. Zhan, I have no intention of getting you into trouble. I just need you to do me a favor. If you don''t


    want to, then I will have to turn to someone else for help. But as for our secrets, I am afraid that..." She


    left the text hanging like that and sent it to Lance. Her message was clear. She assumed that Lance


    would know the consequences of turning down her request.


    In a few seconds, Lance texted her back. It read, "You would achieve nothing by ruining me. You''d


    better keep that in mind, Rachel Bai. I could continue to work with Shining Company even if you desert


    me." It was evident that he was miffed by Rachel''s threat.


    "Do you think Mr. Lu would want to work with you if he knew what was going on between us? If you


    lose both Tarsan Corporation and Shining Company as partners, how will you manage yourpany?


    You really think that yourpany could survive alone?" Holley typed on Rachel''s phone and sent it.


    Rachel was slightly uneasy after Holley had sent the message.


    "Do you really think this is going to work, Holley? What if he gets offended and refuses to meet us


    again? What would we do?" Rachel asked as she looked at the message Holley had sent.


    "Don''t worry, Ms. Bai. If we didn''t do this right now, he would never agree to do you this favor. Even if


    he gets mad at you, it doesn''t matter. When you meet him next time, you can apologize to him. You do


    know how to please a man, don''t you?" Holley asked, as she assured the rattled woman. Rachel was


    not an innocent little girl. She knew what Holley was implying.


    "As long as Mr. Zhan does what we ask of him without making any mistakes, Mr. Lu will not suspect


    that he works with us. If Mr. Zhan is not stupid, he will do us this favor," Holley said, with a calcted


    look in her eyes.
