Chapter 1276 I Can Give You A Ride


    ck had heard so much about Holley from his elders ever since he had been abroad. They said that


    Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    this woman had outstanding and remarkable talent in the business area. They mentioned how much


    she contributed to Tarsan Corporation, and that if it weren''t for her, Rachel''spany would have gone


    bankrupt.


    He looked around, sweeping his gaze throughout the crowd inside the booth. As soon as his eyes


    and then. In those times he did, he was able to observe that Holley was taking pictures of those men


    who were flirting and having fun with the hot girls in their arms.


    Not long after, those people exited the booth, leaving Holley and ck alone.


    Holley looked at her shots when she felt another presence in the booth. As a matter of fact for her as


    well, she had been observing ck discreetly, ncing only at him when he turned his eyes away. She


    concluded that he was the unpredictable kind of man. He was young and charming, yes, but Holley


    knew that outside appearances could be deceiving if not real. This time, however, she felt him staring


    at her.


    Then again, it was her principle not to go near or associate herself with people beyond her control, and


    she never failed to follow it no matter how tempting it was to get to know him.


    Before standing up from her seat and heading straight towards the exit, she turned to look at him. As


    soon as she caught his eyes, she shed a subtle smile at the man.


    As for ck, the smile caught him off guard, leaving him falling for that enchanting beam. His mind


    took him elsewhere, and when he finally came back to his senses not a moment longer, Holley was


    nowhere to be seen. Panicking, he jumped to his feet and hurried out of the booth, hoping that he


    would still be able to catch up to Holley.


    Meanwhile, Holley hailed a taxi just right outside at the entrance of the hotel.


    The vehicle stopped in front of her, and as she was about to get into it, a loud voice reached her ears,


    calling out her name.


    "Miss Ye! Wait!"


    Holley turned around and immediately caught sight of ck, running towards her.


    Her eyes fell on the handsome ck and stuck like glue, making her heart race. Finally, ck reached


    her. He was standing tall in front of her, his shadow casting a long shade on the ground. As she stared


    at his well-structured face, her mind started to fly elsewhere.


    Deep inside, Holley was convinced that Charles was the only one she loved. She never fooled around


    with other men unless she had to.


    She knew that this rapid heartbeat wasn''t because she fell for ck. All she wanted from him was to


    get his shares in Tarsan Corporation. Moreover, there was no doubt that this promising, rich man


    admiring her made her feel good inside, because it was something she didn''t get from anyone else.


    Rachel imed that she was in love with Charles, but she never refused to have intimate rtionships


    with other men, making Holley think that her boss did not truly love Charles. That was one of the


    reasons she despised Rachel, and she always had been. It even infuriated her, because her im to


    love Charles felt like an insult to him.


    As for Holley, she thought that she was different from Rachel, and she believed that no one could ever


    top her love for Charles. She was convinced that her love for him was pure to the point that she was


    unwilling to make love with other men. She promised herself that she would wait for the day that she


    was going to be good enough for him. When that time came, she would give herself to him


    wholeheartedly and would treat him right, letting him fall in love with her more and more.


    Holley''s train of thought was interrupted when she felt like ck had just spoken. She turned to him


    and asked, "What?"


    ck looked at her and chuckled before repeating his words, "I asked where you were headed to. I can


    give you a ride." Under the bright lights of the hotel''s exterior, ck gazed at Holley intently with deep


    affection evident in his eyes. With a face and eyes like that, no one could have the heart to turn down


    such an attractive man''s offer.


    "Oh…Well, I… I just felt…suffocated inside the booth, so I just left without thinking of any ce to go.


    How about you?" As she spoke, she lowered her head shyly, not wanting to meet his eyes for hers


    might betray herself, which made her look slightly awkward.


    ck''s eyes widened a little as he caught the underlying meaning between her words. ''After all, she is


    a girl. Watching those men having fun with those women most probably made her ufortable, '' he


    spected.


    "Well, I don''t want to stay there, either. Would you like to take a walk with me? The night is still quite


    young," he replied, taking a quick nce at the night sky filled with stars as he tried to hide the


    nervousness in his voice.


    Since he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, it was unavoidable meeting a lot of women who


    tried to throw themselves at him, most clearly just for convenience. Thus, it was so long before that he


    couldn''t even remember thest time he felt serious about a woman and desired to be in a long-term


    rtionship with her as he did for the time being. He wondered if it was perhaps when he was about


    sixteen years old.


    Being with Holley made him wonder as well what was truly wrong with him or if these feelings were


    anyway. He could point out just by the look in her eyes that she was an ambitious woman, someone


    who would do anything to get what she wanted. Even then, he still could not help but fall in love with


    her at first sight to the point that there was that desire to have her burning inside him once more.


    He knew that he was slightly at a loss for obsessing her, but despite that, he felt more thrilled.


    Finally, Holley agreed before apologizing to the taxi driver. Soon after, the two had walked a great


    amount of distance along the street and stood beside each other with only a fist-length distance


    between their shoulders.


    Once again, ck stole nces at Holley from time to time. The moonlight embraced her face with


    such elegance that made her pretty face turn fairer. He felt her releasing a tender aura around, finding


    her even more lovely and appealing.


    He talked to her and asked her about random things, to which she responded absentmindedly,


    because she was busy thinking about how to ingratiate herself with him and trick him into transferring


    his shares to her.


    It was after many topics that ck sensed that Holley''s mind was elsewhere and preupied. He


    guessed that she was tired, so he offered to drive her home. She nodded in agreement. The drive was


    quiet but oddlyfortable for the two of them. Soon, they arrived at her apartment. ck hurried to


    open the door for Holley. She appreciated the gesture and thanked him. Before she could say goodbye,


    ck spoke.


    "Holley, do you have free time after work tomorrow? If you don''t mind, I want to go watch a movie with


    you. There is a new movie that I want to watch ever since it got released two days ago, but I got no one


    toe with me. So would you like to go watch it with me? I would really appreciate if you do."


    When it came to a rtionship, ck was always direct and aggressive. That was why he never


    faltered or even hesitated when he invited her to go to watch a movie with him.


    Holley gave a sweet smile, bewitching ck again. With fake interest, she replied sweetly, "Sure, I love


    watching movies. We can go to the cinema tomorrow."


    This was her strategy to fulfill her ns of getting to ck''s heart, slowly but surely. She wouldn''t push


    him away; at the same time she would let him know that she wasn''t just any loose woman he could


    easily y with.


    ck smiled back at her. Before he could say anything more, Holley spoke again. "Well, it''s getting


    a safe trip home." Holley smiled at him once more before turning her back at him, and got inside her


    house without even looking back.


    As ck watched Holley close the door behind her, he couldn''t help but feel slightly upset. He felt like


    something was missing in him.


    ''I won''t deny that I like this woman. In the past years, I have dated many women, but she is for sure the


    most special one I have met, and I will make sure to have her, '' he resolved before getting back into his


    car and drove home with a determined look on his face.


    Meanwhile, the next morning, Sheryl drove with the kids in her back seat. Not long after, she stopped


    the car as soon as they arrived at Eton Kindergarten. Before she let them go, she helped them put on


    their bags on their backs.


    Sheryl watched her two kids walk towards the gate where their teachers were greeting the children.


    rk and Shirley waved at her as they entered the gate.


    "Mom, look! The weather is good. Have a good day!" rk cried out before he walked any further


    inside.


    These caring words touched Sheryl''s heart. She managed to give out a slight smile, nodding back at


    her son.


    As soon as the kids were inside the building and out of her sight, Sheryl looked up at the vast, blue sky.


    ''The weather really is good. The sky is crystal blue with white fluffy clouds, floating way over our heads.


    Indeed, it is beautiful, '' she remarked,pletely entranced by the fascinating scene of nature. She


    closed her eyes and heaved a deep sigh, taking in the fresh air around her.


    Suddenly, the sound of a loud horn broke her reverie.


    Her eyes immediately opened, and her eyebrows arched. ''How rude of someone to honk near a


    kindergarten!'' she wondered. She followed the direction where the noise came from, spotting a car just


    a few blocks away from the school. She narrowed her eyes to see Nick, who was smiling just inside the


    car.


    "Sher!" Nick shouted, waving at her.


    His appearance took Sheryl by surprise. As she came back to her senses, she headed straight towards


    him.


    It had been such a long while since Sheryl saw Nick, and she thought perhaps, talking with him again


    might make her feel better and ease her mood up even just a little.
