Chapter 1282 A Song For You
"I do believe you. As for what happenedst night, I don''t me you. It was my own choice," Holley
said and blushed.
Suddenly, something seemed to have urred to her. She hastily got up from the bed, grabbed her
scattered clothes, and got dressed.
"Oops! We''ll have a board meeting tomorrow, but I haven''t prepared rtive documents and share
certificates." Naturally, she brought up the meeting as she had nned.
As she headed straight for the door, ck also got up from the bed and hugged her from behind.
"Don''t worry. You have me. I''ll transfer my shares to you," he assured her.
"Is that so? It''s too nice of you!" Holley eximed. She turned to face him, joyfully returned his hug and
pretended to be touched by his words. Her arms wrapped tightly around his waist in a sweet gesture of
gratitude, but her mind was in another ce.
The next day that Holley had long waited for finally came. Confidently and impably dressed, she
calmly waited in the conference room by herself.
When Rachel strutted into the meeting room, she was shocked to find that only she and Holley were
there. ''All of the shareholders are supposed to attend the meeting, but only Holley and I are here. Did
they reschedule it?'' she wondered as she took a seat.
"Ms. Bai, you''re wondering why the other shareholders didn''te, aren''t you?" Holley asked. "I''m
sure you''ll know what''s up after you see this."
With that, Holley pushed the paper across the desk to Rachel.
Meanwhile, Rachel felt a bad foreboding when she noticed the smirk on Holley''s lips.
She quickly opened the document, only to find that the dramatic changes in the proportion among the
shareholders.
At present, Holley was the biggest shareholder with a 40% stake of Tarsan Corporation, while Rachel
was the second-biggest shareholder.
Rachel''s face immediately nched when she saw the numbers. She was so shocked that she
repeatedly flipped over the document with trembling hands.
''What''s going on?'' she thought.
Rachel looked down on her because Holley didn''t have any shares in thepany back then. Even
though Holley had an excellent performance at work, Rachel never expected Holley to be a threat to
her one day.
In Rachel''s eyes, Holley was simply her errand girl.
Now, the tables had turned and she couldn''t believe what she saw.
At this point, she truly regretted helping Holley get out of prison. ''Looks like she nned this a long

time ago, '' Rachel thought.
She flipped over the pages once again, and a shareholder''s name suddenly caught her attention. It
was ck.
''Hmmm…'' Rachel cocked one eyebrow.
''He has twenty-five percent of the shares. If I can manage to get his, maybe I can change the situation,
'' she thought.
She was still in her thoughts when Holley''s voice interrupted her musings.
"And oh, Ms. Bai, I forgot to mention that you will not be the president of thispany anymore. I
guess I don''t need to exin the document to you. As for the project we have argued about, I oppose
it. I''m sure you''ll agree with me now, right?" Holley said in a triumphant tone.
"Holley, you''ve gone too far!" Rachel shouted. She could no longer endure Holley''s arrogance towards
her. When she heard her provoking remarks, she wanted to scream at the vile woman and tell her to
get lost.
However, Holley just smiled. "Rachel, I think you should call me Miss Ye now. You said that I was just
your servant, but now I''m looking forward to the new rtionship between us. How about you?" Holley
said coldly.
Holley''s eyes were devoid of any emotion.
"Don''t be so confident, Holley. I advise you not to jump to conclusions. You''ll never know what can
happen in the next second."
"I don''t think so. I''ve waited for this day toe for far too long, and now I finally got what I wanted.
Oh, I''m going to throw a party tonight to celebrate my promotion. Do you want toe?"
That was thest straw for Rachel. She red angrily at Holley once more, stood up, and mmed the
door when she got out. ''If I continued to face that woman, I might lose control and rip her into a million
pieces, '' she thought.
On the other hand, Holley didn''t give a damn about Rachel''s feelings. She remained in her seat and
reveled in the taste of victory.
Pleasure coursed through her when she saw Rachel leave like a deted balloon.
''She looked rejected. Soon, I''ll take charge of Tarsan Corporation. Rachel can''t snap at me or insult me
anymore, '' she thought.
Still, Holley felt humiliated when she thought about how mean Rachel had been to her.
Thus, her next step was to give Rachel a hard time and pressure her to resign from Tarsan
Corporation.
At that moment, Rachel felt so frustrated at Holley''s betrayal. She was dying to find someone to rant to,
but she didn''t know who to approach.
After she thought for a while, she realized that no one would want to keep herpany except for
Bernard.
And so, she called Bernard and asked him toe over. When she was done, she went to a bar
downtown and waited there.
Finally, Bernard had arrived. When he spotted Rachel, she was by the bar counter and had gotten
tipsy.
A guy tried to take advantage of Rachel, so Bernard gave him a stern look and scared him away. He
then walked towards her and took the ss of wine from her hand.
A stabbing pain shot through his heart when he saw how distressed Rachel was. "Rachel, you drank
too much. It breaks my heart to see you act like this," Bernard said miserably.
"You''re here, Bernard," Rachel said with a giggle. She threw herself into his arms, but several seconds
"You know what?" she started. "I''ve lost everything. Holley took everything from me. She is really a bad
person. What should I do?"
Bernard nced at the devastated Rachel, and he couldn''t help but me himself for being not able to
do anything about it. He wanted to wipe off her tears and make her stop crying, but he didn''t. He wasn''t
her boyfriend, so he thought that he wasn''t in a position to do those things.
Apart from holding her tight, he couldn''t find any other ways tofort her. He couldn''t even ask her to
cheer up because she still had him and he would always be there.
The loud music bumped from the floor and reached to the corner where Rachel and Bernard were.
They both remained silent and looked dejected under the dim lights.
"Let me drink, Bernard. It hurts, you know?" Rachel said and pointed at her heart. "Fine. Now that you
want to drink, I''ll join you," Bernard agreed.
He gave back the wine ss to Rachel, and asked the bartender for a bucket of beer. When the bucket
arrived, he uncorked a bottle and started to drink without saying a word. It seemed like drowning in
alcohol could make him forget all his bitter and sad feelings.
They drank until midnight, and then Bernard staggered out of the bar with Rachel in his arms. She
stopped crying, and he broke the silence.
"I want to sing a song for you, Rachel," Bernard said gently before he started to sing. It was the first
time that he had sung a song for someone.
Even in the peaceful night, he was in no mood to appreciate the beautifully bright moon. All he wanted
was to make his beloved girl happy and forget all the miserable things.
"Take me to your heart, take me to you soul, give me your hand before I''m old.
Show me what love is, haven''t got a clue. Show me that wonders can be true.
They say nothingsts forever. We''re only here today.
Love is now or never. Bring me far away. Take me to your heart, take me to your soul. Give me your
hand and hold me. Show me what love is, be my guiding star. It''s easy, take me to your heart…"
At that moment, it was only the two of them. No problems, no other people.
His soulful voice reverberated throughout the empty street, and made the night a bit lovelier.
After that, Bernard drove Rachel home and escorted her to her unit. Afraid that she might have a
headacheter, he went down to a nearby pharmacy. He bought some medicine before he went back
to her condo.
