Chapter 609 An Old Acquaintance


    "See a friend? Who is it?" When George asked. George was surprised to know that Holley meant to


    meet someone because as far as he knew, Holley didn''t know anyone here. Holley had told him before


    that she didn''t have any acquaintances here.


    "Don''t ask too much. I won''t take long." Instead of answering George''s questions, Holley hurriedly


    kissed him on the cheek and said herst words,"I''ll be back soon."


    Actually, Holley was in a hurry because Ferry told her that Le was waiting for her. It had been three


    years since shest heard about her. She didn''t have any idea if everything had been well for Le


    these past years.


    Holley once considered Le as an enemy. But now that they had the same goal, she wanted to treat


    her as a friend.


    Just like what the saying goes, ''The enemy of my enemy is my friend.'' Now they would be working


    together against amon enemy.


    Now that Charlie was taken by Charles, Le''s chance of getting together with Charles became


    impossible. She felt bad that all her efforts to be a single mother these past years had just gone to


    waste.


    That was why she called Ferry to asked for help. She told him that Autumn was still alive.


    Ferry was exasperated when he heard the news. But he tried his best to stay calm. He instructed Le


    to go to a certain ce and wait for someone who used to be her acquaintance.


    Le thought hard but she couldn''t really figure out who Ferry was referring to. She couldn''t tell who


    this old acquaintance really was.


    Le had been waiting for half an hour now but no one arrived yet. She got impatient so she finished


    the cup of coffee she ordered and prepared to leave. However, before she could stand up, a beautiful


    woman suddenly sat down beside her. She was wearing a pair of sunsses and looked a little


    restless.


    Le stared at the woman trying to analyze her. She wanted to recall if she had ever seen this woman


    before. But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn''t really remember her so she asked in an


    unfriendly tone,"Excuse me, you may have gotten the wrong table."


    "I came here for you," the woman replied firmly. Holley removed her sunsses and looked into Le''s


    eyes. "You look much older than before."


    Holley stared at Le intently while thetter also did the same. After a while, Le shook her head and


    frowned. She said,"I''m sorry. I really don''t know you. You are?"


    "Le, you are still so blind and silly! I find it so ridiculous for a woman like you to dream of marrying


    Charles!" Holley didn''t care if Le couldn''t recognize her. She just said what she had been wanting to


    say. Holley''s voice was stinging satire.


    Suddenly, Le remembered someone who had the same expression and tone as this woman beside


    her. Le couldn''t help but shudder upon recognizing her. "Y... Yvonne?" she stuttered. She couldn''t


    believe her eyes.


    "Yes, it''s me!" Holley admitted frankly. Since she already considered Le as an ally, there was no need


    to hide from her anymore. "Nice to see you again, Le," she said.


    "Oh! You''re really Yvonne!" Le said, her eyes bulging in surprise. Then she added,"It has been


    three... no... four... It had been four years that we haven''t seen each other. How have you been? Why

    do you look so different?" Le asked a lot of questions. She was still overwhelmed with shock.


    Le sat closer to Holley and whispered,"Did you have a stic surgery?" When Holley was


    nonreactive, Le continued,"You look more beautiful than before." She couldn''t help scanning the


    woman''s face beside her. "However, there are still some signs of surgery left on your face. They don''t


    look natural."


    Le looked at Holley''s face in awe. She asked Holley more,"The stic surgery must have cost a lot


    of money, right?"


    Le stretched out her arm and was about to touch Holley''s face but she was stopped by her midway.


    Holley loathed,"Get your dirty hand off me!"


    Le felt a little embarrassed. With a hurt voice, she asked,"We used to be friends, remember? Isn''t it


    inappropriate for you to speak to me that way?"


    Le''s voice was full of conviction. "We''re on the same boat now. We''re on the same situation. Should


    you really despise me?"


    Holley gave Le a cold smile. "I think you have forgotten who you are. Don''t forget that you are just


    my partner. You should only follow my orders. You have no right to express your opinions or ask


    questions. Just mind your own business. Don''t get yourself involved in things not rted to you. Do you


    understand?"


    "What nonsense are you talking about?" Le suddenly stood up. She felt furious after hearing what


    Holley said. "As I have said, we''re on the same boat and we have the same goal. So why should I just


    listen to you? Who do you think you are?" They were rivals back then so it was just normal for them to


    have resentments toward each other.


    But how could they work together if they still acted like this?


    Holley sneered and said to Le,"You can call that man who told you toe here if you don''t believe


    me."


    Le hesitated for a moment but eventually called Ferry. Unfortunately, Ferry just confirmed what


    Holley told her. She felt so bad. "Why should I listen to her?" What Ferry replied seemed to be


    uneptable because she firmly shouted,"No! I couldn''t do it!"


    What she needed was someone to help her, not a boss to only give her orders.


    "Le!" Ferry rebuked her. "You need her help to achieve your goal. Think it over. I have already given


    you the easiest way. But if you want to waste your time and energy looking for other ways, go ahead!"


    Ferry paused for a moment and continued,"If you want Yvonne to help you, you must listen to her. Take


    her orders as mine. If Ie to know that you make your own move, I wouldn''t let you go!"


    "Oh, I have forgotten something," Ferry added. "You have lost Charlie now. That means, you have also


    lost your chance to be with Charles. That must have made your goal more difficult to achieve. So, why


    not give it a try if you could make it without my help."


    Le was convinced by Ferry''s words. She frowned while Ferry was still trying to persuade


    her,"Everything would change if you cooperate with Yvonne. She''s the future wife of BM Corporation


    CEO. She has the wealth and the position that you need. And even Autumn is working for her so it


    would be easy for her to help you achieve your desire."


    Ferry left some time for Le to decide. A little whileter, Le agreed and said,"Fine! I would listen to


    her. I''d do anything for her as long as she could help me."


    "Okay, that''s it!" Ferry said with satisfaction. Then he urged her,"Now, go back and talk to her. It''s your


    time to make a n together."
