Chapter 1283 The Supper
Bernard had meticulously prepared Rachel some honey water. Seeing her drunken state, he carefully
supported her to sit up on the bedfortably, so he could help her take medicine with the honey
water he previously concocted to clear the effect of the alcohol. Laying her down, he hastily made his
way towards the bathroom to get her a warm towel to wipe her face clean.
There was sadness and longing in his eyes as he watched her settle contentedly in the bed. And
despite the mix of sweat and tears, which ruined her make-up, he still found her enchanting,
heartbreakingly enchanting.
While Rachel had immersed herself in sorrow, Holley and her employees were having a st.
A grand and sumptuous banquet was currently hosted by her, where all the employees and the
shareholders of Tarsan Corporation were invited. Everyone looked happy and rxed at the festive
celebration as soft music dominated the venue. Soon, the entire Tarsan Corporation was informed
about the change of ownership of thepany.
"First, I would like to thank everyone for taking your precious time to attend this celebration at short
notice. From today onwards, I will be recing Rachel, to be the CEO of the Tarsan Corporation. I am
more than excited to consider this position. And in fact, I am looking forward to leading this sessful
here, to build a better Tarsan Corporation. Thank you!"
A thunderous round of apuse filled the room after Holley ended her short but meaningful speech.
Everyone weed the new boss.
ncing around at the employees, she felt satisfied with their reaction. A contented smile was
stered on her face. Now, everyone was informed that Rachel had been ousted from her position.
She wouldn''t be able to enjoy her privileges and the respect of thepany anymore.
In the middle of drinking and chatting, Holley felt everything happened was so unreal. She was totally in
a daze. She still couldn''t believe she finally realized her lifelong dream.
One by one, people came over to have a toast with her, and offered her non-stop congrattory
remarks, and she dly drank with each one of them.
"Congrattions, Miss Ye. You are indeed a capable woman!"
She was praised by a shareholder who had sold his shares to Holley.
"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Li. Thank you for your shares so that I can be who I am today."
It was the typical conversation between Holley and the shareholders. For the entire night, she was busy
with conversing with everyone that came to her.
However, still some employees found it weird that Holley assumed the role of the CEO in an instant.
Plus, Rachel didn''t attend this banquet. So they were more inclined to suspect that the two might have
some conflict. But it wasn''t a good idea to gossip about their boss in such a crucial asion, so they
just touched on this without delving into such a sensitive topic.
Moreover, this could be a good thing for Tarsan Corporation. After all, everyone knew how capable

Holley was.
Many of the people who were dissatisfied with the domineering way Rachel managed thepany
regarded it as good news. It seemed that the public also took it as a positive change of thepany,
as reflected by the surging share price of thepany after the broadcast of the information.
ck was apanying Holley throughout the celebration. Worried that Holley would be drunk, he
even offered to drink for her after she had too much to drink. That elicited some teasing from others,
who called him as the "guardian of the beauty."
Seeing her shining in the crowd, ck felt overwhelmingly proud and joyful. He even had the impulse
to announce to the world that such an outstanding woman belonged to him.
The banquet geared towards its end as the background music ceased slowly and all the attendants
started to leave. Holley was slightly drunk and was being held by ck. Then he assisted her to return
to her hotel room.
"Holley, I haven''tplimented you myself. Congrattions on being the new owner of Tarsan
Corporation! This is my small gift for you." As he was speaking, he took out a nice-looking little box and
scratched his head.
"Open it. I''m not sure if you will like it." Then he slowly ced the gift on Holley''s hand, refusing to let
her hand go as if he was enjoying the tender touch.
"Thank you." After a brief moment, she gradually opened the little box and was immediately drawn to
what was inside. She sobered up the moment she saw the crescent-shaped ne. It carried a
mystical and elegant sense in it as the gem sparkled and glistened under her touch. It felt smooth and
soft. And that was simply amazing.
Turning her head up, she gave ck an appreciative and excited nce.
"This is gorgeous. Thank you so much for your gift. I love it." Holley grinned. Her smile was so pure that
borne out of simple joy which attracted ck even more.
"Let me help you, Holley." ck leisurely drew closer to Holley, gently pinning her hair to the back of
her ears, revealing her white and tender neck. She exuded a delicate sense of beauty, which seemed
to mesmerize him. He was in a daze and seemed to have forgotten what he was supposed to do.
"What happened, ck?" It was when Holley asked that he finally realized he had stopped for quite a
while. He was indeed captivated.
"Nothing," he said softly.
ck unraveled the ne and circled it around Holley''s neck. He gazed at the back of her neck and
kissed on it as if stamping his mark on her. The air then suddenly turned romantic.
In Lu family''s residence, Nancy had just finished clearing the kitchen.
Feeling sleepy, she stepped out of the kitchen, heading to her own room. But she was surprised to find
Sheryling down the stairs.
"Sher, why are you not sleeping by now?" Nancy asked curiously.
Sheryl sheepishly smiled as she answered,"Charles ising home soon. And I want to cook supper."
"Let me do it. When Mr. Lues back, you can just bring it to him," Nancy suggested.
Sheryl shook her head and insisted that she would do it herself. "Nancy, it''s alreadyte. You should be
resting now. I''ll just cook some porridge that he likes."
"Well… Alright. Don''t tire yourself too much," Nancy nagged at her, worried for her health.
After Nancy went back to her own room, Sheryl stared at her phone and dreamily fell into her own
thoughts.
She received a call from Charles, just after she had showered and was about to hit her bed.
He spoke in a level tone, which made it hard for her to figure out his true emotions. But nevertheless,
she felt ted. It was the first time Charles called her after the ident happened with Melissa. For
her, even though he didn''t talk about any serious matter, nor did he say anything caring or sweet, she
just felt contented with the fact that he had called her.
The moment the call was ended, she hurriedly put on her coat and bolted out of her room, and soon
mentally nned to prepare him a delectable supper.
These past few days, he had been busy with both hispany and his mother. Moreover, he wasn''t
even sleeping in his own house recently, and it was a really tough period.
As Sheryl concentrated in washing the vegetable, she was already contemting about her n in her
heart that she would have a heart-to-heart talk with Charles. She wished to break the wall that was
separating their hearts, and hoped that they would be close once again just like the way they
were in the past.
A few minutester, she was done cooking. She had prepared chicken porridge, which was easy to
digest, and some sour radish that would act as an appetizer. She knew she had it nned well and
believed that Charles would surely enjoy the meal. And she felt excited more than ever.
