Chapter 1285 Rachel''s Intention


    Half an hourter, Rachel was ready to go out. She looked great in a ck dress, which emphasized


    her curvy figure. Make-up was applied delicately. And, shepleted her outfit with her favorite stiletto


    heels.


    At the Hu Group


    When the Hu Group became an empire, its building became one of thendmarks of the city. The view


    of the city from the top was breathtaking. As Rachel stepped out of her car, she realized that she had

    never taken a good look at it before.


    After passing through the doors and the security, she walked to the concierge and smiled at the young


    here to meet Mr. Hu."


    Rachel beamed at the receptionist as she spoke.


    Anyone who saw her shing her best smile would be thinking of her being an apparition of an angel.


    And, the receptionist was not an exception. The youngdy was so dazzled by Rachel''s smiling face.


    Without hesitation, she picked up the phone and dialed ck''s private line.


    The callsted only for a couple of seconds.


    "Ms. Bai, Mr. Hu is already waiting for you in his office. Please proceed to the fifth floor."


    "Thank you very much."


    The person who answered the receptionist''s call was no one but ck. When the phone rang, he


    already expected it to be Racheling to see him.


    Whatever reason Rachel had ining today was a mystery to him.


    "Good morning, Mr. Hu. I am Rachel Bai. It''s so nice to finally meet you!" Since it was their first


    meeting, Rachel acted ordingly. She gave him her best polite smile. It surprised her to see how


    young ck was. Knowing the wealth he amassed, she expected him to be in his mid-thirties or early


    forties.


    In a sh, many thoughts crossed Rachel''s mind.


    "Nice to meet you too. So, may I have the honor to know why you came here?" ck was surprised to


    see Rachel. Thanks to Holley, he knew so much about her that he didn''t have a good impression of her.


    Though he tried to look patient with her, inside his mind, he could not wait for the meeting to finish. His


    guard was up for any inappropriate antics the girl had up her sleeves.


    "Well, I heard a lot about you. And, to be direct, I want to know why you didn''t show up at the board


    meeting in the Tarsan Corporation the other day." Upon hearing her, ck already knew her intention.


    Whatever her agenda was, he was one hundred percent sure that Rachel failed during the board


    meeting. And, she came to see him in the hope of gaining his assistance to achieve her own interest.


    He almost failed to hide his evil smirk. He concealed it by forcing a polite smile. Then, he answered


    ndly, "I happened to be busy that day. So I decided to skip that meeting."


    Understanding the underlying meaning of ck''s reply, Rachel knew that he had no intention of


    supporting her over the board matter. But, she didn''t give up easily. Using her charms, she started to


    move towards him. ck noticed right away the change in her.


    There was also a sudden change in ck. His facial expression reflected his alertness in him. Before


    Rachel got too close, he quickly took a step back. A sign that he did not approve. A rejection.


    Seeing ck''s reaction, Rachel got irritated. At the same time, it made her confused. ck''s actions


    were the opposite of the usual reaction she got when she worked her charms on men. She knew that


    men had primal urges and could easily be aroused by any sexual insinuations made by women. Then,


    what went wrong with ck? What she didn''t know was not all men could give in so easily. She was


    right. Men had the urges. But men could also control themselves. And ck was one of those men


    who had control over their own bodies.


    Aiming for another shot in the art of seduction, Rachel pretended not to notice what just happened.


    This time, she shed him her angelic smile. In a sultry voice, she said, "Mr. Hu, we are both the


    shareholders of Tarsan Corporation and we meet for the first time. Isn''t it just right for us to get to know


    each other more? Why don''t we go to lunch together? I hope you are avable."


    Knowing what she was trying to do, he was now on the verge of losing his patience. He realized now


    that it was wrong for him to treat her nicely and politely. It would have been better if he had told her


    from the start that there was nothing she could do to change his mind. And anyway, it was also


    impossible to ept her invitation. He already had a lunch date with Holley.


    To the best he could, he managed a polite refusal on Rachel''s lunch invitation.


    "Oh, perhaps another time then. Let''s schedule it next time when you are not too busy anymore. To


    make it easier to contact each other, why don''t we exchange phone numbers?"


    So disappointed, Rachel could not do anything anymore. Instead, she settled with getting a phone


    number.


    She never expected ck to be a tough guy. This was her first time to fail. Thus, she was starting to


    doubt her charm.


    As soon as she left ck''s office, she was already nning her next moves. ck was herst hope.


    All she had to do was find a way to get him. And, she had to do it fast! Or else, all her efforts would be


    for nothing.


    ''Take it easy! Men have their weaknesses. I just need to find them. No matter how tough they are, I can


    easily get to them and tame them to be my pets!''


    In the following days, ck always saw Rachel in different sexy dresses. Once, he saw her at the gym


    while he was working out in the exercise room. On another asion, he saw her at the pool in her


    skimpiest bikini, waving at him.


    ck felt really bothered and harassed. He saw through Rachel''s cheap n, but he did not say


    anything anymore. He felt that it would disgrace and anger her So what he did the next time Rachel


    appeared in front of her was to quickly turn around and walk away.


    Despite Rachel''s best efforts, she knew ck didn''t appreciate her. It made Rachel feel more puzzled.


    At the same time, she felt more motivated to get him. She believed that no man could resist her beauty


    and charms. So the more insensitive ck reacted, the more eager she became to get him. She


    believed that one day he would lose. However, it was not until she saw the chilly expression in his eyes


    that she finally realized ck''s mockery of her. Finally, she discontinued her plot.


    All she did at the present was stay at home doing nothing. Days passed by and she could not bear the


    boredom anymore. Being alone for quite a long time was driving her crazy. Atst, she decided to get


    back to Tarsan Corporation.


    From being a manager, she was now only deputy manager. The demotion left her humiliated. It was


    another reason why she decided to stay at home. She could not bear the strange looks and snickers of


    the employees. Those made her angrier. Moreover, she hated to work with Holley and listen to her.


    When Rachel entered the building, staff already were everywhere, busy with their own work. She


    walked straight to the direction of her table, not gazing at the people around her.


    She felt all eyes were boring at her through her back. If looks could kill, she would have been dead


    right now. Also, harsh talks circted once again in the work area.


    "Look! Our deputy manager, Rachel Bai, has already returned. Does she really need toe back


    today? She stayed away for a long time. Does she still care about thepany?" The mockery came


    from a female staff. She used to be Rachel''s assistant but was treated very badly. She was never


    spared even from just small mistakes.


    "Look, watch your mouth. Thest time somebody talked badly of her, she reduced the poor guy''s


    sry. Anyway, she is here now. So, stop questioning her devotion to thepany. Perhaps, she dealt


    with something personal that has kept her busy for quite some time." Trying hard to convince the girl to


    leave Rachel alone, the male colleague couldn''t stop himself from giving the ex-assistant a piece of


    advice.


    "Have some nerves to speak up! Don''t be a coward! She is no longer our general manager now! She


    doesn''t have the right to order us to do whatever she wants anymore. Why should we still be sacred of


    her?" However, the ex-assistant couldn''t help but continue to rant. But this time, with voice lowered


    down when she thought of that poor guy.


    Meanwhile, in her office, Rachel walked back and forth, trying to calm herself. But no matter how hard


    she tried, she could not will herself to settle down. She was displeased with her new office. This was


    too small for her liking, and made her depressed. The smell also disgusted her.


    To lift her spirit up, she picked up her phone and sent ck a message.


    "Good morning, Mr. Hu. I found a very cozy restaurant nearby. Are you avable this afternoon? Maybe


    we can have lunch there together."


    A few minutes after sending the message, she was still not in the mood to work. Instead, her attention


    shifted to the phone, waiting for a reply.


    Not even a single page was finished reading. She even tried to sleep. But still, no luck! Worse, there


    was no reply from ck. This almost made her die of boredom.


    ''Staying here is not also a good idea. I should probably just go home, '' she thought to herself, as she


    yed with her face making different expressions. Then, she jumped to her feet, grabbed her handbag


    and left her office.


    When she reached the parking lot, she spotted ck. She was really surprised to see him here. Before


    she could call him out, she saw ck approaching a woman and pulling her in his arms tightly.


    Rachel''s mouth opened wide as shock registered. She was unable to speak nor move.


    When the woman looked up at ck''s handsome face, she clearly saw who she was. To her


    amazement, the woman ck was embracing firmly was no other than Holley!
