Chapter 155


    Rory hadn’t lied to Elmore. He did indeed have a lunch appointment.


    But he just showed up with Lowell. Then, he left the private room, leaving the whole thing to Lowell.

    Tasty Delights had ayout that made sure that every private room was independent. A stone


    corridor connected these rooms. It was now spring, the trees and the blooming flowers outside the


    corridor making this entire scene all the more beautiful.


    It was a great view, but Rory didn’t have the time to appreciate it.


    There was a small pavilion at the side of the corridor, a special smoking area. Rory spotted it,


    paused for a moment, and walked towards it.


    It was a remote space, far away from the corridor. Employees passing by rarely noticed if anyone


    was inside it.


    Ordinary people could not afford the private rooms on the first floor. Only the powerful and rich


    people had them within reach.


    Two waitresses, who were on their breaks, were resting at the end of the corridor. They didn’t notice


    Rory smoking in the pavilion.


    There were only three private rooms in the whole yard, which were used only to receive special


    guests. Ordinary people couldn’t get in. These two waitresses leaned against the wall and gossiped


    with each other.


    “Well… Did you see that? Wasn’t that Devin and Becky? The day before yesterday, the paparazzi


    snapped a photo of Devin carrying Becky in his arms at the hospital. People are guessing that they


    are now together.”


    “I rechecked before leaving. It was really Becky and Devin! They are a good-looking pair, honestly. I


    think they deserve each other. It’s a good thing if they are together. There has been a lot of news of


    late on the Inte about Rory and his true love. Raina! He only married Becky to get rid of the


    other women his family was choosing for him. When Raina returned, he divorced Becky. I didn’t like


    Becky at first, but she seems to have changed into a wholly different person after the divorce. She’s


    so beautiful and cool. Have you seen the video of her ying the drums? God! I almost fell in love


    with her!”


    “I have seen that video! Anyway, they look perfect together. But I’ve heard that Devin and Rory are


    deadly enemies. If Becky does get together with Devin, things could get interesting.”


    The yard was empty. The two waitresses’ voices were at a low, steady pitch, but Rory could hear


    them clearly from where he was.


    The waitresses became more and more excited as they chatted. “I’m very optimistic about this


    couple!” one of them said.


    Rory stood there, the hand holding the cigarette jerking and his eyes darkening. He walked up to


    the ashtray, put the cigarette out, and walked into the corridor.


    “Someone ising!”


    The waitresses were shocked at the sound of the footsteps. Their shock and guilt deepened when


    they turned around to see that Rory wasing their way. They hurriedly left, pushing the cart


    before them, their eyes fixed on the ground.


    Rory watched them leave, their wordsing back to him and filling him with depression and


    difort.


    Their words seemed to bring back to him the memory of Devin emerging from the hospital with


    Becky in his arms.


    It had only been a nce.


    But when he thought back to that moment, he could clearly remember Becky leaning against


    Devin’s arms and closing her eyes in a peaceful way that he had never seen before.
