Chapter 219
This day, Becky had a dinner party. She ran into Rory and his assistant a few moments after she
had left the private room.
They were suddenly facing each other. Becky was sure Rory had gotten the hint that she did not
want to greet him in any way.
Talia felt much the same as Becky.
It was a very wide corridor at the hotel, so it would be no problem for the four people to pass by
each other.
Even with the wide corridor, Becky took extra precautions and subconsciously walked in her high
heels to the far side. She did not want to bump into Rory. The hallway was much toorge for that to
happen, as it was about six meters wide.
Becky held out hope that they could have an encounter much like two strangers. She wondered
how she would manage it but then decided to stop worrying about it and continued to walk by Rory.
Unfortunately, Rory suddenly spoke to her, just as Becky feared. She did not have any desire to
acknowledge his words.
She did not stop or look back.
She thought she handled the situation well. The night would have gone off without a hitch if Rory
had not walked back in her direction to catch up with her.
Becky felt frustratione over her as Rory ruined her night.
“Sir, do we know each other?”
Becky uttered the words as she spun around and looked at Rory frigidly. She red at him as if she
had never seen him before in her life.
Rory’s heart felt like it was being stabbed. He took a deep breath to calm himself, then said, “I’ve
told you about Devin. He does not have good intentions with you.”
Becky graced him with a sarcastic smile. “Sir, you are not in any position to tell me anything.”
Rory ignored her frostiness. “I will help you if you need me to.”
He said this in a kind tone, looking at her intently.
Becky could do little but sneer. “No, thank you. I think you need more help than I do.”
Her hand came up as she pointed a finger at her head. “There’s something really wrong with you.”
Not waiting for a reply, Becky turned around and began to walk away.
Rory knew Becky was angry with him by her strong reaction. He continued to look at her as she
walked away, barely holding in his anger. Before she was gonepletely, he couldn’t help but give
thest warning. “Devin is heartless, Becky.”
Becky did not have any outward reaction to his words. She kept walking and quickly vanished
around the corner of the corridor.
Rory looked at Lowell.
There was nothing Lowell dared to say. If he could have hidden behind the wall, he would have.
Rory’s mood had been terribletely. He had wanted to skip the dinner party altogether but decided
to go at thest moment. It was an ident that he met Becky in the corridor.
“I’m not going into the dinner party. Go without me.”
Rory left and began walking the same way Becky had gone.
Becky made it into the elevator and watched the doors close in front of her. She thought about
Rory’s hypocritical statement.
It was ironic to hear Rory say that Devin was heartless. He was no better.
The elevator quickly reached the first floor. The doors slid open.
Devin stood there in front of her. It was amazing that in one day, she ran into both Rory and Devin.
“What a coincidence to see you here, Becky.” Devin addressed her before she could react.
Becky smiled and replied. “Indeed, it is.”
She nodded politely and stepped out of the elevator.

There was no reason for her to say anything to Rory. With Devin, however, a brief greeting should
be enough.
“Becky,” Devin said as she moved past him.
Becky stopped and couldn’t believe how the day had unraveled. Both Rory and Devin wanted to talk
to her.
Becky didn’t want to ignore Devin’s words the way she had with Rory. They were still friends, after
all.
Becky turned around and looked at Devin.
She smiled faintly. “Is there anything else?”
