Chapter 189 It’s Easier For A Woman To Pursue A Man (Part Two)


    This woman had managed to see Rufus every day, but Cassandra could only see him once or twice a


    week at the most.


    She brought lunch to his office every day, but it was rare for him to eat any food that Cassandra


    cooked.


    Cassandra remembered the promise Rufus made to her the other day when he said that she was the


    only woman he loved, which sounded like a joke to her now or a dark joke, dangling in front of her face


    and smiling at her weirdly. Cassandra felt dizzy and started to rub her forehead.


    "What''s wrong with you, Cassandra? Are you okay?" Ste asked as she worried about her friend''s


    sudden change of demeanor.


    She noticed something strange about Cassandra. Her face turned pale and beads of sweat formed on


    her forehead.


    "Nothing, I''m fine. Do you, do you know the name of that woman?" Cassandra struggled through to


    ask.


    She was almost certain who the woman was, but was unwilling to ept it. She asked anyway as she


    hoped that Ste could give her a different name.


    When she decided to be together with Rufus, she prepared herself mentally for that. She knew that a


    lot of women were after him due to his standing and good looks. Cassandra understood all that.


    She had made up her mind to trust Rufus and believe everything he said to her. She took his promises


    seriously and was confident that she wouldugh at all the gossips about him.


    "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you! Her name is Amanda Ke, a very popr pianist who is living in G City


    now!" Ste snapped out.


    The name pushed Cassandra over the edge again. She stared at Ste''s mouth as she spoke but


    couldn''t hear any other words she said.


    Her nightmare hade true.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    The name being uttered to her felt like a sword stabbing into her heart and the pain was so great that it


    was difficult to breath.


    "Oh, I saw her in the public service advertisement," she gasped.


    Cassandra tried to act normal in front of Ste even with all the pain in her right now, but every word


    she spoke seemed to cost herst strength.


    She was almost out of breath, everything was a blur in her eyes and she couldn''t feel her arms and


    legs anymore.


    "More than an advertisement, Cassandra! The Government of G City is going to make her the


    spokesperson of the Industrial Tourism District. They said that they would be able to enter the


    international market with the help of Amanda''s global influence and position. Hoping this can improve


    the level of impact on the local tourism industry of the city. Oh, and they''re going to select another


    outstanding local entrepreneur to work with Amanda…" Ste kept talking.


    It seemed that Ste wouldn''t stop talking until the end of time. Cassandra felt her chest blocked up as


    if a heavy rock was ced on it.


    In the eyes of others, Amanda was talented and beautiful, and only a woman like her could stand by


    Rufus.


    Then, what about Cassandra?


    Except for Lionel and a few other people, no one actually knew about their rtionship.


    She looked at Ste and felt the urge to tell her to stop talking nonsense because Rufus was her man.


    However, she was unable to say a word about it because she wasn''t ready to see the expression on


    Ste''s face upon finding out about the truth. She was still scared and felt they''re not ready.


    In the minds of Ste and all other people, Rufus and Amanda was a perfect couple; they wouldn''t


    believe her even if she told the truth. They might think of her as a crazy person.


    It was ridiculous that she even told Lionel shepletely trusted Rufus, but now she realized that she


    had been yed as a fool since the beginning.


    They said that Amanda was pursuing Rufus and it was because they didn''t know him well enough. The


    truth was, if Rufus didn''t want to see a person or to do something, no one in this world could force him


    to do so, no matter how hard they tried.


    Since Amanda could enter his office freely and openly in front of all the employees every day, it meant


    that Rufus allowed her to do so; if he didn''t take Amanda seriously, it was impossible for him to agree.


    It turned out that Cassandra was the other woman, and the most stupid woman at that.


    "Cassandra, what''s the matter with you? You look rather pale. Let me take you to the hospital. I bet


    you''ve been working so hard recently. You''re not made of steel, my dear friend!" Ste said worriedly.


    She stopped talking, came over to Cassandra and examined her as a concerned friend.


    Cassandra felt a tingle in her eyes and tried hard to hold back her tears from flowing down.


    "Right, I''m justpletely exhausted. It''s nothing and I just need to sleep more," she exined and


    patted Ste on her shoulder.


    She cracked a smile to try and hide her sadness from her friend.


    "Okay, don''t stay here with me now. Go home and get some sleep. It''s very rare for you to take an


    afternoon off. Let''s eat seafood another time when you''re better. Let me send you back" Ste urged


    her.


    She then stood up to get changed, but Cassandra suddenly stopped her.


    "No, I can go back by myself. I can take a taxi and I''ll be okay after a good night''s sleep," she said with


    a smile on her face.


    She didn''t want Ste to worry about her anymore and refused her offer to drive her.


    Cassandra felt that she was lucky to have someone to care for her and love her, but thest thing she


    wanted was to trap them in her own despair.


    If someone needed to be trapped, she preferred to be that person and take all the misery alone.
