Chapter 87 Attracted To Someone


    Rick''s uncle had made great effort to take thepany away from Rick''s father.


    However, Rick came back when his uncle was at his worst. He bought thepany shares from others


    at a very low price.


    After approaching several major shareholders and the board of directors secretly, Rick sessful


    forced his uncle to abdicate.


    Moreover, Rick had also taken back the vi from his uncle.


    That was why Rick was going to hold the party in this vi—to dere that he was the new owner of


    the vi and thepany.


    After walking with Rachel, Lea and Lucas for quite a while, Rick led them to the buffet hall. Then,


    someone came and whispered something to Rick. It seemed that someone important had arrived.


    Rick nodded and snapped his fingers to get the attention of the waiter nearby. After talking with the


    waiter, he turned to the three of them and excused himself.


    "I''ll excuse myself for now. Enjoy the party," he said with a graceful smile.


    "Don''t worry about us, we can manage here," Lea answered.


    She nted a sweet smile on her face.


    When Rick turned around and left, Lea was about to say something, but a waiter came to serve them


    drinks. So, she waited for the waiter to leave first before she spoke. "Lucas is here to have a blind date


    with his sister, and yet he brought us with him. Why is Rick still so polite to us?"


    Lea felt embarrassed because of Rick''s politeness.


    "Would you like him to kick you out?" asked Lucas.


    "Well, if he came back and drove me away, I wouldn''t hesitate to leave immediately," she answered


    with a smile. As she spoke, Lea looked around curiously.


    There were not so many people in the buffet hall. Most of them were standing in small groups like them


    and having a chat. There was nothing interesting in particr.


    Lucas checked the time on his watch and said, "Let''s find a ce to sit. There may be a showter."


    Lea winked at Rachel.


    She then turned to Lucas and teased him, "Why don''t you go and see how Miss Ying looks like?"


    "Lea!" Lucas snapped.


    Seeing that Lucas got annoyed, Lea stuck out her tongue at him.


    "Rachel and I will go somewhere else. You can look around by yourself," she added.


    She then grabbed Rachel''s hand and rushed away. "Let''s eat something," she suggested to Rachel.


    "You''re acting so strange today,"ined Rachel. "Why do you keep on reminding Lucas of that


    blind date? You are already pissing him off." They were already far from Lucas so he wouldn''t hear


    them anymore.


    Lea pursed her lips disapprovingly and asked, "Aren''t you afraid that Lucas will be taken away by


    another woman?"


    Rachel rolled her eyes at her and said in a low voice, "Why would I? I don''t own him, okay? Stop


    making fun of us anymore."


    "When did I make fun of you?" Lea was somewhat confused.


    "When we were in the car." Rachel reminded her of what she did earlier.


    "Oh, that. I''m just trying to make you two get closer," Lea defended herself.


    "You are just making troubles."


    Lea was speechless for a moment. After contemting for a short while, she said, "I''m just kidding. I


    won''t do it again."


    "Don''t make us feel embarrassed. It''s making us ufortable," Rachel said seriously.


    Noticing the seriousness in her voice, Lea promised, "It won''t happen again, I swear."


    And then she added in a low voice, "But I don''t think I did something to embarrass you."


    Rachel didn''t know what to say anymore. She cleared her throat and said, "Okay, that''s enough."


    If Lea like someone, she would expression her feelings straightforwardly.


    Lea was a little disappointed that Rachel had been hiding her feelings from Lucas. But then she


    realized, it wasn''t really necessary to force them to like each other. After all, they were old enough to


    decide for themselves.


    Since the party was not going to start soon, Rachel and Lea began to enjoy food.


    The food on the buffet table looked sumptuous. The desserts were all mouthwatering. They were


    especially cut into smaller bits so it was very convenient for women to eat and maintain a graceful look


    at the same time.


    As a stewardess assigned to business ss, Lea had already tried various kinds of desserts on the


    ne, so she had little interest in them.


    Rachel was contemting which desserts had less sugar based on their appearance, so she was


    staring at them intently. She wasn''t paying attention to her surroundings. All of a sudden, Lea


    whispered in her ear, "Rachel, look at Lucas'' direction."


    She looked up and nced at the direction where Lucas was. Her facial expression changed slightly.


    The buffet hall was definitely amazing. Its brightly lit ceiling was hung down a little. Near the entrance,


    there was a fake hill that was covered with fog.


    There was also a well-decorated spring where the artificial spring water was flowing. However, they


    were not the focus of Rachel''s attention.


    "Lea, am I really seeing it right? Or maybe I am just mistaken." Rachel squinted to make sure she was


    seeing things clearly. "Why does the man standing there look like Jack?" she asked again.


    She turned to look at Lea and they exchanged nces. "Yeah, it''s him," confirmed Lea. What a


    coincidence!


    She didn''t expect that Jack would also be here.


    Lea shook her head and said, "Now, this is something interesting."


    They didn''t know that something more exciting was going happen at today''s party.


    And the party wasn''t really that big so all the invited guests mostly knew each other. In short, this could


    be called "friends gathering."


    Rachel thought that it was really such a small world because a few minutes after she saw Jack,


    Michael


    Marcus and Henry also came into sight.


    Although she wasn''t sure if they had seen her, Rachel did her best to avoid meeting them.


    Rick had invited a lot of business partners. But apparently, the businessmen didn''te here to have


    fun just like her and Lea.


    She suddenly remembered that this party was held to announce Rick''s partnership with some big


    hospitals in Ninwell City. And there was another banquet hall on the second floor for those people.


    Probably many business people like Jack came there solely for business purpose and not to socialize


    with others. So, perhaps he hadn''t notice her presence there.


    Rachel was already surprised to see those men she knew but she was even more surprised to see


    someone familiar twenty minutester. That someone was the woman she saw with Celine in the store


    offering maternal and infant products before.


    She couldn''t help wondering if she would also meet Celine here today.


    More and more people had arrived until the banquet hall was almost fully upied. Rachel and Lea


    walked around to look for Lucas but they couldn''t find him. When the party had finally started, Rick


    appeared and spoke on the stage so everyone paid attention to him.


    There was still no sign of Lucas. Lea tried to call him but his phone was off. They couldn''t do anything


    but just watch the people around them, hoping that one of them would be Lucas.


    "Maybe he got attracted to someone and went out with her," Lea spected.


    Rachel shook her head as she found Lea''s idea ridiculous. But she still asked, "And who could that


    be?"


    "He was talking with a beautiful woman a while ago, right? They even looked good together." Lea


    remembered that a woman approached Lucas earlier and they had a chat.


    "Your imagination is really amazing,"mented Rachel unbelievably.


    They were in the middle of their conversation when a voice behind them suddenly cut in. "Hello,


    beautifuldies."


    Rachel turned around and she was a little surprised with what she saw.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    "Michael?"


    Actually, it wasn''t only Michael. Rachel failed to notice that Marcus and Henry were also behind him.


    When she realized it, she began to wonder if Jack was with them too.


    She looked around to search for Jack.


    "It''s you!" Lea suddenly blurted. At that time, Henry, who was whispering something to Marcus, looked


    at Lea and surprise was suddenly written all over his face.


    "Do you know each other?" asked Rachel, shifting her gaze from Lea to Henry.


    She felt like this was the most dramatic day of her life.


    It seemed that some stories were about to be revealed in this banquet. Was there something between


    Lea and Henry?


    As for Lea, it was rather surprising. She met Henry for the first time in one of her flights thousands of


    miles away from this ce. She hadn''t expected that their second meeting would be in this banquet.


    Such a small world indeed!


    Was it another coincidence? Someone very close to Rachel and one of Jack''s friends happened to


    know each other.


    Obviously, it was fate that led Lea and Henry to meet again. Even though they had only met once, they


    were both able to recognize each other immediately.


    All of a sudden, Lea and Henry held their sses and walked towards the balcony. They needed a


    ce where they could talk in private.


    Michael was a little dumbfounded as he watched his friend leaving them for a beautifuldy. He pointed


    at their direction and asked Rachel, "Do you have other beautiful friends like her? Maybe you can


    introduce one to me too." Rachel found Michael hrious so she couldn''t helpughing.


    "Ha-ha! Unfortunately, there''s no one else." Michael leaned on Marcus and massaged his chest in an


    exaggerated way.


    "Ouch! My heart hurts," he said helplessly.


    Marcus pushed him away and said expressionlessly, "That''s none of my business, dude!"


    Among the three men, Rachel was more familiar with Michael, but she didn''t know that he had this


    funny side.


    Looking at Michael and Marcus making fun of each other, she couldn''t help but chuckle.


    They were not aware that two pairs of eyes were watching them for quite a while now. They were Rick


    and Jack.


    "That woman came here with Lucas earlier," Rick said to Jack. He didn''t know that Rachel was Jack''s


    wife.


    "With Lucas?" Jack asked casually as he shook the wine ss in his hand.
