Chapter 146 Love Whoever She Wants


    Rain''s face changed on hearing Aaron''s words. He might be right. Who would wait for someone


    forever? It was expected for Annie to fall in love with someone else. As the saying goes, ''Time will tell''.


    "She can love whoever she wants. It''s her own choice, isn''t it?" Rain pretended that he didn''t care, but


    it was painful for him.


    "Hey, there they are." Aaron stopped talking as he saw employees of C Financial Group approaching


    them. He felt strange to discover that Annie was missing. ''Has she really met someone and decided to


    dump Rain?'' Aaron couldn''t help but wonder.


    "Nice to meet you! I''m Aaron Qiao, special assistant to the CEO of FX International Group. Wee to


    S City." Observing Rain was distracted, Aaron stepped up and introduced himself. His boss was wise to


    anticipate this, that''s probably why he had asked Aaron to apany Rain.


    "Nice to meet you, too. I''m Ferk, CFO of C Financial Group. This is my personal assistant, Bev."


    "Where is Annie? Won''t she be joining us today?" Rain asked broodingly. He had mixed feelings. He


    was nervous to see her, but when she didn''t show up, he was scared. The turmoil within him had driven


    him to such a strong sense of loss that he forgot his manners.


    "Mr. Rain, d to see you again. Miss Annie came here to see you yesterday. Haven''t you met her


    yet?" As a senior employee of C Financial Group, Ferk knew Rain well. He wasn''t upset about Rain''s


    unseemliness.


    "What? She was here yesterday? Howe I didn''t see her?" A figure suddenly shed through


    Rain''s mind. Was Annie the woman he had seen in the barst night? He shook his head. Impossible.


    Annie was too lively; she couldn''t be that quiet and urbane beauty. He was sure that woman wasn''t her,


    though he had just caught a glimpse of her.


    "Yes. She was nning toe with us, but then she changed her mind and came here before us."


    Ferk looked at Rain bemusedly. He wondered, ''didn''t Annie contact Rain? She asked for Mr. Rain''s


    address. Then why didn''t they get in touch? If she couldn''t find his address, she could have visited FX


    International Group.''

    Rain rubbed his forehead anxiously. ''She is new in this city. Where could she go? Was she kidnapped?


    Who would know that she''s the daughter of C Financial Group''s CEO in such a short time?''


    "Was the bodyguard with her?" That was thest hope. In the past few years, she liked Rain so much


    that she would have contacted him if nothing was wrong. But she hadn''t. What did that mean?


    "No. Miss Annie said she wanted to be alone. She also said she would contact you as soon as she


    arrived. We thought everything would be fine, so we didn''t send the bodyguard with her." Ferk also


    began to worry about her. Everybody knew that Annie was the heir of C Financial Group. If something


    happened to her in S City, her father would burn the city to the ground.


    "How could you let her go alone?" Rain ruefully punched the post beside him. His frustration was


    perceptible.


    "That''s what Miss Annie is. There was nothing we could do about it," Ferk exined in a low voice.


    Knowing Annie fancied this man, he respected Rain and didn''t mind his yelling.


    "Mr. Rain, let''s go to the office first, we''ll talk about thister." Aaron was careful about ranks in clients''


    presence, so he called him Mr. Rain instead of Rain.


    Rain frowned at the clients. At the same time, he also med Annie for her naivety, and swore to


    punish her when he found her.


    "It seems we have to do so. You go with them. I''ll ask Luke to help me find her." Without even looking


    at Ferk and the others, he hastened into a trot and left the hall of the airport, with an arrogant


    expression on his face.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Ferk. Mr. Rain isn''t usually like this. He is worried about Miss Annie," Aaron apologized.


    ''Moments ago he pretended that he didn''t care for her at all, but now that Annie is missing, he is really


    worried. Who will believe that he doesn''t like her?''


    "That''s OK, Mr. Aaron. We understand that he is worried." Actually, Ferk was not as worried as Rain.


    He had noticed that Annie had changed a lot in recent years. She was not as innocent and sweet as


    before. She had be a totally different person. He thought it had something to do with the fact that


    Mr. Rain had left her without saying goodbye years ago.


    Rain''s posh sports car kept shiftingnes in the traffic. There was stiffness on his handsome face. The


    charming, tender eyes examined the road. The sensuous lips were tightly closed. The ear studs


    sparkled and shadowed as if to harmonize with his current state of mind, which was anxious and fretful.


    To him, Annie was still an innocent little girl, beautiful and always smiling. Perhaps he had forgotten


    that time changed many things.


    The car drew a sharp curve and parked in front of FX International Group''s building. Rain walked in


    grimly. The female employees were ustomed to Rain''s cheeky grins and flirtation; they had never


    seen him so disconcerted. They suspected something awful must have happened.
