"Michelle, there are so many good men in the world. Why did you fall for a blockhead? You''ll regret it soon," Rain said with a teasing smile as he looked back and forth between Michelle and Luke. He didn''t even care to lower his voice, thus, everyone in the room heard him.


    As a reaction, Luke raised his head and cast a warning re at Rain. Michelle was so embarrassed that she could only wish that there was a hole in the floor she could jump into. She had never confessed her feelings for Luke but everyone knew it now! How was she able to face Luke in the future?


    Edward watched the drama indifferently. However, he would not bother himself to defuse the tension since Michelle had rejected his help. He decided not to give her any advice from now on.


    After lunch, Michelle made an excuse and left them hurriedly. Her movements were so fast as if she were chased by a wild animal. She couldn''t stand Luke''s detached attitude anymore as it made her feel low.


    "Mr. Mu, since when you''ve begun to y Cupid?" asked Luke with a frown. He was really displeased with this arrangement.


    "You''re misunderstanding me. Michelle is Leena''s friend and she came to FX International Group with Leena. I was being polite when I asked her to have lunch with us." Edward was too proud to admit his initial n of pairing Luke with Michelle. He didn''t want Luke to think that he was a matchmaker.


    "Really?" Luke said in disbelief. He had served Edward for so many years and knew him well. He didn''t think that Edward was telling the truth.


    "Forget it," responded Edward in a cold tone before turning to Leena. "Leena, do you want me to drive you home?" he offered as he didn''t want to continue with the topic anymore.


    "That''s not necessary. I''ll drive myself home. Don''t worry," answered Leena with a sweet smile as she set her eyes to Luke. She knew that Michelle had a thing for Luke, thus, she decided to help her win his heart. They were really good friends after all. "Leena, let''s go for a stroll," Rain suggested as he draped his coat on his shoulder and smiled.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "Oh, okay. Where are we going?" Leena was genuinely surprised by Rain''s suggestion as he seldom asked her to go for a stroll.


    "Let''s just roam around the city, okay?" Oddly, Rain had changed a lot since Annie''s departure. Not only had he shown no interest in women but also barely went to the clubs. It was like he was reborn, however, his character remained the same as before. "Mr. Wu wille to discuss the contract this afternoon. Aren''t you going to work?" Edward asked with a frown as he had no clue of what was wrong with Rain.


    "Come on! You are there. I believe you can handle it. Leena, let''s go," said Rain nonchntly as he grabbed Leena by the hand and pulled her away. His abrupt action shocked Leena, thus, she could only turn her head to Edward and gave the man an apologetic look. Edward took a deep breath to stop himself from wanting to catch Rain and beat him up. He couldn''t believe how Rain had be weirder and weirder just because of Annie. Rain might have been unruly in the past. However, he was way out of the line now. "Rain, slow down!" shouted Leena as she tried to keep up with Rain''s pace. She was wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes, thus, she was having a hard time.


    "Sorry. I was losing control." Finally, Rain slowed down and looked back at her. His handsome face and extravagant clothes attracted the attention of some people passing by.


    "It''s okay. What''s the matter with you? Are you still upset because of Annie?" Smoothing her messy hair that was ruffled by the breeze, Leena stared at Rain to observe his expression.


    "I''ve heard enough about her, so skip it. Let''s just take a walk." A frown appeared on Rain''s face. However, it didn''t evenst a second before his expression turned casual again. He then started walking forward without even looking back. "Are you trying to run away from the reality?" said Leena as she followed him. She thought that Rain couldn''t live like this anymore.


    "Leena, you can leave now if you just keep talking about her." Rain stopped and shot Leena a disappointed re.


    "Okay, okay! I won''t mention her anymore. Rain, will you buy me delicious foodter?" Leena held his arm and shed a big grin. It was obvious that Rain wasn''t in the mood to talk about Annie, so she had to respect that. "Oh,e on! You already have a chubby face. Aren''t you afraid of gaining weight?" Rain pinched her cute face as he ignored the curious stares of the passersby.


    "You brat! Why are you always reminding me of my weight?" Leena feigned anger as she turned her head and shook off his arm. Then she walked past him without even waiting for him as if they were a couple who just had a fight. In reaction, Rain just chuckled as he caught up with her. He grabbed her hand and then walked through the streets and alleyways.


    Theyughed and yed with each other like they were still children. They were free and careless at the moment as they forgot about all their troubles and difficulties. It was indeed a good time.


    On the other hand, Kevin was stopped by amercial vehicle as soon as he walked out of the army base. He was still wondering about who was bold enough to block his way when a beautiful woman got off the car.


    "Major General Gu, it''s so nice to see you again." Dorothy greeted Kevin with a smile. She didn''t look like she was wearing makeup, but she still looked extremely beautiful with her clean, sharp eyebrows, full lips, and pretty nose.
