Kenneth Shawn didn’t speak anymore.
Ogden Reed tilted his head and spoke in a mocking tone, “But, I don’t see you wear it anymore. Did anything happen?”
Rachel Lewis’s heart skipped a beat and she pretended to look away subconsciously and carelessly.
On the other hand, Kenneth didn’t display anything unusual. He calmly lifted and looked at his slender finger, and smiled, “You don’t have to worry about me and my wife, Mr. Reed. We just re-ordered a new pair that hasn’t arrived yet. It looks good. I’ll recommend the designer to you on another day, so you can make an appointment in advance.”
Rachel pursed her lips and coldly smiled inside.
He was such a good liar; his face didn’t turn red and his heart didn’t skip a beat.
Ogden glanced at Rachel, then looked at him, and laughed, “I probably won’t be able to use wedding rings for now. Such an honorable man like Mr. Shawn must have a good relationship with his wife.”
“It’s alright.” Kenneth stood there straight and silent like he didn’t want to say anything more. Although it was only two simple words, it displayed the doting love.
Rachel’s heart raced, and she stared at him in a daze.
Ogden looked at her as if he remembered something, with an apologetic tone, “I’m sorry, Ms. Lewis. Are you alright?”
Everyone there knew she just divorced. Suddenly talking about loving couples might naturally be a little impolite.
Rachel was suddenly awakened. She smiled and looked at Kenneth’s eyes meaningfully, “I’m alright, but a man as good as Mr. Shawn makes one really envious of Mrs. Shawn. He protected her so well that the internet doesn’t have any information about her.”
He looked back at her with deep and focused eyes, a light smile on his face, and a soft voice but stressed words, “Ms. Lewis’ husband also makes one really envious. He protected you so well; only a few knew about your divorce.”
“…” Rachel was speechless for a moment, but smiled instead with a dim grin, “Now that you’ve said it, Mr. Shawn. It looks like I have to set a Back-to-Single party with family and friends. Or else, if I get close to any man, people might think I have cheated while married.”
His aura suddenly became extremely cold and the way he looked at her was scary.
Ogden seemed to have been amused by her words, and joked, “If Ms. Lewis announces that she’s single again, Vantage Inc.’s gate will be crushed by her suitor.”
Rachel curled her lips casually, “I’m not young anymore. I can’t just focus on one man, right?”
Kenneth silently stared at her, with his eyes gradually darkening.
They chatted for a while, then the secretary reminded Ogden of the time, “Mr. Reed, it’s time.”
“That was fast.” Ogden slightly frowned, then stood up and looked at them with a faint smile, “Mr. Shawn, drop by F&R Group sometime.”
“Definitely.” Kenneth slowly got up.
“Ms. Lewis, call me if you need anything and take care.”
Rachel nodded and smiled, “Thanks Mr. Reed, take care too.”
After the small talk, Ogden left with his secretary and a few staff members.
After they left, Rachel said nothing and was about to leave.
Kenneth accurately clasped her wrist, his unhappiness no longer concealed, “Didn’t you agree to stay away from him?”
Rachel sneered coldly, “If I am the boss of Dragon Age, I won’t even want to look at him once, including you. You think I’m willing to smile at you? Let go!”
He frowned, “You couldn’t dare reject him, yet you’re ridiculing me. Who gave you that courage?”
