When Holley heard what Alan had said, her face was immediately devoid of any expression. She looked unreadable except for her cold eyes that gave away her anger.
A cold smile graced her lips. 'I never expect that Rachel hasn't given up yet. But she's still so foolish that she even believes Alan, a disgusting man. No wonder she can't be successful, ' she thought.
At that moment, Holley filled with anger and sympathy for Rachel.
Meanwhile, Alan's hands roamed around Holley's body again when he saw that she was lost in her thoughts. He first touched her neck, and when Holley didn't resist, he continued to move his hands down.
Suddenly, Holley stood up from the seat and vigorously shook off Alan's hands. "Mr. Zhao, please stay away from me," she said and looked at him with disgust.
However, Alan was not pleased when Holley stopped him. He grabbed her chin and turned her face towards his. "Who do you think you are? I advise you not to be shameless!" he hissed.
Holley struggled to get out of his grip, and when she did, she mercilessly said, "I don't need you to judge who I am. Now that you have told me the big secret, I don't think I need to stay here anymore. Mr. Zhao, goodbye." After Holley finished her words, she turned to leave.
Anger steamed out of Alan and he quickly grabbed Holley's hand to stop her from leaving.
"I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. I just reminded you to be careful of Rachel. It's for your own good, but you want to kick away the ladder now? I'm warning you, Holley Ye. Since you don't know how to respect me, let's wait and see!" Alan shouted.
"Mr. Zhao, you must be kidding me. I'm not ungrateful. I just realized that I didn't need to be kind and generous to a lecher. You just want to have sex with lots of women. In fact, I think it was nice of me to patiently listen to all your nonsense for such a long time!" Holley yelled back.
It was already a hard night for Holley. She didn't want to tolerate Alan anymore, so she poured out all her anger and disgust towards the man.
No matter what Alan said, Holley just left after she finished her words. The clicking of high-heeled shoes on the glossy tiled floor gradually faded away. And soon Holley left.
Even though he was mad with fury, Alan couldn't do anything but stay quiet in the private room. At this point, he really regretted his choice to talk to Holley. If only he'd known that she was so merciless, he would've helped Rachel buy the shares to make her the owner of Tarsan Corporation. At least Rachel was gentle and pleasant unlike Holley.
Whenever Alan remembered the things that happened today, he became angrier. He vowed to never give up! Whatever he suffered today would someday be returned to Holley.
At the door of Emperor KTV
Cassie's vision was blurry as she was so drunk. After a night of talking, drinking, and singing with her colleagues, she felt her consciousness slowly slip away.
At that moment, she and Cora leaned on each other's bodies.
"You're both drunk, do you mind if I take you home first?" said one of her male colleagues.
Cassie waved a hand to refuse her colleague's offer and called a taxi. When the cab arrived, she and Cora helped each other get inside.
In the cab, Cassie vaguely remembered that she had to meet Nick later. She wanted to tell the driver the address, but she couldn't remember where Nick lived.
At that exact moment, Cora already told the driver her address, and the taxi drove forward to the house's direction.
At Nick's home
It had been all night since Nick returned home and waited for Cassie. He called her several times, but no one picked up his call.
