His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 462

Upon hearing this, Leila stood there uneasily with an embarrassed expression. During their last meeting, she was with a man in his fifties. Since he was one of Charles's most important clients, she tried all means to please him and ensured that he signed a contact with Charles. Undoubtedly she let that man take advantage of her.

After ignoring other people seated around the table, she rested herself on that man's lap seductively. Even though she finally bagged the deal for Charles, others thought her act was uncouth and indecent.

But hearing Madeline mentioning their meeting in a good light, she was certain that she was being mocked.

With a faint smile, Leila returned,"You flatter me. I just did my job obediently."

"Oh, is that so?" Madeline sneered. "Miss Zhang, I have something rather important to deal with. I shall see you later!"

"Sure, please do carry on," Leila responded politely. Leila felt quite disappointed as she reflected upon their meeting. 'She said those words just out of courtesy. I know she didn't mean it. I don't know if I will ever get to meet her again. After all, she is a successful business woman.'

Madeline turned around and commanded the obedient girl waiting behind her,"Follow me, Pamela."

"Um, Aunt Madeline!" that girl replied meekly, catching a glimpse of Leila unintentionally. Catching the girl looking at her, Leila returned the gaze by looking into her eyes. When she saw her innocent eyes, she was stunned. It had been a long time since she met someone as naive and innocent as her.

Pamela He followed Madeline blindly, and they went straight towards Burke. Watching them going towards Burke, Leila was shocked.

'Do they know Burke?

Burke and Madeline, what's their relationship?' Her mind was flooded with a million questions, answers to which she might never get.

After Leila left him, Burke returned to his seat and began to drink. Once he realized the wine bottle was empty, he waved his hand in the air and shouted at the hotel manger who was standing behind him,"Spencer, bring me another bottle of wine."

The second he heard this, Spencer Ge cast a glance at Madeline. Upon seeing her shake her head slightly, he didn't respond. As he got no answer, Burke got up wobbling and caught sight of Madeline. She stood in front of him, looking displeased and disappointed.

"What are you doing here right now?" Burke asked rather coldly.

"I came here for you," Madeline replied in a dissatisfied tone. After looking at Burke and his obvious dejection, she couldn't resist expressing her anger and berated. "Look at yourself. You look like a sore loser who cannot get a grip on his life."

"Just leave me alone," Burke snapped back impatiently, as he waved his hand gesturing her to leave. "I failed, just like you thought I would. Are you happy now?"

"I told you clearly from the very start that it was impossible for you and that woman to be together," Madeline pouted. "Didn't you plan your grand proposal to her for tonight? Where is she?" she asked, as she looked around.

She saw no one except Leila who was standing still in shock and disbelief.

She wondered with a frown, 'Is she that woman Burke has loved for over ten years?'
