It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1432

"Oh, well, I can understand it. After all, he is a Major General," Dorothy said politely, by way of explanation. Passersby greeted her from time to time; she was after all a popular actress.

"Excuse me," Leena said, "but, I must be leaving now." Leena frowned as she noticed Rain, surrounded by a group of women fawning over him. She quickly trotted over. He really was going too far.

Dorothy drank some more wine and stared at Leena, licking her red lips. The woman who had used her photos to blackmail her was pressing her again, and Dorothy must do something about it this evening.

"Enough, Rain! Stop drinking!" Leena instructed firmly, taking his glass and setting it on the table next to them.

"I just had a few glasses," Rain explained. 'I shouldn't have asked Leena to be my companion to this party, she is being a bore, ' he thought.

"It doesn't matter how much you drank. You are going too far this evening. You are acting like a fuckboy!" Leena gritted her teeth in suppressed anger. Leena hated this kind of behavior, especially in men, so she was quick to stop him.

"Oh no, look, our little princess has gotten angry," Rain teased in an animated voice, avoiding Leena's disapproving eye.

"I'm not angry. I just don't want you to be taken advantage of by a group of shameless women," Leena said with a frown. She just didn't understand how women could act so shamelessly, and without honor. They pretended to be the purest and most innocent women, but under the magnifying glass they were revealed as willing to sleep with anyone who was rich and powerful.

"So what? If I have sex with them, I'm not the one on the loose," Rain said, arching one eyebrow. Rain found that Leena had changed a lot since she got married. In the past she would not have involved herself in his affairs.

"Come on! You were acting like a man-whore, with those women touching you all over. And to act so in public! I hate seeing you like this, so I interceded. But, if that's how you want to act and be seen, then go ahead, I'm tired of caring." Leena was really pissed off with Rain now as he was making a mockery of himself.

"Ha! Why should I deny myself some pleasure? No one truly loves me, so if so many women are interested in spending time with me, why should I turn them down?" Rain said bitterly. Sorrow had crept into his voice, breaking Leena's heart.

"Do you have to think like that? What if Annie saw how you just behaved? What would she think of you?" Leena hadn't wanted to mention Annie, especially not in front of Rain. She knew that he would be hurt, but she had to stop him from doing something he would regret.

"Annie? Do you think she really cares how I act? If she really cared for me, she wouldn't have left me without even saying goodbye!" He half choked on emotions threatening to erupt. Embarrassed now, he reached out his hand to take a new glass of wine from a passing waiter and gulped it down.

"You are not like this! How do you know she doesn't care about you? Come on, let's call it a day and go home," Leena pleaded, taking his hand and preparing to leave.

"Here's to you, Mr. Xia. I want to thank you for taking the time and honoring me with your presence today." Dorothy interrupted their departure with her approach. She had taken the opportune moment to cut in.

"Dorothy Lu? Sorry, I'm not here for you. As the VP of FX International Group, I always attach great importance to the interests of the company. I would do anything for the benefit of the FX International Group," Rain spoke with a lip contemptuously curled and a cold smile. Although Dorothy was popular, she was nothing more than a money maker to him. Most importantly, she had once been romantically linked with Leena's husband. Leena was Rain's beloved sworn sister, and he would by no means be nice to anyone who dared to hurt her.

Dorothy was embarrassed into silence at Rain's statement. As a public figure, she hadn't been treated like this before. Her plans to stop Leena from leaving the party had failed, and she was struck numb by the vehement insult.

"Miss Lu, please don't mind Rain's comments. He's quite drunk, and didn't mean it that way. I apologize on his behalf," Leena said earnestly, aware of the people surrounding them. Many people were attracted by the scene, and their faces changed, showing disbelief at Rain's words. Leena didn't want the employees of FX International Group to become disgruntled with their VP, so she immediately apologized to Dorothy to make up for Rain's mistake.
