It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1679

Before the party commenced, Belinda unwittingly saw Rain. As someone who rarely came to YS Group, it came as a surprise to see him there, and she found it a rare opportunity to make fun of him.

"Hey Rain," taunted Belinda, "Did the sun start to rise from the west? To what do we owe the pleasure of having you here?" As she took a jab at the unsuspecting man, Belinda feigned surprise as he drew closer. Then, as if to support her inquiry, she peered through the window mockingly, checking if the sun did choose to rise from the other side that day.

Rain did not expect that Belinda would really believe that the sun was rising from the west and even try to figure out. He just said ironically, "Now, do you find out where is the sun rising from?" He gave her a long and daring look, his scorn visible from a mile away, and the scent of irony basically oozing from his suit.

"What nonsense. Have you seen what time it is? The sun's in the middle of the sky," Belinda said, matter-of-factly. "How would you see whether the sun rose from the west or east at this hour?" Throwing a dirty look at him, Belinda snorted derisively at his simplicity.

"Good for you to know that," said Rain indifferently, "So why were you pretending to see the sun then? You silly girl." Aware of the woman trying to play him, Rain couldn't figure out whether to stoop to her level. It was apparent that Belinda was only intending to tease him. 'What a terrible woman, ' he thought to himself.

"I just want to. What's it to you?" retorted Belinda, not skipping a beat. Personally, she was angry at Rain for the way he would act and speak to her. His tone was rude, and he often acted inconsiderate, yet treated Daisy with such reverence. The huge difference made Belinda uncomfortable.

"Where's Annie?" After a short and ridiculous quarrel, Rain decided to ask what he really wanted to know.

"I wouldn't know," said Belinda, "It's not like she's my employee." As his attitude persisted to vex her, she didn't want to give him the satisfaction by answering him quickly. She intended to drag this for as long as she could.

"That's enough joking," said Rain seriously, "Just tell me. I'm very busy." There wasn't a lot of time to waste. The boss' arrival was sometime tonight, and it only meant two things. He had to work at FX International Group, and on top of that, he also had to complete a few things in KD Group.

"Okay, well," Belinda said, pretending to be deep in thought. "If you say something nice to me, I might just consider whether I should tell you what you need." It annoyed her that he always referred to her as Belinda Chick. Not once had he called her respectfully, like he so adoringly did when it was Daisy, and she thought this was rather unfair.

"Belinda Chick," emphasized Rain, frowning. "You're not getting any younger. In fact, you're the mother of a three-year-old kid. So could you please be a little mature?" Although serious, he couldn't help but find the nickname just as interesting and funny as the first time he thought of it.

"Go away! Since I'm immature as you like putting it," Belinda said, gritting her teeth, "Why don't you just look for her yourself?" Staring at him, she felt a rush of blood to the head. How difficult was it for him to say something nice to her?

"No, no, no," said Rain, like a child throwing a tantrum. "Please tell me! You know as well as I do that if I run around to find her, it will impose a negative impact on your company's usual operations. I suspect you wouldn't want that to happen, would you?" It was widely known that women, if bewildered enough, could be quite fickle. In his own opinion, no one else in the world suited the term more than Belinda Chick.
