"Do you really have nothing to do with her? I remember that she is your first love!" Belinda said. Her tone was casual. But obviously, her words contained a kind of envy.
"First love? Perhaps even I don't know if what I had for her could be called love. There is no need for you to be worried about her," Duke answered. He admitted that he really liked Rachel for a certain amount of time in the past. But now when he recalled that time, he thought it was just a period of ignorance while he was young. It was not really love. Otherwise, how could he have no feeling when he thought about her now?
"Now you are telling me that you don't even know whether what you felt for her was love or not. You have not yet understood your own thoughts. How can you expect me to understand you? After all, in her eyes, even though you got married to me, the woman you love so dearly will always be her," Belinda said in a sarcastic tone. This was the first time for Belinda to fight with Duke. She just knew that she would be a traditional housewife who was so easy to believe in some idle reports about her husband. She always lived very free and easy. But today she realized that she was behaving strange and different from her usual behavior. This was really not her style.
"It's just her thoughts. This has nothing to do with me. I just need to remember who my wife is. I do not give a damn care about what other people think," Duke answered. He laughed wantonly. He was not a man who would ever return to his old flame; especially to a woman who was so arrogant. It would make him lose all the appetite.
"It is very easy for you to say it in front of me now. But have you ever thought that she will work with you every day in the future. And can you promise that you will never recall the things that happened before and will not get attracted to her ever?" All right! Belinda admitted that she was a little petty this time. But it was the character that every woman owned, wasn't it? She was not a saint. Duke was her husband now. Therefore, she could not tolerate a woman like Rachel getting closer to her husband.
"I'll go to the company and fire her tomorrow. Is that okay? You should believe me now!" Duke did not know why but he got a little excited. Did this woman's performance tonight indirectly showcase that she was very concerned about him? But he did not realize why he was secretly pleased when he found out that this woman cared about him.
"There is no need to fire her. Anyway, I could not be so unreasonable. I know that If you really belong to me, you will always belong to me. And if you do not belong to me, no matter how I force you, you will never be mine. In this case, it is better for me to gamble boldly, since the bet is not me."
As she said, her dull mood gradually faded away. Suddenly, she was interested in the challenge. She would not force Duke to fire that woman. She would like to see, how she could fail in the gamble? Anyway, she was such an excellent woman.
"Woman, do you mean I am the wager between you and Rachel? It's none of my business. I'm innocent." Duke said as his facial expressions became cold. He ruthlessly stared at Belinda. Was he really so unimportant to her that she could regard him as a reward without considering his feelings.
