"He or she would definitely not be rude if I were talking with someone else. Your assumption does not stand up." Those who pretended to be well-educated yet acted and spoke the opposite were the kind of people Leena hated the most. How misleading she was!
"Young girl, do yourself a favor and don't trust something forever. It's not good for you. Keep this in mind, things change all the time." Louisa teased arrogantly. She took out her card from her purse and passed it to the salesperson. A mocking smile was plastered on her face.
"Thanks for your kind advice but I don't think I need it. I'd like to offer you the same suggestion though. Goodbye." That was a really annoying conversation. It made her completely lose her patience and at the same time, lose her interest in shopping. Maybe she was not supposed to go out today. Otherwise, she would not have met such a disrespectful woman.
"Smart you. Next time, don't linger on things that you can't afford." Louisa believed that it was easy to measure people by judging what they wore or how they looked. She clearly forgot something. As an old Chinese saying goes: the last thing one should not do is judging people with their appearance. Just like what just happened. Little did Louisa know that Leena Leng's property and wealth were definitely far beyond what she could ever own as the commander's daughter.
Leena curved her lips and said nothing. She just stayed silent and turned away. Was Louisa right that she couldn't afford the ear-studs? Of course not. It was not even an exaggeration to say that she was rich enough to buy all the things inside that shop. It was just that she chose to be a low-profile woman. She did not spend too much time talking with the rude lady because she would like to maintain her low-key. Plus, ignoring those situations was what truly elegant women would do.
Louisa was a picture of smug satisfaction when she took the ear-studs and walked out of that shop. She let go of the encounter and forgot about the woman she judged so quickly. She never had a clue that they would meet again in just a few days.
Time slipped away fast. Soon there were only two days left before Duke and Belinda's wedding ceremony. The whole office of Leng Group had been buzzing since morning. Their CEO just announced the latest news about him that he would take a week off two days later. That was the reason why they needed to crunch all the works and meetings in advance within two days.
Rachel Qin walked quickly to the president's office with a pile of sales records in her hand. She was surprised with the big news Duke had announced this morning. She couldn't figure out why he wanted to take a week leave in a sudden.
She stood still after knocking on the door as she waited for a response. She heard nothing but silence though. It seemed like nobody was in the office at all. She reached out to turn the doorknob and tried to open the room. The sudden click from the knob surprised her. The door wasn't locked. Therefore, Duke was either in his office or just left temporarily.
She walked inside carefully. Her goal was only to place the documents on his desk and leave. What happened two days ago made Duke hate her beyond decorum. She had concluded that it was better for her not to stay too close to him for a while so as to avoid more conflicts. They both needed to calm themselves down. Those were her thoughts until she found the phone he must've left on the desk. She decided to do something. She took a quick glance around to make sure that no one was there then picked the phone up with quivering hands. Maybe she could find something useful for her, she wondered.
