"Oh, it's you. Why should I meet you in the first place? I don't even think that we are close enough for us to have a need to meet and talk." Belinda quipped. She had gotten angry with Duke because of Rachel for several times. Everything was just bouncing back and turning good now. She was doing well with Duke and their wedding ceremony was about to be held in two days. Thus, she wondered what on earth did they need to talk about.
"Why not? Are you afraid of me? That's why you don't want to see me?" Rachel scoffed. She concluded that Belinda must be born and raised up in a poor family and that she would be too restrained to talk to an elegant woman like her.
"Afraid of you? I don't think so. It's not necessary for me. Don't irritate me with your dares. It won't work on me." Belinda pressed her palm against her brow. Her wedding ceremony was on the horizon and she really did not want any unexpected problems.
"Ms. Shangguan, are you really not curious about the thing between Duke and me? We fell in love so much." Duke was wary of her. So Rachel's original plan was to break Duke's wariness step by step so she could capture his heart gradually. All her efforts were put in vain though in spite of her many attempts. Then she realized that the mission was impossible. Another trick came to her mind though after obtaining Belinda's number. She decided to call, irritate, and hopefully, disappoint her. This way, Belinda would feel hurt and be disappointed at Duke. At that time, she would have a chance to comfort Duke.
"Miss Qin, are you trying to sow discords between me and Duke?" She and Duke might not love each other, but a third party was still definitely not welcome between them. A Rachel Qin would never be a threat.
"Trying to sow discords? Can't you feel it?" Rachel snorted from her nose. She could not believe that Duke fell in love with Belinda. All the superiorities she had all this while would worth to none if he really did. She refused to accept that fact and would go insane.
"As I see it, yes, you are sowing discords. I should be polite at least since you are insisting on talking to me. Tell me where is it?" Belinda disliked this kind of invitation but found herself with no other option. She was also curious. She wanted to know what kind of breaking news she would tell her. After all, it was normal for her to be curious about the other woman her husband might have treated as a wife.
"Let's meet at the Revolving Restaurant. 7 pm. I'll see you in room 203." Rachel hung the phone up immediately after she finished her words. A scornful smile appeared on her face which made her look flirtatious.
Belinda took a look at her phone and she shook her head helplessly. She then threw the phone aside and continued with her files. The work to manage was just endless.
Belinda walked into the Revolving Restaurant that night wearing her well-fit and elegant business wear. The tailored suit showed her figure perfectly. Her naturally wavy hair was spread over her shoulders and back which made her look sexy, capable and experienced. She was the kind who could enjoy her life and work at the same time.
