Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1187

Rita closed the magazine in her hand, frustrated. She raised an eyebrow and said, "I thought everything was ready for tomorrow? It's going to be 10 pm when the plane touches down in T City. You mean I still have to go to the company?"

Allen stopped reading as well and turned to look at Rita.

Mia Xiao glanced nervously at Allen then said, "Mr. Gu is already in T City. I can't say for sure whether it's for tomorrow's matter or not."

Rita nodded. "Okay. I see."

Mia Xiao then excused herself and returned to her seat, which was only a few places away from them. Rita opened the magazine again, and while flipping through the pages, she said, "You seem to be nervous."

Allen shot her a glance and replied coldly, "Don't you feel nervous?" He jeered, "I'm worried about the finances of the Shen Family. You..." His moved his eyes from Rita to the smooth floor in front of him and slowly uttered, "You are worried if this thing goes wrong, you and I won't be together anymore!" He looked back at Rita with his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Rita seemed to be unaffected by Allen's words. Smiling, she said, "You can say so because you think that even if you fail, you have done your best. Then, you can go back and pursue Elsa again. Perhaps, this wouldn't be a bad outcome for you, after all, right?"

When he realized that Rita could see right through his facade and hit the nail on the head, he clenched his jaw, and his expression returned to normal again. "You seem to analyze me so well. Does that mean you love me?" he mocked.

Rita snapped the magazine and glared at him. With a cynical smile on her face, she sneered, "Allen, do you really believe that Elsa would go back to you? Apart from the financial aspect, Charlie is way more outstanding than you. He is an excellent student, and Charlie can offer Elsa a prosperous life. That's what Elsa would desire."

The moment Rita mentioned Charlie's name, Allen could feel the rage burning inside him. If it weren't for Charlie, he wouldn't have to worry about Elsa in his plan.

While the two of them were quarreling, some people had entered the VIP room. Allen and Rita stopped and looked toward the door. Shortly after Charlie, Evelyn and Bess came in, laughing and talking with each other. Some people followed behind. One of them said something to Charlie. After Charlie had nodded, they stayed where they were with their heads bowed to show respect until all three of them had walked past. Once the trio had walked past, the people straightened up and left.

At the sudden unexpected encounter, Allen's whole body tensed, and he clenched his teeth. 'You're Evelyn's gigolo, and at the same time, you flirt with Elsa and act like a gentleman. You're such a low life scum bag! A deceitful asshole!' he cursed in his heart.
