Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 42

I watched coldly as Marvin made a phone call. I wasn't worried at all. How could Marvin know Kieran's personal number? Marvin was just playacting.

"Okay, yes, we'll be expecting you tomorrow night!" Marvin hung up the phone with a brilliant smile. It was too hard to ignore.

"Rachael, Mr. Charles has agreed. Come with him tomorrow night!" Marvin patted me on the shoulder cheerfully.

I dodged but was uncertain. "Marvin, don't lie to me. How could you have his number!"

Marvin smirked. "Rachael, you underestimate Dad. My company is doing business with Universal Group. I don't have his personal number, but I can have his work number!"

"Rachael, do come home with him tomorrow night for dinner. Don't be shy!" Shania also said with a smile. Then, they got into the car and left happily.

They took me by surprise.

Why would Kieran agree to have dinner at my father's house? I watched them driving away and felt a little disturbed. However, I had signed a contract with Kieran. It stipulated that during the contract period, I had no right to interfere with his decisions.

I shook my head. Davidson's safety was enough for me. I didn't care about anything else, let alone a dinner at Marvin's house.

I went back to my apartment with that in mind. Perhaps because Davidson was safer now, I slept soundly tonight. Unfortunately, I received a call from Marlon as soon as I arrived at the company the next morning.

"Come over, now!" Marlon ordered on the phone.

I really wanted to hang up on him, but Marlon said indifferently, as if he had read my mind, "It's about CH!" Immediately after, the call ended.

I was stupefied for a moment holding my phone. I worked my ass off for the CH project, but it didn't seem to work out. I didn't understand why Marlon called me about the CH project. I wanted to ignore him, but I felt jumpy sitting there, so I grabbed my purse and went to Marlon Group.

I had to admit I was holding onto a glimmer of hope. Perhaps Marlon finally decided to sell CH to Universal Group!

"Ms. Cornell, Mr. Redford is waiting for you in the office!" The minute I entered the building, the receptionist greeted me and politely walked me upstairs. From the look of it, this was Marlon's arrangement.

His office was on the top floor. The door was closed. I pushed it open and walked in. Marlon was not reading files but sitting on the sofa savoring red wine. When he saw me, he smiled faintly and said, "Hello!"

I was surprised by that smile. I couldn't remember how long I hadn't seen it. It felt long enough. Or rather, he charmed me with it when we first met.

Obviously, his smile was bewitching. It melted the heart with just the right amount of allure, like the best whiskey, pure at sight but pungent in taste. It could make a woman lose herself.

I took a deep breath, calmed down, and smiled as I walked over. "Mr. Redford, I wonder if you've decided to entrust CH to me."

Marlon slowly took another sip of wine before putting down the glass. "Yes, I gave it some thought and think it's best it is in your hands!"
