Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 45

"You must be disappointed about that I am not Kieran!" Marlon stared at me.

I wanted to close the door, but Marlon held it and said, "Are you in the habit of shutting doors in people's faces if they are not Kieran?"

I took a deep breath and politely smiled, "Mr. Redford, we don't have much to talk about. Besides, it's inappropriate for you to visit me at night!"

"But Kieran can?" Marlon pushed the door open with a jerk and stood in front of me, casting his shadow over me.

I took a step back but pretended to be calm. "Mr. Redford, it is between me and Mr. Charles, so don't bother yourself with it. I think you should pay more attention to your fiancée. Didn't I just beat her up tonight?"

"Of course I care about Alicia!" Marlon stared at me, his eyes as dark as night. "I'm just here to tell you the takeover ceremony is set for tomorrow at noon. After signing the contract, we can have lunch together to celebrate and to say goodbye!"

"Alright!" I was having mixed feelings.

Marlon swept around the room, as if looking for something.

"Bye, Mr. Redford!" There were two voices in my head. After noon tomorrow, everything would be over. I would cut all ties with Marlon, and my contract with Kieran would be null. I would lead a normal life, take Davidson to a new city, and be done with this place.

Tonight was my last night here, but I felt upset about leaving. Marlon had caused me so much harm, but that couldn't overshadow my sadness over parting ways with him.

"See you tomorrow!" Marlon smiled at me.

The moment he turned around, I wanted to grab the corner of his clothes. For the last night, I really wanted to indulge in some time with him. I desired to hug the man with whom I had spent four years, and even a kiss on his cheek would do.

However, I covered my mouth looking at his back, trying not to make any sound that would suggest my attachment to him.

Enough was enough.

I watched Marlon leave until his figure disappeared out of sight. I stayed where I was and felt my heart empty. The sorrow buried deepest in my heart overwhelmed me with momentum.

'Rachael, don't be sad. Don't be hung up on him. You must start over with Davidson!' I forced a smile for myself, but I lost sleep that night.

Early in the morning, I reported to Kieran with dark shadows under my eyes and mentioned the contract.

"If the takeover ceremony goes well, I will terminate the contract!" Kieran said indifferently.

"Thank you, Mr. Charles. Then I will excuse myself!" I happily bowed to him and left, closing the door behind me.

Leaving Kieran's Company, I went straight to Marlon Group. I knew the ceremony would enjoy an important audience, but I was still amazed at how it turned out when I entered the set.

Not only were all the executives of Marlon Group present, but so were those of Universal Group, except Kieran. They were all seated and turned to look at me. I felt somewhat unconfident. This was the first time I had ever attended such a huge and formal event. Furthermore, I was the star of the day. I couldn't help but be proud of myself.
