My Reincarnated Wife Is A Little Too Sweet novel Chapter 55

During the whole dinner time, Cyndy tried to get close to Richard but she was not successful and since she was still feeling uneasy after almost being caught, she did not make it obvious.

Richard sat their quietly only concentrating on Amanda. He could only nod his head if someone asked him a question.

Cyndy was very jealous. She had seen this man when she attended a dinner party with her father one time. Since that day, she had dreamed of different scenarios of them meeting again. She never thought that after seeing him again, she will never even have the chance of getting closer.

She now regretted playing that game. If she had not wanted to embarrass Amanda maybe she will be the one sitting beside Richard now.

Feeling a cold gaze on her, Amanda turned around and met Cyndy's cold eyes. They were filled with undisguised hate and envy. Seeing that, Amanda decided to infuriate her further as she smiled at her provocatively. 

After dinner, everyone left only Amanda and Richard were left in the big room.

"Aren't we leaving?" Richard asked he looked at her gently.

"You know we cannot leave together." Amanda said.

"Okay. I will wait for you in the car." Richard said as he removed his coat and placed it on her shoulders. Feeling the warmth emitting from his coat and his unique scent, Amanda gently hugged the coat closer to her body.

When Richard left he was blocked by a petite figure. He frowned a little and you could see a sense of impatience on his handsome face.

"Mr. Richard." Cyndy called out softly. No one knew where she had popped out from. The bodyguards became vigilant and made a protective wall around their boss.

Richard did not even look at her and continued to walk forward.

Cyndy did not give up and tried to stop him. The bodyguards pushed her away without showing any mercy.

"Don't be deceived by that Amanda. She is not all she seems to be. She is scheming and has a lot of sponsors outside. Do you know how many investors she has slept with. A word from her got my friend replaced. Don't be deceived by her innocent outlook. She is a bitch on the inside." Cyndy shouted as she helped herself stand up.

Her butt hurt so much that she almost cried but she did not shed even a drop of tear. She only looked at the man going in the car with an infatuated expression. 

Richard did not slow down and soon reached the car.

The driver opened the car door respectfully. When Richard entered, he was shocked that Amanda was already sitting in the back seat.

"When did you come?" He asked with unconceled surprise.

"I came out from the back door." Amanda answered.

"What took you so long?" She could not help but ask.

"I was held back by some dog. It could not stop backing and it was irritating." Richard said, his voice filled with disdain.

"A dog?" Amanda obviously did not believe him.

"It's nothing. I will send you home." Richard said as he seated himself beside her and naturally reached out to hug her.

Amanda did not refuse and rested her head on his shoulders. She was exhausted and she could not wait to close her eyes.

"Tired?" Richard asked as he massaged her forehead.

"Uh uh." Amanda nodded lazily.

"Sleep then." He adjusted her head so she could not hurt her neck and then said to the driver. "Drive slowly."

...

After one week of resting, Amanda was notified by her new company that she needed to start work. They had already signed the contract and she just needed to report to the company.
