Rachel felt a bit helpless. “There's no way anything could happen between Vincent and me. Liz, what else could possibly develop? Just because Vincent spoke a few words to you, it doesn't mean there could be something between him and me.”
Suddenly, Rachel didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Vincent was both unpleasant and overly talkative. She hadn't even given her consent yet, and it was probable that he had already informed all their friends.
However, feelings can't be forced.
With this thought, Rachel cursed Vincent inwardly.
Just as Vincent and Gareth found a restaurant, Vincent sneezed heavily several times right at the entrance.
He rubbed his nose, muttering to himself, “How strange, I don't have a cold, but why am I sneezing so much?”
“That's easy to figure out. You must have done something to upset someone, and now they're talking behind your back and cursing you!” These were the words Gareth quietly directed toward him from his side.
Gareth's words served as a wake-up call for Vincent, who shrugged and said, “Who could I have possibly offended recently? As a lawyer, isn't it common to fight cases and discuss them? As representatives of our clients, even if the other party gets emotional, they would vent at our clients, not us... Right, Rachel. The only person who could possibly badmouth me behind my back is Rachel.”
The idea of Rachel gritting her teeth and vehemently cursing him at that moment amused Vincent to some extent.
He had been making efforts to win her over for a considerable amount of time, but he still hadn't succeeded in getting Rachel to open up. Rachel truly proved to be a challenging puzzle. Nevertheless, he remained determined and wasn't about to give up.
Gareth stayed quiet as he entered the restaurant. He asked for a private room and then proceeded to follow the waiter to it, with Vincent trailing closely behind him.
Back at the café, upon hearing Rachel say that it was impossible for her to get together with Vincent, Elisa fell silent. She knew that discussing relationship matters was never easy.
